What pleasant visions haunt nic as I gaze upon the sea, All its old familiar legends, all my dreams come back to me." With a charm of situation peculiarly its own, offering attractions to summer-visitors in pure air and water, delightful scenery, and hotel accommodations unrivalled, the new-c summer-resort, St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, issues its invitation to ^', the thousands seeking a resting-rctrcat from the toils and cares of business pursuits, the heat and dust of cities, or the etiitui engendered by the too close devotion to home. Here no wasting fever, epidemic, nor malarial disorder saps the system's strength ; but, cooled by the close proximity of Old Ocean, the breath of suminer is as medicine, a balm rejuve- nating the overtaxed nerves, brain, and body, and giving a tone to the whole system from Nature's tonic, — the salt sea-air, — coujiled with the invigorating breath of the ])ine. Probably no point along the coast of Maine and New Brunswick has a more favored location than St. Andrews. The old place has been a sort of " sleeping beauty " of the seaside for generations. It was marked and admired long before it was dreamed of as a possible summer-resort, and always has had a certain patronage of pleasure-seekers, even in times when summer- excursions, trips, or vacations had little or no plan or part in the life of any class. Romance blends with the beautiful in Nature and adds greatly to its charm ; for no sylvan scene attracts the eye but awakes the imagination also, peopling it with the actors in the stirring events of thf past which mark this spot as the extreme oiiti)ost of the early French settle- ment ill Xortli America, dating baciv far into the seveiUuenlh century, when the cross of the fcsuit was first planted on these shores by Saint Andre (or Andie), the rover- end fatlicr, whose name still clings to Point St. Andrew,— the M. Andrews of today. Later, tiie hills and dales surnumdini,' this, the shire-town of Charlotte County, oft echoed the shrill war-whoop ofithe wily savage who, allied with the French, from St. Andrews as a rally'ng-point, issued forth upon those cruel raids which char II teri/ed the struggle between the Roses of iMigland and the Lilies of France for the possession of the Western Con- tiiuiit. Today, the visitor of one summer roams afield where ages agone the painted sasage worshipped beneath the cross and siiit up his miiiitored pra\ci to tiie (Ireat Spirit; or, embarking, ])lows the jilacid waters of the beautiful bay once doiiei! wiih hark canoes, and gathers inspiration with health in the pursuit of pleasure amid scenes, the theatre of events which have added pages to the historv of three centuries. y*- : A' ^^WWWW:;y }W^^ -V*- . CIIAP'ir.R I. Where is St. Andrews? Eastward, following the coast of Maine, — that rugged line of rocky headlands and d(.r|) indLMiiations so famous as culminating the whole grandeur of the Atlantic coast, — the rocky fringe continues, r.ntil a lovely archipelago separates fho south-eastern corner of the State of Maino and the I'niled States from the I'.nglisli Province of New lirunswick. Its Indian "'1^/'M' name, Passaiuaqttodily, reminds one that '■ Our name is on your waters, you cannot wash It out." He who enters l'assama(|uoddy liay from the ocean, through one of the three; narrow, tortuous channels, passes from the open sea where the mighty waves advance and recede, break, roar, and foam against the rugged barriers of rock in the vain attempt to gain an entrance with him, into a smooth, placid bay, studded with islands of breezy stnmnits, and with rocky, pictures(|ue shores, here and there indented with gravelly coves, where the dark-green waters break in gentle ripples on their shelving beaches, or gently BRurrsWi(i^ ^-'^m^. sway the loiij^ nOiVWeeds clinn!n>^ tenaciously to the crcvlcos .t' the rocks on the mure al)rii|)t .sliorc, as the ^leat tidus ebb and How. The sea l)illowy is passed and tlie steamer speeds nieiiily over tlie sea placid, crossing thu twelve miles which intervene to tlie farther shore, and, with an insight into the beauties of the spot which shall develop with each hour of sojourn, reaches St. Andrews, with its welcome, lint for the tr.ivclkr who inters St. .Andrews by rail is reserved that great transfcjrniatioii scene, when from a country landscajie of held and forest he emerges at once into full view of the sea, which bursts upon the eye like a revelation. Three miles out, the train passes the largest Chamcook lake, so near that one can almost see the gamey salmon in its transparent waters waiting to challenge his skill; and the air is tempered to refreshing coolness by the bree/es from olf its bosom. This shall be a favorite resort of yours, O visitor. Whether disciple of rod and fly or not, you cannot resist the attractions of a three-mile drive, over roads which are jierfection, to this secluded spot, this lake of the woods, nestling ;it the t'eet uf its brothers, the Chamcook Mountains, which from lime immemorial have thus stood guard over the sleeping lake. While one is making a mental note of this, the train bears 1 "iii on past cove and inlet, with glimjjses of the sea beyond, and finally conies to a halt at the convenient little depot, where carri.-'ues wait to bear the visitor to his hotel. We have found St. Andrews! It is, then, situated upon a narrow jjeninsula projecting far into I'assamaquoddy Hay from the Xew-lirunswick sliore. A short distance off the wharves at St. Andrews runs that imaginary line which forms the international boundary between the United States and the liritish 1 rovince of New Brunswick. St. .Andrews may be reached by direct railroad lines from Montreal, St. John, and Hoston, and by the steamers of the International Line from Boston, Portland, and St. John, offering a choice of routes which will be discussed later and at length. CHAPTEK II. ^ Its Beauties and Peculiarities. »S(f'))Sfe^ " The iiilinitL- l)li!.s (if Niitiire I feci ill. Ty vein, The li^;lit u.i lliu life of Slimmer Hlossom in he:irt and lirain." Who can :i(ki|iiatcly clcscrihL' the beauties of St. Andrews, when with tlie eye un.iiclcd one c.in see iioin his liotul- veranda the encircling line of seventy- five miles of sea-coast, witli the sail- dotted hay for a foreground, ami the o])|)osite shore, so far from being llat _ and ninnotonous, rises into a saccession of swelling dome-liUe hills wliic h Innk in the twilight liUe dim distance-shrouded nioscjues ? In the centre of such scenes as thcoc, as it were upon a platform sur- rounded by onr; of those famous paint- ings, who can describe iitiv the wondrous beauty of this t.rand cyci.ouama ok CioD? In the attempt to picture St. Andrews with the pen, it were better to divide it into two |)arts and illustrate what Nature and what man have each done for this charming spot. Imagine, then, a town of some seventeen hundred inhabitants, quiet, tree-embowered, peaceful, nestling to the water's edge upon a narrow peninsula surrounded upon three sides by a broad expanse of dancing sea, gently rising from the shore '^^^^^^^^k;^ - '^>-: i: 3-r ANDREWS i1.B. » « ^ M S^^ r^ n P^RU! fJsSri(i^ until, at a distance of two tliousand feet from high-water mark, an altitutlc of one hundred and fifty feet is attained; yet so evenly graded is die slope, terraced there by the hand of Nature, that one perceives it not until, turning at the summit, the eye is charmed by the view seaward over the sleeping town. Turning to each point of the c()mi)as!;, the visitor sees an encircling line of coast, encompassing a broad expanse of sea, while beyond the narrow- neck of land which connects St. Andrews with the mainland rise the Chamcook Mountains, forming an amphitheatre within whose walls rest the fairest in this the very home of forest-fringed lakes. This is the outlook from Fort Hill. It is here that man has ])laced his hostelry ; " myne comfort in niync inn " means much amid such surroundings. Occupying the higliust point of land within the town, vet so far removed from it that whatever stir of conniierce or trade vet remains to the sleepy burgh is hushed, the hotel site of the new Algonquin is ]> rticularly grand. l'"ive hundred feet away stands old Fort Tippcrary, famous wlien St. .