completely lost her former prosperity.
One who wanders about her silent and
empty streets can impossibly realize
that this shrunken and depopulated
city was once one of the wealthiest aud
most important In Holland.
Enkhuizen dates from the ninth cen
tury or even earlier. In the zenith OF
its greatness, the seventeenth century.
it possessed 10000 inhabitants and a

the herring trade. Enkhuizen sailors
were we'll. known for theiricOuraHe and
seafaring ability.
But less than hundred years later
the harbor Of Enkhuizen was sitting
up, and her commerce had already de-
clined. Since then whole streets have
been pulled down, as the population
diminished. for only few thousand
inhabitants remain. But the ancient
gate. the Dromedaris. that guards its
now empty harbor still stands. monu-
ment Of the past greatness Of Enkhui.
