Recognizing the fact that the space afforded in this book will not permit a liberal description of the summer resorts reached by the Inter- national Steamship Company and its connections, the writer has endeav- ored to portray the route from its western to eastern limit, giving the attractions of the water-journey together with an abridged pen-picture of the scenes encountered by the voyager in eastern seas, from the port of Boston to and beyond the United States boundary. This, then, is presented with the hope that whatever is lacking of interest and beauty may be discovered by the tourist in person, and that the daylight ocean voyage may not be forgotten in planning the holiday trip.

" There is a society where none intrude, By the deep sea; and music in its roar." A N OCEAN VOYAGE in connection with my summer's outing? Yes ! An ocean voyage, in palatial steamers, thoroughly staunch and of sea-going qualities as complete as are their fine appointments and cuisine. But first tell me whither will your fancy lead ? Shall it be to the east- ward, to the numerous health and pleasure resorts along the coast or in the interior of the State of Maine ; or farther still beyond the Interna- tional boundary, where lies a vast country under British dominion, full of beauty and crowned with a wealth of interest, replete with the blended romance, story and tradition connected with the earliest settlement of the North American continent? A country which gave refuge to the early voyagers from Europe, at a time when the Pilgrim Fathers of the Old Colony were in leading strings, and now through two centuries presents its peculiar manners, customs and civilization as an auxiliary charm to the summer tourist from " The States," giving him a taste of Europe only to be found this side the Atlantic ; in this quaint Old North-East, this country under the shadow 6 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. of the Crown, this " Land of Evangehne " and the British Red-coat. Novehy adds to the pleasures of the outing, for 'Tis bv novelty enjoyment lives. Therefore, in planning the itinerary for your summer tour, ye pilgrims from the heat and dust of cities, bear in mind the water routes offered by the International Steamship Company, and follow its pathways through Maine-coast waves to the eastern country, or make one of its terminals the gateway for reaching your chosen goal. The best part of going to sea is keeping near the shore, which presents an ever-changing panorama to the view\ This is one of the charms of the International Line. Its steamers, running within sight of the coast line, introduce its patrons to the many interesting points along shore ; a sort of voyage of discovery which includes city, town, village and countrj' ; the physical features, capes, bays and promontories, rugged barriers of the sea, and last, but not least, the tall beacons which light the shoals and harbors. There is nothing which inspires the mind of man like the lighthouse, which, crowning the rocky headlands along shores, flash their warnings one to another and far to sea, thus by their peculiarity of light forming a sort of flash and darkness system of telegraphy, which tells the sailor not only of the approach to land, but his position also. " I lit the lamps in the lighthouse tower, For the sun dropped down and the day was dead ; They shone like a golden clustered flower — Two golden and five red." John Quincy Adams says, he never saw these coast-lights in the evening without recalling to mind the light Columbus saw flashing from shore the night he discovered the New World. If there is inspiration to be drawn from them it must occur in the passage of the International Steamers on the ocean-voyage from Boston Light to Quoddy Head, and farther within the Bay of Fundy, with the lights along the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay, Cape Ann, Thatcher's Island, Isle of Shoals, Boon Island, Cape Elizabeth, Portland Head, Half-Way Rock, Seguin, Monhegan, Pemaquid Point, and a host of others intervening. In connection with its steamship lines this company has established a complete system of tourist routes and rates (see pages 90-95), covering all rail and steamboat lines necessary for reaching the summer-resorts of Maine, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, as well as those within the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. SEA COAST RESORTS. J Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton, while the new and growing popular resort of Cutler (Maine), Famous Grand Manan, the charming Passamaquoddy Bay, resting retreats of Campobello Island and St. Andrews-by-the-sea, are reached best by its own line, which continuing on to St. John (New Brunswick), and by connecting steamer across the Bay of Fundy to the quaint towns of Digby and Annapolis (Nova Scotia), in the " Annapolis Basin," finds there the gateway through which the traveller reaches all Provincial points. The Company, founded in i860, has at the present time in com- mission three of the finest steamers in eastern waters, — the "State of Maine," "Cumberland," and the " New Brunswick." The two former are Bath-built side-wheel craft of 1,600 tons burden, constructed during the years 1882 and 1885 respectively, by the ship-building company, modern in every particular, and rival the floating palaces of Long Island Sound. No expense is spared by the liberal management of the line in keeping its steamers up to a high standard of excellency. The metiu and table service is unsurpassed. poUTLflMD rit-no l^Lci "finoiL^ CH/^PTER'<5ECON0'i? THE ST. JOHN ROUTE IN DETAIL SIGHTS ALONG THE COAST FROM BOSTON TO PORTLAND THE ISLES OF SHOALS, OLD ORCHARD BEACH, ETC. "DOSTON is the grand focal point to which converging lines from All -*-^ America concentrate the throng of eastern tourist travel, each season growing larger as the manifold attractions which the country holds are advertised, and advertise themselves, as no pen can, to the health- seeking, pleasure-seeking summer visitor. There are rail routes and water routes for again distributing this throng, but only one line, the International Steamship Company, offers the attraction of a " thro'-by-daylight " sail via Portland. This is a distinctive feature. Then, too, the sea voyage has ever been the panacea for human ills of the brain-wearied, ennuicd order, so we will fancy the tourist — for the outing is to be a search for combined health and pleasure — embarked upon one of the good ships of the line, for the voyage. Eastward, Ho ! The route skirts the coast for a great part of the distance, so there is little fear of nial-de-mer. All in good time the steamer bears away, at an hour when the harbor scene is brightest, and the points of interest are clearly in view, past Fort Independence, with Deer Island, on which are the city institutions of charity and the house of correction, and the main land of Winthrop upon the left. The seventy-five islands and islets which exist within the encir- cling arms of the three — Dorchester, Quincy and Hingham bays, which constitute the harbor of "The Hub" — are clustered in the seaward landscape. Looking toward the city the united Charles and Mystic rivers are seen entering the sea, dividing East Boston from the city proper ; while in line with the former rises Bunker Hill Monument above the heights of Charlestovvn. From the city of Boston to the final point of egress from its harbor, the outlet of the main ship channel, the distance is about seven miles. The passage is filled with interest throughout. After leaving the harbor the ship's course is shaped along the north shore of Massachusetts Bay, with the tall white beacons, discernible from the decks, standing singly SEA COAST RESORTS. 9 and in doubles so plentifully along this coast, where at night their signal fires blaze far across the waters like fallen stars from Heaven, guiding the sailor to the hospitable harbors of Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Gloucester, and a hundred lesser ports, a succession of attractive sea- coast cities and towns, loaded with interest, song and story. " You may ride in an hour or two if you will, From Halibut Point to Beacon Hill, With the sea beside you all the way. Through pleasant places that skirt the Bay ; By Gloucester Harbor and Beverly Beach, Salem's old steeples, Nahant's long reach, Blue-bordered Swampscott, and Chelsea's wide Marshes, laid bare to the drenching tide. With a glimpse of Saugus spire in the west. And Maiden hills in their dreamy rest." Halibut Point is the extreme northern point on Cape Ann, Cape Ann the extreme limit of Massachusetts Bay, Beacon Hill the acme of the exclusive exclusiveness of the city of Boston. The above lines from the pen of Lucy Larcom fitly describe the route of the steamer from the wharves of Boston to the limit of Cape Ann, for as straight as the chart directs, the course of the steamer has been for Thatcher's Island, lying off the eastern point of the cape, midway between the ports of Gloucester and Rockport, and proudly bearing the cape lights. At the entrance to the harbor of Gloucester, where is now a summer settlement bearing the name Magnolia, lies the luckless reef of Norman's Woe, famous as the scene of Longfellow's poem, "Wreck of the Hes- perus." Leaving Thatcher's Island the steamer heads direct for its next objective point, the harbor lights of Portland, Maine. Now the curving coast line of New Hampshire and of Maine permits the ocean voyage ; and between the two points, for a few hours only, the steamer passes "out of sight of land." The cruise outside between Cape Ann and Portland is varied by the approach and passage of the Isles of Shoals, with their color of romance. These islands, a half dozen in number, lie in two States, their position directly off the mouth of the Piscataqua River, which forms the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine, and about nine miles from the coast ; from their position there arose a question of jurisdiction, growing out of a most atrocious murder committed on Smutty Nose during the year 1873. The murderer was finally tried in the Maine courts, and suffered for his crime at Thomaston, the site of the Maine State Prison. Other startling crimes lO INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. have colored the history of the Isles of Shoals. No section of country could contribute a larger or more thrilling volume in the records of piracy in the New World than these islands. It is certain tliat in the olden time they formed the rendezvous of such noted buccaneers as Kidd, Dixey Bull and Blackbeard. This was a desirable place to refit or repair ships. Troublesome questions and questionable appearances were avoided, as the pirate craft lay sheltered in the roads between these high headlands, while their crews found shelter amid the rocky fortresses ashore. To relate the tales of wreck and ruin wrought by the pirate kings who have cruised to the Isles of Shoals to bury their ill-gotten treasure among the rocks, or the recital of the fearful sights and sounds which have met those whose hardihood permitted the search for the hidden wealth, would fill a \'olume and satisfy the most hungry sensationalist of the times. Star Island, one of New Hampshire's possessions, bears a monument erected in 1864 to the memory of Captain John Smith of early colonial fame, and White Island bears the warning light of the Shoals. Boon Island, a lonely, desolate rock with a tall beacon, lies some distance east of the Isles of Shoals, directly off the coast of Maine, some twelve miles distant from the historic town of York. As we pass it to-day one can scarcely credit the story of the wreck of the Nottingham and the terrible scenes of cannibalism among her crew, who were held prisoners by the waves upon the wild rock