The Manahawkin braves armed themselves, and started in pur-\\nsuit. They arrived the night after the slaughter and found the victorious\\nwarriors singing and dancing in exultation of their victory. The Mana-\\nhawkin braves moved stealthily around to the eastern shore, where they\\ncaptured the canoes of the Leeds Point tribe, and, placing a guard over\\nthem, rushed in upon the unsuspecting revelers, slaying them on every hand.\\nThose of the enemy who fled to their canoes found them in the possession\\nof the guard, who killed every warrior that approached, and in a short\\ntime there was not a Leeds Point brave left to tell the tale of the battle.\\nMulberry field, where this battle took place, has always been remarkable\\nfor the fertility of its soil.

In his log-book, under date\\nof September 2 i6og, he says When the sun arose we steered north again and saw land\\nfrom the west by north to the northwest, all alike, broken islands, and our soundings were\\neleven fathoms and ten fathoms. Then we luffed in for the shore, and fair by the shore we\\n_had seven fathoms. The course along the land [Absecon Beach] we found to be northeast\\nby north.

This is a\\nvery good land to fall in with, and a pleasant land to see.\\nHOW STATEN ISLAND WAS ATTACHED TO NEW YORK.\\nThe high hills far to the northward, referred to by Mate Juet, were the highlands\\nof Navesink and Staten Island. Perhaps, the reader has wondered why Staten Island, in\\nspite of its location, is a part of New York, instead of New Jersey. On March 20, 1664,\\nJames, Duke of York, received from his brother, Charles II., a grant for all that part of\\nthe main land of New England, particularly described; also all the land from the west\\nside of the Connecticut river to the east side of Delaware bay. and the several other islands\\nand lands, etc., including the provinces of New York and New Jersey. Three months\\nlater, on June 23d. the Duke of York, for the consideration of ten shillings, lawful money\\nof England, conveyed to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret all that portion of the\\nterritory between the Hudson river and Delaware bay or river, to be known thereafter as\\nNova Cctsarea or New Jersey. The Duke despatched Sir Robert Carre and Admiral Richard\\nNicholls, with a land and naval force, to take possession of all lands included in the grant\\nfrom the king. Much of the territory was then in possession of the Dutch under Peter\\nStuyvesant. Nicholls was given command of the land forces, consisting of about three\\nhundred men, and his instructions were to place Berkeley and Carteret in possession of\\nNew Jersey, and to hold for the Duke the lands eastward of the Hudson, including the\\nsmall islands in adjacent waters. Nicholls carried out his instructions, but was perplexed\\nas to the disposition of Staaten Eylandt, as the Dutch called it. Long Island was too big to\\nbe doubtful. It was clearly a part of New York by reason of its size and location. The\\nother islands were so small as to be included in the term small islands in adjacent waters,\\nbut Staten Island was neither one thing nor the other neither large nor small. He finally\\ndecided that any island that could be sailed around in twenty-four hours was small enough\\nto come within the instructions, and might be fairly considered a part of New York.\\nNicholls therefore commissioned Captain James Billup, of the ship Bent ley, to make\\nthe effort to circumnavigate the island in twenty-four hours. Billup regarded the beautiful\\nisland, with its wooded heights, as a rare prize for the Duke, and he determined to win it for\\nhim, if possible. But treacherous shoals and shifting winds made it a difficult task. He\\ntook the outside course first, but when he started up through what the Dutch called the\\nArthur Kills he grounded opposite to where Perth Amboy is now located. Finally the crew\\nwarped the vessel off, but in a short time she was aground again. Billup was in despair,\\nwhen three Indians put out from the shore and paddled up to the ship. One of them,\\nMatoachen, or Metuchen, a chief of the Po Ambo tribe, could speak a few words in Dutch,\\nand to him Billup managed to make known his plight. Matoachen agreed to serve as a\\npilot, and his knowledge of the channel and shoals made it possible for Billup to finish his\\ncourse within the twenty-four hours. Thus it was that Staten Island became a part of\\nNew York. Nicholls granted to Billup, as a reward, a large estate on the southern end of\\nthe island, which grant was afterwards confirmed by the Duke of York.

