Annual Meeting On one of the best of mid-summer days, the Nantucket Historical Associ­ ation held its forty-thirdi annual meeting on Wednesday afternoon, July 28, in the Unitarian Church, with about two hundred members and friends in attendance.

Dr. Charles E. Congdon, President of the Association, opened the meet­ ing shortly after three o'clock. An innovation this year was the presence of a microphone and amplifying system, but the apparatus did not prove en­ tirely satisfactory and was not used after the reading of the first two reports.

The report of the Secretary, Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger, was first in the order of business. Mrs. Eger always presents an interesting report, and this year was no exception. A large proportion of her correspondence, she stated, had to do with genealogy, and there were also many inquiries in regard to whaling and whale ships. She announced a total membership of 923, of which 742 were annual members and the remainder life and sustaining members.

As she most aptly phrased it, the Association showed that it was "keeping step with the honored march of history."

The report of the Treasurer, Robert D. Congdon, was read by Edouard A. Stackpole in the absence of Mr. Congdon. This report showed that the Association was still "running close to the wind," but that its financial status is strong and in able hands.

Mrs. Walton H. Adams, Curator, presented her usually interesting summary of the work of her department during the past year. She pointed out that the Whaling Museum was again the leader in attendance, more than 7000 visiting the famous collection of whaling exhibits housed in the brick candle-house on Broad street. Although the attendance at the Historical Rooms on Pair street was above the year previous, she stated, it did not have by far the number of visitors it deserved. Mrs. Adams made a strong plea for members and friends to direct as many as possible to the Fair Street rooms of the Society, as all who come feel well repaid for the effort.

Several interesting items have been donated to the Fair Street rooms during the year, Mrs. Adams noting the outstanding ones. There was a quilt bearing the date 1840, the year of its making by a group of Nantucket young ladies. There was the Thain family1 Bible, donated by the heirs of the Anna Clark estate; a biography of Alice Virginia Coffin, one of the seven founders of the B. E. 0. Society in Ohio; Bibles from the Stubbs and Beebe families; journals kept by Captain John Beebe, of Nantucket, while in command of the ships Tropic Bird and Brewster; a strip of tickets from the Nantucket Railroad of pleasant memory; a basket woven by the last Indian, Abram Quary of Shimmo; a picture of the famous old island steamoat Island Home;

47

and photographs of the late president of the Association, William F. Macy.

The sextant of Capt. Richard Swain was another valuable donation, being placed in the Whaling Museum with other valuable relics of the industry.

Mrs. Adams mentioned her father, Capt. George Grant, present custo­ dian at the Whaling Museum, who is still carrying on despite a serious illness during the winter. The presence of Mr. Grant at the Museum is in­ valuable to the Association, and it was the silent wish of all present that Nantucket's old whaleman may continue in his fine work for many years to come.

Both the reports of Mrs. Eger and Mrs. Adams are printed in full in these "Annual Proceedings."

At request of President Congdon memorials had been drawn up following +he deaths of Miss Annie Barker Folger, a Life Councillor, and Moses Joy, a well-known member of the Association. The memorials were read by Fred V. Fuller, at the conclusion of which Thomas Giffin arose and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Fuller, which was promptly given. The memorials are printed in the "Proceedings."

Because of his invariable attendance at these gatherings, the whitehaired figure of Moses Joy was greatly missed. Mr. Fuller's tribute to his memory brought out a number of facts in the remarkable career of Mr. Joy, and was well received.

The work of Miss Annie Barker Folger as a member of the Association was, for many years before her death, of the quiet kind that attracts little attention but is always helpful. In her own field as an artist Miss Folger exhibited very little but, as Mr. Fuller wrote, no one ever painted landscape or seascape more true to island life than Miss Annie Barker Folger. In her will she showed her never-flagging interest in the Association by be­ queathing it $1000.00.

The report of the nominating committee was then given by Henry Cole­ man in the absence of Chairman Edgar W. Jenney. The list is as follows: President—Dr. Charles E. Congdon.

