 coast. 



The afternoon was spent in an examination of 

 the Levisa Keys and the reef without. Although 

 a very light sea was running, it was, nevertheless, 

 too strong to permit venturing upon the coral 

 patches — especially as diademas were very abun-

 made among the sandy patches in and about the 

 reef which proved very profitable.
