and picturesque little streams. The scenery in this district is really very fine. A pretty bit is Campbell's Cove where there is a break-water built in 1872. which forms a shelter for fishing boats and such small craft. Hither came two American artists in 1885. who took many sketches of sea, sky and sand beach in the vicinity.

Starting from St. Columba's church. a drive of seven mile:awethard brings one to the very East Point, where resides Alexander B. Beaten Esq.. J.P. Mr. Boston's family was among the first of those who settled at the East Point. They came from lochsber, Scotland. and on their arrival in Prince Edward Island rented the 'Stukely' farm at Hbrell. Later they removed to the East Pbint. whence one branch of the family migrated to Cape Breton. Mr. Beaton is in charge of the lighthouse. and an order from him will admit anyone to the clean and well kept tower, the brightness of which does credit to the keeper. Mr. Burge. The light is white and revolving. It is visible seventeen miles out to sea. Here is also a fine fog alarm. built in 1885. It is double fitted. and the whistle can be heard at a distance of sixteen miles. The lighthouse was built in 1867. but formerly stood further to the westward. It has lately been removed to the very edge of the Point.

The terrible reef. which extends out into the water for two and a half miles, has been the cause of many shocking disasters. Here in 1822. was wrecked the emigrant ship I'St. Domingo". a number of whose passengers landed and permanently settled upon the East Point. The last survivor of these was Mrs Moses Harris. who died.in the summer of 1886. at the age of one hundred and four years. So lately as 1882. there was a costly wreck at the East Point, when on the night of the 12th November. H.M.S.'Phoenix' struck the cruel reef. The crew and officers who all landed in safely, found shelter in a large canning establishment. where for some time they remained making the solitudes of East Point gay with their presence. As.a rule there has.not been much loss of life in the wrecks

off this dangerous coast. though there are exceptions. as in the case of a

fisherman from Canseau. named Smery. who was picked up dead on the reef and buried
