"One would suppose that at a shrine so ancient some venerable remains of the superstitions of our forefathers would be found but there are none everything is commonplace. The Holy or Station Island is literally covered with buildings : thatched huts, slated houses, chapels, cold, stiff, whitewashed buildings, looking as if only erected a few years ago not one object to lead the thoughts back to the olden times."