Vice Presidents—Fred V. Fuller, Bassett Jones, Harry B. Turner, Thomas H. Giffin, Charles P. Kimball, Everett U. Crosby.

Secretary—Mrs. Catherine Ray Eger.

Treasurer—Robert D. Congdon.

Curator—Mrs. Walton H. Adams.

Councillors for Four Years—Col. Louis J. Plaeger, Mrs. Molly McC. I aylor.

It was moved and seconded that the Secretary be instructed to cast one ballot for the above list, which was done, and the officers were declared duly elected.

President Congdon announced that this year there had been twelve es­ says submitted in the annual historical essay contest sponsored by the Asso­ ciation. The winners of the awards were announced as follows: 1st Prize—"Trusty Captain Hussey" by Miss Mary McGrath.

2nd Prize—Jane Lewin.

3rd Prize—John Heath.

Miss McGrath stepped forward to receive her award of $10, and to read her essay, entitled "Trusty Captain Hussey". Her work showed quite a oefinite departure from the usual type of essay which has been submitted 4 8 )§•

in the contest during the years past, it being an imaginative piece of writing entirely, having to do with the return home of a whaling master and his account of a strange meeting with a man in Bombay, by which meeting financial security was assured the widow of a whaling master who had been lost at sea. Miss McGrath was warmly applauded as she took her seat. «iohn Heath, winner of the third prize, was also present and came forward to receive his award for his good work.

Miss Helen McCleary, delegate of the Association at the annual June meeting of the Bay State League, was asked if she had made any report.

Miss McCleary replied that, as she had received no official note that she was to make a report, she had not prepared one.

Mrs. Buth D. Coolidge, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Bay State League, and also a member of the Nantucket Historical Associa­ tion, was present and, at the request of the presiding officer, made a few remarks concerning the League.

"The Bay State League," said Mrs. Coolidge, "is a holding-ground for all the historical societies in the State, having members who represent prac­ tically all of them. Last June, the League held its annual meeting in the historic Royale House in Medford, and both Miss McCleary and myself were there as representatives of this Association. The League is very much interested in the Nantucket Historical Association, because it is not only the largest of its kind in the State but also a model society, and certainly? one of the most practical as it works along on a business basis, carrying out a number of worthwhile enterprises.

"I think it would be a fine thing if Nantucket should offer to take the Bay State League at its annual meeting during next June. It would be splendid publicity for the island, and no one would be more appreciative of your work as an Association than the members of this group., I realize that it might be more difficult to get them here, due to location, and yet the inducement to come might make the opportunity more desirable."

Mrs. Coolidge then made a motion that the Association extend an in­ vitation to the Bay State League to hold its annual meeting here next June.

This was duly seconded and unanimously voted. The Secretary was instructed to issue a formal invitation.

Two letters of historic value, presented to the Association by Mrs. Thomas H. Giffin, were read to the meeting by Charles P. Kimball.

The first was from Dr. Benjamin Tupper in France to his mother in Nantucket, written in 1796. Dr. Tupper was an island physician who did considerable traveling, and who invested in several commercial ventures while in Europe. The letter mentioned the fact that he had purchased a large ship in France which was being sent to the West Indies on a government mission, her cargo being papayans and "500 negroes." From the proceeds of this voyage, he wrote, he would be able to return home, it being under­ stood that it would be a considerable fortune. Dr. Tupper mentioned the fact that while in Paris he kept "a coach and horses and enjoyed himself very much."

The second letter was written from New York city in July, 1807, by Joseph Chase, Jr., to a friend in Nantucket. It was penned shortly after the famous Chesapeake and Leopard affair off the Delaware capes, one of the 4 9>

worst national insults the country was ever forced to stand. The letter reflects the pessimistic feeling of the merchants of the country in regard to the commercial prospects of the country.

Mrs. Frederick Lee Ackerman, Chairman of the Committee on the Old Mill, gave a comprehensive account of the activities of the committee during and following the complete restoration of the familiar landmark on the hill overlooking the town. It was three years ago this summer that the late William F. Macy, then President of the Association, called upon Mrs. Ackerman to discuss the serious problem of what should be done with the Mill.

