THi: ROCKY ROADSTEAD AT J.VFFA 



At the eastern end of the Mediterranean lies Jaffa, the principal gateway to the Holy 

 Land. Here Cassiopeia, queen of the Ethiopians, according to tradition, hoasted herself 

 equal in beauty to the Nereids. The resulting wrath of Poseidon sent a flood and a sea monster, 

 from which no relief could be secured until Cassiopeia's daughter, Andromeda, was chained 

 to the rocks and exposed to the monster. The rock to which she is reputed to have been 

 chained is visible in the picture. From Jaffa, also, Jonah set out on his adventurous voyage 

 (see text, page 306).
