 | | Mauke is a garden island, extremely verdant and fertile with magnificent hardwood trees in its interior. |
 | | Mauke proves to be a pretty little place, some six miles in circumference, "low" in type, but park-like and garden-like and dainty enough to wake covetous desires in the heart of almost any traveller. |
 | | Mauke's church, however, is not one of the exceptions, being exceedingly bold and ugly, and it is furthermore disfigured by the most horrible lapse of taste to he seen in almost any island church - the decoration of the pulpit and communion rails with silver dollars nailed on the in rows. |
