Excerpt from Red Bank: Paper Read Before the Monmouth County, Historical Association July 26, 1900 Around the club house, winding in and out among the trees, are pretty walks and drives, whose names are suggestive of the novel, such as Coquette Lane, Fennimore Terrace, Cupid Path, Witch's Lane, Gypsy Pass and Water Witch Drive. Standing on the veranda of the club house, looking toward the ocean, we see the site of the old inlet, through which the Water Witch used to enter Shrewsbury river. In front of the club house, on the eastern slope of the Highlands, is Seadrift Path, and on the right is Seadrift, the summer cottage of E. S. Atwood, treasurer. Of Water Witch Club. Four or five hundred feet north of the Lust in Rust ruins is the site of the Huddy fallen) where the patriot, Joshua Huddy, was cruelly hung by the Tories on April 12, 1782. The Water Witch Club is composed principally of New York gentlemen, who spend the summer months on the Highlands, each member occupying his own cottage, and all of the cottages convenient to the club house, where the members and their families gather daily for social converse and where the stranger is always most kindly taken in.
