It is on High street, nearly opposite the Normal School-house. It was built by the British in June, 1779, and Avas named Fort George, in honor of his Majesty George III. The fort is tetragonal in shape, with a bastion at each of the four angles, which correspond very nearly with the four cardinal points of the compass. The curtains between each bastion face therefore north-east and north-west, south-east and south- west. The north-east and south-west curtains are each two hundred and thirty feet in length. The nortli-west and south-east curtains are five feet shorter. In the south-east curtain is the gateway, fifteen feet wide, facing the town. The moat, or ditch, is dug down to the ledge, and the dirt helped to form the ramparts. On account of this ledge it was impossible, without the expenditure of much time and labor, to dig the ditch deeper. In the west bastion was the well, in the south, the magazine. From the bottom of the ditch to the top of the ramparts was twenty feet. The ramparts were six feet wide on the top, level, and guarded by fraising and palisades. The latter were made with large cedar stakes only a few inches apart, one end inserted in the rampart a few feet from the top, the other end, sharply pointed, extended horizontally half-way across the ditch, rendering an assault difficult and dangeroiis. The bastion containing the magazine was fully occupied by it. The entrances to it were made of arched passages of brick and mortar, over which were layers of logs, the whole covered with earth. A row of barracks was built parallel to the north- 74 Modern Castiue. west curtain. After the British left, in 1815, the Ameri- can government took possession of it and garrisoned it. The fort was repaired and strengthened, and ncAV bar- racks were erected, the traces of which are still visible. This is the fort in which Wadsworth and Burton were confined, and from which they made their escape. It was in this fort that the gibbet was erected upon which Ball and, subsequently, Elliot were executed. The fort is now, minus the buildings and munitions of war, substan- tially the same as when the British left it, having suf- fered comparatively little injury either from climatic causes or from acts of vandalism. A fine view in all directions can be obtained from its ramparts, and it serves accordingly the place of an observatory to the citizens. It is the property of a public-spirited citizen, Mr. George H. Witherle, who bought the several lots in which it was contained solely for the purpose of pre- serving it uninjured, who lias ever since made it free to the public, and who intends eventually to have it come into the possession of the town. Soon after the erection of Fort George, the British constructed several batteries upon this peninsula or in its vicinity. Some of these cannot be readily found to- day, even by those who once knew where to look for them, and a few can only be found by the aid of a guide. Those which can readily be distinguished are here men- tioned, so that they can be found by the reader without much trouble. Commencing at the foot of the hill, on the road lead- ing from the village, and not far from the bridge Avliich crosses the old canal, is North l*oint battery, constructed Interesting Historical Places. 75 in 1779, Avhich is still in a fair condition, though the field in which it is situated has been cultivated and a portion of it destroyed. Near the brow of the hill, on the right as you ascend, in the pasture near the road, is Battery Gosselin, named in honor of the English general commanding the garri- son in 1815, and was therefore erected by his troops. Not far from the south-west corner of the cemetery. and in the direction of the wind-mill, will be seen what is left of a large redoubt which has sometimes been called Battery Penobscot, but which the English named Seamen's battery, it having been built by British ma- rines in 1779. Half a mile farther beyond the cemetery, and not far from the eastern extremity of the peninsula, called Hatch's Point, a square redoubt was erected in 1779, called East Point battery. It is not easily found except by one familiar with its location. On the mainland, opposite the last-mentioned battery, was one erected the same year by the Americans, and named Westcott's. It can no longer be found. On going towards Dyce's Head the first site of a bat- tery is about where Colonel Bolan's carriage-house now stands. It is the site of the most noted of all — the " Half-Moon," or Battery Furieuse. It was the battery captured by the Americans when they made their attack. At the lower end of Perkins street, between tlie cot- tages of Mr. Edwin Morey and Mr. Thomas D. Blake, is the largest redoubt of all, excepting Fort (leorge. It be- longs to the United States, and was erected about 1811, in anticipation of a war with England, and was named 76 Modern Castme. Fort Madison. This is its legitimate name, though it was called by the British, who occupied it in 1814-15, Eort Castine, — from the name of the town, and not in honor of the Baron. This fort was rebuilt during the late Civil War, and garrisoned by a company of United States troops. It has sometimes been called Fort Porter, and often the United States fort, lait its true name, as already stated, is Fort Madison. It is a square fort, somewhat similar to Fort George, though considerably smaller. It contains a magazine and a well, and in the last war mounted five guns, two 24-pounders en barbette and three 32-pounders in the embrasures. In Witherle Park are to be found the remains of two small Revolutionary batteries and the site of an old block-house. One of these batteries was named West Point, the other has never been named, so far as is known. Only the ledge on which the block-house stood can now be seen. This building was probably con- structed more for an observatory than for the protection it would afford, though it was built in true block-house style. It was twenty feet square on the ground floor, the second story projected over the first. It had no cupola, as shown in the illustration, but above it the sides of the building were continued four feet higher. Neither the site of this building nor either of the bat- teries can be found without the aid of a guide. Near Wadsworth Cove is a large redoubt named Bat- tery Griflith, in honor of Rear-Admiral Griffith, who coin- manded the naval force in 1814-15. The dimensions of this battery are forty-seven feet front by ninety feet on the sides. It is in shape an irregular quadrilateral. It Interesting Historical Places. 