Excerpt from The Golden-Rod, Vol. 23: June, 1914 On this peaceful summer afternoon, as he looked down from the bluff, where his cabin rested like a bird's nest against the blue sky he and his knife seemed at peace with the whole world, -the stick he was whittling, the only suf ferer. He could see the river rush into the arms of the Sound, its black-looking waters clasping hands with the bluish green of its mother ocean. The smoke of a tow-boat. Passing, with its line of barges, hung lazily in the air, while the white wings of the seagulls flashed to and fro in the sunshine, as they crossed the river-mouth and circled the lighthouse at the breakwater.