To settle the disputes that were constantly arising, another commission was\\nappointed in 1854. This commission decided that the boundary should be the middle line of\\nthe Hudson river, beginning at the forty-first degree of north latitude, the middle of New\\nYork Bay, the middle of Kill von Kull, the middle of Arthur Kill and the middle of Raritan\\nBay. This seemed definite enough, but it was not long before new disputes arose. The bed\\nof Raritan Bay became valuable as an oyster planting ground, and the uncertainty as to\\njurisdiction led to frequent disputes and occasional bloodshed. In 1887 another commission\\nwas appointed by the Governors of New York and New Jersey to locate definitely the line\\nbetween the two states. This cr mmission agreed upon a line in i88g. From the mouth of\\nthe Hudson it sweeps east of Robbin s Reef Lighthouse, and includes not only Robbin s Reef\\nand Bedloe s Island, but Ellis Island and Oyster Island, making them a part of New Jersey.\\nAs the Statue of Liberty is on Bedloe s Island, it is on New Jersey soil, although the\\nCentury Dictionary and other atlases erroneously place it within the bounds of Greater\\nNew York.\\n6 i 6\\nThe discovery of the inlets above and below Absegami may be properly\\ncredited to Captain Cornelius Jacobsen Mey, of the ship Fortuyn, who\\nleft New Amsterdam in June, 1614, and cruised down the coast on a voy-\\nage of discovery. He called the inlet now known as Barnegat by the\\nDutch name of Barende-gat, meaning Breakers inlet, or, as it is in\\nEnglish, the inlet with breakers. In the rivers his men in the ship s\\nboat found an abundance of gulls eggs, and he therefore called the streams\\nGreat and Little Egg Harbor (the latter now known as the Mullica), and\\nthe country Eyre Haven, the Dutch for Egg Harbor. Absecon inlet he\\nalso called Barende-gat, these words being used at first not as a name, but\\nmerely as a description of the inlet. In the course of time the word was\\ncorrupted into Barnegat. On Vanderdonck s Dutch map, made in 1656, it\\nis Barndegat, and in his description of the coast, in one place, he calls\\nAbsecon Bear-gat. He says: There are several fine bays and inland\\nwaters, which form good sea harbors for those who are acquainted with\\nthe inlets and entrances to the same, which at present are not much used,\\nparticularly Barndegat, Great and Little Egg Harbor and Bear-gat,\\nwherein anchorages are safe and secure. But as few Christians are\\nsettled at those places, the harbors are seldom used, unless the wind and\\nthe weather render it necessary for safety.\\nGabriel Thomas, who wrote a History of New Jersey in 1698, in\\nenumerating the streams of water, mentions Great Egg Harbor River,\\nup which a ship of two or three hundred tuns may\\nStones of the sail.

