Twenty miles out from Manhattan on the wooded, hilly North Shore of Long Island, inland from Manhasset, lies a great and famed 225-acre estate, on a road locally called ''The Irish Channel" from the origin of several large landowners along it.

Since the Marsh Buggy frequently cruises on inland waterways, it is licensed as a Class I motorboat, has to carry red. white and green running lights, a mast, an anchor, bowsprit (which folds), life preservers, two sets of government pilot rules. Speed at sea is six knots, on dry land 35 m.p.h., on marsh 12 m.p.h. Since landmarks are scarce in Louisiana marshes and the grass often grows twelve feet tall, all steering is done by compass...