\ndrews was a strongly garrisoned border-town, and today retaining a part of its ancient glory in the obs(jlete guns still mounted behind the earth-works, and in the ofticers' (juarters and barracks, fast falling to decay. Late vears have seen the earth-works bristling with arms and have heard the roll of the drums of Uritish regulars upon but two occasions, — the firs' "the Trent affair," and again during the famous "Fenian Raid" of 1866. Then ships of war anchored in the l)ay, and transports lantled company after company, until a full regiment of Royal Grenadiers occupied the walls of the ancient fortress and brought relief to the anxious oitizens of the town. leaving the nuignificcnt natural scenery afforded to the eye from Fort Hill for a stroll al)out the (piict streets, one meets the picturcsc(ue at every turn, — in the old-fashioned quaint houses, with a display of flowers in the windows of the poorest, evidence of the natural cultivation ot the people; and in the broken-down wharves which line the water-front of the town, % to V once teeming with the life of commerce. Never was a town more profusely blessed with flowers than St. Andrews, and, curiously enough, Nature has ordered that spring and summer blossoms combine at once to please; thus the species which are passed to the denizen of an American city bloom again for him upon his arriving at .St. An- drews. Everywhere, rose and hawthorn hedges meet the eye and charm the senses, while the humblest cottage presents its mass of brilliant-colored flowers. St. Andrews was at o;ie time famous for its shipping. It is within the memory of the older inhabitants that a fli-et of twenty square-rigged vessels waiting in St. Andrews Bay their turn to receive or discharge cargo at the crowded wharves was no uncommon sight, while phenomenal stories are told of man's ability to walk from the lower end of the town to Joe's Point u/'oii the dt\/cs of Tissr/s, stepping from one to the other. True it is that St. Andrews once commanded the West-India and coasting trade of the whole province, and true, alas, that there remains today nothing of this far- reaching C(jmmerce save here and there a vessel, long condemned, falling with the unused w-harf at which it lies into dilapidation, in its decay most picturesque ; while about the ancient timbers the flashing, dancing waters of the bay leap and cling, as if in endeavor to awaken them from their lethargy and again revive the old-time prosperity, .\lthough its clangor and confusion have gone forever, the old town is still interesting, its quiet and restfulness, together with the embelli-diment which Nature and man have given it, constituting its principal charm for summer-visitors. The very streets of the town, laid out in the year 1784 by Deputy John Jones, surveyor for th^ ("rown, and builded by the sturdy loyal forefathers of St. Andrews.'are a novelty, formed as they are by avenues of It ■9-^ ^BruAswiCi^ a uniform length and sixty to eighty feet wide, crossing at right angles and dividing the town into sixty blocks each three hundred and twenty feet square. TiiK DiuvKS. — Leading from St. Andrews as continuations of the broad avenues of the town, are roads which are perfection as far as road-building goes. Forcst-Iinrd and shaded, these wide highways reach many charming spots by sea and inland lake, where the luncheon- basket maybe unpacked and its contents eaten with an avidity bom of the invigorating air. Or, if the lover of horse- flesh desires u, speed, every opportunity is afforded by the magnificent livery of St. Andrews, where turnouts of every dcscriinion may be had at phenomenally low rates. The roads about St. Andrews partake of the peculiar geological formatinn of the town, — a red sand- — — — — 1 1 1 i-t 1 stone, — which can be seen crojiping (lilt here and there, and through which the ro.iils are graded, reminding one greatly of the famous "pikes" of the Middle States; while upon these rocky highways the horses' feet strike and resound, a merry acconi|)aiiiment to the wheels. Xo mud, no dust. The water from the severest rainfall re- mains not to aimoy or dispel the pleasures of the drive, but percolates through tiie porous road-bed until, in an incredibly short time, the lightest slipper is not dampened by pressure to the ground. Nor does the sun of summer form a ilust, to rise in blinding clouds from under the wheels. Black silks may be worn upon the drive and not rendcreil unsightly objects by a thin coating of earth ; no are gloves and faces soiled. <^^::^-}. <§)T AndrewS'.'N.B LooK'NO South. tt f The favorite drives are to Chamcook ^[ountain and Lr.ke; the Shore Road, bordcrini; the river; the liar Road to Mowatt's Grove; and, at low water, across the liar to Minister's Island. To visit the sumnut of Chamcook, the horses are left at the base and the ascent accomplished on foot, with a taste of Alpine excite- ment, although the climb is a perfectly safe one. For more than half way from base to sununit, the raouniain is bare of vegetation, save a scanty covering of moss, which ;Lt the summit is itself wanting. In altitude, Chamcook Moun- tain claims one thousand feet above the sea; and as. tide-water washes its very base, the view from its one thousand feet may be far grander than if multiplied five times over, a hundred miles inland. Its companions are crowned with fir-trees, but the summit of Chamcook is bare. Upon its readily yielding surface of the prevailing red sandstone f..rm- ation are carved the names of visitors to this mountain-top in the early years of American independence and the con- sccpient coming of the Loyalists to inhabit the quiet town below. Not singly, but thickly covering the whole summit arc thnse carvings. What tales they tell to the imaginative mind! Were they brothers, friends, or lovers? \Vho can tell! Facing seaward, the view is over the bay, and the islands which form its farther border, <nit over the ocean to where Grand Manan alone breaks the line where sky and water meet. Campobello, easily reached by steam or sailing craft, lies suggestively within sight. To the right and beneath lies the calm of the inner bay, reaching up to the mouth of the St. Croix, with