Previous to its destruc-\\ntion an American traveler gfained access to this quaintly written document. He describes it\\nas a sincere and plaintive, but simple story of adventure, which is probably rendered more\\nsad in tone than it otherwise would have been, by reason of the private troubles that were\\nweighingupon the heart of Leonarda when he wrote it. Doubtless the writer refers to\\nLeonarda s grief over the death of his lady love, a voung woman of distinction, which is\\nsaid to have occurred during his absence in America. Leonarda himself died at Oporto\\nthree years after his return to Portugal.\\nThe description of the beach and surrounding country, as given in the parchment,\\nleft no doubt in the mind of our American traveler that the shipwreck of Leonarda occurred\\nat no other place than Absegami, or Absecon Beach.\\nAbout the time of this shipwreck, according to the story of Leonarda, there was an\\nunusual commotion among the Indians encamped in the vicinity of Absegami. One of their\\nnumber was Minnequa. brother of Wekolis. the chief, who was deeply enamored of an\\nIndian girl, called, in English, the Fair Ocean Maid. The girl also loved Minnequa,\\nand she in turn was loved by Wekolis. the chief, who cruelly forbade anv communication\\nor association between his brother and the girl. To prevent any violation of this order,\\nWekolis had the girl confined in his wigwam, under guard. The brother whom he had\\nhitherto loved Minnequa now hated.\\nOne night, so the story goes, Minnequa and a number of his friends, after a fruitless\\nattempt to rescue the Fair Ocean Maid, broke away from the camp and erected their wig-\\nwams about four miles distant, proposing to make an assault upon the camp of Wekolis at a\\nfavorable time.\\nDay and night the young girl was under guard and among the watchers was a young\\nIndian named Wau-Koo-Naby, who had loved the captive from his childhood. He well\\nknew that she could never be his squaw, yet he was constrained to risk his own life in an\\nattempt to rescue her from the hands of one whom he knew she did not love. One day, dur-\\ning the absence of the chief, while Wau-Koo-Naby was walking with the fair maidof the\\nocean at some distance from the wigwam, he suggested that she escape with him. At first\\nshe hesitated, fearing detection and punishment for both. But at last she consented and a\\nplan of escape was agreed upon.\\nOne stormy night everything seemed auspicious. The chief had left the camp at\\nmid-day and had not yet returned from the chase. Wau-Koo-Naby persuaded his fellow-\\nguardsmen to go to sleep, assuring them that he would guard well their captive. As soon\\nas the others were asleep, the watchful pair crept cautiously out of the wigwam and tied, in\\nthe face of wind and rain, toward the camp of Minnequa. After traveling some distance\\nand being fatigued by the rigors of the night, they sought shelter in a grove of cedars.\\nHere they detected lights at a distance, and believing themselves near the camp of\\nMinnequa, they hastened on. On approaching the camp thev heard much commotion.\\nThe girl and her companion hallooed for assistance, and soon two red men approached.\\nWau-Koo-Naby and the girl supposed they were friends, and before discovering otherwise\\none of the Indians smote Wau-Koo-Naby to the earth with his tomahawk. He quickly seized\\nthe girl, and, taking her in his arms, hastened back to his friends. Instead of the camp of\\nher lover, as the girl had supposed, she found herself in the presence of Wekolis, who.\\nreturning to his own camp that night, had discovered the treachery of Wau-Koo-Naby and\\nwas then in pursuit of the girl and her companion\\nThe next day Minnequa, hearing of the girl s capture, determined to attack the camp\\nof his brother the following night. This he did, but was worsted by superior force. He\\nand his men retired to their wigwams sad-hearted and discouraged.\\nThe captive maiden, the object of this fighting, saddened by the fate of Wau-Koo-\\nNaby. grieving over her separation from Minnequa, and suffering, perhaps, from her\\nexposure of the night before, was taken sick. As she lay upon her bed of leaves and grass\\nin the wigwam, the chief approached, perhaps to caress her. Her face was calm and her\\nbrow was cold he believed her dead. Instantly his heart was tilled with compunction, and\\nrushing from the wigwam, he tied to the camp of his brother, crying Mercy Mercy I have\\nkilled the Ocean Maid.\\nMinnequa was greatly alarmed. He did not stop to upbraid his brother, but hastened\\nat once to the opposing camp, desiring, if possible, to embrace in death the girl whom he\\nhad so dearly loved in life. Reaching the tent, he was overjoyed to find her alive and in\\ndeep slumber. The chief had supposed her dead, when, in fact, she had merely fainted.\\nThis incident served to melt the chief s heart. Not only did he bid the girl marry the\\nman whom she loved, but if we are to believe our Portuguese chronicler, he actually made\\nMinnequa chief of the tribe. Wau-Koo-Naby, who had assisted the girl in her flight, though\\nseverely wounded, we are informed, did not die, but bravely returned to camp and was\\nrequited for his fidelity by receiving in marriage the hand of the chief s sister, another\\nbeautiful daughter of the forest.\\nThis story, as given by Leonarda, may be somewhat embellished, although in his\\nnianuscript he assured the Portuguese that he gave the facts exactly as they occurred about\\nthe time of his shipwreck on Absecon Beach.\\na d d\\nThe government of the province always recognized the title of the\\nIndians to the lands, and always insisted on a fair purchase from them.", "height": "3579", "width": "2312", "jp2-path": "hestonshandbookb00hest_0121.jp2"}, "122": {"fulltext": "48\\nHeston s Hand-Book.\\nFor this reason the white settlers never had any trouble with the aborig-\\nines.

