DISTANT POINTS VISIBLE FROM MT. WASHINGTON. 345 



difficulty of distinguishing distant water, and partly because the atmosphere in this 

 direction seems generally to be somewhat thicker than elsewhere. 



Lake Sebago : distance 43 miles, position south 48° east, and over Mt. Gemini. It 

 is 14 miles long, and about 11 wide. 



Mt. Agamenticus : distance 80 miles, position south 24° cast. A flat rounded hill 

 of considerable height in the southern part of Maine, and forms a conspicuous land- 

 mark for sailors. 



Isles of Shoals : distance 97 miles, position south 22° east. They are very difficult 

 to see, and are situated on the horizon just to the right of Agamenticus. 



Mt. Wachusett: distance 126.5 miles, position south 13° west, and just to the right 

 of Whiteface, if it is visible. 



Mt. Monadnock: distance 104.5 miles, position south 22° west, and a little to the 

 right of Sandwich Dome. A very regular rounded summit. 



Mt. Kearsarge : distance 70 miles, position south 24° west, and half way between 

 Sandwich Dome and Carrigain. 



Mt. Uncanoonuc : distance 92 miles, position south 9° west, and half way between 

 Mts. Crawford and Passaconnaway. Twin summits near Manchester. 



Mt. Ascutney: distance 85 miles, position south 45° west. Situated in Windsor, 

 Vermont, close to the Connecticut river. 



Killington Peaks: distance 91 miles, position south 59° west, and between Mts. 

 Liberty and Blue. Twin peaked summits near Rutland, Vermont. 



CamePs Hump : distance 80 miles, position north 87° west, and just over Bethlehem 

 street. It is a striking looking mountain, shaped like a truncated cone, with very steep 

 sides. Readily visible at sunset on a clear day. 



Mt. Whiteface : distance 130 miles, position north 86° west. It is just barely visi- 

 ble, hardly rising above the right hand slope of Camel's Hump. This is one of the 

 highest of the Adirondacks, rising to a height of 4900 feet. Two lower peaks are seen 

 just to the right, and three more some distance to the left. These however have not 

 yet been identified, but if Mt. Marcy and any of the other higher summits are visible, 

 they should appear about 7° to the south of Whiteface, and nearly over the Fabyan 

 house. 



Mt. Mansfield : distance 78 miles, position north 78° west, and between the Twin 

 Mountain house and Mt. Deception. It is the highest of the Green Mountains, being 

 4300 feet high, and appears as a long ridge bearing a fancied resemblance to a human 

 face.