11 enclosed barracks the foundations of which measure six- teen by thirty feet. This battery commands the entire cove. It is in a good state of preservation and is the property of the town. The Wadsworth Cove road touches the southern corner. The only remaining battery on the peninsula is in the pasture near to, but north of, Fort George. It is a semi- circular battery, one hundred and fifty feet in extent, and enclosing a redoubt which measiires forty-six feet. It was named Battery Sherbrooke, in honor of the gen- eral who had the supreme command of all the land forces of the English at this place in 1814-15. In the field south-west of Fort George are to be seen what is left of the American rifle-pits and other iutrenchments. On Nautilus Island are the remains of a battery erected by the British in 1779. It was the first one captured by the Americans. The island is the property of Mr. Henry C. Williams, of Brooklyn, and the grounds are not open to the public. OLD HOUSES. The greater number of the houses built here about the time of the incorporation of the town have, like their occupants, passed away. Of those which yet remain, the oldest is believed to be that now occupied as a hotel and called tlie Castine House. Its exact age is not known, but it was built considerably over a hundred years ago. The Pentagoet and Acadian hotels occupy the sites of two of the early-built houses, and a part of the latter constituted what was known as the Cobb house. The Hooke, the Gay, and the Dyer houses, on Water street, 78 Modern Castine. are all very old buildings, and betoken by tlieir size and ' shape, and the terraced grounds in front of them, the prosperity of their former owners. The residence of Mrs. Samuel K. Whiting, near the Common, was one of those occupied by the English in 1814-15. There was formerly in one of the windows of the house a pane of glass which had scratched upon it Avith a diamond, b}^ Lieutenant Elliott, a British officer, a picture of the British flag, with the Stars and Stripes underneath, upside down, and the words " Yankee Doodle upset." The author's sitting-room was once the office of a British paymaster, and there are quite a number of other houses still standing which were occupied by the British in 1814 or 1815, and which were built some years prior to that event. The Johnston house, on Main street, was built early in the century, and is noted for its fine hall, which has been often sketched by artists. The Perkins house, on Court street, is perliaps nearly as old as the Castine House. At all events, it was built before the street in front of it, which is the reason why the street curves at that point. The Tilden house, corner of Main and Court streets, was the abode of the first settled minister, Rev. William Mason, and was probably built soon after his settlement, in 1798. The house on Main street, north of the residence of Mr. Williaux H. Witherle, and now occupied by Mr. K. P. Noyes, there is every reason to believe was built as early as 1791. The Avery house, at Xorth Castine, known in the Interesting Histoiical Places. 79 last century as the Avery Inn. is perhaps as old as any standing in the village. It is noted for having been in olden times the scene of frequent festivities by former collectors of customs, gentlemen of the bar, and other magnates. It was occupied by the British in 1815, and the held near it was the old mustering-ground of the militia in the District of Maine. The meeting-house of the First Parish, commonly called the Unitarian Church, is the oldest church-build- ing in this vicinity. It is probably older than any in the county, and among the oldest in the State. It was built in 1790. The interior, however, has been remodelled and the old galleries removed. It still retains the old pews and pulpit, and such is the att;ichment to it of the society that worship there that not even the possible gain of a larger congregation has yet been sufficient to induce them to make any further alterations. The exact age of the Town Hall is not known, but as it was originally the Court-house, and as the courts were held here as early as June, 1790, it must be over one hun- dred years old. The jail was just above it, and near it were the stocks, which were built by the old town of Penobscot in 1793 or 1794. The jail was torn down after the removal of the courts to Ellsworth, but the Court- house was bought by the town. It has been somewhat remodelled, but is substantially the same as when built. This building has not only been used as a court-house and town-house, but has served as a school-house and as a church. It was occupied by the Second Parish before their church was built, and for several summers past it has been used by the Episcopalians. 