Eastward lies the 'Blockhouse' of M. Verdier, 'agent of the Government at Assini, so called from its battlemented roof. It is the old Fort Nemours, built in 1843. The 'Poste, abandoned during the war of 1870, was let to Messieurs Swanzy; it is a series of ridge-roofs surrounded by a whitewashed stockade.
Below it, on both banks of the river, the towers and spires of the city soared up from a sombre huddle of ridge-roofs, broken here by a round-headed gateway, crumbling and pigeon-haunted, that dated from St. Louis, and there by the gaunt arms of a windmill. The city lay dark under a light sky, keeping well its secrets.