Docie's Island almost directly opposite your lookout. Tlic stream is traceable only a short distance before it is hidden by its own windings, yet you mark with interest the dividing-line Itetween the Provinces and the States, so intimately near. The left dis- closes a view across a sheet of water ten miles in width to Toint Midjic and the mouth of the Magaguadavic ; while above and beyond is nrarked in faint perspective the bl 'c outline of the Nova-Scotia shore. Inland, the eye meets first the beautiful lake from which the mountain takes its name, the railroad winding along its shores until lost amid the rounded hills. Katahdin, in Northern Maine, the noblest peak east of the White Mountains, is added to the picture, which the visitor leaves with regret. Again, the drive is tt) the giove, a inagniricent hard-wood growth within easy distance; and, if the tide be out, there exists in this direction the additional attrac- tion of a ride across the liar to Minister's Island, so called from its purchaser, I'arson Andrews, him of Connecticut Loyalist fame. Tliis ride will be for half a mile, exact measurement, through the bed of Old Ocean and twenty feet behno sea-lci'cl nt /lii^/i -cuiti'/: The phenomenal tides make this possible. 'Uiilike the ocean-bed at other points, there tiring sea at St. Andrews jiresents no nauseating expanse of nuid-(lats; !)ut from the surrounding ledges the sea for countless ages has been chipping, bit by bit, frag- ments of sandstone which form its pebbly beaches and its shining bed. Across this the carriage spins merrily, the horses' feet upheld and the wheels making scarce impression n|)on the imyielding substance. (Ireat kelps and sea-weeds, left by the retiring sea, lie around awaitin;; the return of the water, which now lies upon each side of tile narrow bar which at this season of the tide allows the passage. Juk's Toint.— Near the town is another lookout much .sought. In reaching it, the road passes the old block-house of Indian warfare, sug- gestive still, standing in a delightful little bay of its own, and with its curiously-buiit projecting second story, from loop-holes in which the beseiging savages who attempted to batter down the door were themselves knocked down by bullets from the rifles of the settlers within. Here may be seen guns bear- ing the monogram of George III. ■SS?*«:~ t M i' Indian Point. — But it is at Indian Point, as the extreme end of the peninsula is called, where Art has been called to supplement Nature, and the com- bined efforts of the two have reached a result delightfully novel. In the year 1700, this Indian Point saw the landing of Col. Church and his party from Massachu- setts Hay, bent upon retaliation for the sacking of the town of Deertield, Conn., at that time the most northerly settle- ment upon the Connecticut River,which had been attacked and burned at daybreak on the 29th day of February of the same year by three hundred French and Indians from Passamaquoddy. The point retains little of its old-time appearance save its contour, having been transformed into a pub- lic park, with many attractive features for the summer-visitors to the town. Ten acres of land, on the very end of the point, have been turned into a garden-spot, upon which money and landscape-gardening art have been lavished to form such attractions as the ISoulevard (or race-course) around the point upon the water's edge, with a view seaward commaniiing the entire bay ; and serpentine walks and drives leading fr(Mn the border-road and winding in and out among the balsam- firs and pines, whose balmy breath induces health. The i)el)bly walks and drives present a unicjuc appearance, the road-bed formed of the gray and the walks (jf the red gravel from the beaches about the bay. An artijicial lalcc, large and island- studded, occupies the centre of the park, its shingly bottom distinctly seen through the three feet of clear water, suffi- cientlv shallow to allow of escapades in the bark canoes of the Indians, whose artistic wigwam is raised near by, without danger of more than a ducking. Adjoining the park are fifty-five acres of ground to be laid out in building- lots, and where some cottages are already finished, others going up, and many in prospect. The most scrupulous t5 care is being given to the laying-out of the park and cottage-sites by a skilled engineer cs])eciany engaged for the purpose, and under whose supervision a system of drainage is being completed. CHAPTER III. St. Ahdhews Chuhches rnd PuBiiic Buildings. " The sound of the church-going bell " goes out at St. Andrews from five denominational edifices. The English church, a neat Gothic structure, is beautifully situated and well filled eacli Sundav. Here the American visitor will find a charming novelty in the liiiglish service as it is rendered beneath the Crown. ISut the chief (Iiarm lies in the Scottish kiris, which, high upon its bell- tower, hears the carved and naturally painted image of an oak-tree, with the legend beneath, " C.reenock Church. Erected 1S24." In- side, there is the huge double-decked pulpit of solid mahogany, with sounding-board ato]), and with two flights of steps, protected by gates, up which the preacher must climb to gain entrance to the red-curtained enclosure. One expects to be addressed by a preacher in the old-time jieriwig and smalls, and wonders if ye tvthing-man will correct the misdemeano'- if he turns to survey the audience, fully e.xpecting them to be members of the past congregations, among whom he had intruded in fancy. This church was built at a time when St. Andrews was the great ship])ing-port of the province, by one of her most ])ros- perous merchants, who gave it to the parish, and who spared no expense in furnishing it in the most approved ecclesi- astical style, as witness the mammoth i)ulpit brought from England at an expense of ;if5oo. Its like cannot be It d II * Alomg theWmarves - ' St. AfiDREws n.5 found on the North-American continent today. But the people of the parish were unappreci- ative to such an extent that the first yearly- rates (taxes) were unpaid. Possibly they were willing to leave that also to the generosity of the donor; but, not to be trifled with, that gentleman, procuring a brace of pistols, mounted his double-decked pulpit one sabbath morning and in lieu of a sermon gave the con- gregation a volley in intimidation ; then, after the last had vanished, leaving tiie odor of burning powder to mingle witli the odor of sanctity, the donor, locking the dmn; betook himself home, and announced that when the congregation paid their rates tliey could have their church. A carved dove, bearing the olive- branch of peace, placed above the pulpit, attests the peaceful outcome of the strife, and leaves- it to be inferred that thereafter the parishoners were more careful iu payment of their dues. 17 Withal, the visitor will find much of interest as well as of pleasure and instruc- tion from the Sabbath among St. Andrews churches, where he will encounter a majority of the people of this sober town, who are all the happier from having "been to kirk." The town also boasts of a neat little marine hospital for the relief of seamen, and, being the sliire-town of Charlotte