Dear Mr.. Editor:
few days ago l made q visit to Great
Duck Island where were built last year
lighthouse and steam whistle for fog
signal. l found my visit one of special in
terest to myself and thought brief &C
count of it might be of interest to the
many readers of the AMERICAN. The Is
land ia about six miles out to sea from
Southwest Harbor 10 the direction Of Mt.
Desert Rock. Our government has done
much to protect the sailors who go along
our rocky coast, but none too much. With
out these lights and signals many good
ship must be wrecked, and as 1t Is often
times there are serious wrecks. As l went
about the island found here and there
many pieces of wrecked vessels that had
been cast up by the sea. l was taken out
to the island by young man who goes
there lobster fishing. The day was quite
rough and the sea was more so. and my
breakfast was In commotion, so decided
to give it to the fish, but with hook and
line succeeded in catching fish, so
thought my gain was greater than my loss
The storm increased so we remained at
the island for the night, and we found the
| people most hospitable. The force there
consists of the keeper. Mr.. VIM. F. Stan
ley. LIST asst. Mr.. Willis Deliver, 2d asst.
Mr.. John b. Thurston. Each has fam
lily aud a. the government has built three
excellent dwelling houses they make quite
| colony. They are the only inhabitants
except a Swede who lives in a camp on
the northwest shore and spends his time
| dshing. Little Duck Island is small
island to the north and this is still more
solitary, and has solitary inhabitant.
About year ago negro came to this is
| land and lives there alone. subsisting up
on what he can get and refuses to leave.
The light at Duck Island is revolving
light with six faces giving red fash. This
was first lighted the last night in Decem-
Der last, In building adjoining are two
steam boilers so arranged that steam can
soon be generated. and As soon as the fog
sets in this is started and the steam whistle
gives three strong blasts each minute
| which can be heard for many miles around.
Thus the unfortunate mariner who may
he caught in fog or dense snow storm
has signal given him, guiding him on his
way when the light cannot be seen, and
warning him Of the treacherous rocks that
are near. year ago last March vesse
went on to the rocks on Little Duck Is
land in binding snow storm and was {
total wreck. Had this signal been Their,
then she would have been saved.
In the evening that | spent at the islanC
We sill met at Mr.. Thurston's and spent
very pleasant hour in conversation ant
singing from gospel hymns. At its clos,
we read from the good book and offered
PRAYER to Him who holds the sea IN tn,

The English are very much opposed to
trade reciprocity between the United States
and the South and Central American
nations because 1t promises to deprive the
English of very profitable trade which
they have had for some time, and perhaps
that is the reason why the Mugwump
papers, which are always ready to stand
up for what will benefit England, are try
ing to throw cold water on reciprocity
agreements. But if we mistake not a
great majority of the people of this country
want the interests of America looked out
for first of all, and that's the idea that the
Republican party has always believed in.
