A Month's Cruise— Maine. 
BY F. tu ENO. 
The next morning at Portland we laid in a fresh supply 
of provisions, straightened things out a bit, dried 
cushions, blankets, etc., and about noon, with a gentle 
southwest wind, stood down among the islands of Casco 
Bay. 
Here the fun begins. You have a harbor all the way, 
you might say as far as Mt. Desert, and every mile is a 
new delight. 
The numerous islands of all sizes, jutting headlands 
and peaceful farms, running to the water's edge, the many 
passing craft make a scene of constanl interest. 
I cannot say enough about Casco Bay; many a poet 
has tried his hand, far more facile and less tarry than 
mine, and has failed to do justice to its beauties, and I 
will not lapse into poetry. If I could not write poetry 
in Casco Bay, however, I should certainly never expect 
to be able to anywhere else. Some of the sunsets and 
cloud effects and the lights and shade on the wooded 
islands make me feel as though I must get up and yell. 
It is as refreshing as a cooling draught to drink in the 
calm beauty of these green islands and pine-clad shores, 
and sparkling bays and overhanging cliffs; and one lung- 
ful of that air — yea, one cubic inch of that fragrant, 
delicious, living air is worth a week of existing in a 
smoky city; and after breathing the mixture of strut that 
blows about Boston's streets one can appreciate an at- 
mosphere that seems born of the morning and saturated 
with the spice of tropic isles. My metaphor may be 
somewhat tangled, but you catch my meaning. 
The days slip by now as they dragged before, and are 
all too short. We anchored at Crow Island, went in 
swimming, took our sun bath on the hot rocks, then 
lunch, then sailed along by Cow Island, Basket, Cousins, 
Littlejohn's. Great Mosher's, Busting's, Bibber's, Upper 
Goose, Birch, Scrag, and dropped anchor off another 
Crow Island at the head of Middle Bay. 
Don't those names speak? The very words Birch 
Island, Whaleboat, Upper Flag. Haskell's, Ram, Eagle, 
if I heard them in Arizona, would blot out the immediate 
scene and show me beautiful wooded islands bathed alter- 
nately in sunshine, and shadow, sec like jewel's in the 
sparkling bay and the everlasting sea beyond. How 
those names satisfy! Why change Hog to Diamond, 
Bangs to Cushing? Alas! Maine is changing. Electrics 
and dudes and hotels and arc lights are doing their work, 
and the natural charm and unconventionality are disap- 
pearing before so much of the modern. You have to go 
further each year to escape the glare of electric lights 
and the clang of cars, and the new generation is awake 
.to the value of ancestral acres. But keep the names! 
Don't change Herring Gut (smell the fish?) and Isle au 
Haut (see the mountains?) to some easy to take hybrid 
which means nothing. 
Our anchorage this night was a peaceful, quiet bay, 
fifteen miles from the open sea. The one white farm- 
house, which proved to be a small hotel, gave an appear- 
ance of solid comfort and plenty which suggested milk; 
accordingly we paddled ashore, but finding none at the 
hotel, followed directions to the next house, an half mile 
distant. A knock at the side door (we never ventured to 
intrude upon the untrodden, almost sacred approach via 
the front hall .and parlor), brought the woman of the 
house, wiping her hands on her apron. 
"No, we hain't got any milk. The hotel folks take it 
all. But Capen G., just over the hill, most allers has 
some to spare." 
W # e proceed to Capt. G's. Same woman, wiping same 
hands on same apron. 
"Sorry, but we can't let you have any. The hotel folks 
take it all; but Widder S., jest up the road a piece, she 
has a cow, and she may have some." 
Another call at the side door. Woman, hands, apron. 
The Widow G. hadn't got any, either. 
Would you believe it, in that land flowing w'th milk 
and honey, as you would judge from the rich pastures 
sloping to the sea, and the cattle wandering over a 
thousand hills, we walked miles to find a half pint of 
milk, and the owner of that wouldn't sell it — he gave it 
to us. 
Finally, Mr. S., on the point, after the usual formali- 
ties of side door, w, h, a, took pity on our general appear- 
ance of starvation and despair, and gave us enough for 
morning coffee. 
"The hotel folks " he began. 
"I know," I said. "Don't finish it. I know. The 
hotel folks must be tanks. We have walked miles for 
this half pint. You are very kind. We had better get 
bade with it before it evaporates," 
But the beauty of the scene made us pause. After a 
year of city, paving and crowded street, these green fields 
and orchards and the capacious barns with that clean, 
glorious odor of cattle and hay, and the song of birds, 
and the hastening twilight over all made a pastoral- 
marine that seemed to bind us there. It rested the eye 
to look around, and we leaned against the fence while 
Farmer S. whittled and talked. 
"Some New York fellers was down here last spring 
and offered $10,000 apiece for ihem farms on the point, 
perviding they could git the whole of it. They wanted 
to make a club or suthin' out of it. But some wouldn't 
sell. Land is on the rise round here. There is only one 
drawback: that water," with a wave of his knife toward 
the bay, "all runs out pretty much twice a day, but a good 
many think it is healthy; think it changes the air. You 
won't find many places like this so handy to Portland." 
I took a look around at the neat lawn, well-kept 
buildings and grand view, and advised him to hang on to 
his cinch. The Maine farmers have their eyes open at 
last, and are alive to the fact, too late, some of them, 
that the rocky headland that "hain't good for nothing" in 
a farmer's eyes, is worth now, when a western capitalist 
sees it, more than the whole farm. 
Familiarity with coast and inlet, beach and point, serves 
to dull any appreciation of its value to a millionaire 
from the arid West, to whom the ocean and shore are 
like another world, and who can gratify his hunger for 
land and sea by a price ridiculously low to him and ab- 
normally high to the farmer. I remembered my cruises 
along here in '84 and '85, when land was worth about 
$5 an acre, and sighed. I might have bought 100,000 
acres as well as not. 
We lay that night in the snug harbor, motionless, "nec 
usus anchorse," or whatever it is, and the next day beat 
slowly down the bay in the light air and brought up in 
Mackerel Cove. 
You lose track of the days after a week or so among 
the islands. We went ashore one day to make some 
purchases, and were surprised to find the one store of 
which the village boasted, closed, and were still more 
surprised upon hunting up the proprietor, who lived hard 
by, to hear him say that he would open to oblige, but 
generally didn't on Sunday. The days go so fast that a 
week is nothing. Time passes very rapidly with us these 
days, and many a time when lying becalmed and doing 
absolutely nothing but lounging at the helm, looking at 
the mainmast or at the sea or at nothing at all, I am 
surprised to find that my guesses at the time are hours 
out of the way — always short. 
Mackerel Cove is an ideal spot; a perfect harbor, re- 
minding one a good deal of Marblehead turned square 
about facing southwest instead of northeast, with plenty 
of water. A high, barren neck of land on the northwest 
runs parallel with a beautiful heavily wooded shore on 
the southeast, which for a mile or more stretches to the 
open sea. 
We spent most of the afternoon on the outside of this 
southern shore, under the shade of the fragrant pines, 
gazing out upon the sea, and breathing air that would be 
worth a dollar a bottle in New York.
