Note the lack of roof. <i>Right (5)</i>, Harbour-street from King-street. </p> <p><b>Third row:</b> <i>Left (7)</i>, Ruins from McDonald's Wharf, King-street. <i>Centre (6)</i>, Portuguese Synagogue, from Princess-street. Take a close look, especially at the left side, near the burned tree: The whole back of it is destroyed. <i>Right (8)</i>, Water-lane, from King-street. The sign on the left building advertises Christmas Cards and Toys, in the somewhat blunt Victorian fashion. </p> <p><b>Bottom Row:</b> <i>Left (9)</i>, Princess-street, from Port Royal-street, looking north. Note the sky visible through the windows. <i>Right (10)</i>, Peter-lane, from Town-street. </p>
