Featured in this issue is an original 5" x 9 1/4" wood engraved view "DUNGEON ROCK, LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS" (Lynn Woods).The accompanying 1/2 column-long article reads, "This rock lies near the town of Lynn, Mass., but is rather within the jurisdiction of the township of Saugus, a village in the vicinity, which has received its population by emigration from Lynn. This rock is but a short distance from the town, and besides the charm of its natural scenery, offers the further inducement of a legend to attract visitors. It is said that almost a century ago t suddenly appeared a vessel lying off the harbor of Lynn, and the next morning an early visitor to the beach found a note pinned up to a conspicuous stake, which said that if a supply of handcuffs and sabers, ammunition and firearms, was left at a designated spot, at a certain time, they would be taken away at night, and a fair price in money be left in the same place. On consultation among the Selectmen, it was agreed, though the population of Lynn was a god-fearing one, to leave the supplies as indicated. The next morning after, the supplies had disappeared, and in their place was a bag of gold coins. Now in the far horizon could be a sail be seen.
