Reading edition
Of this expensive fruit, which grows in large quantities on the island, and only needs to be gathered, there are exported annually some five or six ship-loads, worth about fr. 200,000 (£8000), all which find their way to California, where 1000 oranges are worth from $40 to $60 (£8 8s. to £12 12s.), whereas, a similar quantity is worth in Tahiti at the outside £1 to £1 4s.
