Annual Meeting

The forty-second annual meeting of the Nantucket Historical Association was held in the Unitarian church on Thursday afternoon, July 30, 1936, with a large attendance of members and interested friends.

President Charles E. Congdon called the meeting to order at 3.00 o'clock and extended a cordial welcome to all. He then reminded those present that on Wednesday, August 5, there would be "open house" at the Oldest House on Sunset Hill, in commemoration of the 250th year of this historic structure.

The meeting then listened to the annual report of the Secretary, Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger. As the report of the last annual meeting had been published in the "Proceedings", the President announced that it would be omitted at this time.

The report of the Treasurer, Robert D. Congdon, was then read

by Mrs. Nancy Adams, giving in detail the financial condition of the Association.

Mrs. Adams then read her report as Curator. As a comparison in attendance figures, she stated that there were approximately 800 admissions to the Museum on Fair street, 1,000 at the Oldest House, and 6,000 visitors to the Whaling Museum, during the season of 1935, with indications that there would be an increase in attendance during the present season.

The reports of the Secretary, Treasurer and Curator, are printed herewith. All three were accepted by the meeting without change.

President Congdon then made a few brief and choice remarks, which took the place of a formal "address by the President". Since the death of William F. Macy, a year ago, to whose office Dr. Congdon has succeeded, there have been many tributes to the memory of the man, but it is doubtful if any were as touching as the tribute extended to Mr. Macy's memory by Dr. Congdon.

It was not an eulogy, delivered with well-rounded phrases; it was, rather, a simple account of a friendship that began back in 1879, when the speaker first came to the island, and the two played "scouts and Indians" together in the vicinity of Hayscale Lane. Dr. Congdon described the long friendship that had existed until the death of Mr. Macy and, not a little affected by the memory, closed with a short account of the many important matters successfully negotiated in the interests of the Association by the late William F. Macy.

"Today," he said, "the Whaling Museum is the greatest asset which the Association has and its very existence is the result of the personal efforts of Mr. Macy. It is a monument to his ten years of service as President of this Association."

Dr. Congdon summarized a few of the year's events. The out­ standing accomplishment, he remarked, was the renovation of the Old Mill at an expense neighboring in the vicinity of $1800. As a result of the interest and activity of Mrs. Frederick Ackerman and Bassett Jones, the Old Mill has been completely restored to its original purpose and can now turn its top into every breeze that blows, no matter the direction, and grind corn meal.

With a total membership of 900 the Association is one of the largest in New England, he reminded, and the possibilities for increased membership are very good. While the trust funds of the Association remain the same, the interest from these funds has dropped considerably, so that the officers have been sailing as "close to the wind" as possible under the conditions. Fred V. Fuller has can­ celled his note for $250 to the Association in memory of Mr. Macy, and the executors of the latter's estate have also cancelled a similar note to the same amount.

The nominating committee submitted the following list of candi­ dates : President—Dr. Charles E. Congdon.

Vice-Presidents—Fred V. Fuller, Mrs. Irving Elting, Bassett Jones, Thomas H. Giffin, Harry B. Turner, Charles P. Kimball.

Secretary—Mrs. Catherine R. Eger.

Treasurer—Robert D. Congdon.

Curator—Mrs. Nancy S. Adams.

Curator Emeritus—Miss Susan E. Brock.

Councillors for Four Years—Mrs. Emma F. Hayward, Earl S. Ray. President Congdon announced that he had received a proxy vote for Mr. Winthrop Coffin for President, and that while he felt that Mr. Coffin's election to such office would be an honor to the Association he knew that the gentleman would not accept the office.

"Upon receipt of a similar nomination last year," he said, "I went to Mr. Coffin and asked him to accept the nomination. However, he refused, stating that he had reached the age when he felt that he would rather be relieved of such duties."

It was voted that a member of the nominating committee be ap­ pointed to cast one ballot for the election of the list of officers listed above. Mr. E. A. Stackpole was appointed and cast the one ballot, the officers then being declared duly elected.

President Congdon thanked the members for the privilege of the office to which he was elected, stating that while at times he felt the same as Mr. Coffin about it, nevertheless that he was intensely inter­ ested in the work and was proud of the opportunity to continue the duties of the office.

The prizes for the historical essays submitted by the pupils of the local schools were then awarded. This is an annual custom, inaugu­ rated some years ago by the late Alexander Starbuck. As usual, the committee on the awards found its task a difficult one, but after con­ sidering the merits of all had decided upon the following: First Prize—"The Friends or Quakers of Nantucket," written by Miss Helen Winslow.

Second Prize—"History of Old Nantucket," written by Miss Elizabeth Coffin.

Third Prize—"Why Nantucket is Charming," written by Miss Mary McGrath.

The first prize winner, Miss Winslow, was absent from the island, but Misses Coffin and McGrath stepped forward to receive their awards amid warm applause.

Miss Helen McCleary was then called upon to read a report she had prepared following attendance at the annual meeting of the Bay State Historical League in New Bedford last April. Miss McCleary attended as a delegate from Brookline, but being a member of the Nantucket society, and finding no one present from this island, had thoughtfully appointed herself as a delegate from Nantucket, also.

Her report was most interesting, containing short accounts of visits to the old whaleship Charles W. Morgan at Round Hill, the Old Dart­ mouth Museum, and an interesting pageant in the chapel on "Johnny Cake Hill."

Edouard A. Stackpole read a paper on "John Paul Jones and His Nantucket Sea Fighters". This had to do with the twenty-four Nantucketers who served under Jones, bringing into a clearer light the actual accomplishments of the men in relation to their share in that great man's career.

Three visitors from New Bedford were then called upon to say a few words.

William H. Tripp, custodian at the Old Dartmouth Museum, spoke first, stating that this was the sixth annual cruise of these New Bedford members to the island, and voiced his continued interest in the affairs of the Association. He expressed his regret at the loss of Mr. Macy, and congratulated the members upon securing the services of Dr. Congdon as its President.

Wilbur G. Sherman and Mr. Nye, the other two visitors, also spoke briefly.

Charles P. Kimball read a paper on the Old North burying ground. As the Association has been appointed custodian of Old North, this paper was timely and, with that of Mr. Stackpole, is printed in full in the "Proceedings."

Miss Margaret Wood, of Wilmington, North Carolina, was then introduced. Miss Wood is a descendant of one of the Nantucket colon­ ies which left the island in the period preceding the Revolution to settle in New Garden, N. C., now Guilford. She gave a most inter­ esting account of the diary of Keziah Coffin Fanning, her great4 7 >•

grandmother, which was at one time in the possession of her father.

This famous diary was contained in about 29 different booklets. How her father copied them, how they eventually got lost (with the excep­ tion of one hidden by her sister) and how they were originally written would make a most interesting pamphlet. It is hoped that Miss Wood will some day write the account.

R. Newton Mayall, a Landscape Architect, presented some re­ search survey plans of old Nantucket gardens, made under the auspices of the American Landscape Architectural Survey.

Whitman Pearson, custodian of the Old Mill, had a few words to say in regard to the excellent quality of corn meal now being ground by the Mill. He described a selling campaign for the meal, by which it is hoped to pay off a portion of the debt incurred by necessary re­ pairs in the renovation, and urged all members to request "Old Mill Corn Muffins" wherever they went on the island.