The\\npresent boundaries were fixed by the act of April 2. 1869, and are as follows Beginning at\\na point in the Atlantic Ocean, as far as the jurisdiction of the State extends, and on a line\\nwith the east side of Dry Inlet; thence easterly along the boundary line of the State to a\\nline at right angles witti the east side of Absecom Inlet, at high water; thence westerly\\nalong the east side of said inlet to a point opposite and at right angles with the west bank of\\nClam Thoroughfare thence southerly along the west bank of said Thoroughfare, to its\\nintersection with Beach Thoroughfare thence southerly along the east bank of said Beach\\nThoroughfare to the intersection of the aforesaid line on the east side of Dry Inlet; and\\nthence along said line to the place of beginning. This description includes within the\\ncity limits the tract now known as Chelsea Heights, between Beach Thoroughfare and\\nInside Thoroughfare.\\nIt will be noticed that the sou hern boundary is in the Atlantic Ocean as far as the\\njurisdiction of the State extends, which means at least three miles seaward from the\\nBoardwalk. By the modern law of nations, the territorial waters extend to such distance as\\nis capable of command from the shore, or the presumed range of a cannon, which, for the\\npurpose of certainty, is regarded as a marine league, or three miles. According to some\\nwriters, a state or nation may extend its jurisdiction seaward with the increased range of a\\ncannon (now about ten miles), and from their standpoint we may assume that the southern\\nboundary of Atlantic City is ten miles seaward from the Boardwalk.\\nThis question of boundary was settled in 1887 bv Vice-Chancellor Alfred Reed, who\\nwas then a Judge of the Supreme Court. Several mechanics liens were filed against the\\nHoward Pier, which then extended into the ocean from the foot of Kentucky avenue. The\\ndefense set up that the State s jurisdiction did not extend below low-water mark, and there-\\nfore the courts could not pass upon the case or enforce the authority of a decree.\\nJudge Reed, in a very lengthy opinion, quoted copiously from English and American\\nauthorities bearing on the subject, and said\\nMy conclusion is that the State of New Jersey holds the land and water with all the\\nrights appertaining thereto to a line at least three miles distant from the low-water mark of\\nthe ocean.\\nThis decision has been quoted since in other cases and is the accepted law of the State.\\nIt is evident, therefore, that the city has authority beyond the low-water mark, and\\ncontrol of the land underwater at least three miles from the shore. The federal government\\nexercises jurisdiction in so far as navigation and fisheries are concerned over the marine\\nleague, but all other rights are reserved by the State.\\nThe beach front of Atlantic City has under,gone a considerable change since the time\\nof the first survey in 1852.

Earlv in the spring of 1880 the West Jersey Division of the Penn-\\nsylvania Railroad extended its line to Atlantic City. The opening of the\\nWest Jersey was of exceptional benefit to the city, since a direct route to\\nNew York Citv, without change of cars, was thereby afforded.

Blue-fish, flounders, porgies, bass and weak-fish are\\ncaught in abundance. The adjacent meadows and marshes are alive with\\nsnipe, curlew, marlin and the whole family of wading birds. Wild geese,\\nduck, brants and teal are to be had in large quantities in season. The\\ncrabbing is exceptionally good, and the bathing superb. The upper end of\\nthis beach was for many years the breeding place for sea-gulls. Mxriads\\nof these birds would congregate there. The eggs were laid in the sand,\\nthe nest being a mere hollow, with sometimes a few twigs and leaves.\\nCasino.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The Casino is located on the Boardwalk, overlooking the\\nsea, near the foot of Indiana avenue. It affords various kinds of amuse-\\nments for adults and all reasonable attractions for the little folks. The sun\\nparlors are especially adapted for the use of the many invalids and con-\\nvalescents who find new life in our health-giving ozone during the spring\\nmonths.