Countv, possesses the court-house and county jail, bo'h in an enclosure together, so that a stern judge may by a glance fron> the window see his sentence carried into execution, and both displaying, conspicuously, the lion and unicorn below the crown. ' CHAPTER IV. St. Rndhews foH HEfliiTH. "Ami the pale lieallli-seeker tiiKlclh there Tlie wine of life in the pleasant air." Readers of summer literature arc familiar with elaborate and detailed statements of the weather at various summer- resorts, where, if one m .y believe all that he reads, the thermometer never reaches the eighties, the sky is flecked with just enough of cloud to perfect the landscape, the days warmed by the summer sun to just the right temperature for comfort, the brec/cs arc ever bahny, and the nights always cool. Fortunate is the writer, then, that he has not to draw upon the imagination nor gather dry statistics to adorn his chapter upon the climatic conditions of St. Andrews. No less authority than Gen. A. W. (Jreely, of the United-States Signal Service, in an .article in " Scribner's," entitled "Where Shall We Sj^end Our Summer?" alter detailing in much the above manner what people are led to expect, s.ays : "There is possibly one place in the United St.ites where such conditions obtain,— a bit of country of about forty square miles at the extreme south-western part of the United States, in which San Diego is situated; but even here, pcrh.ips 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 north-eastern point of the United States,— i8 ;H f t h Eastport, Maine. ... At luistport, the prevailing summer winds arc from the south, which malies the weather delightful." (Icn. tireely, 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 the humidity of atmosphere. Again we quote Gen. (Irecly, whose chart shows that the belt denoting the dryest atmosphere passes through I'assamaquoddy Bay. lie says : " It is further of importance to note ^~, that the quantity of vapor ])er cubic ,,_^ — ; ' ■" ."' ; ■.--.'., , '■ !/ ,^ • 'i foot decreases as one goes northward, and the absolute amount of water in the air in New Jersey is fifty ])er cent greater than in Maine, while the cpian- tity along the Atlantic sea-coast from Hatteras south is nearly twice as great. ...

He will tell you, tirsi, of this singular fog freak; next, of the town's immunity from hay-fever ; and he will then enter into a long dissertation upon the air and water of the town, stating facts which tlie visitor will sub- stantiate after a sliort sojourn. We Iiave seen tliat the vicinity of Passama- cjuoddy Hay possesses an enviable climate both as re- gards temperature and iiumidity. Attention has been called to the peculiar formation of tlie soil, which allows no surface-water to remain, but provides, in the sandstone underlying all, a natural fdter, through which water passes, taking with it all deposits on the surface. One cannot stir abroad without meeting gems of transparent fresh-water lakes, which surround the town and suggest the suj^ply furnished at his hotel. One cannot but notice also the mighty tides which, twice each day, in their twenty to thirty feet rise and fall, remove all waste far from shore.

The popularity which St. Andrews has acquired as a summer-resort and the increasing request for accommodations have caused to rise upon that magnificent site, Fort Hill, a charming summer-hotel replete with every luxury that good taste may desire Completed earlv in the season of 1S89, and ready for occupancy by the first refugees from stifling ct.es, the Algonquin will be found delightfully fresh, new, and inviting. From its pia..as, which form a fourteen-foot-wide promenade about three sides of the hotel and three hundred and forty feet long, may be had an unobstructed view over the town which lies at its feet, taking in the grand panoramic scene before d .cribed from the sunnrfit of Chamcook Mountan. The dining-hall with its open fire-place occupies the south-western corner of the hotel,- the finest of locations, w.th a v,ew seaward from the tall windows which extend to the floor of the veranda without. Above the first floor, which contams dining-hall and parlors, ladies' reception-room, card and smoking-room, with writing room connected, offices, and general reception-room opening from the large assembly-hall, connected by elevator (a cor.venience unpossessed by any Lastern summer-hotel), are eighty-five large, airy sleeping-ap.rtments, which may be engaged singly or in suites, where one may sink to rest not " Hushed by buzzing night-flies to his shimber," for mosquitoes are unknown, but lulled by the ever-present ocean-breeze, which cools the atmosphere until blankets are a necessity for comfort.

Andrews is happily free from the boisterous element so common at seaside resorts near large and i)oi)ulons cities. It is not, however, a purely aristocratic gathering, though society IS well represented. .Shining lights in all professions are there, though it is not exclusively an intellectual throng. It is like an excellent salad, where each condiment is just sufficiently represented as to be apparent, yet of not too strong a llavor, and lli(> whole a delight to the most epicurian taste. It is a selection of people who have found in St. Andrews the spot where the highest degree of daily jileasure may be had with least effort, forming the accompaniment to the ab.solute rest and healthful influences of the place. ^ as «f CHAITKR V. >,: & i^> St. Andrews for Fishing. ■ON~— (r>K ')m&!^))>1W The vicinity of .St. .\ndrcws ;iffoitls to the iisiicniKin excellent opportnnity for indulging his ta.sto, whetlur it be for the cod, the haddock, or the mackerel of the "salt seas," or the land-locked salmon, the togiic, the speckled trout, or the perch of the lakes, ponds, and streams. The pur|)osc uf this chapter is not merely to refer in a general way to what the jjiscatorial sportsman t/iav lind, and then leave him to find it, if he can, but to record infurmati(m of a reliable character that the tyro or expert may follow without wasting hi.s time listening to glowing tales of fish that may be caught at this or that place, generally at greater distances than he needs to travel. In nearly every instance, the I J fiHH^'wHH^Hipi • Jf ' >RTi|^"m.ij' I information is based upon jiersonal experience, and if to the expert certain of the hints seem unnecessary, he must remember he was a beginner at some time or other, and would then have been very glad iuul he been given guidance on which he coidd depend. First in order, we will take up the sea-tishing. There is any muiiber of excellent fishing-craft in the harbor, whose skipi^crs during the winter season follow iishing for a livelihood, but during the summer months, with their boats repainted and cleaned up, seek the custom of the stranger. The.se boats are usu.ally sloop-rigged and of the "pinkie" shape, — that is, sharp at both bow and stern, ranging from twenty-five to forty feet in length, draw from five to eight feet of water, and are as safe as any sailing-craft afloat. For sailing or fishing, they will comfortably accommodate eight or ten persons, but if it is designed to spend one or more nights aboa d, the bunk or sleeping-accommodations and cook's