Thus, here and there, one stumbles upon individuals or small communities who have chosen to live out in the harbor. But one cannot help wondering how such beauty spots have escaped being more loved and lived upon by men and women who recognize the romantic lure which only an island can possess. THUS HERE AND THERE ONE STUMBLES UPON INDIVIDUALS OR SMALL COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE OUT IN THE HARBOR BUT ONE CANNOT HELP WONDERING HOW SUCH BEAUTY SPOTS HAVE ESCAPED BEING MORE LOVED AND LIVED UPON BY MEN AND WOMEN WHO RECOGNIZE THE ROMANTIC LURE WHICH ONLY AN ISLAND CAN POSSESS
heated cheeks, but the forever bewitching passage of vessels in and out, furnishes endless entertainment. They know well, these laughing pleasure-seekers, crowding the piers and boats and wharves and beaches, where to come for refreshment, and now and then, in the history of the harbor, a solitary individual has taken advantage of the romantic charm which is the unique heritage of every island, and has built his home and lived, at least some portion of his days, upon one. Apple Island, that most perfectly shaped little fleck of land of ten acres, was the home of a Mr. March, an Englishman who settled there with his family, and lived there happily until his death, being buried at last upon its western slope. The fine old elms which adorned it are gone now, as have the fine old associations. No one followed Mr. March's example, and Apple Island is now merely another excursion point. On Calf Island, another ten-acre fragment, one of America's popular actresses, Julia Arthur, has her home. ZES SWEEP THEIR CITY HEATED CHEEKS BUT THE FOREVER BEWITCHING PASSAGE OF VESSELS IN AND OUT FURNISHES ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT THEY KNOW WELL THESE LAUGHING PLEASURE SEEKERS CROWDING THE PIERS AND BOATS AND WHARVES AND BEACHES WHERE TO COME FOR REFRESHMENT AND NOW AND THEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE HARBOUR A SOLITARY INDIVIDUAL HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE ROMANTIC CHARM WHICH IS THE UNIQUE HERITAGE OF EVERY ISLAND AND HAS BUILT HIS HOME AND LIVED AT LEAST SOME PORTION OF HIS DAYS UPON ONE APPLE ISLAND THAT MOST PERFECTLY SHAPED LITTLE FLECK OF LAND OF TEN ACRES WAS THE HOME OF A MISTER MARCH AN ENGLISHMAN WHO SETTLED THERE WITH HIS FAMILY AND LIVED THERE HAPPILY UNTIL HIS DEATH BEING BURIED AT LAST UPON ITS WESTERN SLOPE THE FINE OLD ELMS WHICH ADORNED IT ARE GONE NOW AS HAVE THE FINE OLD ASSOCIATIONS NO ONE FOLLOWED MISTER MARCH'S EXAMPLE AND APPLE ISLAND IS NOW MERELY ANOTHER EXCURSION POINT ON CALF ISLAND ANOTHER TEN ACRE FRAGMENT ONE OF AMERICA'S POPULAR ACTRESSES JULIA ARTHUR HAS HER HOME
