432 HISTORY OF THE

The Rhinelanders were also extensive landholders in this part of the town. Bernard Rhinelander settled on the place now owned by his grand-danghter, Mrs, Isaac Underhill. The father of Bernard was Philip Jacob Rhinelander, a French Protestant refuofee.

The steamboat landing is delightfully situated about half a mile south-west of the village, on a small wooded island, connected with the main by a solid stone causeway which leads to the dock and to a well built hotel called the Neptune House. This establishment is well located on account of its close vicinity to the Sound. At high water, the scenery presented in front of the hotel is altogether unrivalled : the harbour in the foreground, the long surface of the waters, stretching five miles across to Long Jsland ; the winding streams of the creek on each side, and Davenport's neck and island around, help to fill up the landscape ; and, in addition to the healthiness of the spot, give it advantages, possessed by few of our watering places.

The buildings and improvements on this island have been erected at the private cost of Philip Rhinelander Underhill, Esq. a- The whole establishment is under the superintendence of Charles F. Rice.