galley will be found better adaj^ted to a party not exceeding four. There are also several very good and 83 BRUflSV/l(l^ conimodidiis schooners wliose skiiipeis seek summer custom. The lioats are large and safe, witli comfortable accommodations for a party of six or eight. It is advis- able to take along heavy, warm coats always, and if the trip is to cover a night or two, good rough blankets. Having engaged your boat and notified the skipper how long it is desired to be absent, sufficient time should be given him to get on board his bait, lines, water, wood, and othei supjjlies, and in this regard the older fisherman has learned by experience to see that such necessaries and luxuries arc at hand before he starts, for there is no more uncomfortable surprise than to get a dozen miles from ]3ort only to discover that the coffee, tea, sugar, bread, potatoes, onions, crackers, pepper, salt, milk, beer, water, bait, fire- wood, l)o\v!s, plates, s])()ons, or knives and forks have been forgotten. Neglect to fill the kerosene oil-can before sailing has caused the writer more discomfort than can be well described. .Sometimes good fishing is had at the mouth of the St. Croix River, midway between St. Andrews and the village of Kobbinston, situated on the Maine border and three miles from the former place. The usual thing, however, is to direct the course south-east from St. .Xndrews, across I'assamaciuoddy Hay, to either the ]>ig-Letete or Little-Letete passage into the Hav of I'undy, six or eigl t miles distant, get through the jiassage either on ebb-tide, or with a strong wintl if it lie tlciodtide, and then vour skipper knows where to direct liis course and drop his anchor upon the "fishing- grounds,'' — or, in other words, where ])r(jfessional fishermen are catching cod or haddock for the market. Besides the two species mentionvd, you are almost sure to hook the hake, the dog-fish, the cucumber, and the sculpin, none of which are of any value, but serve to keej) u|) the excitement. The sardine-herring caught in the weirs about St. .Andrews is the best bait, and may be had for the asking. From one himdred to one lumdncl and eighty feet of water are generally upon the fishing-ground, and heavy cod-lines, with at least two hooks on each line, are used, with a small herring or half of a large one for bait. The heavy sinker carries the line to the bottom, from whence it is raised two or three feet, r-esently the distinct tug of the fish is felt, and hand over hand the line is drawn up, until the sea-fruit is landed, glittering and struggling upon the deck. .\t certain seasons, — late in August or during September, — schools of mackerel are aiK^ounced to be in the hay, when, with a good sailing-breeze, grand sport is had with the troll-line and squid while circling through and around the 34 \' i 'i \> i schools. In the event of a storm or gale coming up, good anchorage is near at hand in innumerable natural harbors formed by the protecting rocks and reefs with which the shore abounds, and as night comes on your skipper will get his lioat safely anchored in one of these, 'i'hc galley-fire is lighted ; chowder antl colfee are soon under way; the evening meal is disposed of; the pipes lighted, and, under the glittering canopy of stars which seem to shine brighter here than elsewhere, tales of adventure, travel, caught and uncaught fish are recounted, until below-dcck, the blanket and bunk are sought, where sleep, sweetened by the purity of the ocean-breeze, prepares you for the next day's sport. The expense of such a trip for two or three days, including the skipper with his boat, lines, bait, and provision, can be figured at six or seven dollars per day for the whole partv, a /;'(' ra/d division of which amount among four makes about one dollar and a half each per day. Before this reaches the eve of the reader, a steam yacht, o])en to charter by sailing or fishing parties, fi'i "-' -l/lakpS' -' will be at St. Andrews, so that those iUl|9niC0^ CHAMCOOK MT. who prefer to breakfast and sup at their ,^ 5t.AnD(^eW5.N.B. i^^^j^, ^^i^ readily, in the intervening time, have a day's fishing and not be subject to wind or tide in going or returning. Inland KisiiiNr..— In the order of their proximity to St. Andrews are the following lakes and rivers where good fishing is had: First and Second t'hamcook Lakes, Third Chamcook Lake, Limeburner Lake, Bartlett's Lake, Stein's Lake, Snow-shoe Lake, Welsh Lake, Cram Lake, Turner's Lake, McCullough's Lake, Creasy Lake, Digdequash River, or I'ine-tree Pool. Imunnerable other lakes and streams are near St. Andrews, particulars of which the fisherman is «5 BRui^iCi^ certain to obtain should lie visit the vicinity ; but enough are named in the fore- going list to afford cortinuous sport to the angler who prefers to make his hotel at St. Andrews his heackjuarters ; for to nearly every lake named he can go in the early morning and return the same evening. Assuming that you are not l)rovi(lcd with a jiortable or folding boat, the Indians located on the edge of "Indian Park" at .St. Andrews are always glad of the opportunity to "hire out" themselves and their canoes for fishing-purposes, the ordinary charge being two dollars per day for "canoe and Indian," — the fisherman, however, being expected to supply food for the Indian as well as himself. In the original order of naming the fishing-waters is recorded here hints as to each locality in detail; but it mu.st be remembered that the condition of weather, and the skill and experience of the fisherman, arc concomitants of successful sport on nearlv anv water. . FiRsr CitAMCdoK Lake. — One and one-half miles long and a mile wide. During the month of June land-locked salmon are readily taken with the fly, from off the rocky ledges alongside the New-15runswick Railway track, five and one-half miles from St. Andrews. The train which leaves the station in the morning will take the fisherman to Chamcook siding, whence directly up the track a walk of half a mile to the ledges referred to is made; or, arrangements may be made with the cr/iidiictor to let you off directly at the ledge; and similar a.rangements to picl. you up in the evening arc iiossible. During July, August, and September, however, a boat or canoe is necessary to reach the opposite (or westerly) shore of the lake, where, by fishing in deep water with live bait or trolling with artificial bait or spoons, , the land-locked salmon can be taken. During the season of iSSS a great many fine fish (land-locked salmon) were caught here, Mr. Thomas Odell, of .St. Andrews, landing (jne which measured twenty-nine inches in length. Togue (or lake t'out) are also ibnndant, but as a rule will only take the hook in June or Se|)teniber, unless the fisherman, with live liait, and tishing in one hundred to one hundred and seventy feet of water, should happen to get over their "laying-hole," when good sport is (piite probable. Fish weighing from five to nine pounds may be taken in July an<l .August. Thk Second Chamcook I.akk, one-half mile long and one-half mile wide, may be reached by rail in the same manner as the first lake ; or a very easy carry of fifteen to twenty rods from the head of the first lake takes von over 