80 Modern Castine. RELICS. There are many interesting relics of the past retained in the town, but most of them are the property of pri- vate citizens, and are exhibited only as a personal favor. It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when some provision will be made by the town for their col- lection and preservation in a proper museum. There is one relic which belongs to the town itself and can be readily seen. It is an old fire-engine named " Hancock." When and by whom it was obtained is a matter of some doubt. The date marked on it is 1804. No appropri- ation was ever made for it by the town, and it was prob- ably bought by private subscription. For many years the town has taken care of it, but there is no record of its ever being given to the town. During the British occupation in 1814-15 it was taken charge of by the troops, kept in Fort George, and a detail of soldiers made daily to act as firemen. It is still in a condition to be used, but has the great disadvantage of having to be kept filled by buckets. Among the most interesting relics are the celebrated " Castine coins," some of which are still in town, although a complete collection of the different kinds has been given to the Maine Historical Society. These coins, which originally numbered something like two thousand pieces, were found in 1840, by a farmer of Penobscot, on the side of a rocky hill in that town, some twenty rods from the shore of the Bagadnce river. They are called the " Cas- tine coins " because of the strong probability that they were placed where they were found b}^ the Baron Castin ^ "Willi) it Relics. 81 or some of his family at tlie time he was driven from his house by Governor Andros in 1688, or else left there by the family when they departed for Canada, in 1704. These coins were mostly French money, though there was a large number of Spanish " Cob " dollars, or " pieces of eight." There were some Belgic and Portuguese coins and some twenty-five or thirty Massachusetts pine-tree shillings and sixpences, all dated 1652. There were a very few English shillings. In 1863, on the beach just below Fort Fentagoet, a gold " demi-Louis " was found. It was dated 1642, and was in good preservation and but little worn. In the year 1863 a piece of sheet copper ten inches long by eight wide was found in the ground near Fort Madison. The letters upon the plate are evidently ab- breviations of the following inscription : " 1648, 8 Junii, Frater Leo Parisiensis, in Capucinorura Missione, posui hoc fundamentum in honorem nostrae Dominae Sanctae Spei." Of which this is the translation : " 1648, June 8, I, Friar Leo, of Paris, Capuchin Mis- sionary, laid this foundation in honor of our Lady of Holy Hope." This plate was evidently placed in the foundation of some Catholic chapel, and there is but little doubt that it was the one described as being " over the gateway " of Fort Pentagoet. There is a possibility, however, as all the other Catholic missionaries here were Jesuits, that the Capuchin mission may have had an entirely separate chapel of its own. If the latter supposition be true, it would not, in that case, be unreasonable to 82 Modern Castine. suppose that the plate was found near Avhere it was originally placed. This plate is now in the possession of Mr. George H. Witherle. The author has in his possession many old hinges, bolts, tomahawks or hatchets, stone axes, chisels or gouges, and other curiosities, which were found about here, and mostly at Fort Pentagoet. There are also in possession of many citizens cannon-balls, buttons, and other reminders of the Revolutionary War or of the second British occupation of the town. Furniture of that period is scarce, but some genuine articles are still to be found in town. There are four old cannon pre- served in town. One of them belonged to the old ship " Canova," and is kept fastened to the building on Aca- dia wharf. The other three are the property of the United States, and are under charge of keepers appointed by the government. One of them is just below Fort George, one near Otter Kock cottage, and the other below the Stone cottage. They are 24-pounders, and are marked on the breech with their numbers simply. They are undoubtedly American guns, and date back to the War of 1812, and may possibly be relics of the Revolu- tionary War. CHAPTER II. SUMMER COTTAGES. rpHE first distinctively summer residence Avas erected -^ here abont 1876 by the Late Hon. Henry C. Goode- now, of Bangor. It is on Perkins street, opposite the upper end of Nautilus Island. It has a good beach and a small wharf for boats and yachts. It is now owned by Mrs. C. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn. On the grounds adjoining the house a small astronomical observatory has been recently erected. The Stone cottage was erected in 1884, by Mr. Frank P. Wood, of Bangor. It is situated at the extreme lower end of Perkins street. It received its designation from the fact that it was built upon the lower story of the only stone building in the town. This portion is nearly one hundred years old. The small but picturesque cottage at Dyce's Head, called Winonah, on the cliff overlooking Penobscot Bay, and facing Belfast, twelve miles distant, was built by Mr. Bod well in 1882, and purchased and remodelled by Mr. Bernhard Pol, of Bangor, in 1885, who makes it his summer home. It is a veritable bijou. The handsome residence called Otter Rock, situated on Perkins street, opposite the rock of the same name at the entrance of the harbor, is owned and occupied by Mr. Henry McLaughlin, of Bangor. It was built in 84 Modern Castine. 