On the inland THE MONEY-DiaGERS AND OLD NICK. 169 side of the island, there is a grassy slope down to the water's edge, an i here is a little, round, quiet, harbor, where boats cai ride at anchor, or rest on the sandy beach in in pei :ect security. The island has been inhabited by a fjw fishermen, probably for a century, and, recently wc rks have been erected upon it for the manufactui'e of copperas and alum, the mineral from which these arti 3les are produced having been found there in great a...t :mdance. This island ha^ been renowned as a place for money- digging ever sii ce the first settlements were planted along the coast ; ind wild and romantic are the legends related by the o\ i dames, in the cottages of the fish- ermen, when so ne wind-bound passenger, who has left his vessel to 3pend the evening on shore, happens to make any inqi iry about the money-diggers. But of all these wild le^ endary narratives, probably there is none more authBntic, or supported by stronger or more undoubted testimony, than the veritable history herein recorded .nd preserved.
