Our host took pleasure in telling us the names of the ponds, most of which we could see from his windows, and making us repeat them after him, to see if we had got them right. They were Gull Pond, the largest and a very handsome one, clear and deep, and more than a mile in circumference, Newcomb’s, Swett’s, Slough, Horse-Leech, Round, and Herring Ponds, all connected at high water, if I do not mistake.

The house is positioned between freshwater and salt. Sitting on the deck you will hear ocean waves breaking in the distance and Gull Pond lapping at the canoe landing thirty steps away.
