. Detroit and the pleasure resorts of northern Michigan. Compliments of passenger department . e Arch and Sugar-loaf rocksas particular examples of denuding action, and state that this denuding action, pro-ducing such an opening (as in the Arch), with other attending phenomena, could onlyhave operated while near the level of a large body of water like the great lake coincides with the views of Professor Winchell. Traces of water-action now seenon the vertical sides of these two rocks, two hundred feet above the level of the water,are precisely the same as those seen upon the rocks close by the waters edge. To allfond of natural curiosities, these two rocks alone possess attractions sutHcient to justifya visit \o the northern lakes. Skull Rock.—Noted as the place where Alexander Henry was secreted by theChippewa Chief, Wawatam, after the horrid massacre of the British garrison at OldMackinaw. The British Landing.—So named from the fact that Captain Roberts, with hismixed command of English, French and Indians, here disembarked his forces to takethe place in SUGAR LOAF, MACKINAC ISLAND. 80 RESORTS OF NORTHERN MICHIGAN. Scotts Gave.—This cave is underneath one of the huge rocks peculiar to Macki-nac. While inside this rock-roofed cavern, a peculiar sensation takes possession ofyou, and you are reminded of the scene described in the sixth chapter of Revelation,where the kings of the earth and the great men hide themselves in the dens and in therocks of the mountains, and say to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide usfrom the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: forthe great day of his wrath is come: and who shall be able to stand? In the vicinity ofthis cave are yet standing a few patriarchs of the forest, remnants of the heavy growthof timber which at an early day covered the island. Earlys Farm and the Devils Kitchen are also points of interest, and thetourist should not fail to visit them.
