PICTURESQUE SHORE LINE. 
There is probably on all the Atlantic 
seaboard no more interesting bit of 
coast line than the short stretch of 
fifteen miles or thereabouts between 
Beverly and Gloucester. 
NORMAN’S WOE. 
It appeals in no uncertain way to 
the lover of the beautiful and the pict- 
uresque in nature ; to the lover of the 
historic and the legendary it has asso- 
ciations of uncommon interest ; to the 
admirer of the best things in our lit- 
erature it has rare charms; and to the 
scientist, tracing the development of 
the earth through prehistoric days and 
the glacial periods, it has a fascina- 
tion second to none other. 
BEVERLY, MASS., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1904 
From the time one leaves Beverly, 
passing out around Hospital Point, 
until the anchor is dropped in the 
waters of Gloucester harbor, the sail 
is one of never-ending delight. The 
coast abounds in rocky promontories 
where the spray dashes high as the 
Three Cents 
To the scientist, Rafe’s Chasm, in 
which the waters, when the sea is high, 
rush with a resounding roar, has many 
lessons; and the ‘‘singing”’ sands of 
the beach at Manchester are the cause 
of much interest. 
To the lover of the beautiful, it 
turbulent waves strike the 
rough and jagged rocks, sandy 
beaches than which no better 
can be found anywhere, and 
historic spots where events 
that have made history have 
taken place. And in the back- 
ground, the beautiful green of 
the treeson thenumerous hills, 
with here and there a beautiful 
summer residence nestling be- 
tween seeming to add rather 
than to detract from the beau- 
ties which nature has lavished 
here with so bountiful a hand. 
To the lover of the legend- 
ary, Mingo beach has a charm 
KETTLE ISLAND FROM THE BLYNMAN. 
from its connection with Robin , 
Mingo, the first Negro slave in Bever- 
ly, the property of Thomas Wood- 
berry, and who in 1707 married an In- 
dian bride. 
And down off Magnolia Norman’s 
Woe, made famous in Longfellow’s 
poem, “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” 
attracts the attention of the tourist. 
RAFE’S CHASM. THE FLUME. 
CRESCENT BEACH. 
would be hard to single out one spe- 
cial spot for admiration. The harbor 
at Magnolia, with Kettle Island in the 
foreground, and the crescent beach, 
is a charming spot. The harbor at 
Manchester, winding in like a serpent 
and shooting out its little inlets, 
Smith’s Point, Hospital Point, and in 
fact the entire coast line — every inch 
of it has charms that can be found only 
on the North Shore, and which has 
made the name of the North Shore 
famed throughout the entire country. 
It is this marvellous beauty of the 
shore, its numerous bays and inlets, 
studded with picturesque islets; its 
rocky headlands, with intervening 
stretches of sandy beaches, its harbors 
where safe anchorage may be found, 
and all these combined with a back- 
ground of wooded hills, and valleys 
through which beautiful drives wind 
in and out over hill and dale, through 
woods and meadow land, which has 
attracted to our North shore the 
wealth of the country. 
From all over the United States, 
wealthy people are coming in. greater 
numbers each year, to spend their 
summers here, where nature’s beauties 
invite to rest and relaxation.
