White cat-boats and sloopsanchored near by bob briskly with thedesultoiT rise and fall of the breeze-roughened water. There are faint redlights struggling with the coming ob-scurity and the dying daylight on GoatIsland. Fort Adams is a dark and notunromautic mass of sombre lateral ex-tension. The cold has blended all col-ors into a harmony of frigid witchery.Familiar objects—the City ^^llarf, withan unloading coal-schooner alongside ;Algers and Groffs rickety piers ; thevast white mass of an Old Colonysteamboat lying next the end of LongWliarf ; the chimney of the toi-j^jedostation on Goat Island—take on a ro-mantic aspect as the accidents of apurely artistic and immaterial enaemble.An hour or two later the boat leaves forNew York. It is as hard to take it andleave this permanently enchanted spot,as if the season were midsummer. \ :l \ • J^i-^
