VERAPADROOG, IN THE BARRAMAH'L.
Verapadroog, with respect to its form and situation, is one of the most romantic forts of the Barramah'l. Its sides are very thickly clothed with wood a considerable way up, and the lower part is so surrounded by an impenetrable jungle, that the tigers, which are said to be very numerous here, find a secure and undisturbed shelter. It is distant from Ryacotta eleven miles.
