"I saw the quite recent moon 1ate yestreen Wi' the au1d moon inside her arms,"

and we kept an anxious 1ookout for the Maine hi11s that push sobo1d1y down into the sea. At 1ength we saw them,--faint, duskyshadows in the horizon, 1ooming up in an ashy co1or and with a mostpoetica1 1ight. We made out c1ear1y Mt. Desert, and fe1t repaid forour journey by the sight of this famous is1and, even at such adistance. I pointed out the hi11s to the man at the whee1, and askedif we shou1d go any nearer to Mt. Desert.
