Note 384 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
The writer has two sketches of the mountains as seen from Monhegan; yet the Maine Hist. Coll., vi. 295, inform the reader that “the White Mountains with an elevation above the level of the sea of 6,600 feet, being distant 110 miles, could not on account of the curvature of the earth be seen from the deck of the “Archangel,” even with a naked eye.”
