A few miles south of Bar Harbor, facing the sea, is the open coveof Seal Harbor, with its modern summer-hotels and cottages; and twoor three miles bejond, around on the south side of Mount Desert,North-east Harbor cuts into the i-ocky shore, with another group ofhotels and artistic cottages, favored by the most beautiful views ofsea and shore, and saturated with the most tonic and invigorating to the west is the mouth of Somes Sound, tliat magnificent salt-water fiord which makes up for seven miles through the mountains, tothe quiet village of SomesAille. The next port on this joyous coast,in sight from North-east, is South-Avest Harbor, an old-time fishing-hamlet, now so favorite a place for summer-rest that half a dozen 139. 140 spacious hotels find profit, ami arc strimii along the harl)or-si(le fornearly a league, from the Claremont anil Island, near the steamboatAvharf, to the Ocean and Stanley, across the cove. In this delightfulregion there are scores of oljjective points for excursions,— tlie Sea-wall, Eclio Lake, Bass Harbor, FernakVs Point, Beech Mountain, andotlier inland drives, and tlie voyages up Somes Sound or across thestraits to the Cranl^erry Isles, populated b_v several hundred fishermen,and abounding in stories of the sea. On the west shore of MountDesert, toward Peuol)scot and Blue-Hill Bays, several small hamletsnestle at the heads of the coves; and among these are the summer-visited localities of Pretty Marsh and High Head. It would require a volume (and a very interesting one, too) todescribe tlie summer-resorts that surround Frenchmans Bay, on themainland, favored with views of tlie Mouut-Desert mountains muclifiner tliau those enjoyed by people on the Island