President Congdon announced that as they were stockholders in the Association it might be a good idea to carry the plan out as much as possible, so that the dividends declared might be obtained for the Old Mill.

Robert Frazier, of Greensboro, N. C., was accorded the privilege of addressing the meeting. Mr. Frazier is a direct descendant of William Coffin and Priscilla Paddack Coffin, members of the Nan­ tucket colony at New Garden. He spoke briefly on the great contribu­ tion made to the history of North Carolina by that small group of islanders settling so far from Nantucket in 1772.

Mr. Frazier named a number of the distinguished descendants of these migrating Nantucketers, among them being Gov. John Worth, Levi Coffin, William Sidney Porter (O. Henry), and Worth Bagley, first to lose his life in the Spanish-American War. Among the living North Carolina descendants, Mr. Frazier men­ tioned Robert Worth Bingham, ambassador to Great Britain, Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the ambassador to Mexico; W. C. Borden, president of the Pomona Terra Cotta company; O. J. Coffin, Univer­ sity of North Carolina, and many others.

The speaker was tendered warm applause as he resumed his seat.

It was indeed a strange coincidence when, a few minutes after ad­ journment of the meeting, Miss Isa Le. Coffin, of Minneapolis, intro­ duced herself to Mr. Frazier as another of the descendants of William Coffin and Priscilla Paddock Coffin. It was indeed unusual that three of the North Carolinian descendants should be present at the meeting unknown to each other.

The Association's importance as a community asset becomes more and more apparent as the years come and go. It not only rep­ resents an active group of persons interested in the past, present and future of the island, but it owns a group of buildings that have taken a large place in the attractions for which Nantucket is famous.

4 8>

The Whaling Museum, the Historical Rooms, the Oldest House and Old Mill are known throughout the east as intergal parts of Nan­ tucket, and before many years have passed the first of these will take its place as an institution of high-rank in Americana.

Membership in the Nantucket Historical Association holds forth an opportunity to islanders as well as the many descendants of the island families—an opportunity to aid in preserving the best of the traditions of early Nantucket. Prom the very fact that three de­ scendants of the colony at New Garden were present at an annual meeting of the Association the loyal officers and members take a renewed confidence in the work, and derive considerable satisfaction in knowing that the far-flung sons and daughters of Nantucket are ready to do their share in keeping alive the spirit of those sturdy Nantucketers of long ago.

Secretary's Report Mr. President, Members and Friends of The Nantucket Historical Association: Once again we are assembled for the annual meeting of our Association. We are often told that "history repeats itself", and when one attempts to write the 42nd annual report of the same work, the truth of the saying becomes very apparent. The best work which we are accomplishing is of course shown in the reports of our treasur­ er and curator. Your secretary keeps busy with the correspondence and reports as well as the list of members. Our membership at present stands thus at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1936: Life Members Sustaining Members Annual Members Junior Members Total

105 30 717 81 933

In connection with the above let me once more urge that your secretary and treasurer be informed promptly of any change of address of members so that our mailing lists may be correct as well as complete. It is disappointing each year to have many notices which were sent to life members returned unclaimed. There is always need of new members and it would contribute much toward the sup­ port of our work if some of our annual members might be able and willing to join our newer class of membership known as sustaining members.

During the past year the Council has held its regular meetings for the consideration of matters relative to our work and the routine business has been attended to as usual, but that requires no special mention here. Council meetings were held for necessary business on September 7, 1935; September 15, 1935; March 18, 1936, and May 7, 1936. With your permission I will dispense with the summary of details concerning the business of the year.

I believe that the outstanding event of the year was the official opening of the old mill on July 11, after having been completely renovated by the Association. No expense was spared in effecting the necessary repairs. Besides putting the grinding machinery frame­ work and exterior in perfect order, the Association has fixed the observatory-like top which can now be revolved to bring the vanes into the wind.

The old mill committee were much worried about obtaining' a boom suitable for the tail piece which revolves the top. In the midst of the difficulty Miss Prentice very kindly stepped forward and gave to the Association the mast from the schooner "Allen Gurney", the hull of which still serves as the dining room for "The Skipper" at the steamboat wharf.

More than this, Miss Prentice paid for the transportation of the same to the mill and it was delivered free of cost to the Society.

This gift of the Skipper mast lends a new note of historical interest as well as value to the mill, in-as-much as it has served one purpose and is now serving another equally well.

The necessary repairs and preparations were made in a very short period of time, and much credit is due the committee in charge for the energy displayed and the success attending their efforts.

Mr. Pearson, our miller-custodian, this year reports that 350 people have visited the mill since the opening on July 11, which attendance exceeds that of previous years by a wide margin. Summer visitors and islanders alike who have not done so, should avail them­ selves of the first opportunity in at least half a century to observe the old mill in perfect operating condition.

I cannot close without a tribute to the memory of our late Presi­ dent, Mr. William P. Macy, who was called from our fellowship only three weeks after our last annual meeting. It is difficult to realize that he will no more lend his personal aid to these worthwhile enter­ prises which meant so much to him and were of such significant importance to his native town. His work in connection with the establishment of the whaling museum is his oustanding memorial.

It was through his persistent and untiring efforts that it was made a reality. His memory will long be cherished by all who knew him. Some of our other members who have been active in the affairs of the Association have passed on during the year. Among them are two of our life members, Anna Swain Clark and Karl E. Satler. Their loss is keenly felt and their presence will be sadly missed by us all.

Our correspondence steadily increases and although we discon­ tinued our exchange list some years ago our mailing list slowly lengthens. Ancestry is still the leading subject of the many letters received and the number of persons who can claim descent from the early settlers is equalled only by those who wish they could. Nantucket still seems to retain an unexplainable drawing power to folks both near and far and we are grateful for their appreciation of our "Little Grey Lady" and for their help in preserving that which is of value as evidence of its early life and its no small share in making American history.

It has been a year of continued effort and accomplishment and so we press on, as each year opening out before us brings us some­ thing new to be accomplished and we hope that we are fulfilling our mission to the best of our ability.

Respectfully submitted, Catherine Ray Eger, Secretary.

Curator's Report Mr. President, Members and Friends: The past year has been more or less uneventful as far as the museums are concerned. It was a slow and discouraging season at the Historical Rooms, the visitors numbering just over 800; but I am glad to say that this season has started with more visitors and we hope to exceed that number this year.

We have started a new plan with cards of admission to all the buildings owned by the Association, which are selling for one dollar and seem to be very popular. These cards are not transferable and are used by those who do not wish to become members, but would like to make several visits to the buildings.

Over two thousand cards have been written toward a new catalogue, and the task of re-numbering the articles in the collection has been started.

We have the same corps of faithful custodians in all the build­ ings, to whom we owe appreciation for their great interest in our welfare.

Among the accessions for the year are the usual number of old newspapers, photographs and scrap-books. We were pleased to receive a very fine photograph of the late Henry P. Starbuck, who was one of the first seven life members of our Association.

We have received another example of James Walter Folger's work in the form of a painting on wood of the old Oliver C. Backus house on Wauwinet road; also, the sign which hung for many years over the door of the Post Office on Main street, and the double window with which you are so familiar, which reads "General Delivery—Ladies" over one window and "General Delivery—Men" over the other. To an ardent historian we owe thanks for the last stamp sold at the old Post Office in the Masonic building and the first one purchased in the new Federal Post Office.