Fourteen smaller buildings have since been erected\\nwithin the grounds by visitors at the different hotels, each bearing the\\nname of the house by which it was erected. There are now accommoda-\\ntions for over one hundred children and about thirty mothers. The object\\nof the corporation is to maintain at the seashore an institution in which\\nchildren of the poorer classes, suffering from non-contageous diseases, or\\nfrom debility, incident to the hot weather and a crowded city, may have\\ngood nursing and medical care, without regard to creed, color or nationality.\\nThe house is open to visitors Tuesday and Friday mornings from half-past\\nnine to half-past ten o clock, and every afternoon from three to five o clock.\\nChelsea.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 A few blocks below the built-up portion of Atlantic City is\\na select suburb, called Chelsea. It is laid out on a comprehensive scale with\\nwide streets and large lots, those fronting on Pacific avenue being sixty\\nfeet wide, and the corner ones sixty five feet. Restrictions embodied in the\\ndeeds require all houses to be set back a good distance from the street, and\\nprevent them also from being crowded closely together. Only one build-\\ning for dwelling-house purposes is permitted oh each lot. No liquor saloon\\nor other undesirable places are allowed in the place, and stringent regula-\\ntions govern the drainage arrangements. The Pennsylvania Railroad has\\na station at Chelsea, and both the electric cars and omnibuses convey pas-\\nsengers to and from the city proper.\\nCountry Club House.\u00e2\u0080\u0094 The golf links are on the mainland overlook-\\ning Lake s Bay.

A number of ladies and gentlemen organ-\\nized what was then known as the Atlantic Citv Hospital Association,\\nand they collected a fund of about $1200. After a time most of those iden-\\ntified with the movement lost interest in it, and finally the fund was turned\\nover to a private sanatorium, and applied toward the founding of a free\\nbed in that institution. Through the efforts of Mayor Franklin P. Stoy,\\nthe city contracted with the institution referred to, known as the Atlantic\\nCity Sanatorium, of which J. J.

Its water advan-\\ntages are unique. The ocean, the inlet and the thoroughfare surge restlessly\\nor wave pleasantly on three sides of it. The island narrows and is scarcely\\nmore than one block in width in the improved portion of Longport, render-\\ning both bathing and fishing convenient. The ocean beach is broad, smooth\\nand level, making a fine promenade ground when the tide is out and safe\\nbathing when the tide is in. Fish are abundant in the thoroughfare, and\\nare caught steadily from the pier and breakwater, which accommodate and\\nprotect the shore at different angles. Little steamers make regular trips to\\nOcean City and Somers Point. Sail-boats accommodate those who desire\\nsuch recreation. The cottages are diverse in architectural design.