26 ^M ON^=(5>s mf^0D)y{^ to the second. At the foot or southerly end of the lake a large boulder, rising five or six feet out of water, will serve as the sign-post. Directly off this, in tiftecn to thirty feet of water, land-locketi salmon, and good trout weighing from one-half pound to two and one-half pounds, can readily be taken. Third Cilamcooic I.akk, one-half mile long and one-fourth mile wide, is situated on the Frye roatl about seven miles from St. Andrews, and is best reached by i)utting boat or canoe on a wagcjn and driving to the house of Mr. (ieorge Gibson, where the team mav be put up, and ilircctly behind whose house the lake lies. June and Septend)er are the only months to lish here, when tine catches of land-locked salmon are made. From the northerly corner of this lake a path leads through the woods, and n|) the mountain-side, a distance of half a mile to the shores of Snow-siiok Lakk. — Starting from a large boulder on the western sitle of the lake, and following a straight line east to the edge of, or just be\ond, the lily-pads, quantities of trout weighing from one-fourth to one pound are caught with fly, worm, or live bait. Near the northerly end of this lake good fishing is to be had. At the southerly end, but nearly to the eastern side, a good i)ath takes you, after walking a distance of one hundred and hfty feet, into Wklsh Lakk. — K.\c?llent fly-fishing at all times is found near the rocks at the head of the lake, on the northern end, around the entire shores, or in the lily-pads to the south of the rocky island situated near the northerly end. 15ait- fishing — live bait, worms, etc. — is excellent at the southerly end of the lake, twenty to thirty feet eastward of a high -five feet of water. Returning once more to the northern end, a ■ OnVJ'^^^'^ ledge nig ^^J5S.^2Aiiyflhl^tel''F'^'^ passage between two ledges of rocks, through a somewhat tortuous channel of high ^^^ffl^QFjll|*!^^^*|ElCl rushes, leads you after a ten minutes' paddle to &^^S^M)(^^^^^^^^^^0^ Cram Lake, which lies side by side with Snow-shoe Lake, but divided from ' it by a low mountainous range. The water here is too deep, and of too dark a color to be favorable for fly-fishing, excepting in the spring and fall, when fish come to the surface ,to feed. But here the angler with live bait, fish fins, or worms can have all the sport he wants. Shut in among the mountains, these lakes stand at an altitude of over three hundred feet above sea-level, each of them a crystal gem with Nature's wildest setting. No sign of civilization appears to break the majestic grandeur of the pictures. No sound save the cry of the loon or the rustle of the wind through the trees on the rocky hill-side mingles with the song or whistle of the fisherman, as, seated in the canoe-bow, '. .lied forward by the paddle in the hands of the cojipcr-colored stoic in the stern, he lets hours or days float by, and wishes summer would never end and life be one long vacation, — and this, be it remembered, within two hours of your hotel at St. Andrews. LiMKiUJRNKK Lakk is about eight miles from St. .Andrews by the New-Hrunswick Railway, the track being directly alongside the lake, (xood trouting is had here, the smallest fish du.ing the summer months taking the fly near the shore, the larger fish taking live bait or worms in the deep waters. A mile farther on by rail is liARTLKTr's I>AKK, an excellent water for trout, but of a smaller size, running from one-fourth to three-fourths of a pound in weight. During lowery or rainy weather this is a good place to fish, because at such a time you are always sure of a good catch. The train will take you right to it in the morning, and you can take the return train back to diimcr if you wish. Till'. L'l'iM'.R DicnKQiTASH RivRR, froiii twenty-five to thirty-five miles dist.int from St. Andrews, is reached from various points on the railroad, — from Lawrence Station, which is twenty-nine miles, or at Toby Guzzie, thirty-five miles. In fact, a delightful triji can be made by taking your canoe and Indian to any point upon this river near the railroad, ami follow its course down to where it falls into Passamaquoddy Bay, a distance of about forty miles. Three davs will cover it nicely, allowing sufficient time for casting the innumerable jiools in its course, in any of which good trout are taken. The few "carries" that are necessary, over shallows or around dams, make the trip a very easy one. After i passing under Maguiie's IJridgc, about five miles from the river's outlet, the course is between moderately high hills, with farmed tields u]K)n either side. After passing under the highway bridge in front of the farm of Mr. Samuel Mclnish, to whom, with his good wife, the writer is indebted for many a night's hosp.tality, the house of Mr. J<jhn Johnston is reached. Op])()site this farm lies one of the largest jjooIs in the river, in which a good catch of large tiout can ordinarily be had. This spot is known as I'ink-Trkk Pool, and may be reached direct from St. Andrews over a good but hilly road, — a fourteen-mile drive. The fishe. man who has descended the river Ijy canoe, after fishing Pine-Tree I'ool, will have to make a carry from that point to the tide water of Passa- maquoddy ]>ay, nearly a mile and a half distant, over an excellent wagon-road. Ilither of the farmers, Mr. Mclnish or .Mr. Johnston, will, with a hay-cart and horse, be found ready to accommodate, and thus save time and labor. Once in salt water, the canoe is headed for the bay, and from between the beautiful islands which stud its north-eastern end St. Andrews is plainly seen, nine miles distant. BocABEC Lake is directly on the road from .St. Andrews to St. George, — a distance of nine miles. The natives tell of enormous trout caught here early in the season, but the writer hesitates to offer any evidence on the subject, never having succeeded in taking any of them; but white perch, many of them cares to attend to. Following this road between two and three miles l^NDEf^QJOE-6 PoiNT.GJT.-^NDI^EWtb.N.B- large-sized, will give the anglt spt sa BruH5V/i(j^ farther on, and after descending a long gradual hill, the Hocabec River, with its highway Iiridge, comes in sight. Keeping up the left bank of the river for a mile, tlie road crosses the liocabec at IJryan's abandoned mill; turning short to the lei*- and following the road up a long hill for a distance of two miles (always keeping to the right), the house of Mr. Krskinc is reached. For a trifling gratuity, one of his boys or hired men will show you the road, over which a horse and wagon can be driven to within thirty rods of Crkasv Lakk. — Within one hundred and fifty feet of the northern end of the lake, and midway between the east and west shores, in from twenty to twenty-five feet of water, your basket may be quickly filled with fine large trout. Nearer the shore the fly-cast is very effective, but in the deep water the writer has taken the larger fish with live bait. McC!iTi,i,(UT(;n's Lakf. is within a coui)le of miles of Creasy Lake, and has a rcpucation for plenty of fine trout, but as the writer cannot s|)eak of it from experience, he leaves the fisherman who visits it to follow his natural instincts. No attempt is made here to guide the angler to tlie more distant fishing-grounds of Clreen River, the Tobique, Lake iMifojiia, and dozens of other waters within a day's journey of St. Andrews. For to all these places camping-outfits are necessary. ]5ut if the information given leads the fisherman to visit the places here mentioned, the writer is confident he will return another and another season, bringing with him his friends until these waters are as well known as many much-vaunted lakes and streams possessing not a tithe of the merit of those about St. Andrews. 