When our late President, Mr. Macy, was in North Carolina in 1934, he met a lady who told him a story that had been handed down to her, which was that the early settlers who had migrated from Nantucket to that section of North Carolina had painted their houses with whale oil and red mud. All these houses have been torn down, with the exception of one built by Thomas Starbuck, and the red boards have been stripped from this house, although some planks were saved and nailed on a chicken coop. A small piece of one of these boards has been sent to us by this interested lady, whose mother was a Starbuck, and the house mentioned was the home of her lather. It was painted dark red.

The extracts from the diary of Kezia Folger Coffin Fanning have always attracted much attention, and the past few weeks a descendant North Carolma> has been copying this diary, which she^w she states was copied from the original by her father. ^ 14 )§•

An interesting letter has been recently donated by a lady from Virginia. It was written by William Coffin of Nantucket in 1793 to Mr. Thomas Upshur, Jr., Attorney at Law, and was sent via Balti­ more in care of Capt. Peleg Bunker, of Nantucket. I would like to suggest that this letter be printed in the Proceedings this year, for its historical value.

[The letter reads as follows:] Nantucket, Dec. 8, 1793.

Dear Sir:

If you are not too much taken up with pleas of the case and will examine these few lines you will hear something from a person who perhaps you have not entirely forgot, and one that will never forget you and your kind father and mother who, I hope, together with your dear relations and friends are all well. I have never had the least account from the E. S. of Virginia since I received a letter from y®" so™f. ye^s past, at which time you informed me of the death of little Billy, but pray what has become of the rest of the family.

How happy should I be to hear of their welfare, John, Nancy, Sally Brown, and my dear little Molly. Sometimes we have arrivals at our port from Virginia. I hasten to the Key to enquire from what port, sometimes from Yorktown, then from Norfolk, one from Alex­ andria, near the "will be great" city of Washington, but not an arrival from Watchaprig (?), Mattapungo, or the Sand Shoal, that 1 might hear from my friends and acquaintances. Upon the receipt of this you will stand debtor to me two long letters which I shall expect by post. Twenty-five cents for a letter from you at any time would be cheerfully paid, besides 30% of that would belong to myself as 1 have the Commission of Post Master for Nantucket. What has become of Mr. Kendall and family, I am afraid to hear but I hope he is well. He was a good friend to me. Should I have the good fort,he Hotel, I would pay a visit to Virginia and I have the 50,000th chance for that. Should I miss of that which I may chance to, I expect to remain a prisoner during life upon the small sand heap of Nantucket. Should your business ever call you to the Northward, I should be happy to see you at this place. Nantucket is only 100 miles from Boston, good roads, stages, and packets con­ stantly passing. Pray why not load a small vessel with produce from a come yourself and spend a summer for your health. This is one of the healthiest places in America and a good market for Virginia Produce, viz: Carolina potatoes, as we call them; corn, pork, bacon, white beans not blackeye, peas.

I must give you a short account of this island. Nantucket lays Sas*Vand West—15 miles; North and South, 3 miles; Lat. 41° 10 N.; Long. 68° 48" W. from the meridian of London. It is 10 leagues from the main continent, is a County by itself, by the name o± Nantucket, has but one Incorporated Town, which is Sherborn, sends two Representatives to the General Court, but has a right to send more this year, furnishes member of Congress (which is a cousin of mine, Peleg Coffin, Esq.) The town of Sherborn contained at the census taken in 1790 577 houses, 4690 free inhabitants, no slaves—but since that time there has been an increase more than common on account of the War, as it has driven home a number who resided at Halifax and Dunkerque. i he chief business of the place is the whale fishery in which is employed about 25 ships of 230 tons, upward, and some few small vessels. The whales are as far as New Holland, Juan Fernand, •?a^ S Chili, Peru, and landed the year past about 2500 ton of 011 binder a vast quantity of whale bone. This business makes work 4 15

for a great number of mechanics, and many of the owners themselves work in making casks for in the absence of their ships, and on their return put on their frock and trousers, cart and cooper their own oil. If a Sans Cutolle (?) frenchman was here he would exclaim Ca, Ira, Ca, Ira-Liberte et Egalite en Perfection; this supports the bus­ iness says the industrious owner.

We have now a sail cloth manufactory, which employs 50 or 60 hands, all girls except the Weavers, and turn off about 400 yards of cloth a week, equal to any imported. The inhabitants are very indus­ trious, good, kind and benevolent, two thirds Quakers, the other third Presbyterians and Nothingarians. We have but one Fair in a year which is in the fore part of June, indeed some call it sheep shearing, it lasts four days, at which time the Town is crowded with people from the Continent, some on business but most part on pleasure.

There is about eleven or twelve thousand sheep which produce on an average.

What should you think of being confined for life on the island of Nantucket. I suppose such a thing would strike you disagreeably, but there is numbers who live till they are very old and never set foot on the Continent. As small as it is, I was never at the extreme east or west and for some years I dare say have not been one mile from town. I will give you a little sketch of myself and close. I have a wife and five children, have had six, but lost one last summer, which was a boy, the remainder are all of the feminine gender. I carry on the business of wig-making, hair-draping, and keep the Post Office and trade some, altogether make a good living and lay up a little against a rainy day. As to the politics of the Town all I can say is that Nous Sommes tout Patriotic ici. Adieu.

William Coffin.

Should you be in Philadelphia during the session of Congress, please call on Mr. Peleg Coffin, Esq. You will find him a gentleman and will hear some more particulars from your Old Scout. W. C. The custodian has several times placed our two cinnamon bears out on the lawn in front of the museum to acquire some sunshine, and they appear to attract a great deal of attention. They are taken for dogs and folks passing by whistle to them and snap their fingers at them, and several have taken snapshots of them. This seems to be good advertising and suggests that other interesting objects might be placed outside to attract the attention of the passer-by.

At the Oldest House the attendance last year was over one thousand and visitors express their interest in the interior of the house. We are celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the building of the house on August 5th with "open house," and we hope you and your friends will visit us on that day.

At the Whaling Museum the attendance last year was over six thousand and we think it will exceed that number this year. There have been very few accessions this year, but among those of interest are two fine old French whaling prints, the Log of the Bon Homme Richard, and several books and pamphlets for the library. A gen­ tleman from Dunedin, New Zealand, has sent us two pamphlets. One is the "Early History of Otago" and the other "New Zealand His­ tory: Its Interest and Value," both of which are published by the Otago Branch of the New Zealand Historical Association.

4 16 >

It is at the Whaling Museum that we mostly miss our late friend, William F. Macy. It was his main interest and we shall try to carry on in the ways that he would approve. The continuing growth of the collection and additions to our fine library will ever be our objective, and in this way we shall carry out his plans as he would have done if he were still with us.

Once more we stress the value of our Association to this com­ munity, and ask for your co-operation by telling your friends and the visitors to the island that a visit to our several buildings will well repay them. We hope that everyone will bear in mind that our fire-proof building is a safe repository for any valuable historical objects or papers and give them to us that all may enjoy them.

Respectfully submitted, NANCY S. ADAMS, Curator.

President's Address In 1879 my father and his family moved to Nantucket. We lived on Traders Lane not far from the home of William F. Macy—which was then on the corner of Main and Pine streets where Mrs. Phebe Small now lives.

