The Motor Boat Lagoon. 



Lower down is the big stone pier, also quarry tiled, its 

 centre excavated for a land-locked lagoon about 20 x 30 feet 

 where a motor boat can berth in absolute safety. The pier is equipped 

 with boat davits, diving plank, floating platform reached by steps, 



A LOUNGING CORNER ON YACHT PIER. 

 BELVEDERE AND SWIMMING POOL. 



and heavy galvanized iron rings for fastening boats. A brass 

 railed platform and adjustable yacht steps hang from the wall of the 

 lagoon. One end of the pier is covered with an awning on galvanized 

 iron frame and single tiled steps are placed at regular intervals among 

 the rough rocks that edge the Sound, that safety may not be sacrificed 

 to the picturesque. An iron roller inset in the edge of the pier 

 readily handles small boats without injury. At one end of the beach 

 is rigged a convenient set of ways, with block and tackle fastened in 

 the rocks, so that a motor boat or even a large yacht can be warped- 

 out.
