had rejected the truth, and they would see signs, but not unto
salvation.

Vinal Haven includes both North and South Fox Island is
in Lat. 44°, Long 69° 10 '. The inhabitants are generally healthy,
industrious and hospitable to strangers, the people obtain most of
their wealth and living by fishing, and fit out annually over one
hundred licensed vessels, beside many smaller crafts. The north
Island is 9 miles long and 2 wide; population 800, a post office,
a store, a grist mill, 4 school houses, and a small branch of the
baptist church; the land is rather rocky and rough, yet there are
many good farms which produce good wheat, barley, oats, potatoes and
grass; the principal timber is fir, spruce, hemlock and birch,
rasp and goose berry grow in great abundance, sheep are the
principal stock.

South Fox island comes as near being without any form
as anthing I ever saw, and it would be difficult for a historian
to give a description of it, it is about 10 miles long and 5
wide, and is one universal ^a^ mass of rocks, much of it ^principally^ granite,
formed into shelves, hills, hollows, and cut up into nooks, ^nooks^ points
and canons ^ravines.^ to make room for the ^by^ coves and harbors, which run through
and through the island, population 1,000.

I do not recollect of ever seeing a horse on either itsland,
there are some small patches ^of land^ under cultivation, but it is at the
expense of great labor and toil,. Many ^resident^ fish^ermen,^ ^fish^ at New Foundland,
^&^ bring their fish ^them^ home, and dry them upon flakes; they annually
supply the market with a great amount of codfish, mackerel and
boxed herring. The latter island contains two stores, three tide saw
mills, 6 school houses, a small branch of the Methodist church and
a priest. The timber is pine, fir, spruce, hemlock and birch,
also gooseberries, raspberries, and whortleberries and upland cranberries; bushes
and timber grow in a great measure out of the crevices of the rocks.

There is a great amount and variety of fish in the waters
coves and harbors around these islands, such as ^vizt:—^ whale, black fish,
shark, ground shark, pilot fish, horse mackarel, sturgeon, salmon,
Holloboat cod, Pollock, tom cod, hake, haddock, mackarel, shad