during twenty-four days in December, 181 1. Wonder not then at the number of the coast lights which warn the sailors of to-day against a fate so dire. But now a bountiful dinner is being served within the spacious saloon, at which there is always a merry company, and after which there is time for a delightful siesta upon the promenade deck, in easy steamer chairs, where, fanned by the salt breath of the sea, with book on lap, one may lazily pass the time, or curiously study the queer saline types of humanity to be met always in the passage of the Northern New England coast. Engage such a one in conversation, and you are repaid by tales of the coast. He knows every bay and headland from Boston Light to Quoddy Head, and farther east to the "Grand Banks" of Newfoundland, of marvelous catches and prodigious bags of game ; for your old salt is a born gunner, with sea-fowl his lawful prize. A life by the sea begets a spirit of sturdy independence, therefore he is a political economist of no mean order, indeed, the student of human nature can find no better field in which to pursue his studies than on the coast line of New England. Happily he will not be slow to discover the kindly side to the character of these quaint old salts. SEA COAST HESORTS. II Now the ship again approaches the coast and one sees the long Hne of Old Orchard Beach, with its mammoth hotels. Just west of Old Orchard's- broad sweep, as may be plainly seen from the deck, the curving coast extends seaward to Biddeford Pool, at the mouth of the Saco River. Between this point and the "Two Lights" on Cape Elizabeth's shore extend in one continuous line numerous beaches which form the rallying- place for many summer guests. They may be considered environments of Portland, being reached many times daily by a half-hour rail ride from the city, or by carriage ride over delightful shore roads beside the sounding sea. They are, in their order, Old Orchard, Pine Point, Scarborough and Higgins' Beaches, with Prout's Neck, a narrow peninsula, as its name implies, extending far into the bay at a point where the Nonesuch River and its estuary forms the only break in this great stretch of sand. These form a succession of the grandest cooling-off places which Nature has provided for a long-suffering public. To one who delights in the ocean — and who does not? — they conjure up pleasant memories of gradually sloping beach of the whitest sea-sand, washed continually by giant breakers, among which sport a throng of bathers in every non- descript costume known to that gay pastime. Two score hotels, large and small, line the beaches, facing seaward, where orchestras, hops and fashionable doings are the order of the day and night among three thousand guests. It is while the steamer is passing this point that in a clear day the passengers are treated to the fairest view of the distant White Mountains of New Hampshire to be had from any equally distant point. This view from the sea is particularly striking. There are other and nearer elevations which are ofttimes confounded with the White Moun- tains by strangers to this region, but the scene which these everlasting hills here present once seen is never forgotten nor miscalled. Mt. Washington is ninety and odd miles distant in an air line from the city of Portland, yet the whole chain, of which Washington forms the highest and grandest elevation, stands out in individual distinction. They may be seen again at a point after leaving the city, but the view is incomparable to this. After passing Old Orchard the twin beacons of the "Two Lights" upon the Cape Elizabeth shore come into view, then " Portland Head " light marking the entrance to the first harbor entered by the steamer in, the daylight run from Boston. The noble headlands of this shore, bold,, storm-defying, rugged types of Maine's rugged coast, have formed the- 12 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. subject of many a grand marine painting, and given inspiration to artist and poet. " Even at this distance I can see the tides, Upheaving, break unheard along the base ; A speechless wrath that rises and subsides, In the white lip, and tremor of the face. " ' Sail on ! ' it says, ' sail on ' ye stately ships. And with your fleeting bridge the oceans span , Be mine'to guard this light from all eclipse, Be yours to bring man nearer unto man.' " A passing incident in connection with the "Two Lights" may here prove of interest. Just within tlieir shadow, upon the rocks surrounding Broad Cove, Cape Elizabeth, the good ship Bohemian, an iron English mail steamer of the Allan Line, for whom Portland forms the winter port during the close time of the St. Lawrence River by ice, struck and was torn in pieces by the waves one stormy April morning of the year 1862. Many lives were lost upon this the last occasion of disaster to a passenger steamer, attended by loss of life, which has visited the eastern shore. Can many transportation lines, carrying the traffic which offers upon these favorite water routes, show a better record than thirty years without loss of life to its thousands carried yearly ? Pop,TLf\np "CHAPTEIK THIRD — *^ r^^j^^ PORTLAND, MAINE, THE BIRTHPLACE OF LONGFELLOW A PICTURESQUE HARBOR AT SUNDOWN — THROUGH THE CITY ROUTES TO NOTED TOURIST RESORTS. " Often I think of the beautiful town That is seated by the sea ; Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town, And my youth comes back to me." T 'HE entrance to Portland harbor, after passing the hght at Portland Head, is through the broad ship channel with the Cape Shore upon the left, and Cushing's Island forming the right extreme. An extended view of Portland's summer hotels and cottages may be had from this point. The Cape Shore is lined with the summer homes of the city's business men, many of them most imposing subjects of modern, architecture. This shore also bears pleasant hotels, the Cape Cottage and Ocean House for example, many boarding-houses, and the coast defences of the city whose sunset gun speeds the departing day. Upon Cushing's, to the right, rises the broad roof and dome of "The Ottawa," the finest hotel in the harbor, new in 1889, to replace one destroyed the previous season. Beautiful cottages also adorn Cushing's, which is the most exclusive of Casco's isles. Immediately after rounding the point of this island the city bursts upon the view from its commanding position upon the peninsula heights three miles distant. The view from seaward in the approach to the city is incomparable, and is, indeed, the only point of view which shows Portland to advantage. The time of arrival at this point is most opportune for sight-seeing. The sun, yet well up in the heavens directly above the city, behind whose roofs and spires it sinks into the west with most charming cloud effects of ever-varying hue. The harbor scene is most attractive, for the mammoth steamer is now in the path of the many excursion boats plying between the city and its cottage-covered suburban islands. Among them our ship seems colossal, and we are, for the passing moment, the centre of attraction to the gay groups who throng the decks of the smaller craft, which now are dancing. SEA COAST RESORTS. 1$ in the huge swell of our wake. Thousands visit "The Islands" daily, a fleet of ten boats making constant trips ; cottages and club-houses, innumerable almost, shelter the summer population, while the white tents of campers are anchored in every available spot. Steam and sailing craft of every style are met or passed in the ascent of the harbor — a harbor which bears this distinction — let us turn from descriptive to incident, and relate it. This busy harbor formed the theatre of action for the only invasion of a northern port by the enemy during the war of the rebellion ; when the revenue cutter Caleb Gushing was "cut out" from under the guns of the now obsolete fort upon the right, by an armed force, who, at midnight — 1863 — overpowered her crew and succeeded in getting away with the craft, an armed sailing schooner of modest size. No doubt the Gushing would have been turned into a privateer by her captors, had not her absence been discovered at daybreak from the observatory — mark the building, in form like the coast lights we have been passing — which crowns the eastern extremity of the city, and from which all vessels entering the port are signaled. Pursuit was made in two steamers, the Forest Gity and the Ghesapeake. The latter, of the Portland- New York line, was herself afterward captured on the high sea by a band of confederates, who joined the ship in New York as passen- gers, took possession and sailed to an English port. These two steamers pursued the cutter, overtook her becalmed about twenty miles from shore, where the cutting-out party, with the crew as prisoners, abandoned the ship after tiring her magazine, blowing the trim little schooner into fragments. Through the lively phases of the harbor scene the steamer makes its way along the complete water front of the city, with ghmpses of the elm-shaded streets which have won for it the sobriquet of "The Forest City," to its berth at railroad wharf, foot of State Street. It is but a short walk up this broad avenue. State Street, to the street- cars for " down town ; " carriages also are awaiting the arrival. The cars pass all hotels, through the principal thoroughfares of retail trade, Congress and Middle Streets, to the wharves of the island steamers. Ignoring the street-cars yet for a few moments, however, a quarter mile walk through State Street straight from the steamer, one of the handsomest old avenues that the world affords, brings one to State Street Square, which contains a fine bronze statue of the poet Longfellow, the first erected in his honor, save the bust in Westminster Abbey. We shall see much of Longfellow here at his birthplace and early home, and again in the voyage eastward to the country and people he 1 6 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. has immortalized in that American classic, " Evangeline." Taking street-cars in this square a ride of five minutes' duration brings the traveller to the new and palatial Union Passenger Railway Station. This is the gateway to interior Maine, and the White Mountains, via the Maine Central Railroad, whose trains are replete with every convenience of travel, and each season bear a host of summer visitors to the hunting and fishing resorts of Rangeley and Moosehead lakes, and whose Mountain Division reaches the White Mountain resorts through the wonderland of the Crawford Notch. Here it is possible to take a train with Pullman sleepers at eleven o'clock each night of the week, which shall bear the visitor to Bar Harbor and the many fashionable resorts on Mt. Desert Island in season for breakfast next morning. Here also numerous trains depart daily for Poland Spring, with its superb hotel, the eastern Ponce de Leon, as well as for all interior and coast towns of the State of Maine. The "Union" is between the Maine Central and Boston and Maine railroads, who use together this beautiful and commodious station, to the mutual advantage of themselves and patrons. The Boston and Maine trains make frequent trips to the line of beaches which we saw from the steamer just beyond the Cape Shore, for Old Orchard direct, and for Scarboro Beach, Pine Point and Prout's Neck, from Scarboro and Pine Point stations, where carriage conveyance is in waiting for all beach hotels. It is but twelve miles from the city of Portland to Old Orchard Beach, and the train delivers its passengers directly in the midst of one of the liveliest seashore scenes in the world. The beach is but a hundred yards distant, its great combing surf line making itself known at once. The largest hotels upon the coast of Maine are here, and invite a sojourn. Old Orchard ranks with Cape May and Atlantic City in popularity with summer guests. It may be reached on the day of departure from Boston, in season for a six o'clock tea, by the ocean day-line in con- nection with trains at the Portland Union Station. At the farther extremity of the city, reached also by streef-cars, stands the station of the Grand Trunk Railway, whose trains offer another route to Poland Spring, to the Rangeley Region, and to the White Mountains. Altogether Portland offers a variety of routes for reaching the many tourist points within the State, to which the water journey, the daylight sail from Boston, has been the breezy prelude. Founded in 1632, under the Indian title Machigonne, the now city of Portland during the earlier days of setdement was the scene of many a fierce encounter between its hardy pioneers and the red men. After SEA COAST RESORTS. 