.HE beautiful coast of Maine
reaches it's climax at Grand
Monon tho ic1oud ~ Yniphtv

THE beautiful coast of Maine
reaches it's climax at Grand
Manan, the island of mighty
cliffs, near the mouth of the St.
Croix river. The magnetic beauty of
the island has stirred the admiration
Of many who have seen it from the
deck of passing steamers, but few per-
sons, comparatively speaking, have
stepped upon it's rocky shores.
Because the agents of the British
and American governments when lay
ing out the boundary line between
Maine and Canada Rugged the west
coast of the mouth of the St. Croix
during thick fog, both Campobello
and Grand Manan islands are today
under the Jurisdiction of Canada.
The island of Grand Manan is 20
miles out from the mouth of the St..
Croix river.
To the west and north the Maine
and New Brunswick shores stretch
away into purple indistinctness, while
on a clear day the faint line of the
Nova Scotia shore is visible 40 miles
to the eastward.
The island was doubtless known to
the French and English fishermen of
the sixteenth century, but it was not
until Champlain wrote tho story of his
voyage, 1604-1605, that any authentic
record was available.
"Manan," or "Menan," is Passama-
quoddy for island, the word being
found farther down the coast in the
name of Petit (small) Manan, and the
rock islet Manana close to Monhegan.
Tradition says that pirates made the
island of Grand Manan rendezvous
before Champlain anchored under its
basaltic cliffs, and within the memory

ties have been known to dig and delve
on Long island Zone of the small is
lands of the group, and at Money
Cove, for the alleged buried treasure
of these buccaneers.
Tremendous Wall of Rock.
One traveller has recently said that
although the cliffs of Newfoundland
and the Labrador are higher, they fall
short in impressiveness of certain
parts of Grand Manan.
Twenty miles from north to south,
varying from four to eight miles from
east to west, it's whole western coast
presents seemingly unbroken wall OF
rock, varied in spots by touches OF
green, where the hardy fir and spruce
have gained a precarious foothold, yet
with the summit rich with evergreen
growth, a rare scene of mingled grim
ness and beauty.
But as one approaches the northern
extremity from the west, headiand
after headland looms in turn from
what before appeared impenetrable
cliff, like succession OF crOuchlng
monsters held in leash.
A portion Of the eastern side is also
rocky, ragged and rugged, but the
greater part Of the coastline on this
side is in decided contrast with that
Of the western side.
Here are located the villages, five in
number, North Head, Castalia, Wood
wards Cove, Grand Harbor and Seal
Cove.
Scattered along the eastern shore
are numerous small islands, each
with a name of it's own, Nantucket,
Long island, Ross island, Cheynes is
land. High Duck, Low Duck and 9TH
ers. The principal one of these is
lands is White Head, containing fish
Ing population sufficient to warrant
church, school and post office.
For two hours before and after lew
water it is possible to walk or drive
ecross the bar connecting White Head
with the main island. For the remain
irg 16 hours out of each "a the inhabi-
taats are shut off from communica-
ton with the main island except by
boat-save for the telephone cable re-
Gently laid.
Wreckase-strewn squalIy Point.
As the visitor to Grand Maran
rounds the northern end of the island,
,n the deck of the steamer which runs
from the mainland, he will be greeted
with a salute from the foghorn at Long
Eddy point, "The WHISTLE as it is
known to the people of the island.
Just beyond the Whistle Squally
point looms up above the rock, wreck
age strewn about its foot, sharp as the
Prov of cruiser, towering its hun
ireds of feet into the air, its red walls

seeming a sentinel standing constant
guard over the waters that swirl
around it's base. 1.-THE Bishop" next
comes into view, detached rock at
the base of cliff, In which some have
fancied q resemblance to the high
church dignitary in his robes of Of
fee.
Just beyond the Bishop rises Ash
burton head, the scene of two ira
gedies of the sea.
Beyond Ashburton head is a remark
able stratified rock formation, called
in the earlier days the House cliffs,
from the resemblance to masonry, but
now more generally known as the
Seven Days Work. The strata stands
out with wonderful distinctness, the
cliff running perpendicularly 200 feet
into the air and stretching along the
coast for a mile and a half or more,
while the presence of iron and copper
ores gives an unusual play OF color
along it's whole surface.
Swallowtail, with it's lighthouse, next
comes into view, the long promontory
of rock taking it's name from its shape
as seen from the higher land where
the rock juts out from the main ts-
land.
In a very few minutes the steamer
is at her dock at North Head. Here
is a very stable settlement, with
churches, schools, stores, post Office,
library and a branch Of the Bank Of
Nova Scotia. While catering to sum-
mer visitors is not business Of su-
preme Importance to the residents Of
the village as q whole, the owners of
some half-dozen or more places have
seen the possibilities of profit, and in
addition to the old hotel, recently
opened, the visitor may find himself

we'll cared for in the smaller cottages
and remodeled homes Of fishermen.
Fishing is the one industry at North
Head, as it is at all the other villages
of the island Here the hake, paddock,
cod and pollock form the greater part
Of the catches, while farther down the
island the catching and smoking OF
herring are the leading industries. The
larger fish are caught, for the most
part, by trawling, while the herring
are seined from the weirs.
In the winter lobstering takes It's
place as the most important industry.
Records of Many Disasters.
Cannot rock, with it's powerful light
house, lifts it's head to the southwark,
and the chronicles of the rock with
it's neighboring lodges are records of
disaster, from the wreck OF the first
brig that went to pieces in 1859 to the
total loss of powerful steamships, like
the Earl of Warwick in recent years.
The light was first kindled on Christ
mas eve, 1881.
1t is at Southern Head that the eli
max Of the grandeur of Grand Manan's
cliffs is to be found. Headland after
headland, cliff after cliff, juts out, their
heads towering 400 feet into the air,
for the greater part Of their extent
absolutely insurmountable except by
the aid of a cable fastened on one OF
the cliffs years ago, by whose aid the
more daring are able to make the as
cent.
The red basaltic cliffs glowing in tho
sunshine, with patch of green here
and there, where some bit Of earth has
given root to grass or shrub, makes
sight of combined beauty and majesty
hardly equaled on the whole Atlantic
coast.
At the southern extremity of the
island is peculiar formation, marked
on the marine charts as Pinnacle rock,
but known to the fishermen as the Old
Maid and to the visitors as the South
ern Cross. Rising rs feet above the
water, when viewed from certain
points, it shows symmetrical cross,
so perfect that it is difficult to believe
that it has not been formed by artifi-
cial means.
AS one sails past the rocks and
looks back on it he understands the
source of the fishermen's name, fer it
takes the outline of hunchbafked
woman.
Grand Msnan ~ not a summer re-
sort in the sense of being crowded
with seekers after the pleasures Of So
ciety. Dances, tens, musicals, form no
part of the life of the summer visitor
to this island of the sea. A hundred

the term is used against what
Iagitators of a sort term the mar
rowmindedness of the conventions
which govern the relations Of the
sexes in nearly all civilized countries;
conventions differing in detail, but
based in common upon the require
,ment of chastity in women and liking
for failure to meet that requirement
sundry social penalties. There was no
word in the Hawaiian language for
chastity. Children bore the names OF
their mothers because that method OF
naming them was the only practical
one where the question Of paternity
was so frequently unanswerable.
! "The habits of the people were ex-

Sof things was greatly altered. by the

How greatly the state of things was
altered is indicated by figures less
hopeful than the reports of the mis-
sionaries. A-half million light-hearted,
