Abstract
Aden is a volcanic peninsula on the Arabian coast, about 100 miles east of Bab-al-Mandeb. It forms an important bunkering station on the highway to the East. The Colony includes Little Aden, a peninsula very similar to Aden itself, and the settlement and town of Sheikh Othman on the mainland, with the villages of Imad and Hiswa and Perim Island.
