CHAPTER: The South Shore of Lake Erie, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY J. DOUGLAS WOODWARD...., stating that peace had been declared between Great Britain and France, and ordering an immediate cessation of hostilities. Above the city the Detroit River curves to the eastward and enters Lake St. Clair.Here are long lines of lumber-barges with their tugs, schooners with their raking masts,leaning far over under a cloud of canvas, brigs with their high-lifted, aggressive sails,scows with their yellow wings spread widely to the breeze, and steamers coming up and passing them all in the evening race to the Flats, through whose narrow canal or tortuous channel one and all must pass before darkness comes, or lie at anchor until morning. On they sail through the golden afternoon—the red sunset and dusky twilight—andas they pass Fort Gratiot and enter the broad Lake Huron, night closes down on the dark water, lights are run up to the mast-heads of the steamers, the vessels twinkle in red and green, and Lake Erie, its scenery, history, and associations, vanish in dreams.
