Excerpt from Olde Cascoe: Ye Romance of Casco Bay

It is with hesitant and uncertain step one betakes himself backward into days obliterate as to their living except where some tradition lingers in the semi-obscurity of some musty historical record. The once luminous high-lights of the seventeenth century have dimmed into the far-off glimmer of unfamiliar stars, hardly discernible with the unaided vision, - islands on the distant marge of unknown waters, charted by unknown hands, that come and go like the mirage of the desert.