After some discussion, during which certain possibilities for the structure were pointed out, Mr. Macy appointed Mrs. Ackerman chairman of a conimittee to investigate these possibilities. Two other members of the com­ mittee were chosen, Bassett Jones and Thomas Giflin.

"My presence on the committee as chairman," said Mrs. Ackerman, "was due to the fact that I was a neighbor of the Mill and deeply interested.

I knew that in Mr. Jones and Mr. Giffin we had a good engineer and a good builder, and I was able to rope in Mr. Ackerman, who is a good architect.

We made a survey of the Mill and found it in a bad way. As a result of this survey we made several important replacements, restoring parts which had become badly worn, equipping the grinding apparatus with newly cut stones, so that today the Mill is completely restored and in perfect working order.

I freely predict that two hundred years hence the Old Mill will be still grind­ ing corn as it does today.

"When we first made our survey we fully realized that our problem was a serious one. In the first place, we had no money. But five members of the Association consented to loan us $250 each, the five being Fred V. Fuller, William F. Macy, Thomas H. Giflin, Mrs. Walton H. Adams, and myself.

In a codicil of his will, Mr. Macy made a gift of his loan, and Mr. Fuller gave his $250 as a memorial to Mr. Macy. I suspect the rest of us will have to make codicils to our wills."

Mrs. Ackerman's concise account revealed that the complete restoration of the Old Mill has cost $5000.00. But, today, the machinery is in perfect working order. An expert named Higgins, from the mainland, canted the vanes to the proper tilt. The worn parts of' the wooden cog-wheel, etc., have been replaced with new oaken pieces. A spar from "The Skipper," formerly the schooner Allen Gurney, was given to the Association by Miss Prentice, and with a short piece spliced in makes the necessary turning apparatus by which the whole top of the Mill and the vanes may be turned so that the Mill may operate no matter what the wind direction may be.

One of the important discoveries made during the process or re-conditioning was that the Mill was grinding with two top stones, instead of a top and nether stone. Fortunately, there were two grinding stones lying outside which originally came from the old "Spider Mill." These were cut by an expert and now grind the corn in excellent fashion.

Mrs. Ackerman mentioned the research that went into the solving of the various problems, the last bit of work that Was/done along these lines being the locating of the proper grade of corn for grinding, so that today the

•«( 10 )§•

product of the Old Mill is the finest obtainable anywhere—the worth-while difference between commercial and the full-kernel corn.

In the work of the restoration Mr. Giffin and his men have rendered invaluable service. Mr. Jones, not only contributing his knowledge as an engineer, but in assuming financial obligations for the latest repairs, has been the second vital cog in the committee, Mrs. Ackerman stated. Because of her willingness to always carry on the work of the committee, Mrs. Ackerman has also been a necessary part of the committee and, with her husband, Frederick Ackerman, has maintained a never-flagging interest in the welfare of her "neighbor," as she calls the Mill. After she had taken her seat, amid applause, Dr. Congdon remarked that Mrs. Ackerman had neglected to men­ tion that not only had she been an interested worker but that she had loaned money without interest in helping to finance the project of restoration.

William H. Tripp, Curator of the New Bedford Whaling Museum and a member of the Association, who always makes the trip down to attend the annual meeting, was called upon to say a few words. Mr. Tripp stated that this was his seventh consecutive trip to Nantucket, and that he always felt well repaid for the journey. As he had to catch the 5:00 boat back to the mainland Mr. Tripp was forced to cut his remarks short.

As the concluding portion of the program, excerpts from a paper on the original settlement at Madaket, written by Mrs. Florence Bennett Anderson, of Nantucket and Walla Walla, were read by Mrs. H. Hollis Bennett, sisterin-law of the writer. Mrs. Anderson is author of several books, her latest being the biography of her great-grandfather, Capt. Seth Pinkham, one of the old school Nantucket whaling masters. Volumes on early Grecian history, as well as books of poems and stories of island life, have also been the pro­ duct of her keen mind.

