Agadir (Agadir Ighir), the Santa Cruz Mayor or SantaCruz de Berberia of the Spaniards, formerly known as the Gate of the Sudan. It is a little town with white battlements three-quarters of a mile in circumference, on a steep eminence 600 it. high. In the 16th century it was seized by the Portuguese; but in 1536 it was captured by Mulai Ahmad, one of the founders of the Saadi dynasty. Some 60 m. farther south, at the mouth of a river known by the same name, is the roadstead of MSssa, with a mosque popularly reputed the scene of Jonahs restoration to terra firma. This porti was regularly visited by the Genoese traders in the 16th century, who exported skins, gum, wax, gold and indigo. Another 50 m. farther south lies Ilni, a landing-place easily recognizable by the shrine of Sidi Worzek Ifni, on old maps Gueder, has some evidence to show that it was possibly the true site of the ancient fort. ,1890s HISTORICAL RELIEF MAP CHART SHOWING TERRAIN, TOPOGRAPHY, ENVIRONS,
