“The attention of those who frequent the camp-meetings at Eastham is said to be divided between the preaching of the Methodists and the preaching of the billows on the back side of the Cape, for they all stream over here in the course of their stay.

Maffit; on this, the Reverend Poluphloisboios Thalassa.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
