Viewed from the sea, it looks almost smiling, with its neighbouring villas, built in the European manner in gardens though still perhaps a little strange, and much more Mussulman in aspect than our towns of Algeria, with its walls of snowy whiteness, its high embattled kasbah, and its minarets decorated with old faience.
