Map of SERCQ.

THE WEST COAST OF SARK AND BRECQHOU.  The standing rocks are the AUTELETS.  The first bay on the left is SAIGNIE; the next, PORT DU MOULIN; then behind the great rock TINTAGEU is PORT A LA JUMENT.  The GOULIOT PASS seperates SARK from BRECQHOU; the house on BRECQHOU was in the dip just above where the white waves are breaking.  The GALE de JACOB is close to the first cave.

THE CREUX ROAD, Which leads straight up to the life and centre of the
Island.

HAVRE GOSSELIN, and “The Cottage above the Chasm,” which Paul Martel built for Rachel Carre.

TINTAGEU.  The great detached rock in foreground is TINTAGEU; to the left, the altar rock on which Phil used to lie; the bay behind is PORT A LA JUMENT with BELFONTAINE in the cliffs at the head of it; in the foreground THE GOULIOT ROCKS and PASSAGE; on the right BRECQHOU.

THE LADY GROTTO.  “We knew every rock and stone, and every nook and cranny of the beetling cliffs.”  This is the LADY GROTTO near THE EPERQUERIE.

A QUIET LANE.  “The quiet gray lane, with its fern-covered banks and hedges of roses and honeysuckle.”

THE EPERQUERIE.  Above the shoulder of the hill to the left, JETHOU just appears; the larger island with the long painted beak is HERM, with her string of islets like a fleet of ships speeding to the north.  The lower of the two out-jutting headlands is where the Herm men landed.  The higher is BEC DU NEZ, the most northerly point of SARK.

IN THE CLEFT OF A ROCK.

BELOW BEAUMANOIR.  “And in Sercq, the headlands were great soft cushions of velvet turf, the heather purpled all the hillsides, and, on the gray rocks below, the long waves shouted aloud because they were free.”  This is the slope below “BEAUMANOIR,” looking into PORT ES SAIES.

BRECQHOU FROM THE SOUTH.  “I looked across at BRECQHOU as I came in sight of the Western Waters.”  This shows BRECQHOU from the south.  The dark gash near the head is THE PIRATES’ CAVE.  The island behind BRECQHOU is HERM.  The end of JETHOU just shows on the left.  GUERNSEY lies beyond them.

THE COUPEE.  Leading from SARK to LITTLE SARK.  At the time of the story, the path was much narrower than now, there were no supporting walls, and it was continually breaking away.  The pinnacles of the buttresses were also much higher.  The Island to the left is LE TAS or L’ETAC.

THE CHASM OF THE BOUTIQUES.  “The tide was still churning among its slabs and boulders.”

THE WATER CAVE.  “The roof and walls were studded with anemones of every size and colour.”

EPERQUERIE BAY.  Showing the bluff from which the men of SARK fired down on the men of HERM as they landed the boats.

DIXCART BAY.  Where the Herm men landed, is in the centre of the picture, right below the ruined mill on HOG’S BACK.  The straight-walled cliff on the right of the bay is where the Sark men took their stand.  The out-stretching point on the right is DERRIBLE.
