Nothing is more melancholy than TO see,
sucae thesc merry seaside resorts OF pleas
ure, the grave old defunct corpse. Of former
towns. Right opposite Watch Hill il Ssou- |
ington, once u fonrlshiny whaling port,
where brosd-decked, equarc-bowed ships and
tasks used to depart With harly crews, and
return, after long voyages, laden 10 the brim
with barrels of oil So* it is a Ist1asa, life-
lese town. where people speak soto roce,
whcre dogs do not bark, where everybody has
one hand in his pocket, and where An infrc-
quent buggy creaks dowu tie sandy streets,
aud makes the cocks crow dietu1bedly. In
the midst Of it. but having no sympathy whit,
is large hotel filed with New York
boa1ders, who keep two or three yaclta IN tha
cove back OF tie town, auloug them the
Palmer, which outeailed tho Cambria the other

Tie story of Ward, as Captain Nash told it
to ne, was IL great drama in its way as that