In her paper, Mrs. Anderson brought out the argument that the early settlers continued to live at the original landing place at Madaket for many years prior to the transfer of the community to Wesco harbor. She refuted many of the arguments advanced in favor of the settlement at Capaum, and at the same time commented upon the first lay-out of the homesteads of the original Proprietors.

In presenting her views concerning the earliest habitations on the island, Mrs. Anderson showed that she has carefully weighed the original records and taken into consideration many events which, in her mind, are significant in proving her contention. Her argument in favor of the extensive settlement at Madaket is most provocative, and as her paper is printed in full in this issue of the "Proceedings" it will afford opportunity for careful perusal by those readers interested in the early beginnings of Nantucket.

There being no further business presented, the meeting adjourned.

Secretary's Report Mr. President, Members and Friends of The Nantucket Historical Association: Having travelled a year's distance we retrace our steps and find Annual Meeting time awaiting us just where we left it.

The plant of our Association is almost one-half a century old and has shed its influence far and wide and more and more people are recognizing its life and progress. From a native islander, remote in a foreign country, comes this message: "Make me a life member of your Association which seeks to preserve the old and perpetuate all that makes for its honorable place in the rising generation."

Our treasurer has been busy with our financial records and our curator has directed the progress of the year's work on which they will report to you later. Your secretary has been busy with the correspondence and report as well as the list of members. Response to roll call at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1937, reveals the following: Life Members 100 Sustaining Members 27 Annual Members 742 Junior Members 33 Total New Members since June 30 Present total

902 21 923

In connection with the above let me again urge that your secretary and treasurer be informed promptly of any change in the address of members, so that our mailing lists may be correct as well as complete. It is disappointing to have many notices as well as copies of the Annual Proceedings returned each year because the addresses were not correct.

There is always need of new members and it would contribute much toward the support 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.

As an association grows older and annual reports multiply, the story of routine business may seem to be the same from year to year but in reality it is not. Each year brings its peculiar problems and calls forth in its own way special enthusiasm. The necessary Council Meetings were held during the year at which the routine business relative to our work was transacted.

With your permission I will dispense with the summary of details concerning the business of the year.

Recently notice was given that one of our Councillors, Mrs. Irving Elting, owing to a pressure of other duties, felt obliged to tender her resignation, which was accepted with sincere regrets at a Council Meeting on April 23, 1937.

Again during the past year we have been called upon to part with several of our members. Once more our Council has been stricken and we no longer •4

12 )§•

shall have the advice and assistance of Miss Annie Barker Folger who had been for many years one of our life councillors and one of our most active members and valuable workers. She did much to make it possible for us to own the old house at 'Sconset besides other valuable gifts. She generously be­ queathed the Association $1,000.00 to be used in carrying on the work in which she was so deeply interested.

Some of our other members who have been active in the affairs of the Association have passed on during the year. Among them is Mr. Moses Joy, a Nantucketer who never failed to attend our Annual Meetings. He died this spring at the age of 84 in New York city where he always spent his winters. His presence as well as that of others will be sadly missed by us all.

A large proportion of our correspondence relates to the subjects of ancestry and the whale fishery, with an occasional request for information about some individual ship. Our publications are still in demand. Many historical associations as well as public and college libraries are keeping up to date their files which include our proceedings.

So, year by year, we link the present with the past—grandchildren revive names and faces of grandparents whom our community knew a century ago.

It is for us to carry on with something of their spirit, this work and thus keep step with the onward march of History.

Respectfully submitted, Catherine Ray Eger, Secretary.

Curator's Report Mr. President and Members of the Nantucket Historical Association: The past year has brought nothing outstanding in the work of the Cura­ tor, so my report will be brief.

The attendance at all the buildings last season was a little above the previous year. The Whaling Museum had over 7000 visitors.

