NEW YoRRs HARBoR.
The Great Upper Bay Which Lies JUST
Above the Narrows.


Above the Narrows.
New York harbor is divided by
the Narrows, that channel passage
between Staten Island and Brook
lyn, into two bays, the upper and
lower, much like huge dumbbell,
save that the lower bay is the
larger, extending south from quar-
antine to Sandy Hook, west to Rar-
itan bay and merging eastward with
the open Atlantic. The great vol
ume of the Hudson, pouring past
Manhattan Island, through the up
per bay and the Narrows, deposits
its load of soil in this lower bay,
where red buoys mark the difficult
channel and the larger liners some
times go aground in the fog. 1t is
seventeen miles as the crow flies
from the New York city hall to
Sandy Hook light. 1t is only six
miles to st. George, Staten Island,
which marks the head of the Mar
rows.
The upper bay, or the harbor
proper, is thus far removed from
the open sea. 1t is almost lake,
some five miles on either diameter,
made by the confluence of the Hud-
son and East rivers. Within its
area and in the rivers on either side
of that long, narrow strip of divid-
ing rock called Manhattan Island,
half the water commerce of a con-
tinent is conducted, and over it on
ferryboats or under it in steel and
concrete tubes daily pass so many
thousands of people that the head
is dizzy reckoning their number.
At the head of it rises that An
dean range of skyscrapers on the
southern nose of Manhattan, mans
mightiest material accomplishment
since the pyramids. Over it drifts
the smoke from a myriad chimneys
on the shore, myriad tunnels on
the water. Yet the sea fog works
up through the Narrows with the
smell of brine; a coast schooner
beats in under dirty canvas, with q
broken wing, perhaps, from some
wild gale off Hatteras; the brilliant
sun flashes from a gull's breast and
the steel gray, dancing waves-and
the call of the deep comes over you.
Your eye and your heart follow
that steamer dropping down chan
mel with the tide. You feel, as the
wash of the liner gently jiggles your
ferryboat, the heave and swing Of
the long Atlantic rollers.-Walter
