Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) MONT ORGUEIL CASTLE, JERSEY.Jersey is a populous island covering some forty thousand acres; an island of fruit and flowers, full of beauty both of land and sea, and with a climate impossible to surpass. Mont Orgueil Castle is close above the little village of Gorey, which has a harbour and pier, and a small fishing industry. The castle is built upon the solid rock, and some bits of it are said to be Roman, but most of the building belongs to the twelfth century. It has been oftefl besieged, and once withstood an attack by Du Guesclin with 100,000 French troops. St. George's chapel, what is believed to be a Roman well, and the dungeons, in which was once confined the Puritan William Prynne, are the most interesting of the remains.
