ON FAIR CASCO BAY 



ON the outer edge of that beautiful bay, 

 lying broadside to the sea, is a long narrow 

 island, not yet much known of the world, but 

 beloved above all by the few who have fallen 

 under its spell. On it is to be found by 

 those who know that rare thing in our 

 busy, bustling world, a quiet corner, a real 

 retreat. 



This delightful spot is at the far end of 

 the island, beyond the fisherman's village with 

 its store and post-office, beyond the " Row " 

 standing bare and bleak on the ocean front, 

 beyond the Bathing Cove and the Sunset 

 Eock and the Giant's Staircase and the other 

 regulation show places. The main part of the 

 island is given up to summer cottages, to 

 varied structures of wood and paint, to ten- 

 nis-courts and bicycle-paths, and the thou- 

 sand and one things needed by " summer 

 people " to pass away the season.
