Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
THE COUPE, SARK.
The double islet of Sark is about six miles from St. Peter-Port in Guernsey. The landing on the west is most difficult, and tourists land at Creux Harbour on the east, where from a little pier there is a tunnel through the rock to the table-land above. The large islet of Great Sark is about two miles, and Little Sark one mile in length. They are joined by a narrow isthmus known as the Coupée, forming a narrow rugged road along the top of a precipitous cliff 450 feet in length, and four hundred feet above the sea. The islands of Sari, small as is their compass, contain some of the gems of Channel Island landscape, and some grand specimens of rock scenery, amongst which the deep chasm of the Creux Terrible may be mentioned.