L. English, the founder of Atlantic\\nCity journalism, published a volume whose concluding\\npage was a breviary of Advice to the City Authorities.\\nIn imitation of Mr. English, the author of the Hand-Book\\nappropriates the concluding page of this souvenir edition to\\nhis own use, and offers, without apology, a few suggestions\\nfor the betterment of Atlantic City.\\nFirst, he suggests that the condition of Atlantic avenue, the sidewalks\\nin many parts of the city and the alleys generally receive more attention.\\nAtlantic avenue should be paved, not macadamized, and City Council\\nshould speedily enter into an equitable arrangement with the railroad com-\\npany to meet the expense of this improvement.\\nSecond, the sidewalks on Atlantic and every other avenue should be\\nkept absolutely free from obstructions. Electric light, telephone and\\ntelegraph poles should be banished for all time and the wires placed under-\\nground. No signs, boxes or obstructions of any kind should be tolerated\\non the sidewalks anywhere.\\nThird, the curb lines on Atlantic avenue might be moved out two or\\nthree feet the driveways being more than ample now and the additional\\nspace assigned to shade trees, the planting of which should be encouraged,\\nnot only along Atlantic avenue, but on every avenue in the city. Make\\nAtlantic avenue more inviting\u00e2\u0080\u0094 shady in summer and free from mud in\\nwinter\u00e2\u0080\u0094 and visitors will be glad to leave the Boardwalk, if only for a\\nchance to see the commercial side of Atlantic City. Storekeepers will not\\nthen complain of business drifting away from the avenue to the Boardwalk.\\nGive the visitors a chance to see clear and clean sidewalks, give them a\\nrefuge from the sun in summer and freedom from mud in winter, and they\\nwill soon realize that the Boardwalk is not Atlantic City s only promenade.\\nWhere the people are, there will the trade be also.\\nFourth, the ordinance against the dumping of refuse in alleys or on\\nvacant lots should be rigidly enforced. It should be the duty of the street\\nsupervisor to see that all alleys are kept absolutely free of rubbish, and the\\nBoard of Health should not tolerate for one day a nuisance of any kind in\\nback alley, back yard or side lot.\\nFifth, waste paper should be deposited in proper receptacles on the\\nstreet corners, and once a day or once a week, as may be necessary, such\\nrefuse should be taken to the crematory.\\nSixth, low lots everywhere, especially along the railroads, should be\\nfilUed to grade and kept absolutely free from rubbish.\\nSeventh, the wires for electric lights on the Boardwalk should be\\nplaced in conduits, and the wooden poles which now disfigure the walk\\nshould be removed.\\nEighth, the city should control absolutely the ocean front, and the\\nbob-tail pier at the foot of Pennsylvania avenue should be removed. The\\none at the foot of Tennessee avenue should be improved architecturally.\\nNinth, between the stations and the Thoroughfare all railroad tracks\\nshould be elevated. This improvement should be completed not later than\\nthe Year of Jubilee, 1904.\\nTenth, the city should erect places of public comfort along the Board-\\nwalk and pavilions at the ends of the avenues, outside the walk.\\nEleventh, the city should prohibit the charging of a fee for the privi-\\nlege of sitting in a private pavilion anywhere along the Boardwalk.\\nTwelfth, all sidewalks on cross avenues from the Boardwalk to\\nAtlantic avenue should be flagged from curb to property line.\\n(86)", "height": "3533", "width": "2271", "jp2-path": "hestonshandbookb00hest_0178.jp2"}, "179": {"fulltext": "v:\\nDO", "height": "3579", "width": "2312", "jp2-path": "hestonshandbookb00hest_0179.jp2"}, "180": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3533", "width": "2271", "jp2-path": "hestonshandbookb00hest_0180.jp2"}, "181": {"fulltext": "IN D C A.\\nPage.\\nAborigines, battle of 42\\nAbsecon Beach 44. 45\\nAbsecon. origin of word 40\\nAbsegami, discovery of 44\\nAbsegami, summering at 40\\nAdams, Ryan 55. 57\\nAdams, Aunt Juditli, 53\\nAllen, Ethan 52\\nAlbertson, Leon 64\\nAibertson, Levi C 64\\nAlcorn, William 64\\nAmarong Indians 42\\nAmerica s Mecca of Tourists 15\\nAmusements, 67\\nAnte-Bellum Days 63\\nArmewamexes Indians 42\\nArthur Kill 44, 45\\nArmstrong, Harriet 65\\nApril on the Boardwalk 4\\nAsomoches Indians 42\\nAssanpink Creek 4q\\nAtlantis Club (plate) 16\\nAtlantis Club 67\\nAtlantic City National Bank, 61\\nAtsion, 43. 59\\nAtsion Indians 42, 43\\nAtlantic House 58\\nAuld Lang Syne, 53 55\\nAvery, John G.
