of interest to note that this was the same year in which the Island 

 was granted by Massachusetts to John Brewer. Locally a legend of 

 the Enoch Arden type is told of Haliker and his wife. 



(220) The wish here expressed icas almost a prophecy, as evinced 

 by the very appropriate and successful celebration held at the Island 

 on June 15, 1904. A very full account of the proceedings is contained 

 in the Ter-Centena^y volume published by the Maine Historical Society, 

 as noted on an earlier page. It may be added that the inscription on 

 the bronze tablet dedicated that day was composed, with some sugges- 

 tions from the Committee in charge of the celebration and others, 

 by Mr. James Vroom of St. Stephen, N. B.

 No. 16), but unfortunately the map is not sufficiently accurate to enable 

 the location to be fixed at once with certainty. Below Sandy Point 

 there are actually two small valleys, (aside from a deep gully on the 

 point itself), both dry in summer though having small streams in 

 wet times, either of which might correspond with the stream shown 

 on Champlain. After very carefully examining the ground, however, 

 I have concluded the gardens were beside the uppermost of the two 

 streams, and for these reasons. First, the ground beside the upper 

 valley, which is larger than the lower, is a low gently- sloping up- 

 land of excellent soil, now a good hayfleld, while the corresponding 

 ground beside the lower valley is a much higher, rougher, clayey and
