Trolley trips through New England .. . lat marshes, the shim-mer of waves. The sea—the Sound, at least—one of the mostnoted of the worlds inland waters. The eyes of all seem to rest naturally on the blue water ofthe Sound, somnolent beneath the summer sun, a mighty water-way at peace. Tho thronged nightly by the great Sound steamers,carrying their human freight between New York and the shoretowns, and sprinkled with a score of twisting, flashing beaconlights, it sleeps at ease thro the long, quiet summer days. Afew fishing boats, a smack or two, perhaps the yacht of someManhattan multi-millionaire, and sometimes too the stealinggrey shape of one of the White Squadron, only accentuate thecharm of its quietude. East River, our next stop, is almost as famous for its oystersas Guilford for its clams. Another mile and we run down theelm-shaded street of old Madison, an attractive community. Aside road leads to Madison Beach, where are good hotels, andthe usual semi-fashionable white-flanneled summer life. ? •• NORWICH. New York to Boston via New London 53
