"The island," he says, "has completely changed since the war began. The beautiful little bathing place has been converted into a huge fortress, tremendously fortified. All civilians were compelled 1o leave the island and only naval men are to be seen in the streets. All are _ busy, continuously improving the fortifications. Many of the houses and trees have been removed to give an uninterrupted view of the sea. Doubled guards of sentries watch unceasingly to prevent surprise.'
