July fifteenth please Heap of love to your and unil all We left Newport Tuesday morning at 10:30- stood out of the boy at twelve knots all by ourselves. The Third Division followed us out in a few minutes and were visible on the horizon for the remainder of the day, but as we were independent of them we did not pay any attention to them. It was pretty cool Tuesday night and Wednesday, so the uniform was mode blues It kept getting warmer all the time and when we anchored in Bar Harbor at 4 o'cloch yesterday afternoon it was real warm. we had to weave in and out among many little islands all covered solid with fir trees. we anchored close in to the beach and can see the little town and beautiful summer homes plainley. I never saw a fines piece of scenery in all my life than it is from our anchorage The little city of Bar Harbor is right along the sheltered piece of beach between higher ground on either side, all density wooded. and rising right behind the outskirts of the city is a good sized mountain which spreads out in gradual descent until it rooches the watersloge. So you see it forms a natural pocket and in this lies the city. There are two good seind islands which form a natural gateway to the quiet harbor inside. They are of a grayish shale formation and in epite of the total obscance of earth the pine and fir trees hang on to them to the last square fool of space. There are all binds and descriptions of summer houses here. Some are modesh little bungalour with vine clod parches peaking out from behind the growth of stubling firs, while others are great stone mansions with many gables and Chimneys which denote fireplaces within and awell groomed lawns of several acres displacement spriads out green and tempting to the eye money Fancy hedges line the drives and walks while flowers beds of many colored blossoma bend their beauty to the ocene. The beach is rough and rocky and only for a few feet of send between the rocks and lawns, the nurse girls and their little charges would be out of luch for a place to play, But as it is, they Can be seen all along this sandy stritch I watched them through a glass this morning and saw some little ones just like "chassie "and his brother and "Sittie". I dept on the upper bridge and this morning I woke up with the seen shining warm and bright on the finest picture that any one ever saw It was one of those still clear mornings and just Cool enough to make the sun feel pleasant The different shades of green up the hill showed sides and the gray spots y roch that should through all blended together like a Painting The town was net asleep and not a thing moved that I saw for the several minutes that I gayed. Two little white steamers were trid up alongside the weather besten old doch, the fointest showing of smoke curling up from their stocks. It was even too early for them you see, for they are very busy little boats and make several trips a day between here and Eden, a larger town somewhere type the Coast. numerous yochete and fishing craft lay at anchor behind a home made breakwater of rough rocks yes, muggie I never saw anything quite so- pretty and pleasing in all could have seen it, and the blue my life and only wished you hope which hangs ones the hills, it looks like when you and me was down to aunt Deals. There is a big floch fsea gulls which are more than glad we come in here, as they have a great feach after each each meal hour, flying around and around the ship and dipping every now and then to dinty grab a piece of bread or some other damLis morsel from the surface 4 the water. They are all marked alike, white bodies and wings, with a touch of brown on their necks and wing tips.
