FROM Boothbay to Burnt Coal Harbor,
Swans Island. From this port off
Shore Islands, in Frenchmans Bay,
were visited on Duck Island, thous-
ands of sea gullo had just Matched
and were running about the island
learning how to fly, the hocks of
older birds at times fairly darkened
the sky uttering an incessant cry,
while the visitors were on the is
land.
The gulls are now protected by
law and multiply with great rapidity.
Residents of Mt. Desert complain of
the acres of BURBERRY fields secured
| by the gullS.
| During the trip longitude and lati-
tude were obtained every clear day,
by the Sun, with a seXtant and a
chonometer, giving Greenwich time.
On clear days, positions were fixed
with errors of less than a mile.
After the party climbed several of
the Mt. Desert peaks, the Doris sailed
in the fog from n. E. Harbor, Mt.
| Desert, to Bass, Naskeog and Castine.
Pulpit Harbor, which is perhaps the
| most beautiful, on the Maine cost,
made a snug berth in the rain storm,
on Vinal Haven, near Winter Harbor,
dozens of Osprey nests can be seen
in the tree tops. Attempts to in
vestigate their nests are not favor
ably welcomed by the older birds.
Many who try to see their young,
can testify that their claws ana
beaks are sharp. Mr.. Cushnan and
Mr.. Conant, guests Of MIR. Watson
are both experienced sailors and ma
I vagators. The famous creatures
from the galley by Mr.. Conant, varied
from mushrooms with fried limpets
to souffle of mussels and the math-
ematical calculations of Mr.. Cushman
in finding the longitude by the moon,
will be long remembered by all
| hands.

Fl. Wells of New York City, and DR..
II. Neal Of Tufts College, will go
