Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)RECEPTION OF THE GOVERNOR OF BOMBAY AT ADEN. Aden, the rocky fortress which guards the southern entrance to the Red Sea, is under the control of the Government of Bombay, whence the troops which form its garrison are drawn. The fortress itself is under the immediate government of a Resident, who acts as military and civil governor. We here see the reception of the Governor of Bombay by the garrison. The value of Aden, with the neighbouring island of Perim, as a naval station is very great ; and of recent years the fortifications which overlook the anchorage and protect the coaling station have been greatly strengthened. It is at Aden that the traveller leaving Europe eastward bound first finds himself in presence of the administration of our great Indian Empire, of which the rocky fortress is the forepost and sentinel.
