From the text:

Indian Island... the most enchanting place...

He had little leisure. And so, on this August morning, he was glad that he was leaving London and going to be for some days on an island off the Devon coast.

Indian Island. He remembered Indian Island as a boy... Smelly sort of rock covered with gulls - stood about a mile from the coast. It had got its name from its resemblance to a man's head - an American Indian profile.

But there was no house visible, only the boldly silhouetted rock with its faint resemblance to a giant Indian's head. There was something sinister about it. She shivered faintly.

The south side of the island was quite different It shelved gently down to the sea. The house was there facing south - low and square and modern-looking with
rounded windows letting in all the light.
