| Abstract: | MALTA is but a tiny island, less than a hundred square miles in area, with no special beauty of hill or dale, almost without tree or stream, yet by the inscrutable decree of Destiny it has been called to fill a great role in the history of the world. Situated in the narrowest part of the Mediterranean. it lies in the direct route from Gibraltar to Port Said or the Dardanelles. midway from Italy to its turbulent colony of Tripoli and from the French territory of Tunis to their watchtower at Corfu, at the mouth of the Adriatic.
