     owing to the increased patronage was necessary, and the 
     
     hotel now affords room for about one hundred guests. 
     
    
   
   
    
     One of the most beautiful scenes perhaps of the whole 
     
     Island is thus described by the graphic, pen of the visitor 
     
     heretofore quoted, and one beheld nearly every evening 
     
     from the Piazza of the “Seaside’;” “ is when about one 
     
     hundred of the white sailed fishing boats, with their tirul 
     
     ere“ 5, come into the harbour every sunset, each boat as she 
     
     comes to anchor in the quiet haven inside the bar dropping 
     
     her snowy sails, as avbird folds its weary wings at twilight, 
     
     er a child sinks to rest on. its mothers breast. The breeze 
     
     ‘lies away, the sea callus down, mystic twilight soft as an 
     
     angels blessing, steals sion ly over the scene merging into 
     
     {he darker hours of night, till all is hid from view but the 
     
     Faithful lamp of the lighthose, the twinkling farm lights 
     
     on the hillsides, the watch lights of the boat-s. and the 
     
     silvery harbor whose surface is touched and glorified by

     Another beautiful scene for thou who rise with the sun, 
     
     is the starting out of the fishing fleet. Under a cloud of 
     
     white canvas, ‘they leave the harbor together, and by the 
     
     time they have scattered and reached the various fishing 
     
     grounds the round of sweet holiday has again commenced
