Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for HELENS (ST.)

HELENS (ST.), one of the Scilly Islands; immediately N of Tresco. It is stocked with deer and goats; and has only one building, the Pest House, which is seldom occupied. Its rocks are interesting; and a deep long chasm, continually reverberating with the dash of the billows, is on its N side.
