REMARKABLE ROCK.


the middle Of the great inland sea. Lake Superior

Trappe rock has very lately been dscovefed, rising
in the lake from $50 to 200 miles from land, and
ascending above the surface Of the water, dis

extraordinary Is that it stands alone, and all around

on the Lake. and the point Of the rock itself does not
exceed an area Of more than six or seven feet
square, and as far observations Of il have extend

mote and dangerous to admit Of light, and there

importance, and will doubtless pertain to the duty

attended constantly by vessel Of sufficient size to
resist any sudden storm on the lake, it would also
have to be kept constantly under way, as no harbor
