To secure the purchase, Southland has already forwarded a $200,000 advance-quite a jump from the $1 and $2 donations that the federation gets from selling wildlife stamps...
...typewriter. Many a writer focuses on almost anything but his task-for example, on the Coast and Geodetic Survey of Maine's Frenchman Bay and Bar Harbor, stimulating his imagination with names like Googins Ledge, Blunts Pond, Hio Hill and Burnt Porcupine, Long Porcupine, Sheep Porcupine and Bald Porcupine islands...