My first recollection of meeting with the boys of Nantucket was when I was gathered up with a number of other little fellows by two big boys, one of whom was Will Macy. We were told that we were "Indians" and to go out on the plains (that is, the streets, by­ ways and back-yards of the neighborhood) and that they, the big boys, were "scouts", by name "Dick Lewis" and "Bob Kelly"— characters taken from a series of books called "The Frank Series", very popular with boys in 1880. "Frank on Don Carlos Ranch"—the dream of every one of us.

"Dick Lewis" was Bill Macy, and a wonderful scout he was (and remained so through life). He captured the Indians by the armful, and many hours I spent in captivity in the cellar of the burned house that was located on the corner of Winter and Main streets, directly opposite Macy's home. Such was the beginning of my friendship with a man who was a president of your association for more than ten years, and it continued a very strong one until his death in August of last year—a period of over 55 years.

During the years of my education away from the island, Bill spent the Christmas vacations here with my family so that he and I could get away right after Christmas Day for duck shooting. He generally arrived on the same boat I came on. Through all the years he was the same true, honest, sincere friend to the very end. Frequently his 4 17 )•>

advice to me as a young fellow, five years his junior, was timely and in good order for which I have thanked him. Not that we didn't have our scraps, we sure did; but such things simply cemented our friend­ ship the closer. I am telling you this that you may know that I knew Mr. William P. Macy, your late President, and he was true-blue, the very best friend a man could have.

As to what he did for Nantucket you know as well as I. Do you ever speak of the attractions of Nantucket without mentioning the properties of the Nantucket Historical Association and, perhaps the best known, the Whaling Museum? The Whaling Museum was his endeavor and is his monument. Without him it would not have been.

The Rev. Mr. Sanderson and Mr. Macy's assistants made it possible only by Mr. Macy's guidance and perseverance.

In West Medford, where he lived for many years, he took much interest in civic affairs and worked hard for the Neighborhood Club.

In Boston he was secretary and guiding spirit of the Pudding Stone Club (an old debating society) for over twenty years. He held office and was active in the 20th Century Club, Authors Club, Boston City Club, and various business associations. I have always been proud of Bill's achievements.

To follow such a man as president of your Association is a fear­ some proposition, and it was with fear, mingled with pleasure and pride, that I took over the work when appointed by the Council last September. All things accomplished during the year have been done with the consent and hard work of the Council, and all committees have functioned wisely and well.

The membership is now about 900. This is rather less than last year because the list was very carefully gone over and many cards that were in arrears for some time were destroyed. Then there was the usual loss by death, and a number of the cards in the file had no address or Nantucket addresses of summer visitors who apparently were members for one year only. This loss was partly made up by about fifty new members. I believe the largest real membership was 1003 which, at the present rate new members are joining the Associa­ tion, will soon be reached. I would like you to know that our mem­ bership is one of the largest of any historical association in New England. It is necessary that it stay so, for memberhip dues enable us to carry on.

You have heard the Treasurer's report which I wish to explain to you briefly. Our trust funds remain as before, but the money at interest has been reduced from $14,000 plus to $9,000 plus. $2500 taken from the Carnegie Fund and $2500 from the Life Membership Fund were used to reduce the mortgage on the Whaling Museum to $5000. We were receiving 3% in the Savings Bank and paid 6% on our $10,000 mortgage. The standing mortgage of $5,000 is now placed at 5% interest. This makes an annual saving of nearly $200.

Two years ago about $1,800 was spent in repairs on the Old Mill. Last year we had notes to the amount of $1,250 at 5% interest 4 18 js-

outstanding on this project and $1,200 still to pay on a loan of $5,000 on the Whaling Museum. This year our notes on the Mill are $750. Mr. Fred Fuller presented his note of $250 to the Association in memory of his friend Mr. William Macy and Mr. Macy's executors have told us that Mr. Macy's note of $250 will be given to us. The $1200 debt on the Whaling Museum has been reduced to $600, $.J00 by Mr. Macy's will and $300 by cash payment. We have now a gross debt of $6,350, all but $600 of which is at 5% interest.

The finishing repairs on the Old Mill, which have made it as good as ever, are completed at a cost of nearly $700. This we are trying to pay off without making any loans.

The attendance at the various exhibits has been rather better than usual so far this year. As you know, the Fair Street exhibit is very good, so please tell your friends about it. It does not have the attendance it is worthy of.

Charles E. Congdon, President.

John Paul Jones and His Nantucket Sea

By Edouard A. Stackpole Perhaps no period in the history of our country is more fascin­ ating in its interest than that embracing the time of the Revolution.

Certainly it was a critical and stirring test for true partriotism, and it established a number of national heroes who have become almost legendary in this age. Among these outstanding figures is John Paul Jones, justly ranked by historians as the greatest sea-fighter of his time.

Nantucket has an unusual connection with the famous activities of Captain Jones—a connection by which a small group of island seamen have an exciting share in the glorious exploits that have since occupied favorite pages in history's volume.

The Society of the Sons of the Revolution is represented in Nan­ tucket by the "Thomas Turner Chapter," which has the honor of being the only chapter in Massachusetts outside of the Boston society. This Nantucket Chapter was formed in December, 1932, and met in the historic Pacific Club for organization, receiving its name from Thomas Turner, a petty officer, who was killed in the memorable action between the Bon Homme Richard and the Serapis, on Septem­ ber 23, 1777, in the North Sea. At the time of the Revolution the island of Nantucket was a Quaker community controlling the greatest whaling fleet in the world. For the most part the islanders were opposed to war on principle, and it was only the young and impetuous among the many seamen who joined the Continental navy and army. These volunteers were promptly disowned by the Society of Friends. Due to the fact that the Society would make no record of the erring ex-member, aside from the bare statement "disowned for going to sea in an armed vessel," it is an almost impossible task to uncover what these Nantucketers actually did, or in what engagements they took part.

The descendants of many of these sailors and soldiers are well represented in our island Chapter, the deeds of their illustrious fore­ bears giving them proud possession a heritage which they prize.

However, as a unit this Chapter is especially proud of that band of courageous Nantucketers who fought under John Paul Jones. This group includes the following:

20 ]&•

Just when these seamen joined the infant United States Navy is not known. Owen Starbuck and Henry Gardner were with Jones on the Alfred, and the others joined him on the Ranger and the Bon Homme Richard, as the archives of the government show. It is safe to assume that several were with Starbuck and Gardner on the Providence, a sloop-of-war on which Jones made a successful cruise after leaving the Alfred and before being placed in command of the Ranger. * *

There was nothing about the early life of John Paul to indicate that he should become the outstanding naval hero of the Revolution.

Neither was there any development of such traits as, some of his biographers would have us believe, would make him a court gallant, a linguist and a man of great personal charm. He was primarily a man of action—a seafighter; hot-headed and crafty, stubborn and shrewd; but above all, a born leader of men.

The struggles of John Paul from his early childhood and his first exploits are not to be treated in this paper. But all who are familiar with those first years know that the spirit of the man became slowly developed for the destiny that was ultimate. His life, following his triumphs, reads like fiction, and when he died at the age of forty-five he had crowded a dozen vigorous lifetimes into the soaring flight that marked his own.