1g CHAPTER VI. R Bit of H'stohy. In the early part of the sixteenth century, much elation was felt in the rival countries of England and Erance over the accjuisition, by discovery and settlement, of vast foreign dominions in America. Both nations coveted the saine territory and set up rival claini>, using all jiossible means to establish, each for itself, the firmer foothold upon the soil of the new continent. Sir Humphrey Gilbert had taken possession, for the Crown, of Newfoundland and the region two hundred leagues around, while the King of Erance had commissioned the Marquis Dc J,a Roche to concjuer and colonize all the region bordering on River St. Lawrence. Thus, with each nation determined to hold its own and acquire more, it is not won- derful that existing rivalry between the nations engendered strife which resulted in great excitement, and many fierce encounters, if not actual war. On March 7, 1604, two vessels set sail from the Old World bearing Pierre IJe Gast (Sieur Des Monts), the well-beloved friend of King llcnry IV. of Erance, who had by roval jjaten*; llie previous year granted to the Sieur Des Monts all the American tcrritorv between the 40th and 46th degrees of north latitude, with the royal authority to colonize and govern it according to his own judgment. With the voyagers came Samuel t'hamplain, as pilot, one of the earliest discoverers of the country. After an ocean-voyage of two months, the fleet landed on the southerly side of the i)eninsula of N(na Scotia. Erom this point they sailed along the shore of Nova Scotia, exjjlored the Pay of Eundy, and thence proceeded to the waters of I'assamaquoddy, which Des Monts and his men called a " jca of salt water." This was the first expedition to these waters. I'assiiig through the outer fringe of islands, which stood guard as today, sheltering the calm within from the boisterous sea without, the ships crossed the bay, even as today the steamboat follows in the wake of those of long ago, and ascended the Schoodic (St. Croix) River, passing within pistol-shot of the site of the present town of St. Andrews. Arriving, then, at a small island some — -Cvr^e^F^mv 3t three miles above St. An- drews, near the American shore, Chaniplain selected it as a suitable spot for defence, disembarked liis forces and fortified it against encroachment from the Indians. This island (which they called .St. Croix, from the fact that immediately above small streams flowed crosswise to join the larger river, thus giving it the form of the hcjly cross) was as C"hami)lain describes it, "about three leagues in circuit." One readily finds this spot today. It liears a light maintained by the American gbvernment to mark the channel to navigation, which may be seen from your hotel, and vestiges of the earth-works still remaining mark it authentically; but the "three leagues in circuit " have been greatly reduced by the flow of the river and the tides, and future gener.itions shall look for it beneath the surface, where lie many of the points and shores marked by tradition as the sceres of fierce battles between hostile bands of Indians when this island's history was making. Its name, too, has been dropped, and assumed by the river, while the island itself is content to bear in its stead the name of a belle of New Ihunswick, — Theodosia (" Docie's," for short). Neutral Island, also, is a name the island bears, from the fact that during the long-disputed boundary question, when for fifty- eight years diplomats strove for an amicable settlement of the boundary-line between the United Stales and the British depend- TA^5AMA()UO0OY BAY- jU> „ ,,0H r\l|<l5TeHS ISLAND 3» encies in America, this island was lield as neutral ground, and enjoyed all the rights and privileges of no man's land. Upon this island Chaniplain chose to winter the expedition. The Indians were disposed to be friendly to the newcomers ; hut of this the expedition were in doubt, and took every precaution to guard against attack. I'rodigality in l)uilding their winter-quarters had caused a dearth of wood, and, as the long cold winter of the north- / ern climate progressed, the water-courses were frozen, and the men were obliged to cross to the mainland for l)oth wood and water. This they did at night, using every precaution against the supjxjsed forest foe. To add to the liorror of thjiir situation, a new and deadly disease now came upon them. Tiiirty-six of the little ])and k;uccumbed before a remedy was found in a simple antiscorbutic, — the boughs of the spruce steeped and drank. This medicine was K^ recommended to their use by the Indians. The bodies of the thirty- gJBr- six victims to the only epidemic (that of scurvy) which ever visited the vicinity of St. Andrews were carried at night to the mainland and there buried. When the survivors of the little party of seventy (Ogilly says ninety-seven) had sufficiently recovered their strength, l)es Monts, about the middle of May, 1605, set sail in search of a warmer clime. For more than a century and a half follow- ing this attempt at colonization, this was practically a forgotten region. Meanwhile, other adventurers from Catholic France had visited the Magaguadavic River, farther east, and, as was the custom with discoverers from Catholic countries, ^^DEitMimsTEi^ilswNDP^T.AriDReWr'^.M ^ 33 sv^iO; set up the cross at its mouth. From this incident th( river became known as the St. Croi.x, and as such, when confounded with the St. Croix of Des Monts, caused the knot which required so much diplompcy to unravel. Previous to the peace of 1783 very few settlers existed within the present limits of the town. Immedi- ately after the close of the treaty establishing the independence of the United States of America, the Loyalists, as the adherents of the Crown were called, deserting their homes and in many cases their all in the new country, crossed the border into British dominion. Very many of them settled at .St. Andrews, and there are houses now standing in the town whose frames were brought from Castine by their Loyalist owners and set uj) anew at St. Andrews ; while in the Knglish church, conspicuously ])laced above the entrance within, there stands the royal coat-of-arms, brought by that stanch Loyalist, Parson Samuel Andrews, from the church at Wallingford, Conn., when upon the establishment of American independence he removed from the republic to St. Andrews. In the year 1784, but one year after the treaty of peace, the town-site of St. Andrews was granted to William Gammon, who subsequently re-divided it among three associates, — J'arr, Morris, and P>ulkley. Not content with following cattle-paths until they w^ere accepted