1885. It is tastefully laid out, aud the flower-beds and shrubbery excite the admiration of all who behold them. In 1887 Mr. Frank P. Wood built, and for several years occupied, the Rock wood, a house built of logs, and hence known in common parlance as the Log Cabin. Though a handsome residence, its popular name indicates its style of construction. It is at the lower end of High street, not far from the light-house. On the south-eastern side of Madison Park is the hand- some residence of Mr. Edwin Morey, of Boston. It is one of the largest and probably the most expensive house in the village. It has a fine lawn, and a wharf where his steam-yacht " Princess '' can receive or land his guests. On the south-western side of Madison Park, Mr. Thomas D. Blake, of Brookline, Mass., built his cottage, the Belmont, in 1890. It is a handsome building, and the grounds are well laid out, and are being con- stantly improved. He owns on both sides of the street and has a fine tennis-court opposite his house. The Cliff cottage, just beyond the light-house, was built by Mr. Wood in 1888. It has a fine water view, but the grounds have been left pretty much in their natural state. The Carofan, a small but artistic cottage, on Perkins street, near the Stone cottage, was built in 1893 b}" the Misses Schenck and Way, who occupy it summers. The name of the house is a comj)ound of their own names. The Agency cottage, on Perkins street, just east of the old French fort, is the property of Colonel A. K. Summer Cottages. 85 Bolan, of New York. It is a handsome and commodious house, and has a superb water front, Avitli a full view of the harbor. The grounds towards the street are taste- fully laid out, and there is a fine beach in front. The stables are at the southern end of Court street, but within a reasonable distance from the house. This cot- tage was built in 1893. Colonel Bolan has become a permanent citizen of the town. In 1881 Mr. Charles F. Bates, of Wollaston Heights, Mass., purchased the Moore homestead. He has a small but neat cottage and extensive grounds in the rear, run- ning down to the water at Wadsworth Cove. It is the first cottage on High street, just south-west of Fort George. Next to the last mentioned is the cottage of Rev. L. 0. Brastow, D.D., Professor in the Yale Theological School. Mr. Brastow purchased the Ober cottage, in 1891, of the N. B. Mansfield estate, and has remodelled it. These two cottages being on high land, have very exten- sive views. In 1893 the well-known author, Mr. Noah Brooks, formerly of Newark, N. J., but a native of Castine, bought the house then occupied by Dr. E, E. Philbrook. It is on Main street. The house can only by courtesy be called a summer residence, since Mr. Brooks has made this town his place of permanent abode, and resides here the greater portion of the year. Mr. Frank P. Wood built The Bowlder, the fine cot- tage in which he is at present spending his summers, in 1892. It is situated just above the Rockwood, at the lower end of Hiarh street. Its construction shows great 86 Modern Castine. ingenuity, as well as taste. It is on the antique style, and a good deal of the woodwork came from well-known old colonial houses torn down to make room for the new State House in Boston. Mr. Wood owns a considerable tract of land at that end of the village, and has done a good deal to promote its value. In 1894 Hon. H. M. Burr, of Newton, Mass., erected a handsome and substantial cottage on the south side of High street, opposite the Rockwood. It is built at the extreme edge of the bank, so that the broad veranda nearly overhangs the water at high tide. During the past year, 1895, three cottages were built at the lower end of High street. The lowest one, near Mr. Wood's residence, was built and occupied the past summer by Rev. Arthur M. Little, rector of an Episcopal church, Evanston, 111. Just above Mr. Little's is one entitled ** Waldmar," erected by Mr. W. H. Wing, of New York. It is in the Norman dy-French style. Still farther to the east, and near the entrance to Witherle Park, is the cottage of Mr. Arthur Fuller, of Boston. It is a large, handsome, and well-constructed house, and has a view superior to any of the others. Owing to the recent date of erection of these cottages, none of them have the improved grounds that will doubtless be seen at no distant future. In 3891 Dr. J. W. Grindle, of New York, purchased the old Stover Hatch house and remodelled it. Subse- quently he bought the Noyes ship-yard lot adjoining, and at a considerable expense has graded it up to make a handsome lawn. This cottage is on I'erkiiis street, a short distance below the Acadian Hotel. Summer Cottages. 87 In 1889 Prof. James B. Ames, of Cambridge, Mass., dean of the Harvard Law School, bought what was known as the Jonathan Perkins farm. It is a beautiful lo- cality on Perkins Point, in Xorth Castine, at the end of ]Mill lane. He has one of the best barns in the county, and the whole farm is rapidly being brought under a high state of cultivation. In 1890 Prof. W. A. Keener, dean of Columbia Law School, Xew York, bought the Jesse Gardner farm, just out of the village, and has greatly improved it. The place is known as Hill Crest. There is now, 1895, in process of construction, on the Morse's Cove road, about two and one-half miles from the village, in what was formerly known as Hatch's woods, the largest and probably one of the finest houses in this vicinity. It is owned by Mr. W. D. Porter, of Chicago. It has an extensive view up and down the Penobscot river. The grounds are very spacious, and are to be elaborately laid out. It is to be called " Moss Acre." There is now in process of erection and nearly com- pleted, upon Holbrook Island, a fine cottage, intended for the occupancy of its builder, Mr. E. K. Harris, of Boston. Several summer cottages have been erected in the town of Brooksville, two of which are mentioned in this connection on account of their proximity to Castine, from whicli place their mail and all their supplies are received. The one on Xautilus Island belongs to Mr. Henry AVill- iams, of Brooklyn. It attracts the attention of all approaching Castine by steamer, on account of its size and commanding' situation on the island. 