17 three bloody assaults the settlement finally, in the year 1689, succumbed to these Indian attacks, and those who escaped death by the tomahawk and arrow fled, leaving the deserted ruin of fort and home to bird and wild beast for a period of twenty-five years, when a number of sturdy veterans from the disbanded garrisons along the coast made their homes here, and when the Indians once more came down to pay their compli- ments they found a line of fortified streets and strong guards at every point. The town now bore the name of Falmouth and enjoyed a flourishing commerce with the West Indies, when disaster again visited in the form of Captain Mowatt's British fleet, which sailed into its harbor one bright morning during the Revolutionary period — 1775 — and after a destruc- tive bombardment of eight hours landed a party of red coats who fired all buildings spared by the red-hot shots of the ships. Falmouth again sank in ruins, yet to appear again, and as the reconstructed city of Port- land go through a third fiery ordeal upon the "Glorious 4th," 1866,. when a carelessly thrown fire-cracker started a conflagration, which, burning with fatal steadiness for sixteen hours, destroyed ten millions of property. To-day, with a population approaching forty thousand, and a valua- tion of as many million of dollars, four daily newspapers, half a dozen national banks and thirty odd churches, surrounded by resting retreats of sea and shore, silvery-sanded beach and inland lake, this beautiful city, a carriage drive about which would amply repay a visit, whose large, well-kept hotels hold out a welcome to all, offers attractions to sojourn within its borders, or among its surroundings, which can but fill the time with pleasure. .^^slh^O^^ HflLF WflY RotKi i '"^ 1^ C HAPTELR roOP^TK "C -> "" EASTWARD AGAIN FROM PORTLAND — A CHARMING TWILIGHT RUN ALONG A HISTORIC COAST THE MOUTH OF THE KENNEBEC, MONHEGAN ISLAND, ETC. '~pHE exit of the steamer from Portland harbor is, when the tide will allow, through the famous "White Head Passage," a narrow water- way formed by the approaching shores of Peak's and Cushing's islands. Upon the latter, and so near that, to use a nautical phrase, one could throw a biscuit to the steamer's deck, rises the towering height of White Head, one of the finest examples of the rugged coast of Maine existing. It recalls the lines — And many a homesick tear is shed By wanderers far away, As mem'ry reverts to " Old White Head," And the islands of Casco Bay. Upon the left Peak's Island, so close aboard that the music of its bands in pavilion and summer garden is borne to the steamer's deck, for this is the "Coney Island of the East," is the scene of merry revel. At unfavorable times of tide the passage out is through the ship channel, as we entered, and skirting the seaward shore of these islands. These are the scenes which the inland traveller wots not of, and more follow in succession during the three hours of daylight which remains after leaving the Forest City. Here are some of them : The passage through White Head leads directly to the sea, and the course is shaped just outside the fringe of islands, three hundred and sixty-five of which, by popular fable, are supposed to cluster within the encircling arms of Casco Bay, between the twin hght upon Cape Elizabeth and the mouth of the Kennebec. Unlike the islands in the harbor of Boston, arid, treeless and unadorned, Casco's Isles are forest crowned, with a primeval growth of pines and other northern woods, while, especially in the vicinity of Portland, they are adorned by the hand of man combined with Nature, and bear striking examples of summer architecture. Longfellow calls them — "The islands that were the Hesperides Of all my boyish dreams." 19 20 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. The cruise brings them into view, and with them the long peninsulas. and deep indenting bays of Harpswell, as the steamer plows merrily along. "Half-way Rock" — half-way between Portland and the Kennebec — is passed at this juncture ; its tall light, a perfect Eddystone in its solitude, and its whistling buoy accompaniment in the foreground directly in the path of the steamer, which passes outside. Upon the mainland the shores of Old Falmouth rise to the elevation called Black-Strap Hill, — why Black-Strap tradition sayeth not, — which bears upon its summit: a spindle erected by the United States Coast Survey as a land mark, to aid in their research. Travellers, strangers probably from the " Prairie States," have mistaken this for Mt. Washington. It is safe to assert that none who have made the journey by the ocean day-line from Boston, and witnessed the view from our strategic point, will be likely to confuse this mole-hill of Maine with the monarch of New Hampshire. This will be a good point for reckoning — Item : Bring your field glasses and get the points of the compass fixed like a true sailor. Now, with the whistling buoy in direct line with Half-way Rock, pointing: north, the whole panorama of Casco Bay is explained. Just to the east of north the long peninsula of Harpswell projects far into the sea, island-surrounded upon all sides. To the west the larger islands of Chebeague, Long, The Diamonds, Peak's and Cushing's in succession, surround the harbor of Portland, shutting the city from view. The shores of Falmouth, Cumberland, Yarmouth and Freeport form the horizon. After leaving Half-way Light, Martinicus Rock is the next objective point, in search of which the steamer soon rounds Cape Small Point, to find " Sequin " marking the approach to the mouth of the Kennebec, which noble river, famous world-wide for its ice product, flows from the clear depths of Moosehead Lake, in Northern Maine, until joining the waters of the Androscoggin, second only to itself, and forming the outlet of the Rangeley Lakes; the two from Merry-meeting Bay — suggestive name ! — just above the coast line flow as one to find the sea at this point. Its estuary forms the harbor of Boothbay, whose islands, Mouse and Squirrel, are summer-populated by hundreds of campers, cottagers and boarders. Boothbay Harbor forms the rendezvous of many a yachting party from metropolitan cities to and from eastern points. We have met this white-winged craft, many of them in the voy- age from Boston, for they are ever present in these summer waters, and include the entire ensemble of pleasure craft, from the tiny sloop to> SEA COAST RESORTS. 21 Stately schooners, cup-winners, with the floating palaces of the Bennetts, Goulds and Astors ; for all favor this picturesque coast, each season cruising Eastwartl, Ho ! Leaving Sequin, with its stately light, one of the many beacons of which Whittier says : " F"rom gray sea fog, from icy drift, From peril and from pain ; The home-bound fisher greets thy lights O hundred-harbored Maine !" Monhegan next comes to the front. O for space to pick up some of the many threads of history connected with the steamer's surroundings as she plows along this coast, events dating back prior to the landing of the Pilgrims, for it was Samoset, a chieftain of Monhegan, who, at Ply- mouth, met the Puritans with the English words, " Welcome ! White- men ! " Monhegan is the most famous island on the New England coast ; it appears upon the oldest charts in existence, and to it the earhest voyagers to the Western Continent converged. Champlain sailed the Des Monts expedition to this point in 1604. Weymouth was here in 1607, trading v.'ith the Indians of Pemaquid. Pemaquid, the ancient fortified city, which to this day forms the goal of historian and antiquarian, the Pompeii of the West. These delve in her paved streets and unearth her old fortifications, enthusiastically recalling scenes which have added pages to our early history. Between Monhegan and the mainland of Pemaquid Point was fought that desperately contested sea-fight between the Enterprise and Boxer, familiar to every school-boy of the land. The English brig Boxer had been fitted out with the express purpose of engaging the Enterprise, an American brig of her own class and armament. The Enterprise had seen ser\-ice in the wars with Algiers, and now called home by the War of 181 2, was given a cruising ground along the coast of Maine to keep watch for the enemy's privateers. Decatur had been her commander, Init she was now taken to sea by Lieutenant Burrows, an intrepid seaman, of whom it was believed he would die sooner than surrender. After terrorizing the seacoast villages, and firing a fisherman or two, the Boxer cast anchor Saturday, September 4, 1 8 14, in Pemaquid Bay. On tlie morning of the Sabbath, calm, clear and beautiful as a Sep- tember morning in these seas can be, the lookout from the Boxer descried the Enterprise bearing down from Portland under full sail. In a moment 22 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. all was activity on board the Englishman, who, dropping a few shotS' upon the village and old Fort Frederick by way of compliment, up anchor and away to a point about three miles from shore and then stripped to fighting canvas. The Enterprise coming up noted the invitation, and cleared for action. In expectancy of this event both ships had been prepared by their crews, rubbed down and polished off with as much care as a pugilist receives from his trainers ; so earnest were those of the Boxer, that her colors were nailed to the mast, an act which doubtless cost some lives in the event which followed. The fight lasted forty minutes ; and so closely were the ships engaged that after the first broadsides nothing could be seen of the combatants,, save the flash of the guns through the thick veil of smoke which enveloped all. When the fire slackei*?ed the Enterprise was seen to be the victor. Both commanders were killed outright ; and on the 7th the Enterprise,, with the Boxer in tow, set sail for Portland, where equal honors were bestowed upon the dead. Wrapped each in his country's colors, the dead captains were borne to their final resting place in the ancient cemetery, under the shadow of the observatory which we saw crowning the eastern extremity of the city of Portland as we entered its harbor. The roar of combat was plainly heard through the Sabbath stillness of the Forest City, and Longfellow refers to it thus in his poem, " My Lost Youth " : " I remember the sea-fight far away, How it thundered o'er the tide ! And the dead captains, as they lay In their graves, o'erlooking tlie tranquil bay, Where they together died." Through scenes, the theatre of such events, the steamer makes its way, during the long twilight of summer, and now as the coast lights- beam through the gathering gloom one by one her voyagers " seek the seclusion that the stateroom grants," where, surrounded by the invigor- ating air, blown from the wide salt sea, amid odors such as no landsman knows, they sink to rest, wooed by a quiet broken, yet not disturbed, by the dull, far away throb of the engines and the wash of the waves. There- are no noisy landings, with their accompanying discharge of freight, to- disturb refreshing slumber, which may continue until the Landing at Eastport at 7.30 next morning. PASSAMAQUODDY AND ABOUT THERE EASTPORT AND ITS SURROUNDINGS HOW TO REACH GRAND MANAN, CAMPOBELLO, LUBEC, ETC. A SUMMER CAMP. T TNRUFFLED Passamaquoddy Bay lies sheltered from the sea by a mighty chain of islands, all British territory, for this is the eastern extremity of the United States. Its shores and islands bear numerous summer resorts, which possess enough of individuality to warrant a separate and detailed description. At favorable times of tide, when it " serves," to use a nautical phrase, the route of the International steamers into Passamaquoddy is through "The Narrows," formed by Lubec, a white, wooded town upon the left and the long island of Campobello to the right. The entrance to this channel is past the light at " Quoddy Head," which marks the eastern limit of the United States of America. At other seasons of the tide one must circumnavigate Campobello, and approach the American town of Eastport through British waters. The magnificent sweep of Passamaquoddy Bay must be seen to be thoroughly appreciated. Its encircling shores form a horizon seventy- — .