shaft and branches thrown out at angles of about 

 forty-five degrees ; with beautiful fan-like leaves that 

 make you think of the maiden-hair fern. 



From the ginkgo tree, following the border of the 

 "island" back now toward the Arch, stands English

 the bank. 



This completes our reconnaissance of the island 

 and we leave it by the path which, branching from 

 the right as you go from Meadow Port Arch, climbs 

 up a little rise beyond the ginkgo and finally comes 

 out at the Plaza. At Thatched Shelter it forks again 

 to wreathe, in its leisurely rambling, another "island" 

 and flows together again a little further beyond. We

 hornbeam again and flowering dogwood. 



As the path flows together again and we follow
