Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Haven Line of Steamers Leaving behind us the never ceasing hum of busy life on shore, the brain racking rattle of the great Metropolis.

The height of span above mean high water at the centre is 135 feet and at' the piers 119 feet. It was built at a cost of fifteen million dollars.

Ten minutes before they arrived the captain came out and took his usual chair in the usual spot under the shadow of the station. He was not a handsome man. He was strong, rugged, picturesque, but not handsome. Six feet high and two hundred pounds in weight, he was an epic in hardened flesh and muscle. His face was as full of lines as an etched portrait His general appearance offered a contrast to every rule of a fashion-plate, and he appeared like some big shaggy animal that was particularly lazy because it was especially strong. On this occasion the captain's eyes were half-reefed, and they looked over an expanse of sand on which low houses were built, and saw the smoke of passing steamers that crept along the horizon. It was peaceful, but it was n't much of a view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"Casco Bay," the weather-beaten old skipper explained, as he waved his hand towards the blue North. "Yes," he assented lazily - and resumed his reading. The sharp old eyes - New England eyes - snapped impatiently. "I was raised on one of them islands," the skipper informed him.