^^ ^- ^'/^f^'^f ,;^ 24 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. five miles in circumference, all of which from some one of its many elevations, as the Chamcook Mountains above St. Andrews, is brought into one view. It forms an arm of the Bay of Fundy, and partakes of its high tides, while its breezy summited islands exclude its fogs. These phenomenal tides rise and fall twice, daily in Passamaquoddy, measuring between thirty and forty feet, while to the eastward they go still higher. The rivers which find the sea within the Bay of Fundy are said to part of the time run up hill, part down, as the tide swells them. There are i^\N islands in the Bay of Passamaquoddy after passing through the outer fringe which shelters its quiet waters. One of these, Minister's Island, which lies off the peninsula of St. Andrews, fitly exemplifies these tides. Between this island and the mainland there exists at the flood an exact half mile of clear water. At the ebb tide one can ride or walk, dry shod, over a bar of shingle connecting the two, twenty feet below the level of the sea at high water. Passamaquoddy is the ideal spot for summer sojourn. Beside the historical interest, blending romance with the beautiful in nature, it has a peculiar charm for health-seekers in its pleasant air. There is no fog, the encircling islands shut out that unwelcome visitor from the sea ; the powerful tides remove all refuse far from shore twice each day, and last, but not least, there is the assurance given by General A. W. Greeley, chief of the United States Signal Service, which has such a bearing on the subject of climatic perfection in this locality that we quote it. In an article in "Scribner's," entitled "Where shall we spend our summers?" after detailing what people are led to expect from reading summer literature descriptive of this and that resort, General Greeley says: '•'There is possibly one place in the United States where such conditions obtain, — a bit of country of about forty square miles at the extreme southwestern part of the United States, in which San Diego is situated ; but even here, perhaps once in two or three years, the sultry blasts from the Mojave Desert pass over the low mountain range and parch this favored district By a singular contrast the second favored spot as to summer weather is the extreme northeastern point of the United States, — Eastport, Maine At Eastport, the prevailing summer winds are from the south, which makes the weather delightful." General Greeley, in the charts which accompany his article, places the mean daily temperature at 68° during the entire heated term. There is another phase of summer weather which is of equal importance with the question of temperature. This is a humidity of atmosphere. Again we quote Gen. Greeley, whose chart shows that the belt denotmg the dryest atmos- phere passes through Passamaquoddy Bay. He says : " It is further of SEA COAST RESONTS. 2$ importance to note that the quantity of vapor per cubic foot decreases as one goes northward, and the absoUite amount of water in the air in New Jersey is fifty per cent greater than in Maine, while the quantity along the Atlantic seacoast from Hatteras south is nearly twice as great. ... A dry summer climate is assumed to be one where the atmosphere contains five and one-half grains or less of aqueous vapor to each cubic foot (our belt has only five grains), and on this basis it is safe to recom- mend the northern half of New England and New York." Gen. Greeley can be considered an impartial writer, having no climatic wares to dispose of. In naming Eastport, he named the extreme Hmit of his country and consequently of his research ; therefore as Eastport, so Passamaquoddy and about there. A PASSAMAQUODDY INCIDENT. Immediately following the California gold fever of 1849, a far-reaching, notable enterprise was inaugurated in Passamaquoddy. In 1850-51 the steamer S. B. Wheeler, a side-wheeled wooden craft, in size and tonnage resembling the " Rose Standish " of the Frontier Steamboat Line, whose steamers now ply the waters of the bay and river St. Croix, was built at Eastport. Up the river St. Croix, at the towns of Calais, Maine, and St. Stephen, New Brunswick, which we shall see later, on opposite banks of the river, was built upon the English side the barque Fanny, with an object in view of curious nature. The hull of this vessel was towed to Eastport, the captain of the ''Cumberland," one of the International fleet, — perchance our very ship — forming one of the crew of the tow. Here she was sunk, after removing the entire stern of the craft, for in her construction this part had been secured by screw bolts for this express purpose, and while submerged the steamer was floated within and secured by ballast and freight tightly packing the entire hold of the barque. Then the Fanny was raised, her stern once more secured, her hold freed from water, her masts stepped, two of them passing directly through the steamer, her rigging and sails supplied, and out of Passama- quoddy she sailed " 'round The Horn " to San Francisco. Arrived there, the same process was carried out for the removal of the steamer, which, reconstructed, sailed for years the Sacramento river, the first river steamer in California waters. No part of the steamer was removed when she was engulfed within the barque, save her funnel and walking-beam. She furnished accom- modations for the passengers taken out in this way, and possibly some forty-niners of the Pacific coast may yet remain of those who made the voyage in this novel manner. SEA COAST RESORTS. 27^ EASTPORT, MAINE. Eastport, prominent upon the school maps as the extreme eastern, settlement under the American flag, prominent in history of old-time boundary disputes, and the home of the American sardine, is situated upon Moose Island, at the entrance of Passamaquoddy Bay, separated by a wooden bridge twelve hundred feet in length from the mainland' town of Perry. It is a town of white wooden buildings, a big hotel flying the x^merican flag, an exceedingly peaceful-looking arsenal, a fort and a United States CoaUng Station. Along its water front the many wharves are occupied by numerous, factories, where minute herring are cooked in salad oil, packed in cans exactly resembling the conventional sardine box, and placed on the- market, a close imitation of the imported article, whose market price they have greatly cheapened. Fourteen of these sardine factories lie- within the radius of a circle drawn one-half mile from the post-office. They simply line the water front. Previous to the fire of 1886 there- were twenty-one factories in Eastport, with an average capacity of twenty hogsheads of uncooked fish per day, representing some 800,000 boxes. Of course, fish in quantities to allow this were not to be had every day^ but during the season, May 15th to December ist, enormous quantities, of the fish are caught in the weirs which surround the inlets to the bay, and cured. Fish that, going in as herring, undergo a metamorphosis, coming out sardines. This is a specialty of the eastern shore, in which. Eastport bears the palm. As is customary in smaller towns, every modern event in Eastport dates from "the fire," a conflagration that, in 1886, swept the larger part of the town into ruins. The effect of the destruction has, on the whole, been beneficial to its appearance, as the new buildings are greatly superior to the old, and an efficient system of water-works has since been intro- duced, while a Government building, — custom house, — for which Con- gress has appropriated $100,000, is in course of erection. This town forms the principal trade centre of the frontier. "The Quoddy " is its. leading hotel. Here the International Steamship Company has made special pro- visions for traffic and travel, in its large depot built since the fire. At' this point its steamers land, and by connecting water routes by other- boats of lighter draught, the traveller is carried to the resorts in Passama- quoddy and its environs, to Campobello and famous Grand Manan, to- St. Andrews, and the towns of the St. Croix River. The Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians from their home, a reservation upon Pleasant Point just: ■28 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. above Eastport, add a picturesque element to the life of the town. Their bark canoes still ply the waters of the bay in their periodical visits to the several summer resorts. They may, with profit to themselves and the sportsman, serve as guides in canoeing, hunting, and fishing excursions in the vicinity, from their aboriginal knowledge of woodcraft and the famous lurking places of fish and game. NORTH LUBEC. Adjoining Eastport, reached by steam ferry across the harbor, lies the town of Lubec, approaching Campobello, and reaching northward in a series of long peninsulas, characteristic of this rugged eastern shore. It is upon one of these sea-girt necks of land, all surrounded by Cobs- cook Bay, and near neighbor to the famous resorts of Passamaquoddy, that the site for the permanent summer encampment of the Young Men's Christian Association has been chosen. Two years ago, a committee was selected by the New England Associ- ation to search out and report upon an advantageous site. North Lubec was chosen, and unanimously endorsed by the annual convention. The initial encampment was held August loth to 25th, 1889. It was a complete success. Without exception all were pleased with the selec- tion, and the continuance of the encampment at North Lubec was assured. Leading Association men have since purchased a large tract of land for the purpose of developing the encampment. A large hotel has been erected, in which ample accommodations for visitors are provided. Bowling alleys, tennis courts and base-ball field afford opportunities for amusement and exercise. Thus, amid the health-giving breezes from the sea, this association has a rallying-place, after the plan of the Maine Chautauquans upon another border, that between Maine and New Hampshire, at Fryeburg. CUTLER, MAINE. It is only of late that Cutler Harbor has come to the front as a sum- mer resort, from its secluded position on the coast of Maine. It lies midway between Mt. Desert and Passamaquoddy in a sheltered bay, which has proved so attractive that a syndicate of gentlemen have pur- chased the lands about its shores, built a modern summer hotel upon improved sanitary conditions, and laid out their lands into sites for numerous mansions, cottages and tastefully planned parks.