It will be remembered that when Jones entered the young navy he was forced to accept a lieutenant's berth, instead of the captaincy to which he was entitled, due to the political endeavors of certain New Englanders. And so he became a senior officer aboard the ship Alfred, under Captain Saltonstall, which sailed out of Philadelphia on February 17, 1776.

The Alfred was one of a squadron of four ships, the first squaddron to represent the United States (declared free states in '76). The tiny fleet made its first cruise down to the Bahamas, returning to New London, Conn., in April, with the crews to a man disgusted with their commanders. Commodore Hopkins was subsequently dis­ missed, so it would seem as if some of the experienced officers had prevailed upon Congress to take drastic steps.

Aboard the Alfred during this desultory and unfortunate cruise were two young Nantucket seamen—Henry Gardner and Owen Starbuck. Lieut. John Paul must have talked with them, gained their confidence. It was a characteristic with him to become intimate with those of his crew who were better than average seamen.

The fleet commands were eventually broken up, with considerable ill-feeling among the chief officers. Congress, realizing at last that politics must not enter into the navy if the war was to be won, made several appointments. Jones' record was recognized and he was given the sloop-of-war Providence, 14 guns and 110 men. When he assumed command of his new ship he took with him but nine from the crew of the Alfred, and among the nine were the two Nantucketers above mentioned.

•<8f 21 )§•

The Providence sailed for New York, put aboard a new crew (for Jones knew its crew at the time was composed mainly of landsmen), then returned through the sound to Newport, putting to sea on the 14th of June, 1776.

The cruise of the Providence was as successful as it was daring.

Jones returned to sail again, this time with the Alfred as consort.

Once more his work so impressed Congress that it lost no time in making its gratitude known in a practical manner. * *

On the 14th day of June, 1777, the Congress adopted the flag of thirteen stars and thirteen stripes as the official banner of the United States. On that same day it did something that was far more important—it placed Capt. John Paul Jones in command of the ship Ranger. This famous ship was built for speed, being 116 feet long, 28 feet beam, with a hull 13 feet deep. She was newly coppered, but was a little too over-sparred, although her crew over­ came her uneasiness in her work to windward by its fine seamanship.

The crew of the Ranger was considered the finest ever to sail under the illustrious John Paul; in fact, he declared so in as many words: "The best crew I ever had." The Nantucket men in this crew numbered twenty-one. While it may be true that the Ranger's men were hoping for a cruise that was more akin to privateering than naval maneuvering, when once put to the test, with few excep­ tions, they did their duty manfully and well.

Captain Jones was forced to delay his departure from Ports­ mouth for two months, the ship's outfitting being unfortunately long.

Just before sailing the news arrived that Burgoyne, trapped on the upper Hudson, had surrendered. Upon receipt of official word, Jones sailed on the last day of October, 1777. On the 2nd day of December, 1777—33 days later—he had the news in Prance. The fast time made by this ship-of-war shows what sort of a crew manned her. But the honor of bringing the first news of the surrender went to a swift merchant ship, bearing a courier, which had sailed from Boston two days before the Ranger left Portsmouth, but had arrived in Prance less than 24 hours ahead of Jones.

When Jones sailed the Ranger into the harbour of Brest, on the 13th of February, 1778, he arranged for and received the first salute given the flag of our country by a foreign power. * *

The cruise of the Ranger which followed is a familiar story.

How she ravaged the British shipping in the English channel, ter­ rorized the coastal towns on the North and Irish seas; and how her name became a spark to light thousands of hearts in American breasts has been recounted many times. It must thrill us all to realize that a little band of Nantucketers had a prominent part in the exploits of this "Yankee raider."

Because the Ranger was able to elude the British frigates so easily, and because Jones was crafty enough to make his presence known all about the British coast, were the reasons why the sur22 )>

prised Admiralty became alarmed to the extent of losing confidence.

Insurance rates rose to unheard of figures.

For the first time the British nation began to realize that it was meeting a class of seafighters equal to its own. The Ranger's cruise was also of the ut­ most importance in that it established a morale and spirit in the hearts of American seamen everywhere. The men who served under Jones at this time were, without exception, outstanding seamen, as they later proved under other commands.

However, it is not so well known that Jones had to war against not only the British but against that misguided American minister Arthur Lee who, through official bungling, allowed British spies to inform the Admiralty of the Ranger's cruisings. In view of this in­ formation the British dispatched the 20-gun sloop-of-war Drake to track down the "Yankee raider." It was not until after Jones had made his daring raid upon the town of Whitehaven that the Drake finally met her quarry—but in a much different manner than had been anticipated. Jones, learning that the other vessel was in Belfast Lough, calmly hove to off the mouth of the roadstead and waited for the Drake to come out.

During the action that followed (April 24, 1778) the superior gunnery of the Ranger's men completely routed the gun-crews aboard the Englishmen. It is a matter of pride to record that the 2nd Master Gunner in command was none other than Henry Gardner of Nan­ tucket, while one of the Quarter-Gunners was Owen Starbuck. In a letter to his friend Joseph Hewes, Commodore Jones wrote, "I have never seen men handle guns as they (his gunners) handled the Ranger's nine-pounders." * *

* *

* *

* *

* *

But even more illustrative of our Nantucketers' grit is an anecdote of that engagement told by Captain Jones. He noticed that his quarter-gunners had caught the Drake's roll exactly, and were timing their shots so as to hull the Englishman continually below the waterline. Jones was anxious to make a prize of the vessel, and so he called out to Quarter-Gunner Owen Starbuck, asking why his crew fired so low.

Captain Jones writes: "Starbuck replied, 'To sink the d Englishman, sir!"'

The commander then announced his intention of making a prize of the Drake, upon which his gunners changed their timing so as to cripple the ship's spars and so prevent her escape. The idea of a defeat never entered those Yankee hearts. The feeling of perfect confidence, shared by captain and crew, makes the great success of the Ranger's cruise much more understandable.

Matthew Starbuck was severely wounded while engaging the Drake, but recovered in time to take part in the next great cruise and in the further action against the Serapis on the Bon Homme Richard.

Second Master-Gunner Henry Gardner was also wounded in this engagement. Some time later, upon capturing an English whaleship < 23

bound for Hull, with a valuable cargo of oil below hatches, Jones put Gardner aboard her as prize master and the Nantucketer brought her safely into Brest. This was a notable feat, as the prize was of considerable value and the British cruisers were scouring the English Channel with instructions to burn or sink every American privateer that hove into sight. * *

It is difficult to understand why a man of Paul Jones' apparent ability should have had to literally fight as hard while ashore to retain his position in the United States Navy as he did at sea against the enemy. Time and again, enraged at the jealousy and intrigue with which he was faced, he was ready to openly fight Lee and his hireling secretaries, but the wise Franklin always persuaded him to bear up with patience, thereby saving Lee's life and Captain Jones' naval career.

All the while he remained in France with a command, Jones was always seeking and hoping for a frigate—a ship large enough for him to meet one of England's larger ships of war and, by de­ feating her, establish the fact that the American navy was equal to the British, given opportunity to fight on the same terms. But the wait in France was long and dreary. Many of his men left to go privateering. It must be realized that the Ranger's crew had shipped for a year only from October 1, 1777. Some were anxious to return home. Others, due to the reputation of the Ranger, were in demand as officers on privateers. The majority of the Nantucketers remained in European waters, serving on various privateers.