At the Fair Street Museum there have been fewer donations than usual, but some rather interesting items were included. A friend on the mainland has sent us a small old-fashioned quilt, with a star design in the center, bearing the autographs in indelible ink of several Nantucket ladies, and the date "1840." The ladies were: Mrs. Sarah C. Adams, Mrs. Phebe Ann Adams, Mrs. Eunice Adams, Mrs. Lydia G. Brown, Mrs. Sarah Jenkins, Mrs. Eliza­ beth S. Brown, Mrs. Rebecca H. Gardner. We can visualize this group of ladies, who no doubt were members of a "circle," sitting together, chatting and sewing patchwork and placing their signatures on this old quilt, little thinking that nearly a hundred years later it would be reposing in the Historical Rooms.

From the heirs of the estate of Mrs. Anna S. Clark we received a col­ lection of miscellaneous articles, among them being the Thain family Bible; a marriage certificate of David Easton and Sally Marshall, Friends, dated May 4, 1815; and old gas-iron used in 1877; an old flat-iron with two heat­ ing units; and an old charcoal iron; also many newspaper clippings and pho­ tographs.

We have also received two copies of a biographical skeach of Alice 13 >

Virginia Coffin, written by her sister. She was a direct descendant of Tris­ tram Coffin, and one of the seven founders of the P. E. O. Society, founded at Iowa Wesley an University, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

Among other articles donated are the family Bibles of Samuel and Christina Stubbs and the Beebe family; an old carpet-bag belonging to John Bunker; two pairs of small boy's copper-toed boots; a two piece suit worn by a small boy in 1851; a strip of tickets of the Nantucket Railroad, a copy of the U. S. Food Administration Sugar Regulations at the time of the World War in 1917.

From the daughter of Capt. John Beebe, of Nantucket, we received three journals of his voyages in command of the barks Tropic Bird, Brewster and Zanthro; a bird of paradise; a box of shells, and a fine old framed shell picture, and several old almanacs.

One of the most interesting articles which has come to us this year is a small basket formerly belonging to Abram Quady.

Also among the donations was a picture of the old steamer Island Home breaking through the ice. It might be of interest to the newcomers to our island, and to remind those who knew the old steamer, to mention that she was built in New York and arrived in Nantucket September 5, 1855, with Capt. Thomas Brown in command. From an old Nantucketer we gather that the arrival of the new steamer was quite an event. According to the story he tells, he was a pupil in the primary grade in the South Grammar school building on Orange street, in the southwest room on the first floor.

Miss Lydia B. Swain was his teacher. When the boat whistled, as she rounded Brant Point making her first visit, Miss Swain dismissed her school children to the school yard on the east end of the building, overlooking the harbor, and they had a fine view of the steamer as she made her entrance into the harbor, circling it two or three times, and then gracefully making a landing at steamboat wharf. Gaily decked with flags, the new steamer presented a very impressive sight. Capt. Brown was later succeeded by Capt. Nathan Manter. We have in our collection two fine old eagles which decorated her paddle boxes and have also other mementoes from the old steamer.

The Association has been presented with two fine enlarged photographs of our late President William F. Macy. They are nicely framed and each has a brass plate with the inscription "William F. Macy, President, Nantucket Historical Association—1923 - 1935."

When the old, familiar Wyer's Art Store was closed last year, Miss Hatch very kindly gave the Association several dozen copies of a poem called "My Isle of Dreams" by Henry S. Wyer, and several copies of "The Relic Auction" by the same author, both of which are on sale at the Fair Street Museum.

Many favorable comments are made about the collection by those who talk to the custodians, which is very gratifying, and much work is carried on in the genealogical department by people wishing to trace their family connections, in which they are ably assisted by the custodian in charge. All this proves that although the number of visitors is not as large as we would

4 14 >

wish, those who do visit the Museum are most appreciative of its value.

The work of re-cataloguing is going on slowly and before this year is over we hope to locate every item in the present catalogue and make a sep­ arate card for each.

At the Oldest House the attendance was very good the past year and the new year has started well. Except for a few additions of articles brought in from the old house in 'Sconset there has been nothing new this year. The house is in good condition except for a few necessary repairs, and the interior is made most attractive by the custodian.

