An island guarding the entrance to Upper Frenchmans Bay. This island is the hard 

 rock-core of a hill that once rose above the stream-worn valley of the present bay; for the

 the level of the flooding sea— and it is this which gives it its bold character and remarkable 

 extent, the greatest in the country next to Florida.