We all know how Jones was finally informed that the new frigate being built for him in Holland had been seized by the Dutch govern­ ment; and how, disappointed and bitter, he was at length given the command of an old, remodelled East Indiaman—the Bon Homme Richard—a craft of much larger tonnage than the Ranger but pos­ sessing little more than sheer bulk. In a crew of 375 men had been shipped nearly two hundred non-Americans, made up of English prisoners-of-war, French and Portuguese sailors, and 122 French marines. Jones had picked up a smattering of languages during his years at sea and was able to gain the confidence of French and Poruguese seamen whom he knew were to be trusted. He personally en­ gaged these for service on the Richard.

Not more than fifty of the original crew of the Richard were Yankees, and of the ten officers three were Nantucketers. With the Alliance, Pallas and Vengeance as his fleet, Jones sailed the Richard out of the harbor of L'Orient on June 19, 1779. Two days later the Alliance fouled the Richard badly, and the fleet put back into port so that repairs could be made. Other matters soon intervened and it was a matter of six weeks before the squadron sailed again.

The situation had its fortunate side, however. A number of American prisoners arrived in France in exchange for a British cartel. Jones immediately arranged for the transfer of 100 of these ex-privateersmen to his ship, discharging a like number of aliens, 24

and placing thirty-five Americans aboard the Alliance. Among those rejoining Jones on the Bon Homme Richard was Henry Gardner, just released from an English prison. At daybreak on the 14th of August, the little fleet again sailed away from the French coast.

It has generally been supposed that the entire 21 Nantucketers who sailed with Jones on the Ranger also served on the Richard, but this is not borne out by the facts. It must be remembered that sev­ eral months had elapsed since Jones left the Ranger and the Nan­ tucketers had been scattered in the privateering service, so that only ten were represented on. the Richard—but these ten left their mark. * *

The story of the sea-fight between the Bon Homme Richard and Serapis is too well-known to be recounted here. Suffice to say that in the moonlight off Flamborough Head, on the 23rd of September, 1779, John Paul Jones and his crew won undying fame in capturing the new British "forty-four," the Serapis. Despite the treachery of Capt.

Landais of the Alliance; despite the poor, old unwieldy Richard and the peril of mutinous prisoners on board; the real qualities of Jones, the sea-fighter—tempered by blood and powder of a terrific battle reached their greatest peak and enabled him to lead his men to a glorious naval victory—the greatest of the entire war.

But the most significant factor established by this sea-fight has been forgotten by historians. The manner in which the mixed crew of the Richard fought was a great criterion of the spirit of free­ dom that fired the brave hearts of loyal men of many races under the flag of our young country. The French marine and the Portuguese and Scandinavian seamen who kept the deck of the Richard fought side by side with their Yankee officers and shipmates.

The young officer Thomas Turner was the first Nantucketer to die. Henry Gardner was wounded early in the fighting. When Chief Gunner Randall was shorn of his command the task was given to Gardner, who was terribly handicapped as the gun-deck of the ship had long since been smashed into a shambles. But he kept the spardeck carronades firing continually throughout the battle.

Taking advantage of a clumsy maneuver on the part of the British captain, Jones ran the bowsprit of his sinking ship over the lee quarter of the Serapis. Grappling irons soon lashed the ships to­ gether and Jones prepared to board in one last desperate attempt to turn defeat into victory.

What determined the course of the battle was the discharge of a small hand grenade causing an explosion in the lower tier of the Serapis. In obedience to the Commodore's orders, Henry Gardner had a number of buckets filled with hand grenades sent up to the main top, where three men went out along the main yard of the Richard, directly over the deck of the other ship. The main hatch of the Sera­ pis opened a little, and could be seen through the smoke. From their perch on the Richard's yard Lieut. Fanning, Peter Nolte, a Scandinavian, and Jerry Evans, of Nantucket, bombarded the British­ er's deck with grenades. Finally one thrown by Fanning went down 25 >

through the hatch to cause an explosion which nearly tore the gundeck to splinters—creating a situation which forced Captain Pearson to surrender.

The Nantucket group on board suffered the loss of three men by death—Thomas Turner, Henry Martin and James Nicholson. The wounded included Henry Gardner and Daniel Swain. **

Heretofore it has been conceded that Lieut. Reuben Chase was the outstanding Nantucket seaman to fight for the embattled Colonies during the Revolution. The cold archives of the government disprove this, however. Henry Gardner, master-gunner, is clearly entitled to that honor. But there is glory enough for all the Nantucketers, and the six-foot-four figure of the sturdy Reuben Chase remains as one of the most romantic in this group of adventure-seeking islanders.

Reuben Chase was cheated out of the chance to take part in the victory over the Serapis. It seems that, just before dusk, Lieut. Lunt and 14 men were put in charge of a captured pilot-boat sent in­ shore to reconnoiter. Reuben Chase was second in command of this craft. At some distance from the Richard the captured pilot-boat was becalmed off the headland of Flamborough. A breeze came up just as the Richard signalled for the pilot-boat to return, the English fleet had been sighted. But a second calm fell over the face of the North Sea, and when night fell the little party of Americans on the pilot-boat were forced to watch their main ship come to deathgrips with the Serapis. Contrary winds baffled early attempts to ar­ rive at the scene, and it was not until the end of the battle that the party finally clambered up the side of the Serapis. * *

Two other Nantucketers in the Richard's original crew were also denied opportunity to take part in the fighting. A month before, while off the coast of Ireland, the Richard was becalmed too close inshore for comfort. A launch was sent out to tow the vessel. Ten of this launch-crew were former British navy-men, and when the boat was some distance from the ship they overpowered the two officers and escaped ashore. Cutting Lunt, sailing master of the Richard, rashly took a small boat and went in pursuit. The party had two Nantucketers—William Roberts and John Pinkham. Lunt's recklessness was ill rewarded, for he was forced ashore when a companion ship of the fleet fired upon him by mistake, and the party was captured. ** ** «* ** •• Upon the return of the Richard to France, a number of her officers were given command of two new French privateers. Lieut Fanning became commander of the La Sonne Aventure, with Lieut.

Reuben Chase second in command. Lieut. John Mayrant took out L'Eclipse, with Henry Gardner his first officer. Both these privateers made outstanding voyages, the former bringing in the most valuable prizes ever taken into a French port by a privateer. *8f 26 £•

Aside from his fighting abilities, which won the personal praise of Jones, Reuben Chase was a navigator of the first rank, and for many years subsequent to the Revolution was a successful packet master in the New York to London trade. It has been claimed that James Fenimore Cooper had him in mind as the character of "Long Tom Coffin" in The Pilot. * »

Henry Gardner, "the best master gunner I ever had," said Jones, was commissioned by his Commodore to take charge of the armament of the new ship America, at Portsmouth, in 1782. This was the largest seventy-four gun ship ever built in this country and was afterwards presented to France as a gift from this country to her old ally.

In connection with this important assignment, Commodore Jones wrote in his journal: "I had anticipated much difficulty in mounting the battery. But just in the nick of time I was joined by my old gunner, Henry Gard­ ner, who had then recently returned from a great privateering cruise .... in French ships. Had I been permitted to choose I would have selected Mr. Gardner in preference to all others I knew for this particular service. I at once secured his aid; rating him an acting gunner of the America.

