ADEN HARBOR.

The magnificent harbor, to which Aden, Arabia, owes all its ancient splendor and present importance as a military position and center of trade, is eight miles long from east to west, and four broad from north to south. It consists of two positions—an outer and an inner harbor. The former is all that large expanse of water between Little Aden and the western extremity of Aden proper. The inner bay, which is almost landlocked, extends in an easterly direction for about five miles between the coast of Arabia and the northern shore of the peninsula until it reaches the isthmus, which forms its eastern boundary.—Foreign Missionary Journal.