The Whaling Museum has had very* few accessions this year. The most important acquisition is an old sextant belonging to Capt. Richard Swain.

A very pretty inlaid ivory swift was purchased, as well as several new books and pamphlets. The librarian has started to catalogue the books and pam­ phlets in the library and before another year we hope to have this work finished.

Capt. Grant has started the season this year as usual, in spite of a serious illness during the winter which we feared might cause his retirement from his position at the Whaling Museum.

In closing this brief report may I once more remind you that the Nan­ tucket Historical Association has gathered an unequalled and invaluable collection of antiquities intimately associated with our island and its history, and these relics should be inspected by all who come to this island who are at all interested in its history. Will you see that your friends and acquaint­ ances pay us a visit? The Whaling Museum needs no advertising as its location and its collection are known and appreciated, but we do need more visitors at the Fair Street Museum, so I plead with you all to help us ad­ vertise our exhibit.

Respectfully submitted, NANCY S. ADAMS, Curator.

Letters Written By Dr. Benjamin Tupper and Joseph Chase, Jr. Mrs. Thomas Giffin has presented to the Association two old letters of historic value, which were read to the meeting by Charles P. Kimball. Before reading, Mr. Kimball gave a short explanation of what has been found about the writers or the times in which the letters were written.

The first letter was from Dr. Benjamin Tupper, in France, to his mother in Nantucket, being written in 1796. Dr. Tupper was an island physician who did considerable travelling in Europe, investing in a number of com­ mercial ventures. Tupper had a colorful career. During the War of the Rev­ olution he was one of the many Nantucketers with Loyalist tendencies, and on the basis of a letter written him while in Edgartown by the famous Nan­ tucket woman loyalist, Keziah Coffin, Dr. Tupper was arrested as "a Person Dangerous to the Liberties of this State" and put into Barnstable Gaol. In June, 1777, he was bound over in £600 Sterling for appearance before the Watertown assembly. Capt. Timothy Folger, a respected supporter of the Revolution, was instrumental in arranging for Tupper's release on bail, as he realized that many Nantucket merchants sympathized with the Loyalists but took no part in the struggle. Tupper was never apprehended again.

The interesting letter is as follows: Havre, May 16, 1796.

Dear Mother: I will inform you that I have enjoyed my health well since I left you, and my wife is always well and enjoys France. I have not herd from Capt.

Wyer since he left the chanel but hope he will arrive here in about three weeks from today and shall look for him at that time. I shall make a good voyage if he arrives with tobacco as he went for a cargo on my acct. to Charlestown. I have bot a large ship of 5 hundred tuns and she sails this day for the west Indes with papayans for government and they give me Ten Thousand Guineas which is 5 thousand pounds sterling for me as I own % the ship. She carries 5 hundred negroes, if she arrives safe I shall have money enough to come home & live with my friends which I should like although I like france very much. Mrs. Tupper is in Paris. I leave at 4 o'clock & shall arrive in paris in 27 hrs. as I ride all night. The road is as level as your floor & not a stone larger than a nutmeg. Swain has been in Paris and paid me a visit of fourteen days he leaves his son John with me which I think you know before this. My prospects at present are very good.

Give my compliments to Mr. Cary's family to Doctor and little Aunt Love, and to all the aunts cousins and friends I have on the island.

I hope you got the money from C. but if you didn't hope you got along somehow or other. I hear Peggy is agoing to be married to the young Cary which I hope has taken place, tell polly if I stay in France I shall send for her to come out I am sorry I did not bring her with me I keep in paris a good coach and horses and enjoy myself very much. Mrs. Tupper learns french fast. My compliments to Mother Cary and all her family tell her Fred is well content in France.

I am your dutiful son, Benj. Tupper.

Excuse writing as I am in a great hurry.

