A little farther towards the north is Rouses' Hummock, quite a high, wooded knoll that was named for one of the first settlers in' earlv times. The beach in front of the hummock was selected in 1869 as the landing place of the French cable and until recently afiforded cable connections wi^h St. Pierre, Mk\. , and Brest, France. In range wi^h Rouses' Hummock is Powder Point, an early settlement of the town, where the Ezra Westons carried on their large businesses. The wharf is still there, and s...ome of the buildings, now the property of Mr. F. B. Knapp. In the same range is the mouth of Bluefish River, named early in the settlement. It is a tidal river heading in the marshes back of the village, but also fed by brooks coming from the in- terior of the town. Shipyards were along the lower part of this river, and it was here above the bridge on Washington Street that the shipping was hauled up the river in the 1812 War, to 25 Historic Duxbury. Get it out of the way of an attack by boats from English frigates that were cruising outside the Gurnet.
