		Of all the larger inhabited islands of the Bahamas group, Eleuthera is the one that is most easily reached from Nassau, the capital of the Colony, and it is also the one that is developing most rapidly.
		True, Eleuthera is on the map; indeed of all the islands strung out between the northernmost lump that is Grand Bahama and the Turks and Caicos, in an uneven chain, it possesses the most original shape.
		This island is not a circular one, a palm-tufted atoll, as in the Pacific Ocean, but a long, hump-backed ridge, stretching for a hundred miles, and varying in width from six miles to a bare three-quarters of a mile, or even less.

		Some Royal Island natives hailed his boat but Columbus wrote: "I was afraid (to come ashore) seeing the great ledge of rocks that encircled the whole of that island."

		To him it was "formed like an island although it is not one, on which there are six houses; it could be converted into an island in two days." Your closer inspection will also show that it's bridged to Royal by marl-covered shallows not deep enough to keep Indians at bay.