The second letter was from New York city in July, 1807, written by Joseph Chase, Jr., of Nantucket, to a friend on the island. It was penned $ 18 )§•

shortly after the Chesapeake and Leopard affair, (in March of the same year) during which four American seamen were impressed aboard the British frigate after the Leopard had intercepted and defeated the American frigate in a short engagement off the Virginian capes. Feeling against the British was running high throughout the country, and the merchants were mourn­ fully shaking their heads at the outcome. In his letter, Mr. Chase mentions this "spirit of revenge" which actuated the pulse of the people just before Jefferson's ruinous embargo nearly killed off the growing commerce of the country.

Joseph Chase, Jr., was born in 1778. Thirteen days after the writing of this letter his ship sailed from New York because of the insistence of the owners and under protest from the captain because of weather conditions.

Neither vessel nor crew were ever heard from again. The vessel was sup­ posed to have foundered a few days after leaving New York.

New York, July 10, 1807.

James Cary Dear Friend; I received yours of the 30th ult. & take the first occasion of answering it.

I understand your not writing me before surrounded as you are with friends your thoughts are solely fixed on their happiness before your own, in this you are right.

Capt. Joy sailed on the 5th ult. I am sorry our connection with Europe is as it is by the capture and insults recently made by the British which has caused great stagnation in all exports. The result of the affair with our government ship Chesapeake & the English 50-gun ship we cannot forsee but still anticipate a reconciliation which may prove satisfactory to our government, however dastardly it may appear to others. A spirit of revenge now shows itself to the southward and even to this state. Resolutions for putting our ports in state of defence has been highly necessary great exertions in men are visible for that purpose. It has been done before. We now ought to enjoy that peace & safety which we as a commercial nation require. To form an idea of the intention of the government by the various reports now in circulation is impossible but Time. I write to inform you of my prospects. I have now a vessel offered me schooner rigged it is to be ready in a week. I have not seen the owners but they have sent me word I may take charge of, which I shall do if nothing intervenes of more advan­ tage. Am sorry your cargo of tea is late. I hope a change by which you will make a large profit than you expect. Had your ship been here two or three months ago it might have been employed to great advantage as freight rates are very high but at present I can say but little favorable to your proceed­ ing in her. Some particular merchant might want a ship of her size who wouldn't be the best to apply to. If you should come on without being directed to any particular merchant I shall like to recommend to your particular attention Alex. Coffin as a perfectly honest man esteemed by all who know him. Wishing your undertaking may be crowned with success attended by the blessing of health on you and yours I am with sentiments of esteem your friend Joseph Chase Jnr. I have just heard that Norfolk is in a state of blockade. Reports of such nature are frequent but not reliable.

"Trusty Captain Hussey"

By Mary McGrath, winner of the first prize in the Nantucket Historical Association's prize essay contest.

We were seated on a cool verandah sipping iced tea, looking out over the wharves and harbor, and listening to stories. My friends were telling of their sojourns in the West. One told of his experiences at the coronation and others enumerated their various travels. I was not wholly interested until a small statue caught my eye. The waxen doll reminded me of a story and I forthwith asked the attention of my friends for a while. I asked them to visualize the girl in the setting in which I was about to place her.

We see a young girl, one Deborah Hussey, running down State Street toward Straight Wharf. She holds up her hoop skirt with one hand and holds down her hood with the other as she skips over the cobbles and runs into the fresh gale on the open wharf. It is a clear, cloudless day and a gala one, for a whaling ship is returning. The owner, Peter Hussey, is known for his daring and skill in whaling.

As the ship ties up, there are many questions asked about other ships and their captains.

Deborab pushes through and greets the blue-eyed captain who is her father. He, with others eager for news, accompanies her to their house just off the square. Mrs. Hussey, happily flushed, asks about the trip and the reports of dangerous attacks and captures.

Captain Hussey solemnly lights his pipe and gathers his friends around him to tell of his experiences common and strange.

"We had great success with a wonderful haul. There were no casualties with the exception of young Bill Franklin who foolhardily stood up in the small boat when they were right on top of a whale. It lurched and in the swell he fell over and splintered his arm; however, it mended well. Every­ thing else went fairly well. We stopped in India and visited with an odd man whom we met at the wharf."