Mr. Gardner took entire charge of mounting of the battery... .he also took supervision of the internal fittings of the magazine; besides attending to the racks for small arms. His services were invaluable, and much of the good condition of the America when finished was due to his skill and diligence." *• »* ** ** ** It remained for a Nantucket man, Lieut. Alexander B. Pinkham, to have the honor of restoring the birthplace of Jones in Arbigland, Scotland, in 1831—but that is another story.

It will be fitting to close with words from that Master-Gunner of the Bon Homme Richard—Henry Gardner of Nantucket. He wrote: "I sailed, in my time, with many captains; but with only one Jone Paul Jones. He was the captain of captains. Any other com­ mander I sailed with had some kind of method or fixed rule which he exerted towards all those under him alike. It suited some and others not; but it was the same rule and all the time toward everybody.

Not so with John Paul Jones. He always knew every officer and man of his crew as one friend knows another.

"He was very strict . . Above all things, however, he hated a cat-o'-nine tails. He told his men that, many years before, he had seen a man die under the lash, being 'flogged through the fleet' at Jamaica. 'I tell you, my men,' he said, 'that when I become convinced that a sailor of mine must be killed, I will not leave it to be done by the boatswain's mate under slow torture of the lash, but I will do it myself, and so d quick that it will make your heads swim!' " That characterizes Jones the "sea-dog," the man of action. May his stirring story, as well as the deeds of those loyal Nantucketers who helped to make history under him, remain a living memory, and make us eager to preserve the record as "Sons of the Revolution."

The Old North Burying Ground.

By Charles P. Kimball.

At a special town meeting on August 14, 1923, the Town took over the Old North Cemetery, so-called, under the statute which permits towns to take possession of abandoned or neglected burying grounds. In so doing it appointed this Association agent thereof, though of just what the duties of agent consisted, it was not specified.

Suffice it to say that up to this past winter, neither the Town nor the Association had taken any action for this ward, beyond a rather half-hearted moving of brush the first year.

This winter, however, the Town was able to divert some of the Government's lavish outpourings into useful work on the Old North Cemetery, and although only the clearer southern half has been brought into a semblance of tidiness, we have been promised a fur­ ther and sufficient subsidy this fall to finish the work of clearing up the brambles and possibly righting the fallen tombstones.

Through an appropriation from the Town we have also been enabled to put in a complete circuit of privet hedge, which as it grows will eventually replace the uninspiring wooden fence that now guards three sides only of the lot. We should also like to map the lot and have a permanent record of the location of the gravestones now standing, but all that, of course, depends on how far we can stretch the funds.

So much for the recent history. Now as to its past.

Unfortunately, very little information appears to be available relative to the beginnings of the Old North Cemetery. Godfrey, in his Nantucket Guide, published in 1882, says that William C. Folger, a well-known antiquarian, is authority for the statement that it was originally the private burying ground of the Gardner family, and that the first interment was that of Abigail Gardner, wife of Nathaniel, who died March 15, 1709. She was the daughter of James Coffin and Mary Severance. Nathaniel was the son of the first Richard Gardner and Sarah Shattuck.

It is common knowledge that descriptions of real estate of that period are mostly by bounds that cannot be located today. Conse­ quently it is not surprising that the original set-off of this particular piece of land has not yet been established, although it is not far from the so-called Crooked Record set off to Richard Gardner.

Nor does the will of Nathaniel (he died in 1713) give us any clue, his land being simply left in part to his children and in part to be sold for their advantage. During his lifetime he made no conveyance to the Town, nor in any other way recorded his desire, if such he had, of making this lot a public cemetery. Nor is there any such con­ veyance on the part of his immediate descendants. Godfrey states further that Richard Gardner, Jr., Esq., who died in 1728, was also buried here, but when the place became a more public burial ground 4 28 ]§<•

is not apparent. The oldest tombstone now standing is that of Margret Hussey, wife of Obed Hussey, and bears the date Dec. 14, 1746. As she was the daughter of John and Margret Wilson, it must have been at or before this time that persons other than Gardners were buried here.

Between that date and the last interment, that of Robert Ratliff, the master rigger, in 1882, many hundreds were laid to rest in this peaceful spot, some after a commonplace death from old age, others amid storm and shipwreck. Among the crowd of "village Hampdens" and "mute, inglorious Miltons" there is a very generous sprinkling of men who left their mark. Of these, Robert Ratliff has been men­ tioned, and two others must suffice—Reuben Chase and Robert Inot.

Mr. Stackpole has very kindly informed me, as a result of his re­ searches, that Captain Inot was the first actual commander of the steamship Savannah, but that his command was limited to taking her from New York, where she was built, to Savannah. However, there is one other tombstone which arouses interest, that of Phebe Allen, which was "Erected by a number of young men friends of the deceased". The story is given in the Inquirer for July 26, 1849, as follows: "One of the most dreadful accidents that ever occurred at Nan­ tucket took place last Tuesday at Madaket. A large party of young gentlemen and ladies from Town were spending the day at Capt.

Nathan Chase's and, between ten and eleven o'clock in the forenoon, nine of the company—six ladies and three gentlemen—went out in a boat bluefishing. About noon, when off Eel Point, something more than a mile from shore, in coming about, the sheet of the sail got caught and the boat upset and sunk. The three young men, all being whalemen and used to similar accidents, succeeded very soon in cutting away the mast, rolling the ballast out, and getting the ladies who were, of course, very much frightened onto the bottom of the boat. Here they supported them for about an hour, sometimes in one position, and sometimes in another, the boat constantly rolling; until at length they were able to place them in such a position that one of the young men, Mr. Benjamin S. Morton, thought it would be safe for him to leave and swim ashore for assistance, it being very evident, as they were immersed in the water up to their armpits, that they were rapidly becoming chilled and were, moreover, slowly drifting out to sea, and unless help could soon be procured, they must all perish.

He, accordingly, after consulting with his companions, took off his clothes and started for the nearest land—Eel Point. In crossing two tide rips which lay between him and the shore he came very near drowning; he finally succeeded, however, in reaching the shore, but was so much exhausted when he landed, that he could not stand.

"About this time, Capt. Chase, having discovered a few minutes before, the situation of the party, left the shore near his home in company with two or three others, in a boat, to render assistance.

They made the best of their way for the sunken boat, but having •$29 ]3>

two miles to go, two of the young ladies had perished before they reached them. Their bodies were found inside the boat, entangled in the lines, where they had fallen when unable to hold on any longer.

The survivors, and the bodies of those who were drowned, were taken into Capt. Chase's boat and brought immediately to the shore. Those who were saved were very much exhausted; some of them were eonfined to their beds yesterday. The only wonder is that any of the party escaped with their lives; they would not have done so, had it not been for the coolness, courage and energy of the young men.

"The names of those who were drowned are Susan P. Cleveland, a daughter of Mr. Zimri Cleveland, aged 25, and Phebe Allen, a daugh­ ter of Mr. George Allen deceased, aged 18. Both of the young ladies, we are informed, were particularly beloved and respected by all who knew them. This dreadful termination to an excursion which was entered upon with the brightest anticipations of pleasure, excited the most intense consternation among the members of the company—• the ladies in particular.

"The following are the names of those who were saved from the sunken boat: Sarah S. Folger, Harriet S. Folger, Eliza B. Folger, Ann G. Smith, Benjamin S. Morton, William A. Folger, and John D. Mitchell."