Prominent among these are the Natural Bridge, Cross Island, the Norse Wall and Lake, the foot-prints on the rocks, caves, lakes, streams and water-falls, the liglithouse and life-saving station, the mineral springs and meadow views. It offers all the attractions of the secluded coast resort, " far from the madding crowd," its little gem of a harbor receiving many white-winged yachts during the season which bring hither many summer guests. PEMBROKE, PERRY, DENNVSVILLE AND ROBBINSTON. Upon the western shore of Passamaquoddy, above Lubec, lies the town of Perry, containing Pleasant Point, a village of the Passamaquoddy tribe of Indians. Pembroke adjoins Perry upon the west, and Rob- binston lies just above upon the St. Croix. These are all coast towns bordering the bay and river, with a multiplicity of projecting peninsulas and encroaching bays, affording fine salt-water, fishing, while their forests abound with game. CAMPOBELLO. This Elysium of the summer tourist is his first resort " over the bor- der," in reaching which, from Eastport, one and one-half miles by steam ferry, he crosses that imaginary line, the International boundary. The island is picturesque with coves and cliffs, winding roads and woods, a series of delightful surprises to the uninitiated. One may remain out of doors the entire day without sense of fatigue or heat, so clear, bracing and cool is the sea atmosphere. Fog never remains the entire day, and during the last five seasons there has been not more than three days each summer month in which it was impossible to walk or drive, while the beauty of the landscape is wonderfully increased by the shutting, down and lifting of the mists. "A wind came up cut of the sea, And said, O mists, make room for me !" Campobello and Deer islands are the larger of the islands which shut out the sea from Passamaquoddy. Campobello has been chosen before its mates as an island summer resort from its beauty and grandeur of situation. Upon its shores begins the wild scenery of the Bay of Fundy, a name sonorous as its waves, which wash the beetling cliffs upon the outer shore of Campobello. The fine model hotel, Ty'n-y-coed, is happily situated upon one of these cliffs, seventy-five feet above the level of the sea, and near the water's edge. It is provided with all the comforts of a refined j-fei|l^..^w»^.:^lia||^j ..■.->. ..-■.v„^««&.,..^.>,y:m,. ^ SEA COAST RESORTS. 31 home, and is beautifully furnished throughout. Its seavv'ard view embraces a wide sweep of ocean, broken only by the purple cliffs of Grand Manan ; shoreward the hill\' towns of Eastport and Lubec are in the view, which also holds the Denny's River and the famous St. Croix with varied vistas of Passamaquoddy reaches through forest-crowned islands that intercept it. Campobello partakes with Eastport in the history of old-time boundary disputes, and British occupancy of all the islands in the bay during the four years, 1814-1S, that all remained under martial law. The English claimed that all belonged to Great Britain, as much so, to quote one of their commissioners, as Northamptonshire, an inland county of England. It had been a muddle since the treaty of 17S3, at the close of the Revolutionary war — a muddle which required thirty-five years of diplo- matic squabbling to clear. Finally, under an article of the treaty of Ghent, concluded December 24, 18 14, two commissioners were appointed to settle the vexed question of ownership ; their final report states " that Moose Island, Dudley Island, and Frederick Island, in the Bay of Passamaquoddy, do belong to the United States, and that all the other islands in the bay and the island of Grand Manan, in the Bay of Fundy, belong to His Britannic Majesty." Thus the Union Jack floats over Campobello with its merry suminer company, and that storm-defying ocean monarch. Grand Manan. GRAND MANAN. This noble island, "a paradise of sea-girt cliffs," as some writer has termed it, lies in the very entrance to the Bay of Fundy, nine miles from the American shore and eighteen miles from Eastport, where steamers may be taken for reaching it, by easy sail of two hours. For a long time Grand Manan has been a favorite resort for marine -artists and others interested in grand cliff and shore scenery. The highest and most precipitous cliffs are at the southern extremity of the island. Here they rise to a height of from three to four hundred feet above the sea, which breaks at their feet with sullen roar and spray dashed high against the mighty barrier, dislodging myriads of sea-fowl, which wing their screaming flight below. It is a scene which reminds one of the tales of the Norwegian coast, or what might be expected in Icelandic waters or among the Hebrides. The western shore extends in a series of these cliffs twenty miles, with no accessible entrance from the sea ; but on the eastern shore are several villages lying within pleasant coves ; smaller islands lie scattered in the -sea off shore upon this side. 32 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Near the northern head, called Bishop's Head, from a rocky figure rising boldly out of the sea off shore, and named " The Bishop," are two hotels and some private boarding-houses. In this neighborhood is Swallow-tail Head, upon which the lighthouse stands, surrounded by cliffs deeply scarred by the action of the waves. Whale Cove opens delightful features ; around it tower gigantic cliffs displaying a variety of formations, at one place brilliant with varied hues, and in another regular strata are piled up in consecutive layers, commonly called the " Seven Days' Work." The beaches at the foot of the cliffs show gay-colored pebbles. It is a land of wonderment, and presents, especially during and follow- ing a storm, marine views unsurpassed in their grandeur. There are good facilities for fishing and shooting. The roads of the island are excellent ; good horses for driving can be had at moderate prices, and the same may be said of boats and boatmen. It is a land which should be visited by all lovers of the sublime in Nature, and may be taken in as a side trip with the other Passama- quoddy resorts in the ocean voyage eastward. >l^ SEA CO AS 7' RESORTS. 33 ST. ANDREWS. " And the pale health-seeker findeth there The wine of life in its pleasant air." This couplet might well have been written of the charming new-old summer-resort, St. Andrews-by-the-sea ; old, dating back far beyond its early settlement by the sturdy Loyalists, who fled from America upon the Declaration of Independence, issued by the colonies, and who founded upon the long peninsula extending far into the bay, this quaint old town, whose streets laid out by Deputy John Jones, surveyor for the Crown, in 1 784, are the earliest example of the Philadelphia checkerboard plan on record, consisting of avenues of a uniform length and fifty to eighty feet wide, crossing at right angles and dividing the town into sixty blocks, each three hundred and twenty feet square. Old again in its reminiscences of its sturdy Loyalist fore-fathers, who, leaving the " States " during and immediately following their rebeUion against the Crown, brought to this quiet border town their families and flocks, with, in some cases, their homes also, in proof of which there are houses now standing in St. Andrews whose frames were brought from Castine by their Loyalist owners, and set up anew beneath the Crown. Within the English church of the tovvn rests, conspicuously displayed, the royal coat-of-arms, brought by its staunch supporter. Parson Samuel Andrews, from the church at Wallingford, Connecticut, where, during the struggle for independence, he had earnestly prayed- for the success of the English arms, and, caring not to live in the new republic, settled at St. Andrews, bringing the emblem of royalty with him. New St. Andrews boasts its fine hotel, "The Algonquin," opened in June, 1889, to receive nearly 1,400 guests its first season, and other improvements of the old town, which have made this sleeping-beauty of the seaside the ideal summer resort. Few coast towns have a more favored location than St. Andrews. Long before it was thought of as a summer resort, it enjoyed a certain patronage from ]:)leasure-seekers from Northern New Brunswick and across the border. Its marked characteristics led to the formation of the St. Andrews Land Company, who have, with their varied improve- ments, of which the new hotel and Indian Point Park are notable examples, made the old town to blossom Hke the rose. The hotel stands upon an eminence overlooking the town, and 150 feet above sea level. From its broad piazzas an unobstructed view is had, disclosing the whole panorama of Passamaquoddy Bay, with the Chamcook Mountains, the St. Croix River and the distant shores of Nova Scotia for a background.

CROIX RIVER AND SCHOODIC LAKES, THE SPORTSiMAN'S PARADISE A STORY OF 1604 CALAIS AND ST. STEPHEN, THE GATE TO THE PROVINCES. IT IS the Frontier Steamboat Company, whose boats, connecting with the International steamers at the wharf of the latter company at East- port, cross the bay 10 St. Andrews and ascend the historic St. Croix to the river towns along its banks. It is thirteen miles to St. Andrews — tha-teen miles of delightful sailing with the objective point in view, backed up by the Chamcook Mountains and other highlands of New Brunswick, which border the bay. After leaving the wharf at St. Andrews, the steamer rounds Joe's Point and enters the St. Croix. This noble stream flows from the Chiputneti- cook, or Schoodic chain of lakes — lakes famous for their fishing and hunting opportunities — and forms, with the lakes above named, for a considerable distance the boundary line between the United States and Dominion of Canada. This is /he region for famous game and fish — the home of the moose, deer and land-locked salmon. Ascending the St. Croix as far as Calais, a point we shall soon reach in description, which lies thirty miles up river from Eastport, a short railroad, the St. Croix & Penobscot, may be taken, which will bear the sportsman twice across the river and on to the village of Princeton at the very outlet of the Grand Lakes of Washington County, Maine, and into a game region of forest, lake and stream. From Princeton a small steamboat runs up the lower lake to Grand Lake Stream, the outlet of Grand Lake, and the home of coundess land- locked salmon of aldermanic proportions. On the lower lake there is a large village of Passamaquoddy Indians, whose young men make capital guides for the sportsmen entering this region. The townships here bear numbers as distinctive marks ; settlements have not driven out the game, which here exists as in no other part of the State. The Maine Commissioner of Game and Fish has recently placed the number of deer "on the hoof" within his territory at ten thousand, with a large ratio at home within these Washington County woods. The names of Grand Lake and Grand Lake Stream are a well- 37 SS INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. known and sufficient guarantee that the angler may here find Ultima Tlwle. Can a more deHghtful trip be planned by the sportsman than the ocean voyage we have described, reaching Eastport in the early morning after twenty-four restful hours from Boston, and with the privilege of sojourn in Passamacjuoddy if desired, or push on to this sportsman's paradise by boat and rail same day? But to return to the ascent of the St. Croix, from which we have been diverted by these sporting possibilities. Joe's Point hides the town of St. Andrews, and the little steamer bears away up stream with Europe on the right and the border of America to the left. America presents the shores of Robbinston and reminds of the current border story of a cannon-ball dropped into St. Andrews' suburbs upon the 4th of July, and returned upon the Queen's Birthday. As the distance from town to town is three miles, this must resolve itself into popular fable, told for its border-poetic effect. In truth, there is only harmony between the two. Chamcook Mountains, upon the New Brunswick side, are soon passed, and Douchet's Island appears in mid channel. Here description must give way to historical incident, which must wake the dullest fancy as one passes this small island, so long neutral territory, and which is fast disappearing before the flow of the stream, which must ere long remove this, the site of the earliest attempt at settlement in this part of the New World. Here is the story : — By royal patent given by King Henry IV. — Henry of Navarre — and dated November 8, 1603, all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-sixth degree of north latitude was granted to his well-beloved friend Pierre de Gast, the Sieur Des Monts. "Acadia" was the name given to the grant — a name which still clings to the country and people : thus we have the Acadians, and the towns of Tracadie, Shubenacadie and others in Nova Scotia. Des Monts during the winter secured and equipped two vessels, in which he and his party arrived the 6th of May, 1604, on the southerly side of the peninsula of Nova Scotia. Coasting the new country they entered the beautiful Annapolis basin, where, charmed with the spot, part of the expedition remained to found the ancient town of Port Royal, — now Annapolis, Nova Scotia. We shall see this town later on, and present a picture of the defences erected by this early colony. Des Monts, with Samuel Champlain as pilot, set sail for fresh dis- coveries in the new acquisition. They explored the Bay of Fundy, and thence proceeded to the waters of Passamaquoddy, which they called SEA COAST RESORTS. 