Illustrated with sketches by Captain Albert Lyman. {\textquotedblleft}The character of the country at the mouth of the river is bold, wild and unfriendly in its aspect, and impresses one with a feeling of loneliness.  Low sand spits confine the river as it mingles with the ocean to a narrow and well defined channel, and hold the commodious harbor in their embrace. . . At a short distance from the mouth the river swells northward, forming Wood{\textquoteright}s and Winchester Bays, both small indentations: the former the usual place of anchorage, and the latter noted for the abundance of fish and shell-fish it furnishes.{\textquotedblright}  (p.332)  The Library of Congress has posted online illustrations from this article.},
