ISLAND OF GELA, SHOWING TULAGI AND ENVIRONS.
This rough drawing, for which we are indebted to the Melanesian Mission, shows the large island of Gela (Florida) in the centre of the Solomons Group; and, off the south coast, the small island of Tulagi, on which are the headquarters of the B.S.I. Administration. Between Tulagi and Gela shore is the islet of Makambo, headquarters of Burns Philp (S.S.) Co., Ltd.
Tulagi harbour lies between Tulagi and Makambo. Gavutu island, headquarters of Levers Pacific Plantations, is two miles eastward of Tulagi. Scale of this drawing is about quarter-inch to mile.
