SULA ISLANDS (Sulla, Xuila; Dutch Soela)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 52 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SULA ISLANDS (Sulla, Xuila; Dutch Soela) , a
chain
  of islands forming a prolongation of the eastern peninsula of
Celebes
  and the Banggai Islands, Dutch
East
  Indies. The three main islands are
long
  and narrow (Taliabu, 68 m.
long
 , Mangoli or Mangala, 63 m. and Besi, 3o m.). The two first lie in line, separated by the narrow Chapalulu Strait; Besi extends at right angles to the
south
 
coast
  of Mangoli. The natives of Taliabu are allied to those of the Banggai Islands and the eastern peninsula of
Celebes
 ; but immigrant Malays are the
principal
  inhabitants. Economically, Besi is the most important
island
 . A Dutch
commissioner
  resides at Sanana, at its northern extremity. It is fertile, and produces wax and honey, and coal has been found.