39 a "sea of salt water." This was the first expedition to these waters. Passing through the outer fringe of islands, which stand guard as to-day, sheltering the calm within from the boisterous sea without, the ships crossed the bay, passing within pistol shot of the site of the present town of St. Andrews, and ascended the St. Croix, even as we now are, until arriving at a small island Champlain selected it as a suitable spot for defence, disembarked his forces and fortified it against encroachment from the Indians. He, geographer as well as pilot, describes it as " about three leagues in circuit," and from the fact that immediately above small streams flowed crosswise to join the larger river, thus giving it the form of the Holy Cross, he named the island St. Croix, a name which has since descended to the river, while Douchet's is the name the island bears. During the long boundary disputes this island was held as neutral ground and enjoyed all the rights and privileges of No Man's Land, thus becoming a favored dueling resort. To-day it bears a light supported by the United States Government. Within the keeper's house are many relics of the early settlement. Upon this island Des Monts chose to winter the expedition. The Indians were disposed to be friendly to the strangers, but of this the colonists were in doubt and took every precaution to guard against surprise. Prodigality in building their winter quarters had caused a dearth of wood, and as the long, cold winter of the northern climate progressed, the water-courses were frozen and the men were forced to cross to the mainland for both wood and water. This they did under cover of the night and in constant fear of attack. To add to the horror of their situation a new and dread disease broke out among them. Thirty-six of the little band of ninety fell victims to scurvy before a remedy was found in a simple antiscorbutic — the boughs of the spruce steeped and drank. This was recommended by the Indians, and forms the earliest testimonial in favor of spruce beer. The bodies of their dead were carried at night to the mainland by their comrades and there buried. Fancy the feelings of these men in a new and unexplored country, in the midst of an unknown death, and surrounded by a dreaded forest foe ! Spring came at last to their relief, and, with the survivors, Des Monts set sail about the middle of May, 1605, southward in search of a warmer clime. They entered the Penobscot, discovered and named Mount Desert, and voyaged as far as Cape Cod ; there the search was abandoned and the ship returned to Port Royal. SEA COAST RESORTS. 4I THE MAGAGUADAVIC RIVKR AND LAKE UTOPIA. Let US return for a moment to Passamaquoddy before bidding it adieu. At a point some distance east of the peninsula occupied by Si. Andrews, the Magaguadavic River, a purely provincial stream, finds the sea also in Passamaquoddy Bay. It bears a strong i)art in the history of boundary disputes. For more than a century and a half following the attempted colonization at the island of the Holy Cross, this was practically a for- gotten region. Meanwhile, other adventurers from Catholic France had visited the Magaguadavic, and, as was the custom with discoverers from Catholic countries, had set up the cross at its mouth. From this incident the river became known as the St. Croix, and as such when confounded with the St. Croix of the Des Monts expedition, which was named as the boundary in the treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States, at the close of the revolutionary struggle, caused the knot which required so much dij^lomacy to unravel. The river flows from a lake of the same name, near Magaguadavic station on the New Brunswick Railway, and receives numerous affluents on its way to the sea. Its course is through rural New Brunswick, a country of fields and forests. Lake Utopia lies near the coast, where in early days the Indians had their homes and rallying-place. Curious relics of this aboriginal people are from time to time unearthed. The overflow of its waters reach the Magaguadavic River through a natural canal and enter the bay at St. George, with a rush of waters known as the Falls of the Magaguadavic, a picturesque cascade well worth a visit. On the west shore of tiie lake rises a palisade of rock, a peculiarly beautiful red granite much sought in architectural adornment. Here the St. George Granite Company quarries from the everlasting hills fine building stone, and here we take leave of Passamaquoddy. CALAIS AND ST. STEPHEN. Leaving Douchet's Island behind, the steamer ascends the St. Croix to the head of navigation, thirty miles abo\'e Eastport, where are the two important points, the city of Calais, Maine, upon the left and the town of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, upon the right bank. The American city of Calais is the largest and most important point in Eastern Maine, and St. Stephen the leading town on the Canadian side of the river. The prominent industry of both is the manufacture of lumber, for 42 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. which the magnificent water power of the St. Croix affords unrivalled facihties, and the upper section on each side is known as Milltown. These places are connected by bridges, and, though under different national and local governments, have common interests, and together constitute a large community, the most important centre of commercial and industrial pursuits between the Penobscot and the St. John. Besides the flourishing lumber trade, each has also considerable shipping interests. At Milltown, on the Canadian side, stands a large cotton factory, erected principally by American capital and controlled by American manage- ment ; and at Red Beach, in the lower ward of Calais, are quarries which produce red granite, a beautiful building material, also widely used for monumental purposes. The sites of the two places, sloping upward on opposite shores, afford fine locations for the homes, business places, antl public buildings of the prosperous people. Among them are the steeples of elegant church edifices, and excellent hotels accommodate the large travel which centres in the wide-awake community. There are interesting drives about the two towns, in the enjoyment of which the American visitor must be taught the unwritten law of provincial roads, which requires the driver to turn to the left in passing, the direct opposite to the rule of the road in the " States," but the correct thing, as it brings the drivers side by side, thus narrowing the possibility of collision. "The rule of the road is a paradox quite. In driving your carriage along. If you keep to the left, you are sure to go right, If you keep to the right you go wrong." As this rule of the road is prevalent throughout the British Provinces, we give it here at the doorway. Both St. Stephens, at this point on the river, and St. Andrews at its mouth, present routes for reaching Northern Maine and New Brunswick points, being branch terminals of the New Brunswick Railway. These branches join at Watt Junction, some twenty miles above the St. Croix, and afford the shortest route to the New Brunswick towns of McAdam, Magaguadavic, Canterbury, Benton, Debec and Woodstock, and the Maine town of Houlton. A continuation of the branch from Debec Junction strikes the main line of the road at Newburgh, near Woodstock, reaching the Aroostook County (Maine) towns of Fort Fairfield, Cari- bou and Presque Isle, as well as all Northern New Brunswick towns to the Madawaska River. SEA COAST RES0R7S. 43 But St. John forms the true gateway through which to reach all Provincial points, and to St. John the International steamers, from East- port, next proceed to meet connections by rail over the New Brunswick and Intercolonial railways with all parts of the Old North- East. r CH.^PTE:aSfcV&n_ OF THE ST.

After steaming eastward for three and one-half hours we enter the hafbor o St. John, and approach the city. This harbor ,s deep and capac ous. It lies upon the western and southern sides of the cty wtth Partridge Island, upon which are a light, signal and quarantme stat.on, Thelterfng i, from L sea.

Visitors to the city much enjoy the fine drives amid its surroundings. ■One of these leads across the suspension bridge, and affords a fine view of the "reversible cataract " which exists where river meets sea. Think of the immense volume of water which the St. John River discharges into the sea, all emptied through a narrow rocky chasm but 500 feet wide. Just above the city the river expands into a broad bay with every intention of a quiet exit from its confining banks. But just above the city, where, at their narrowest point, two bridges have been built, one a foot and carriage suspension and the other a railroad canti- ^m^ .ti.^. .,^ '^-^JST-'^'-'^' \r-\ otvJoHM HAK&'^''. lever, the waters are confined in a rugged gorge, through which they rush with the speed and power of a mill-race. Here occurs the fall. It is a peculiar fall, and the above term applied to it by an American humorist explains its peculiarity. At high tide the sea has a descent of fifteen feet into the river ; at low tide the river has a like fall into the sea ; at half-tide all is serene, and the river may be navigated with safety. This is above St. John, and does not affect the seaward approach to the city. Of historical interest St. John possesses much. Near the bridges, upon the Carleton side of the harbor, one may see the ruins of Fort La Tour, where was enacted the grandest drama of woman's heroism ever enacted in the New World. Madame La Tour and her famous defence of the SEA COAST RESORTS. 47 fort and garrison which occupied this spot will be remembered as long as Canada has a history. Then one must visit the Martello Tower — old stone towers are not so common that this can be overlooked — one of the ancient defences of the city, crowning the hill upon the harbor front, and climb the steep hill of Fort Howe, at the western extremity of the city, to obtain the bird's-eye view of St. John, its environs and lively harbor scene, which is presented at its best from this point. Fort Howe now contains a few antiquated cannon and dismantled barracks, but time was when it presented all the lively phases of an English garrison, and there remain many evidences of its military occu- pation. Notable troops were (gartered here. The sunburned heroes of the Crimea ; soldiers, who had fought at Inkerman and in the trenches before Sebastopol, were quartered amid these quiet surroundings in ye olden time. St. John's public and private buildings are, as a rule, of fine appear- ance, and the new passenger railway station used by the Intercolonial and New Brunswick roads is a model of modern taste and convenience. Altogether, St. John's invitation may well be heeded, and a brief sojourn, at least, before farther journeying may be passed with pleasure and profit within her borders. This, then, forms the terminus of the International Line, three hundred and fifty miles from Boston, and as the steamers, finding a ready pas- senger list of provincial people and returning tourists, retrace the route to Boston, we are left at St. John to consider in which direction our pilgrimage shall now lead us. THE RIVER ST. JOHN. First let us consider the St. John River, its villages, towns, cities, and hunting and fishing resorts, reached by the New Brunswick Railway from St. John City. Rising in Northern Maine this noble stream, justly celebrated for its scenery, flows northvvard then toward the east forming for many miles the International boundary, until finally, with one grand sweep around the northern highlands, it begins its course of three hundred miles to the sea. It and its tributaries drain an immense area in Maine, New Bruns- wick and Quebec, reaching out to forest lakes though a timber growth which is yet a stranger to the woodsman's axe. Within tliese shaded wilds are large game and large fish, to test the nerve and skill of the sportsman. 