Such was the tragic end of a bluefishing expedition, and now let us go back to Nathaniel Gardner, or rather to his estate, for the inventory of it makes very interesting reading as illustrating the worldly possessions of a man in comfortable circumstances at that period. It is very specific and occupies four double-column pages in the Probate Records. The total appraised value is set at £484 15s 8d.

Some of the more interesting items are as follows: 3 pillowbers 6|6 (pillowber is an archaic term for pillow case). Some linnin (sic) cloth £5 19s 4d. More linnin cloth £2 19s 8d. A parcel of knives from London £18 12s lid. A parcel of needles from London 15|-. 3 pr. silk gloves £1 10s. Dwelling house and garden with its fence £70.

This inclusion of the fence was a matter of some importance, as we find further on—fencing about the lot £8 5s. Six fish hooks were valued at 1|6. A silver cup £4 4s 5d. Nathaniel was either in the hat business or very much of a dandy, for his estate contained no less than 33 hats, ranging in value from 3|- to 20|-, and caps at 5|- the lot.

He had one boat and craft valued at £4 12s, and from the conjoined use of the two terms, one suspects that there was a fine distinction of meaning, now lost. There is mention of Indian debts £13 17s 4d.

And one last item worth mentioning— % acre of land $2. Could this by any chance be the original cemetery ? But whether it is or not, I can recommend the perusal of Nathaniel's estate to anyone interested in the life of the period. It is a fascinating description, and has the further recommendation of being written in a beautiful, legible hand.

The Friends of Nantucket.

By Helen Winslow, winner of first prize in Nantucket Historical Association's essay contest.

On Nantucket the "Friends" were a religious body early in the history of the island. Some of the most illustrious people were Friends or "Quakers" as they were called by their enemies.

The first mention of this organization in the history of Nan­ tucket is that in 1688 an English Friend visited the island. Others came later, but it is only known that they came on religious visits.

Ten years later Thomas Chalkley, famous Quaker captain, mer­ chant and preacher, visited the island. He was graciously received by the inhabitants and held very large meetings here. He wrote in his journal that he was asked by the minister why he, a very young person, came here and he answered that it was "purely in love of the gospel". Then the minister asked him to preach in his house in God's name. In the journal he wrote that he did and there was a very large meeting there that night.

From 1698 to 1704 several ministers and their companions visited the island.

In 1704 Nathaniel and Mary Starbuck became convinced of the Friends' principles. Chalkley, in his journal, speaks of Mary as a woman of great energy of mind and true, strong Christian character.

She and her husband were the first from among the Friends of he island to become ministers. Under their supervision a meeting was established and a meeting house was built.

The meetings had so greatly increased that in 1708 a yearly meeting was started and they continued having annual meetings for nearly seventy years.

Many Friends from New England, New York and Pennsylvania attended the meetings and in 1706, 1722, and 1737 the famous physi­ cian and Quaker preacher, Dr. John Fothergill, of London, came to the island as minister.

His son, Samuel Fothergill, came also as a minister in 1755.

During the seventy years of annual meetings over five hundred ministers and their companions visited the island. Many were noted men in the history of Pennsylvania. The famous Benjamin Lay, who preached against slavery and its principles refusing to use the known products of slave labor, was among them.

Many of the Friends of the island were opposed to slavery.

Elihu Coleman, a minister in the society, was very much against slavery and in 1729 he published a pamphlet on the sin of slaveholding.

The subject of slavery was discussed in their monthly business meetings and, at an early date, 1727, the minutes of one of the meetings declared it to be a wrong and a sin and the society should not tolerate it or allow its continuance or practice among the members.

-«{31

The meeting in Nantucket, and others in New England protested until the whole body of Friends in that locality had done away with it and soon no member of the society of Friends in America could own a slave or hire his labor from a slave owner.

The society of Friends of Nantucket during the first seventy years of the century furnished many men and women who preached the gospel in America and England.

The Quakers did not as a body care to hold offices un'der the general government. It has been said that the peaceful principles and lives of the Friends have had a great influence on the ways and manners of the people.

The society, even in its earliest years, advocated the general education of its members. And it had always been a positive rule that every child capable of learning should be educated. And if the parents were not able to pay the expenses the organization must assist. Those who needed help in their business affairs always found aid and counsel, socially arid financially.

This made mutual interest stronger in the welfare of the families and in each other.

The greater social equality of women among Friends and their equal share in the affairs was over that enjoyed by women of other religious organizations and the quiet simplicity of the lives they practiced had good influences in their homes and on all about them.

As early as 1820 women were educated. Two went from Nan­ tucket to Providence, Rhode Island, as teachers in the large boarding school that was organized and carried on by the society of Friends in New England for the education of their children and directly under their supervision.

The Quakers had always acknowledged the right and duty of their women to preach the gospel.

Three women Friends left the island in the early part of the nineteenth century. They travelled in New England, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ten­ nessee and the Carolinas holding meetings and preaching. They en­ dured many hardships as the states were sparsely populated and the roads few and poor. They rode on horseback visiting the settlers in their log-cabins, carrying their message to all, without hope of reward, and paying their own expenses, gratefully accepting all kindnesses shown to them. One of the women visited England and Ireland with a companion from New York.

Almost all of the men belonging to the society of Friends were engaged in commerce.

Many owned ships that brought home rich cargoes from foreign ports such as teas from China, rice and silk from ports on the Hoogly and Ganges, iron from Sweden and from Russia came hemp and duck. Their ships were seen in all important trading ports and they sailed every sea in search of seals or whales. Always they acted on the principle of peace wherever they went.

The Quakers were not politicians in the modern sense of the word but they wished for good government and just laws. They were far in advance in their views in most or all reforms. They held positions of trust and responsibility without "showing off" and were honored as well as honoring.

-§{ 32 )§<•

The Friends have been members of the Legislature, as senators and representatives. One Quaker was State Treasurer for five years (as long as he could hold the office). He was respected and on intimate terms, socially as well as officially, with the two governors under whom he served.

The Friends led and did not follow in giving general education, in the anti-slavery movement, in peace, and in an endeavor to soften the hard duties of life.

During the first quarter of the nineteenth century the organiza­ tion reached its greatest power, having for its membership one-fifth of the population of the island. There were two meeting houses where many attended who were not members but who liked the quietness and peacefulness of the life and religion of the Quakers.

The Quakers were respected by all and had influence for the good of all about them.

Then theological speculation took the place of quiet faith, and opinions were discussed instead of the stating of true faith and belief, sure hope and trust. It broke in on their quiet homes and religious life. Many were bewildered and did not advance in a Christian course and life. The society had grown beyond their simple beliefs and would arise again with greater power. But whatever hope there was for the continuance of the society seemed to scatter and in the latter part of the 19th century few members remained.

In the spring of 1894, as only one member of the meeting lived at Nantucket, it was decided to sell the meeting house. It was sold to the Historical Association.

When it was sold the valuable records of the deaths, births and marriages of the Nantucket people were transported from the island.

The small membership of the Friends at the time when the meet­ ing house was sold consisted of twenty-three people. One lived at Nantucket, one in Boston, one in Danvers, ten in Lynn and ten in Providence. Only two of them had been born in Nantucket.

Now all the members of the society of Friends have either joined another church or left the island and they no longer hold their meetings here.

So ends the history of the rise and decline of their power in Nantucket.
