Woe are several large dykes, besides 
Rafe’s Chasm, that are profitable for 
protracted study to the geologist and 
interesting to the casual observer. In 
one of these, fine specimens of epidote 
can be obtained. 
Going across the small bay from 
Magnolia, the next place of interest 
is Dana’s Beach. The beach is half a 
mile long, of fine white sand and 
backed by a curving line of rough and 
weathered granite. The sand upon 
this beach emits the same growl or 
grumble characteristic of the famous 
Singing Beach, which is separated

from it by a high protruding promon- 
tory called Eagle Head, from a tan- 
cied resemblance. It may not be out 
of place to pause here in our ramble 
to advance a theory in explanation of 
the peculiar properties of the sand. 
This theory is based upon the results 
obtained by many hours of patient 
investigation of the beach, in all 
kinds of weather, and an examina- 
tion with a good microscope. 
The particles of sand are nearly 
uniform in size,and mostly quartz. 
Every one shows the sharp and hack- 
led edges and the subconcoidal frac- 
ture of the vitreous varieties. All of 
the edges are extremely thin, and it 
seems reasonable that the peculiar 
sound known as “ singing”’ is caused 
by the friction of myriad corners and 
edges, by the impinging of thousands 
of particles and the snapping and 
fracture of their frail, brittle edges 
when the sand is violently stirred. 
Again, when the sand is wet, no 
sound is made; this is as it should be 
in accordance with the theory just ad- 
vanced, for when wet there is greater 
cohesiveness between the particles, 
just as between two wet sheets of 
glass ; they are not free to move, and 
tend to cling closer together when 
stepped upon rather than to rebound 
as when dry. Being surrounded with 
a cushion of water, they lose their 
elasticity, just as elastic balls do in 
the labaratory when wrapped in 
flannel. 
At the eastern end of Dana’s 
Beach is a chasm seventy-five feet 
long and thirty in depth; this dyke, 
or rather the matrix of a former dyke, 
extends northwest by southeast. Near 
this chasm is another vein of erup- 
tive rock, which is being rapidly dis- 
integrated. Already the trap has been 
removed several feet in depth, and a 
new chasm is being formed. Most of 
the dykes in this locality are parallel, 
but this one runs north ten degrees 
east, rather than due northwest. A 
few rods east of this vein is another 
of porphyry, which has a dip of twenty 
degrees to the north ; this corresponds 
both in dip and composition to the 
one at Magnolia, but differs from the 
accompanying strata, which dip forty 
degrees to the southeast. The strata 
are plainly to be seen along the main- 
land and on the little island just off 
the coast. Numberless veins of trap, 
varying from an inch to a foot in 
width, are pushed through the older 
rock, and give to the strata a banded 
appearance not unlike the agate. 
This is a wild, dreary spot in astorm, 
for the tide races and surges into 
these chasms, sending up between 
the boulders wedged in the top a dull 
and ponderous booming. Near the 
disintegrating dykes is a strip of sand, 
quick and somewhat treacherous, 
emitting a strong odor of hydrogen 
sulphide. The water which trickles 
through it is so charged with the gas