48 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Along the main stream farm succeeds farm for miles, on either bank, interspersed by town and village of rural quiet. Its head waters pene- trate the Province of Quebec, and approach the famous salmon streams Restigouche and Metapedia in the extreme northern part of New Bruns- wick. Its own tributary streams are famous for their fishing, such names as the Tobique, river and lake, and Temiscouata being again a sure guar- antee of sport. The right of salmon fishing, on all the principal streams within the Provinces, is held by lessees under its federal or local govern- ments. Permission to fish is usually granted to visitors l)y the lessees. Such as are or become vacant are sold at public auction at Fredericton, the capital. Further information on this point can be obtained from the Crown Land Office, Fredericton. The tourist-sportsman must not from this infer that he is debarred from angling in these waters. Though some are sold there are riparian privileges enough for all without trespass, and the angler is sure to receive a thoroughly honest welcome. Above the Tobique numerous tributaries enter the St. John, which may be passed by the tourist, until Grand River, fourteen miles above the SEA COAST RESORTS. 49 Grand Falls, is reached. Its station and telegraph office is St. Leonard's. Grand River is not specially noted for its fishing, but is worthy of mention as a favorite way of reaching the Restigouche, the most famous of Canadian salmon rivers. Next above St. Leonard's, and thirty-nine mile^ above Grand Falls, is Edmundston, the northern terminus of the New Brunswick Railway. It is prettily situated on rising ground at the confluence of the Madawaska and St. John. The litde village boasts of little except its scenery, and the quaint customs and manners of its people. It contains a good hotel, and. its chief claim to the sportsman's consideration is that it forms the head- quarters for the great fishing trips to the upper St. John. Madawaska, Green River and Fish River enter the St. John in this vicinity ; the Madawaska from Lake Temiscouata in the Province of Quebec ; the Fish from Eagle Lakes in North Maine, and the Green from four lakes in Northern New Brunswick, which have not yet been supplied with names, but are termed ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th. Possibly, the stock of names has run out among the myriad sheets of water which the section holds, and some future visitor may embalm his name or fancy forevermore by bestowing a cognomen upon these hidden lakes. Upon all the tributaries of the St. John above Grand Falls good trout- fishing may be enjoyed. At present, and until the projected government fishway is completed, salmon cannot ascend the falls. The ordinary ntieans of locomotion employed by sportsmen upon the rivers and lakes of Northern New Bnmswick is the log canoe or peroigiie. This will carry three persons, including the guide, and the camping outfit. French guides can be procured for a dollar a day. They will furnish the canoes, blankets for their own use, plates, etc. The sportsman must provide his tent, his personal outfit, and his provisions. Indian guides with bark canoes may be chosen at the visitor's option, or batteaus for larger parties. Good guides can be obtained at Andover, Grand Falls or Edmundston, without difficulty. It is not usually neces- sary to engage them in advance ; but, if requested, the hotel-keepers at any of the towns will arrange it. GRAND FALLS. Although not partaking in an eminent degree in the title of fishing resort, we cannot leave the St. John's River without a reference to Grand Falls, which presents a variety of attractions in the grandeur of the cataract, the rugged sublimity of the gorge, the fury of the rapids, the rich coloring of the rocks, the lovely outlooks from its high hilN, 50 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. the charming drives, the strong pure air, the quaint customs of the French liahitaus, all combined to give the visitor pleasure. The old town, settled, as were many of its neighbors, by remnants of the exiled Acadian band, after long wanderings, has ever been a point of interest to the traveller. Even in the old stage days, when the nearest railroad station was seventy-five miles distant, the Falls attracted many visitors. In situation ihe town is bounded upon three sides by the river, which here makes an abrupt bend encompassing the town, which stands upon a horseshoe peninsula thus formed. It is laid out with mathe- matical regularity, and with refreshing regard for elbow-room. Broad- way — in name and nature — runs through the centre of the town ; at one end is the railway station, and at the other the falls. The river narrows as it reaches the cataract, and widens again to its original dimension immediately after its passage of the tortuous course around the town. On either hand its banks rise into steep bluffs, one hundred and twenty-five feet high upon the west, and two hundred and fifty feet descent from town to river upon the eastern side. The cataract itself exceeds the anticipation, its plunge is seventy-five feet, and the distance from one side of the gorge to the other, in a straight line, is three hundred feet. Except in very dry summers there is an unbroken curtain of water from bank to bank, falling into a whirlpool of terrific power. Clouds of spray are ever drifting up from the abyss, moved this way and that with listless motion. This ofttimes at night produces a lunar bow which spans the fall, and, occasionally, will-o'-the-wisps hover over the moist, mossy caverns. Of course, the fall is not without its romance of the Indian Maiden. This time, so says tradition, it was a daughter of the Milicites taken prisoner by the Mohawks, their ancient enemy, who had killed her father and brothers. Her captor planned a night descent upon her tribe, and she was directed to build a fire to mark the nearest point to the falls which could be safely approached by canoes. She built the fire on the rocks below the falls, and then, as a guarantee of good faith, led the foremost canoe of the advance. Straight for the light she steered. Closely the warriors followed ; over the falls the whole band sailed and none escaped. The points of interest about Grand Falls, apart from the fall itself, are the Gorge, which is spanned by a suspension bridge affording a fine view down the Narrows, and "The Wells," within the Gorge, about midway between the Upper and Lower Basins. These wells are immense holes worn in the rock by the action of the water upon small stones. They occur in the vicinity of nearly all water- falls, but at the Grand Falls are SEA COAST RESORTS. 5 1 exceptionally large. They form an interesting study to the geologist, as indeed do all the curious rock formations of the neighborhood. There is much of interest hereabout which warrants a longer descrip- tion, but we must journey eastward. Such, then, is the St. John, a river teeming with beauty and with sport, whose grand natural attractions are supplemented in a high degree by the allurements of its forests, lakes and streams ; a river followed throughout almost its entire course by the New Brunswick Railway, and which is best and most advantageously reached by the ocean route from Boston, Portland or Passamaquoddy to St. John's City, thence direct by rail, or to a connection with the rail route at Fredericton by steamers of the "Union Line," plying the river daily between the seaport and capital. Leaving St. John, by crossing the cantilever bridge, the train loses the river at Westfield, a few miles out, to find it again at Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick, situated upon the St. John some eighty-five miles by the river from the sea, and sixty-six miles by rail. Between the two cities the river is at its broadest and recalls an incident. During one old-time winter this long reach of water, then ice, was the scene of an interesting race between the teams of Lord North, who commanded the garrison at St. John, and Larry Stivers, a butcher of Fredericton, who had accepted his wager of ^500. Possibly the leader of the British Rugulars found life a trifle dull in garrison at St. John after Crimean batdes, and did this to stir up the monkeys for the time. Be that as it may, the race was run, with honors easy until near the finish, when one of Larry's horses fell, and, before he could be cleared, Lord North secured a lead which brought him in ahead. North refused to accept the wager, but, striking the butcher's palm, exclaimed : " Keep it, Larry ! You're the only man in the province with courage to run that race." So the story goes. A steamboat line now plies the river through the scene of the North- Stivers struggle from St. John to Fredericton. The " Union Line " it is termed, and the visitor has to choose between it and the rail ride to Fredericton. Fredericton is beautifully situated upon a level plain, directly upon the St. John River, with New Brunswick hills surrounding. It is a pretty place and well worth a visit. As capital of the province it contains the Parliament Buildings and the Government House, within fine grounds ; a cathedral, normal school, and other structures of note, all tree-embowered by magnificent elms, planted with keen foresight by the city fathers of the past, to the enjoyment of the present generation. 52 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Tall elms and flower gardens are Fredericton's specialties, to which must be added its suburban drives, which are numerous and very pleasing. One of these, "the old road," discloses such extensive and beautiful vistas of scenery, wherever a break in the dense foliage occurs, that many tourists pronounce it unsurpassed. Leaving Fredericton, with its broad sweep of the river behind, we continue on through a series of inconsiderable towns to Woodstock Junction and Newburgh. From the latter point a branch connects for Houlton, Maine, through Woodstock, while we continue on in search of the famous salmon and trout streams of Northern New Brunswick. After leaving the junction point at Newburgh, the road again strikes the St. John and follows it to its very head-waters. As the train skirts the river, which is in full view upon the left, it crosses numerous tributaries famous for their fishing, as the Tobique, and others, which approach the Southwest Miramichi and Restigouche. There is this peculiarity , about the New Brunswick rivers, they approach each other by serpentine wind- ings, and by the myriad arms of their affluents, until it is possible to visit with canoe and paddle a great section of country, by " carrying " across the narrow intervening space. Thus, for example, one might leave the train of the New Brunswick Railway at Kent Station, and ascend the Shiktehawk, branch of the St. John, to its (2/;« » ^^C^^l^^P'-''^ BAY OP^ FUNDY S.S. CO. TO DIGBY, ANNAPOLIS, AND THE LAND OF EVANGELINE THE END OF GRAND PRE. 'T^HE short route to the Garden of the Provinces — the Annapohs Valley — is via the Steamer Monticello (running in connection with the route we have been following), which leaves St. John at 7.30 A. M. daily, Sunday excepted, crossing the Bay of Fundy to Annapolis and Digby, there to meet trains of the Windsor and Annapolis and the Western Counties railways running north and south on the peninsula. The City of Monticello is a first-class side-wheel steamer, finely fitted and furnished, combining luxury and comfort obtainable only on this class of steamboats. The passage of the steamer from the Bay of Fundy into the Annapolis Basin is through the narrow Digby Strait, with a range of high hills upon either side. The whole coast from Brier Island, at the southern entrance of the Bay of Fundy, to Blomidon on the Basin of Minas, a distance of one hundred and thirty miles, is protected by these rocky barriers, which here divide in a narrow waterway. After passing the strait this arm of the sea broadens into the great land-locked basin. The first stop of the steamer is at Digby, then on to Annapolis, twelve miles distant, and about midway the beautiful inland sea. The steamboat journey between the two towns is full of interest. ANNAPOLIS ROYAL. This is the oldest European settlement in /America, north of the Gulf of Mexico. It was the ancient capital of Acadia. \Ye have noted it before as the first landing place of the Des Monts expedition in 1604, who afterward visited Passamaquoddy, passing the luckless winter on Douchet's Island in the St. Croix. The town was then Port Royal ; changed a century later, after the English conquest, to Annapolis in honor of their queen. The early settlement was farther down shore than the present town, but all about is historic ground. Where now all is peace and beauty, the blast of war's great organs rent the sky, in the early days of conquest, when the roses of England supplanted the lilies of France in the possession of these shores. Port Royal has shared the fate of Louis- burg and other Acadian strongholds, and its fort has become a ruin. 81 ■82 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. It is here, at Annapolis, tliat we take the train through "the Valley," to the historic ground about the Basin of Minas. A valley, indeed, and in every sense of the word. It lies between the South Mountain range and the North Mountains which guard the coast line. Along its entire length and directly through its centre extend the rails of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, for mile after mile passing vast orchards, white with