Cape Cod- a land of Pilgrim fame and of seafaring memories; a land of far horizons and of hundred beaches where the white surf rolls gently in; a land of passing ships, of the night patrol of the Coast Guard, of lighthouses blinking in the darkness, of old windmills, and of graceful gulls "drawing lines of beauty upon the sky"; a land of green marshes, of brown moors, of gray sand-dunes, and of resinous scented pines; a land of low-gabled homesteads over which the centuries have come and gone, and of old-fashioned gardens aflame with perennial blooms' a land of deep inlets, secluded ponds, peaceful harbors, and of tides that ebb and flow on ever-changing shores; a land that had its age of romance in the days when the clipper "Capt'ns" first carried the American ensign into the richest ports of the seven seas; this, by the large is old Cape Cod, now a land of new delight for the play people of summer world, a land where the blue begins, and the frets of life end.
