The sliorter the line across the peninsula — its beginning on the Delaware side being fixed — t+ie better for Lord Baltimore, for the nearer would the centre of it be to the ocean, " And so here, again, his friends came to'^his aid, and insisted 'that Slaughter's creek — a channel separating Taylor's Island from the Chesapeake, gave the western terminus. But the Penns demanded that the line should be continued to the bay shore itself, from which the broad waters of the great esfuary stretched, ...unbroken by headland or island, to the remote and dim horizon. And again was Lord Hardwicke referred to. But, in the mean time, Lord Baltimore died, and the suit abated. When it was revived, and the heir [Frederick] of Lord Baltimore was made a party, he refused to be bound b}^ the acts of his ancestor. If, however, there was a^jy thing that could equal the faculties of the Marylanders in making trouble, it was the untiring perseverance with which the Penns devoted themselves to the contest, and followed their opponents in all their doublings.
