A Profane Point.


There is point on the Piscataqua river,
which separates Maine from New Hamp-
shire, about mile from Kittery and the
navy yard and about two miles from
where the broad harbor opens wide to the
ocean at which the stream suddenly mar
rows.
A rocky point juts out into the swift
waters and makes q powerful current,
and lumber laden sloops and barges and
schooners take no chances in being towed
up and down past this dangerous point,
bristling with rocks.
But smart yachts and men-of-war take
their chances Of getting up alone. In the
days of sailing frigates and ships Of the
line 1T was a ticklish business to take a
great ship, drawing ~ or 20 or "a feet Of
water, past this treaoherous spot. II the
yards did not fly around at exactly the
right moment, the ship would take the
ground or the rocks, whichever was the
nearest danger. Lewiston journal
