Esther’s Retreat. As may be inferred 
from the names, these objects are precip- 
itous cliffs, caves, arched rocks, or coni- 
cal peaks. The most impressive are: 
Point Lookout, a sheer precipice on the 
southeast side of the island, from which 
a far-reaching view can be obtained; it 
is an angle of the cliffs, and its summit 
s about two huudred feet above the ley- 
el of the lake. The Arch Rock is an 
abutment and arch thrown out from the 
main body, or rather cut off from the 
main cliff, at nearly a right angle with 
it. Itssummit is one hundred and fifty 
feet above the lake, the spring of the 
arch is one hundred and ten feet, and 
the span about ninety feet. The arch 
is three feet wide, and 
visitors often cross, 
though the feat is 
trying to the nerves. 
The Sugar Loaf is 
an isolated limestone 
rock, of conical shape, 
some eighty feet high, 
standing near the cen-

of some considerable 
difficulty. Thereis a 
cave in its side about 
one-third of its height 
from the base, large 
enough to accommo- 
date half a dozen per- 
sons. <A sail into the 
Straits of Mackinac 
on a calm day is one 
of the most romantie, 
not only by reason of 
its surroundings, but

ciations to which ref- 
ence has been made. 
From the offing, the town is seen stretch- 
ed along a semi-circular shore under the 
bluff, very much as Little Traverse vil- 
lage lies. Three parallel streets occupy 
the level longitudinally, while the ram- 
parts of Fort Mackinac crown the cliffs 
behind. The fortifications are white- 
washed and being embedded with foliage 
are most picturesque. Several tasty