apple blossoms, or laden with tempting fruit. The finest of orchards, fair farms, and fertile fields stretching away to the mountain borders. Such is the landscape. The air is fragrant with growing crops, and the eye never wearies with the charmingly rural scene. BLOMIDON, N. S. At the farther end of the valley, seventy miles from Annapolis, lies the tragic theatre of events which has given us Evangeline. Here are the idyllic meadows of Grand Pre, protected from the sea by dikes, erected by the sturdy French peasantry of long ago. Yonder Blomidon rises from the sea, silent guardian over the Basin of Minas, which curving inland, one magnificent crescent of sixty miles depth, bathes the Grand Prairies of Acadian Land. Here lived and loved, one hundred and fifty years ago, a simple people in a state of rural felicity which seems incon- sistent with the frailties and passions of human nature. Among them real misery was unknown, and benevolence anticipated the demands of poverty. Every misfortune was relieved before it could be felt, without ostentation and without meanness. It was a society of brethren, every individual of which was ready to give, and to receive, what he thought the common right of mankind. In 1755 the colony numbered a population of eighteen thousand souls. Here, at the Gaspereau's mouth, on the shores of the Basin of Minas, was situated the village of Grand Pr^. Ascend some one of the many elevations of the Gaspereau and look to-day upon the scene. A summer pastoral, rich meadow lands, dikes in the distance, and detached cottages in place of the hundreds of thatched roofs which once covered the exiled Acadians. Few traces remain of the old French village ; the dikes still shut out the sea, and the road taken by the exiles on their sad way to the King's ships may still be followed by the tourist ; other than this — " Not but tradition remains, of the beautiful village of Grand Pre." Assuming that the reader is by this time surfeited with description of sea and shore, highland and lowland scenery, which must at best employ many stereotyped phrases, let us escape for a time to relate 84 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. THE STORY OF THE ACADIANS. By the treaty of Aix La Chapelle, Cape Breton was ceded to the French and Nova Scotia to the Enghsh. The French colonists in the AnnapoHs Valley had taken the oath of fidelity to the English Crown, but they refused to take the oath of allegiance which forced them to bear arms against their countrymen and the Indians, who had always been their firm friends. This stand was particularly distasteful to the Elnglish colonists of New England and Nova Scotia who were engaged in the fierce border wars with the allied French and Indians, and their "sullen neutrality" was considered just cause of offence. Accordingly, a new oath of allegiance was tendered by King George II., by which all Acadians were required to become loyal subjects of the British Crown, and as such to bear arms against the allied forces of countrymen and friends. The people revolted, and three hundred of the younger and braver among them took up arms against their oppressors. At the fort of Beau Sejour the little band made their gallant stand, and were defeated. In vain the majority protested that this act of the {q^n was contrary to their wishes, contrary to their peaceful habits, and beyond their control. The whole Acadian people were by this rash act placed under the ban. The edict went forth. All were to be transported from their homes and fertile fields, banished, dispersed among the various British colonies to the south. To carry out this plan, five transports and a force of New. England troops were dispatched to the Basin of Minas. Arrived there a proclamation, so ambiguous in its nature as to give no hint of its object, was issued to the people of the district of Grand Pre ; it read as follows : — To the inliabitants of the District of Grand Pre, Minas, River Canard, etc., as well ancient, as young men and lads: "Whereas, his Excellency, the Governor, has instructed us of his late resolution, respecting the matter proposed to the inhabitants, and has ordered us to communicate the same in person, his Excellency being desirous that each of them should be fully satisfied of his Majesty's intentions, which he has also ordered us to communicate to you, such as they have been given to him. We therefore order and strictly enjoin, by these presents, all of the inhabitants, as well of the above-named District, as of all other districts, both old men and young men, as well as all the lads of ten years of age, to attend at the church of Grand Pr6 on Friday, the fifth instant, at three of the clock in the afternoon, that we may impart to them what we are ordered to communicate to them,. SEA COAST RESO/^TS. 85 declaring that no excuse will be admitted on any pretense whatever, on pain of forfeiting goods and chattels, in default of real estate. Given at Grand Pre, second of September, 1755, and twenty-ninth of his Majesty's reign. JOHN WINSLOW, Colonel Commanding." Four hundred and eighteen able-bodied men heeded the summons. These were shut into the church, and Colonel Winslow, placing himself with his officers in the centre, addressed them. You have read the remainder in Longfellow's version of the tale. The poor people, unconscious of any crime, petitioned Colonel W'inslow for leave to visit their families, and entreated him to detain a part only of the prisoners as hostages, urging with tears and prayers their intention to fulfill their promise of returning after taking leave of their kindred and consoling them in their distress and misfortune. The answer of Colonel Winslow to this petition was to grant leave of absence to twenty only for a smgle day. This sentence they bore with fortitude and resignation, but when the hour of embarkation arrived, in which they were to part with their friends and relatives without a hope of ever seeing them again, and to be dispersed among strangers, whose language, customs, and religion were opposed to their own, the weakness of their human nature prevailed, and they were overpowered with a sense of their miseries. The young men were first ordered to go on board one of the vessels. This they instantly and peremptorily refused to do, declaring that they would not leave their parents, but expressing a willingness to comply with the order, provided they were permitted to embark with their families. The request was rejected, and the troops ordered to fix bayonets and advance toward the prisoners, a motion which had the effect of producing obedience on the part of the young men, who forthwith com- menced their march. The road from the chapel to the shore — just one mile in length — was crowded with women and children, who, on their knees, greeted them as they passed with their tears and their blessings, while the prisoners advanced with slow and reluctant steps, weeping, praying, and singing hymns. This detachment was followed by the seniors, who passed through the same scene of sorrow and distress. In this manner was the whole male part of the population of the District of Minas put on board the five transports stationed in the river Gaspereau, and thus were the remainder of the 18,000 Acadians sent into a similar exile. Who has not followed them in fancy, and through the beautiful verse of Evangeline. Turn now to a more pleasing subject, the beautiful valley which they 86 INTERNATIONAL STEAMSHIP COMPANY. left. The author of " Sparrowgrass Papers " — old-timers will remember them with pleasure — says in description of the Maritime Provinces : '' Much as we may admire the various bays and lakes, the inlets, promontories, and straits, the mountains and woodlands of this rare corner of creation — and, compared with it, we can boast of no scenery so beautiful — the Valley of Grand Pr6 transcends all the rest in the Province. Only our valley of Wyoming may match it, both in beauty and tradition. One has its Gertrude, the other its Evangeline. But Campbell never saw Wyoming. Longfellow never visited the Basin of Minas." It is true the poet never visited the scene which his verse has made famous. It is said he feared his high ideal would become wrecked upon reality ; but he had no need ; he would have missed the forest primeval, but in all else the scene is in keeping with his fancy. GRANDE FINALE. " This is Acadia — this the land That weary souls have sighed for ; This is Acadia, this the land Heroic hearts have died for ; Yet, strange to tell, this promised land Has never been applied lor ! " Thus says an old song, to which we must take exception in its final line. It has been, and is, applied for by an ever-increasing number of summer tourists who have found that here can the greatest amount of enjoyment and recreation be had at a moderate cost. The very idea of the old song explains the chief charm which the Provinces hold for summer sojourners from "The States." It is Acadia — fresh, rural, pastoral. The same conditions exist, among its rural types, as fifty years ago. Its very season is an oddity to the American guest, who may again enjoy the "garden truck," fruits and flowers of spring and early summer by a mid-summer trip to Acadia. Phenomenally moderate — though not cheap in one sense of the word, — are all the accompaniments to thorough enjoyment of an outing passed beneath provincial skies. Hotel rates are low, and carriage hire does not deplete the pocket-book to an extent which renders that delightful pastime a thing to be indulged in sparingly. Good guides may be had in all hunting and fishing regions at "a dollar a day and found." Canoes and boats are plenty, while sail and steam are ready at every point of vantage to aid the tourist-traveller. When these are coupled with cool, bracing air, clear skies, and delight- ful scenery, in a country colored by history and filled with the interest of SEA COAST A' A SO ATS. 87 tradition, song, and story, where every prospect is new and delightfully foreign to an American mind and fancy, it is not wonderful that the old song becomes inapplicable to one of the finest vacation regions extant.

In 1758 French Acadians, escaping from Nova Scotia, settled along this coast. Here is located the most eastern lighthouse on the United States coast, established in 1809. During the past few years Lubec has made rapid strides as a favorite stopping-off place for tourists. There are several well-equipped hotels. The International Steamship Company are building a substantial wharf for the accommodation of the growing passenger and freight business. NORTH LUBEC. It is doubtful if any portion of the coast of Maine has grown so rapidly into popular favor as this charming neck of land. It is the most eastern part of Uncle Sam's broad domain. The scenery is charming ; the climate unsurpassed. As high an authority as General Greeley says, " It contains all the conditions essential to comfort and health during the heated term." Men interested in the Young Men's Christian Associations in New England, in casting about for a choice location for a summer resort for their members and families, had their attention called to this place. They found that " the half had not been told" them. Since the summer of 1889 encampments under moral and Christian influence have been held, under the control of representatives of the Young Men's Christian Associations of New England. The variety of scenery, the romantic islands, the unexcelled oppor- tunities for boating and fishing, together with the moral surroundings of this already popular neck of land, have placed it in the front ranks of seaside summer resorts. The North Lubec Improvement Company own between six hundred and seven hundred acres of land, and their latest acquisition is one of the best springs in Maine. James F. Babcock, a chemical expert of Boston, has analyzed the water and pronounced it " exceedingly pure, as regards the presence of organic matter, and in its general character and composition resembles the Poland and other water of that class." A spacious hotel, " The Ne-mat-ta-no," has been erected. x\ll its appointments are first-class, and yet the rates are much lower than those charged at other seaside hotels. Families and young men who do not care for hotel life and desire to economize, can be accommodated at the neat farmhouses at about $5.00 per week. All who attend the encampment, whether located at the hotel or not, are considered a " member of the family." A casino for public meetings and entertain- ments, a gymnasium, a bowling alley, tennis courts and croquet grounds are among the pleasing features of the encampment. Next season there will be the best attractions of any previous season. Evangelist Geo. S. Avery will conduct evangelistic meetings and give a series of Bible readings during the month of July. Evangelist W. S. Martin, Chalk- talker N. S. Greet, and others, will assist during August, and the excursions, fishing parties, and musical and literary entertainments will be all that can be desired. COHNECTIHG IiIflES EAST OF BOSTOfl.
