from Boston to Nantucket Beach. The ride
down is a very interesting one, because OF the
many points of historical interest near which
We pass. On the right We first pass Castle
Island, upon which are the frowning guns OF
Fort Independence. This was the first
island hat was fortified, and its guns fur

upon n srmi-circular peninsula, jutting north
