Gated at the end OF the neck, directly
on the ocean. Already Mr.. Whitman
has struck up an acquaintance with
Capt. Chauncey Kenyon, keeper OF the
station.
The house was built by f. Walter
listed about five years ago and sold
10 Mr.. Whitman through former Com
modore Arthur Curtiss James. whose
palatlal summer home towers on a
nearby hill When Commodore James
heard that the property was for sale
he advised Mr. Whitman 10 purchase
the place, which he considered a bar
gain. The house is constructed almost
entirely OF cobblestones.
Mr.. Whitman's new summer home is
almost Ave miles from the town by the
western ocean drive and about six miles
by the Bellevue avenue route. 1t is In
a rugged and rocky country where
sweet fern and wild roses abound in
July and where II is very bleak in the
winter. Near by Is the famous Graves
Point fishing lodge, where for years the
late J. i. Morgan sought recreation in
fishing for sea bass.
Almost directly offshore from Mr..
Whitman's dwelling Is the Brenton's
Reef lightship, which marks the en-
trance to Narragansett Bay and from
which so many historic yacht races
have been started. He can sit on his
front porch and watch the racing
yachts almost as easily as II he was
sailing about near the lightship. In
clear weather he can see Point Judith
and Block Island with the naked eye.
beautiful lawn and border of pink
rambler roses have been laid down I'M
der the supervision OF Mrs. Whitman.
The color scheme of the big living
room on the ground floor is pink. The
huge fireplace in the living room is
built of large rough stones.
The premises are sometimes presided
over by Boston bull terrier which has
been named Boss. The name APP
parently has no relation TO the political
prowess or aspirations OF his owner.
THE baby named him that" explains
Mr.. Whitman, the nearest he could
come TO Boston terrier"
Mr. Whitman's favorite pastime when
on vacation at Prices Neck is to walk
down TO the life saving station. Here
he talks politics with Capt Kenyon and
watches the latter's black dog Sailor
and the seventeen cats at the station
having fun with Boss.