as regular public ways, the fathers of St. Andrews called a competent engineer, and on the pleasantly sloping hillside overlooking the bay ])lanne(! the site of .1 future city. CHAPTER VII. How TO Herch Thehe. The facilities for reaching St. Andrews, by numerous highways of steel and pathways through ocean waves, make it all the more desirable as a seaside resort. In going and returning from St. Andrews, there need be no retracing of steps, unless preferred; for a well-organized system of tours, arranged by the many lines in interest, affords a choice of routes to the traveller, and allows the going journey to be made by rail, the return by water, or 7'ice versa ; or by rail in both directions by different paths. There is no reason why St. Andrews should not form the resting-retreat for people of diversified tastes. For the inhabitants of the immense territory reached by the Canadian Pacific it has the especial 84' attraction of forming the only Atlantic-coast resort upon that great transcontinental route. The i)eoi)ic of Montreal and adjacent territory who go a-sunimering are especially favored with facilities for reaching St. Andrews. For them, there is the choice between the Short Line (Canadian Pacific), which in fourteen hours, without, change, will the coming season put a parlor-car between the city by the St. Lawrence and St. Andrews by the sea, or the- White-iMountain route from Montreal to I'ortland, also in parlor-car without change, through the grand scenery of the Crawford Notch, passing directly through the heart of the White Mountains by daylight, and connecting in the Palace Union Depot at Portland with mid-day trains, offering every con- venience of through Pullman buffet cars, which convey one to St, Andrews, arriving the same evening. The water route — that by the large, stanch, and finely furnished side-wheel steamers of the International Line — may also be taken from the ter- minus of the mountain line, — Portland, — and, bearing away, reach Kastport without intervening tiresome waits, where the smaller steamers of the Frontier Steamboat Company connect for .St. Andrews, twelve miles across Passamaq noddy liay. There is pleasure in thus travelling. One sits in his steamer- chair upon the upper deck, or beneath the convenient awnings, with book on lap, lazily enjoying the scene as the huge steamer skirts the Maine coast, or studying the queer saline types of humanity ;;o often met in the cruise along the eastern shore. Pilgrims from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, New- England, New ^'ork, and points south take some one of the many lines converging at Boston and there board one of the through trains of the Boston and Maine Railroad for a run of twelve hours through the beautiful scenery afforded by Northern New England in summer. Embarking at Boston in the morning, the run will be made through by daylight, and St. Aidrews reached with its decline; or, a refreshing night's sleep may be enjoyed by the patrons of the Pullman train ■^T^-^-^^Jl^ leaving lioston at suvcii p.m. cacli evening of the week (Sundays induclcd), and reach- i'-, .St. Andrews at noon — l)Ut not running through to St. Andrews on Sunday morning. '\W entire journey may be accomplished in finely appointed Pullman buffet cars upon all day trains or in ruUman's finest sleeping-cars at night. The International Line of steamers above referred to iias its western terminal at I'.oston and makes tri-weekly trips east. The re.-^idents of the eastern i)art of the Province of New lirunswick and of Nova Scotia find in the New- Urunswick Railway (and with it the lines leading from the city of St. John and reaching all provincial points) a safe and sjjeedv p.iihway towaril .St. Andrews, while the peoi)le of Northern Maine look to this same railroad as their means of reaching the sea-shore. The steamers of the International Line also may be taken at St. John. reaching St. Andrews upon the westward irij). The transportation comjianies which make up the route to be passed over are no embryo roads, with faulty equip- ment, necessitating slow time and tedious journeving, but trunk-lines of steel, over which the powerful loco- motives draw the elegantly furnished trains at a speed which is the essence of exhilarating motion. Altocethcr, -Kuty-'-fr^'r^,^-^-'^ :..^ip.y^'A v/;,.'..- .•,„ti3> the journey by means of the elegant trains and steamers so far from being irksome, becomes one of the most enjoyable experiences of the ouiing.

A plaiicc nt tlic accompanying map shows St. Andrews to be situated on a |)eninsiila live miles in lengtii, extending into l'assanui(|nockly liay, which is seventeen miles long by six in width, anil in |>oint of attraction has but few rivals, with strong points in common and being often compared with the Hay of Xajiles. The outer edge of the bay is encircled by mountainous island ranges, which serve to guard both the bay and peninsula from the objectionable fogs of the eastern coast. During the sunnner months cool breezes prevail, the ther- mometer seldom reaching 85 degrees Fahrenheit. 'i'he entire vicinity is traversed by the finest roads. Salt and fresh w? fishing is had within an hour's sail or ride, while the bay and lakes afford unsurpassed yachting anil boating facilities. The entire absence of mosquitoes and malaria, the general air of reslfulness, together with the curative i)rop- erties of the balsam-laden atmosphere, have made St. Andrews long and extensively known as an elysiuni for the hay-fever patient, jaded tourist, pleasure-seeker, and sports- man. The town, of 1,700 population, numerous hotels and boarding-houses, has five excellent churches, schools, livery- stables, stores, markets, telegraph office, and a weekly news- paper, "The St. Andrews lieacon," while yachts in charge of reliable captains, canoes with or without their Indian owners, and row-boats can be hired on very reasonable terms. SUdUDEH HoffiES. Probably no point along the coast of Maine and New 15runswick has a more favored location than St. Andrews. The old place has been a sort of " Sleeping Heauty " of the seaside for generations. It was marked and admired long before it was dreamed of as a possible summer-resort, and always has had a certain patronage of pleasure-seekers, even in times when summer excursions, trips, or vacations had little or no plan or part in the life of any class. Its marked characteristics led to the formation of the St. Andrews Land Company, and their purchase of property in the choicest locations, with a view of securing for those desiring summer homes, selected spots from every one of which panoramic views are had. Close to the water in Indian Point Park, 30 feet above sea-level, and scattered along the rising ridge of Barrack Hill, 150 feet high, until reaching the amphitheatre of encircling hills 220 to 250 feet above tide-water, are presented building-sites which are adapted to meet the most diversified tastes, and can be purchased subject to reasonable and proper restrictions as to minimum of area and minimum cost of buildings to be erected. Plans of the properties may be seen at the Company's offices in Boston and St. Andrews. This descriptive book will be mailed by addressing EUGENE F.
