of9Rockaway; while from another portion may DC
seen The Bay OF New-Hork spreading Itself far ana
wide beyond the City of Brooklyn. AT the same time

from New-York thus affordng of the most extern
siye panoramic views that can be conceived along the
who[ line of drive AZ least from ten 10 fifteen miles,