88 Modern Castine. The other, on Cape Rosier, opposite Ram Island, belongs to Mr. E. H. Hutchins, of Boston. It seems, at first siglit, inaccessible, on account of its situation, at the very top of an extremely steep hill. The view of Penob- scot Bay to be obtained from its windows, and especially from its spacious veranda, amply repays the labor of ascent, and vindicates the judgment of the owner. CHURCHES AND ASSOCIATIONS. The religiously inclined will find on week-days as well as Sundays opportunities to gratify their aspirations. They may not, indeed, find here the particular services to which they are accustomed, but they will be gladly received into either of the three churches, Trinitarian, Methodist, or Unitarian, to which their feelings most incline them, and will be welcomed at the meetings of the Christian Endeavor Association, the Epworth League, or the Woman's Alliance. Apart from their denominational distinctions, these churches possess each its own peculiar attraction. The first named is the more modern, and is considered the handsomest. Its spire is especially grace- ful. The Methodist Church has just been enlarged and otherwise improved, and a Methodist Chapel has recently been erected near the Grange Hall, at North Castine. The very simplicity and plainness of the Unitarian Meeting- house, together with its age, recommend it to many. If a visitor here be a Mason or an Odd Fellow, he will find his place awaiting him in Lodges of these orders. Hancock Lodge, No. 4, is, as its number shows, one of the oldest Lodges in Maine. It was chartered in 1794 by the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and still uses its old CJiurches and Association^. . 89 Masonic furniture, and has many interesting mementos of the olden time in its archives. This Lodge observed its centennial in public, with interesting and appropriate addresses. Massasoit Lodge, Xo. 84, of Odd Fellows, is in its youth. It is in a highly prosperous condition, owns its own hall, and is cordial in its welcome to visiting brothers. Its meetings are held weekly throughout the year, on Mon- days. Charles L. Stevens Post, iSTo. 72, G.A.R., holds its meetings on the first and third Tuesday of every month. Castine Grange, P. of H., holds weekly meetings every Wednesday evening in its hall at Xorth Castine. A Village Improvement Society, composed largely, though by no means exclusively, of summer residents, has done a great deal to benefit the town in ways out- side of the ordinary routine of town affairs. It has fur- nished the lamps and posts for lighting the streets, placed benches at various points on Perkins and High streets, has given the town the gateway to the cemetery, and in numberless other ways has worked for the benefit of the community. Its meetings are not held with any special regularity, but whenever called by the president, or at request of members. At tlie present time Mr. Frank P. Wood is president; CoL A. K. Bolan, vice- president ; Mr. Albert F. Richardson, secretary ; and Mr. Charles H. Hooper, treasurer. To a certain number, one of the attractions at Castine is its Town Library, which, though small, numbering only about three thousand volumes, has some valuable books. While it is particularly well furnished in the department of history, it has a good supply of lighter matter. The citizens are anxiouslv awaiting the time 90 Modern Castine. when some wealthy friend of the town Avill give a suit- able building to contain it. In the meantime they are doing the best they can with an annual appropriation of about one hundred and seventy dollars. Any one is al- lowed to nse this library as a reading-room, and any temporary resident can take books from it npon giving reasonable security for their return, WALKS AND DRIVES. Only for those unacquainted with the town is any ac- count needed of its finest walks and drives. To obtain good views of the water one should take the entire length of Water and Perkins streets, resting a while at Madison Park, the site of Fort Madison, which has recently been given up to the town by the United States for the pur- pose of a public park, and which it is intended to improve year by year. A visit from the park can easily be made to the light-house at Dyce's Head. This is a stone tower sheathed with wood and painted white. The light, a fixed white, is one hundred and thirty feet above the level of the sea, and is visible at a distance of seventeen nautical miles. The gentlemanly keeper of the liglit, Mr. Charles Gott, will admit visitors to the tower at all reasonable hours except on Sunday. The return from this stroll should be by High street to the windmill and cemetery. To most people there is nothing especially attractive about the latter place, ex- cept the fine view it affords of the harbor. There are several old graves without headstones, and a tablet has been set up over the grave of the first known occupant of the ground, who was a P>ritish soldier. There are Walks and Drives. 91 also a few curious epitaphs to be found by those inter- ested in sucli matters. The windmill is in a very sightly place. This mill is rather superior to the one which stood near there in the latter part of the last century. At least, it has not yet required the frequent repairs which the old song attributes to the former windmill. The rhyme runs thus : "On Hatch's Hill There stands a mill. Old Higgins he doth tend it. Every time he grinds a grist He has to stop and mend it." The return to the village should be by way of Court street. At the Common, on this street, is a memorial statue which, though of small size, is well designed and artistically executed, and is far better deserving the time required to inspect it than many more pretentious and far more costly ones. The stroll just described is about two miles in extent. Another pleasant walk is from High street, past Fort George to Battery Griffith and Wadsworth Cove. The fort mentioned is so near that it can be visited at any time, but the preferable time is at sunset. The view from the ramparts of the sun setting over the water cantiot be surpassed, if it can be equalled, elseAvhere. One desiring a quiet stroll through tields and woods should go into Witherle Park, through the