! land that juts into the sea- and a common, of
| green grass, groves of spruce trees, and a va
riety of wild flowers, with paths that are not
enough worn to require sprinkling, and so are
the perfection of cleanliness. We have the
sea breezes always on the verandas of
the cottages that are scattered through
this pasture. These houses about twen-
ty in number, are not pretentious, but
afford good shelter and comfortable quarters
for the nights but no one has yet put up an
ambitious looking place. Jealousy seems
unknown here. and with one house as good
as another, all feel quite satisfied.
This is cool place and one has the advan-
tagc of using the Spring clothing as it is too
cool to wear musins. Plenty of warm cloth
ing is required and one can take off a little
in the middle of the day if desired. There
are excellent opportunities for sailing, and
rowing, and fishing in boats or from the
wharf-that is, about half mile from the
settlement. The cottages are owned by Maine
people, nearly all residents of Augusta. We
see the salt water all about. Seguin light
shows brightly mt night in the southwest, and
Monhegan light in the east. Bootbay harbor
is seven miles from us, and Squirrel Island,
a pleasant Summer resort, is Il mile away.

years old Food is cheap. Mackcrcl, fresh,
