For the next fifteen miles, we fly across the town of Ossi-pee, over broad drift-plains, and past the shire-village of Carroll may even get a glimpse of dark Ossipee Lake (like the wildest partsof Norway, Harriet Martineau said of it), oval, transparent, heath-guarded,and for many years watched by the fortresses of Provincial the little Bearcamp River, so sweetly immortalized in Whittierspoetry, we quickly reach West , the end of the stage-routes from 16. 17 Centre Harbor and Chocorua Lake. Here, at last, we gain a noble and im-pressive view of the mountains, the great peaks of the Sandwich Range,stretching away along the Tamworth Valley, with the ponderous OssipeeMountains on the south. There rise the rocky cliffs of Whiteface, the grayledges of Paugus, the dark pyramid of Passaconaway, and the gloriousalpine spire of Chocorua, in many respects the most proud and symmetricalmountain-peak in all New England. Off in this valley, in Sandwich andMoultonborough and at Tamworth Iron-Works, there are several summerboarding-houses; and on the heights above the exquisite Chocorua Lakestands another, in a region sacred to the summercottages and broad woodland estates of a number of Boston families. Presently the train flies along the shore of Silver Lake, looking out overits curving sandy beaches and wooded islands, and up to the ancient andsequestered hamlet of Madison, on the hills to the northward