gate on High street, near the Fuller cottage. This park is the private property of a public-spirited citizen who allows free access to it at all times upon the sole condition that the gate be 92 Modern Casiine. kept closed and that no malicious or thoughtless mischief be done to the observatory or trees This observatory stands upon the highest point of land on the peninsula. The base of it is two hundred and seventeen feet above the ocean, and the top is eighty feet higher. From it a view can be obtained at all points of the compass. One of the roads in this park leads to a square opening at the foot of a steep hill, from which a footpath has been made to Trask's rock, where the American landing was made in 1779. With the exception of the footpath to Trask's rock, the foregoing route will serve equally as well for those who prefer a carriage drive as for pedestrians. To those desiring longer drives than the village affords, what is called the "Ten-mile drive" — in reality twelve miles — is the best for a short excursion. Leaving the end of High street and going down a long hill, or taking the new road which leads by Fort George, and crossing the beach, and then ascending the hill on the opposite side of the canal, the tourist will come to the " crotch of the roads," where, one hundred years ago, stood the little " red " school-house of that period. Taking the right- hand or stage road, he will pass along in full view of the Bagaduce river for a distance of two miles, Avlien he will come to the I'oad which leads to the Castine and Brooks- ville ferry, and a few rods farther on to the iSTorth Cas- tine post-office. Continuing for about a mile farther, catching, as he proceeds, occasional views of the same water where it is compressed by the hills into the " Nar- rows," lie will come to the Penobscot and Bluehill road. Keeping directly on, the next mile of his course will take JValks and Drives. 93 him away from all view of the w^ater ; but the road, pass- ing, as it does, through a more woody country, offers a temporary relief to the eye which is not unwelcome. After passing through the grove he will arrive at a hill upon the descent of which he will obtain a view^ of the Penobscot river, and will perceive upon the opposite side the hotel and light-house at Fort Point. Turning to the left, at the foot of the hill, he will soon come to the bridge at Morse's Cove, whence he will follow on down along the Penobscot river until he reaches the stage road upon ^yhich he started. From the commencement of the woods until he reaches the bridge at the cove the tourist will be in the town of Penobscot. In passing along the road homeward he Avill be in constant view of the Penob- scot river, and, in addition to the numerous vessels at times seen sailing up or down, he wall be able to discern in succession, upon the opposite shore, the tow^is of Pros- pect, Stockton, Searsport, and Belfast, the beautiful island known as Brigadier's, and the northern extremity of Islesboro' or Long Island, known as Turtle Head. For an all-day drive our tourist has a choice of several routes. One of the most popular drives is that to the fish hatcheries at Alamoosook pond in the town of Orland. The first six miles is over a portion of road already de- scribed. The next seven is along the old stage road to Orland, over what has been called for nearly one hundred years the Doshen shore. It follows the bank of the Penobscot until it reaches Hardscrabble mountain, and from there on along the East river. After reaching Orland village, the way is still along the (piiet stream just named, past a deserted mill and time-worn bridges to lake 94 Modern Castine. Alamoosook, dotted with small woody islets, and now and then huge bowlders which look as if hurled from the rocky mountain which rises up steeply from the inviting beaches at its base. Here the United States Fish Hatch- ery is located. It is a wonderful affair, and is said to be the largest in the world. On the grounds are several buildings, a pretty little cottage for the superintendent, and a chemical laboratory where experiments for the most healthy hsh-foods are carried on. All parts of the growth of fish can be seen here from the tiny eggs to the full-grown trout and salmon. The small fry are kept in wooden boxes with sluices arranged for a con- tinual flow of fresh water. The vigorous two-year olds are kept in cool little pools shaded with green bushes, Avhere they swim lazily around as if for the amusement of the spectator. The return home can be over the road already traversed or by way of Penobscot ridge and Northern bay. The latter, though several miles farther, is much more interesting. The ride over the ridge affords cue of the most extensive views of natural scenery to be found in this vicinity. Another route is afforded the excursionist by tu ruing off a mile beyond tlie North Castine post-offi.ce and going to Winslow's Cove, in Penobscot. From there he can continue on to Bluehill mountain, which is nine liundred and fifty feet in height and which has been visible nearly all the way from Castine, or he can return through the town of P>rooksville and across the ferry to North Cas- tine. The Bluehill ride is chiefly remarkable fur the number of steep hills to be surmounted. The climb up the mountain is a hard, sharp pull, but the outlook is IValks and Drives. 95 magnificent, aiul a. most charming view of the Mount Desert hills and the bays and points of that portion of the Maine coast is a sufficient reward. Two interesting all-day trips can be made to the town of Brooksville. One can take the ferry-scow on Sea street, near the steamboat wharf, and be towed across by steamer to the landing near the Avharf at High Head, and from there can go over a pleasant road through the fields, past the cemetery on the hill, to Indian Bar. This has a fine water view on either side, and is an ideal spot for a clam-bake. The road to Goose Falls is over steep and rocky hills, which might be cause for alarm were it not for the proverbial carefulness of Castine drivers. An old-fashioned house, with its profusion of creeping-jenny, hollyhocks, and other garden flowers, is not to be over- looked; nor the picturesque falls, with a salt pond on one side and tide-mill on the other. A side road just beyond the bridge leads to an abandoned copper-mine which flourished a brief time during the mining craze which prevailed in the county a few years ago. The road from this point for a long distance keei:)s the bay in sight, and commands a splendid view of both water and mountain scenery. At Spirit Cove a short bit of steep and tortuous road is experienced, and then for a time the bay disappears from view. A side road leaving the highway at the right of a small school-house leads to one of the most beautiful views of the bay in the whole drive. The road is in places hardly more than a field-cart track. After leav- ing the school-house, the main road descends to a fine stretch of beach whicli it crosses just at high-water mark. 96 Modern Cashne. At the end of the beach is a delightful spot where a lunch can be taken and the horses fed. A short distance farther brings one to Blake's Point, and discloses the bay, studded with islands, Eggemoggin Reach stretching off to the eastward, with Pumpkin Island light at its en- trance, Little Deer Isle on the right, and the high and wooded coast of Brooksville on the left. At the fork of the roads the one to the left leads back to the one already traversed. The right-hand road, passing near a swamp of rushes, an oak grove, a view of Horse-shoe Creek, glimpses of Lawrence Bay and a vista of Castine, leads to the Buck's Harbor road. To the left, a long up-hill climb brings one to the West Brooksville ridge, where a splendid view is obtained of Lawrence Bay, Castine Har- bor, the Penobscot Bay and its western shore. From here the return home is to be made by way of the village and across the ferry to North Castine. The passage across this ferry is rather slower than the one tirst taken, as tlie motive power is a man sculling, assisted, when the wind permits, by a sail attached to the side of the boat. Another Brooksville drive is by way of the ferry just described, down over the ridge to where the road turns to go to Cape Rosier. At this point the road to the left is taken to Orcutt's Harbor, and a little farther on is Buck's Harbor, where a little lone island is to be seen which was formerly supposed to belong to the town of Castine, and is so represented on several maps, but which until quite recently was the property of the State. I^ext comes Kench's mountain, a steep, rocky hill, bald for the most part, with perpendicular cliffs. Here is an inter- esting and important granite quarry. Beyond is Walk- NORTH CASTINE AND BROOKSVILLE FERRY. Yachting, Fishing, and Canoeing. 97 er's Pond with its smooth beaches and qniet waters. From here the return shouhl be made up the road which skirts the Bagaduce as far as the bridge, and from there to the North Castine ferry. The time occupied in taking any one of the drives mentioned will not be misspent, and the reader is assured that any one of these trips will almost certainly lead to others. YACHTING, FISHING, AND CANOEING. To those fond of yachting and rowing, the river and harbor have the merit of being exceptionally safe, at proper times, for boats of all descriptions. Sudden squalls, sucli as are often fatally experienced near high mountains, are extremely rare here, and when they do occur, can always be discovered by a careful boatman before they have time to reach him. Good boats, safe to go in to Isle-au-Haut or Bar Harbor, and with a trusty sailing-master, can readily be obtained. Sonre of them are of superior speed. The Castine Yacht Club offers prizes annually for the best sailing-boats, and this excites the yachtsmen to a keen competition. This har- bor is a frequent port of entry, during the summer, for yachts of all descriptions cruising along the Maine coast. No less than one hundred and ten different yachts visited the place the last year. A club-house for the reception of visitors, as well as for the meetings of its niembers, is soon to be established here. Row-boats of good construction and perfectly safe are abundant, and can be obtained for a reasonable price. One Avishing to fish for cunners, tomcod, or mackerel can obtain a boat fitted for the purpose with lines and 98 Modern Castine. Lait, and with or without an assistant, as preferred. Those desirous of deep-sea fishing will have to make ar- rangements for a more protracted cruise. This locality offers line opportunities for the expe- rienced canoeist. Besides short excursions about the numerous coves of the Bagaduce, several long trips can be taken. Canoes have gone up the Penobscot and East rivers, and with only two " carries " have entered Ala- moosook Pond. It is believed to be entirely feasible, though the trips have never been taken, to go to Brewer from Orland, Avithout entering the Penobscot river, or to go to Bluehill, and possibly to Ellsworth, by crossing from pond to pond. The most delightful trip of all, however, and one which is annually taken, is to follow up the Bagaduce river through the lower narrows, cross Southern bay, and pass up through Johnson's narrows to the dam. Here a short '' carry " must be made, unless one is reckless enough to shoot through the sluice. After getting above the dam the course is still up the river until its source is reached in a brook coming from Walker's Pond. This brook meanders through a meadow, and for most of its length is lined with rushes which at times approach so closely that the passage has to be effected by force. On arriving at the jnill a second " carry " must be made for about one-fourth of a mile. Then follows a two-mile paddle across the pond to a beach of tine white sand. Then another " carry " of about half a mile, when the canoe is again floated, but this time in the waters of Eggemoggin Eeach. If the day is calm, the paddle for four miles past Buck's and Onnitt's harbors, to the Yachting, Fishing, and Canoeing. 99 mouth of Horse-slioe Creek, is easily and safely made. The trip up this creek is inexpressibly fine. Any ordinary description would be tame in comparison with the reality. The drive along the shore, though consid- ered the most picturesque of any in this vicinity, is not to be compared to it. On reaching the upper end of the creek the fourth and last " carry '' occurs. The canoe has to be taken across the field to the highway, car- ried anotlier half-mile or more, and again placed in the water at Polly Coots' Cove, an inlet of Lawrence Bay. Three miles moi'e of paddling brings the canoeist home. This trip should only be undertaken by an experienced person, and even tlien the time of starting shovild be duly considered Avith reference to the tides, and should only be taken when tlie breezes are light. The passage across Eggemoggin Eeach would be a dangerous one if made when the sea is not calm. At times unsuitable for walks or drives, for boating or other forms of out-door amusement, a good bowling-alley and a public billiard and pool room will offer attractions to many. The former is located on one of the wharves, and the other is at tlie foot of Main street. CHAPTER III. HOTELS, STEAMBOAT ROUTES, AND CONNECTIONS WITH THE RAILROADS. /^ASTINE in the olden time was noted for its good ^-^ taverns. It has far better ones to-day under the more dignified name bf hotels. Two of these are kept open throughout the year. The other is open only in the summer. The latter, the Acadian, is on the slope of the hill directly back from Steamboat Wharf. Its rooms are of good size and well furnished, and nearly all of them have a fine outlook. This liotel accommodates about one hundred guests, and furnishes table board for many more. The Pentagciet, on the corner of Main and Perkins streets, is a new hotel, having been occupied a little over a year. Its situation is central, the rooms are of good size, and those looking down the street, especially those in the tower, afford delightful views of the water and distant landscape. The Castine House, on Main street, nearly opposite the Pentagoet, has some twenty rooms. It is jDrobably the oldest building in town. It is not quite so stylish as its rivals, and is more like an old-time inn. It. has a cosey, home-like appearance, and is popular with commercial travellers. There are many good private boarding-houses in toAvn, Hotels, Steamboat Routes, Etc. 101 though none of them advertise as such. In fact, Castine is peculiar in that respect. Nearly all of its best citizens now take, or have at some time received, boarders into their families, and do not consider tlieir dignity at all lessened thereby. They do it nearly as much for the sake of the general good to the town as for private gain. A few individuals treat their boarders as would be done in our cities, but the majority receive them into their families, and expect a greater or less compliance with their own regular habits and customs. Telegraph and telephone offices permit of instant com- munication with the outside world, and the mail goes and comes daily. It still goes by stage, the nearest rail- road connection, by land, being some eighteen miles dis- tant ; but the trip, in summer, is made in fair time, and though the line is a discredit to the government, yet the mail is no longer carried as it was in the last century, in a yellow handkerchief or in a cart drawn by a horse and a heifer yoked together. In the summer there is an addi- tional daily mail carried by steamer. The post-office is an international money-order office. There is daily communication by steamer with Belfast all the year, and in summer the trips are made twice a day. The "Frank Jones," tire "Catherine," and the " Juliette " permit, during the summer, of daily com- munication with Eockland. The former connects with the Maine Central Railroad, and the other two with the Boston and Bangor steamers. They also run to Bluehill and Ellsworth. There is also a daily line each way between Castine, Bangor, and Bar Harbor. In addition, a small steamer makes daily trips to Penobscot, and 102 Modem Castine. carries excursions about the harbor, and another similar one runs between Bucksport and Castine. During the height of the summer travel no less than seven steamers, besides those carrying special excursions, touch daily at the wharf. This number is hardly exceeded by any place on the Maine coast, so that during the months of greatest travel the inconvenience of having no railroad facilities is scarcely felt. The traveller from Boston or beyond has the choice of several routes. He can take the cars to Rockland and come up on the "Frank Jones" to Belfast, and by steamer the short trip of only twelve miles across the bay ; to Bangor and down the river on the " Cimbria " or the " Sedgwick ; " or to Bucksport, and thence by private conveyance to Castine, giving an eighteen-mile drive. If he prefers to come all the way by water, he can take the Boston and Bangor line of steamers to either Rockland or Belfast, as he may prefer, and thence by connecting steam- boats to this place. Whichever route is taken, by rail, the inexperienced traveller Avill do well to ascertain the exact time at which connection is made for this town, as a mistake in regard to his train would cause inconvenience, and perhaps compel him to stop overnight at some other point. Railroad time-tables change so much from year to year, that no fuller or more permanent directions can be tjiven. GENERAL INDEX. A. Acadia, ceded to the French, 1). Rival claims for. .