At this point the captain stops, looks around, and as he is about to say something, again halts. Finally he continues to tell of the lovely things made of beads and silk that the Hindustan man's wife had given him for Mrs. Hussey and Deborah and Peter, Jr. He asks Peter to fetch them from the boat. The captain then settles back and continues.

"On the way back from India we stopped at a small island for water.

While the natives were filling up the kegs, we went up to a mountain to a ceremony. Officiating at the odd rites was a white man in spite of his odd, wierd paint. I called to him and he came and spoke to me. I soon saw that he was not entirely sane. I asked him if he had any possessions and he obediently showed me a knife with which one could cut blubber. On the handle was carved 'Ted Gardner'."

Everyone looked at each other and then at the captain. At last the mystery of the disappearance of Ted Gardner off a whaling ship ten years ago was solved. He had gone on one of the first ships ever to round the Horn. He had never returned and his disappearance had never been ex­ plained. The captain said that the man seemed to prefer his pagan life and the captain did not insistently urge him to return. There was a silence of a 20

few minutes and then the captain went on to say that he not only received a good price for his oil in London but a bonus for his wonderful catch.

Just about this time Mrs. Hussey and some other ladies entered with refreshments. The many friends soon left and the Husseys were alone.

Peter asked, "What has become of Anne Hathaway? I did not see her here tonight. Where is Tom, or didn't he get back yet?"

Mrs. Hussey, with a strange look on her face, said, "News reached Nan­ tucket two days ago that Thomas Hathaway's ship was captured and sunk near the Cape Verde Islands by a Spanish Privateer. Anne is very ill, for she is now absolutely poverty-stricken. You remember her husband's queer idea of carrying all of his valuable papers around with him. Nothing could change this eccentricity and on his last voyage he took with him some English securities that would have left Anne comfortably fixed. I fear she will never recover not only because of the loss of her husband but because of the loss of her money."

The captain stroked the greying hair of his gentle, thoughtful wife and continued with an even stranger tale.

"Did you not think it odd that I should meet any special man on the Bombay waterfront? As he told me later he was given a perfect description of me by no one else than Tom Hathaway. I discovered this man to be Tirul Kirzah whom Tom had often mentioned as one of his truest friends. It seems that while in Bombay something happened that made Tom suspect some of his crew. He knew that all of his papers were valuable and he did not dare risk the voyage home. He trusted Tirul and me. He left his pos­ sessions with him to give to me, for he was sure that I would stop at Bom­ bay at sometime or other. He knew that he would get a good price for his oil in London. This would have taken care of himself and Anne until I should return. I am grieved to hear that he did not reach London. I have the things in my strong box. Let us go to Anne and try to cheer her with our news and the valuables."

As the news spread over Nantucket, there was a great rejoicing, for the beloved Anne would no longer be bereft of all security. Deborah, happy with her beautiful gifts from Bombay, London, and other ports of call of the whaling ship and happy for Anne, again skipped toward the wharf. She stood out on the end. The wind pushed back her hood and tossed her hair with its gusty puffs.

The shadows deepened up harbor. As Deborah gazed up at the ship, the wind whistled in the rigging. She thought of the many things whaling had brought them—among them happiness, material comfort, and sorrow. As she contentedly gazed out over the darkening waters, she decided that she would not change places with an English princess.

The girl with her skirts swirling around her, her hood blown back, and her hair flying in the wind, fades into shadows and suddenly alights from them, not a real Nantucket maiden of whaling days but a waxen one standing on the table beside me. The spell is broken and we are once again on a cool verandah. All declared it a very charming story and then were silent. I secretly believe that they were trying to visualize a whaling ship in the harbor and trying to see a Nantucket maiden standing in the shadows that were in reality over Nantucket harbor.

Contemporary historical research is veering toward credence in tradition.

The application, during the last three decades, of the scientific method to this kind of study threw oral tradition for at time more or less into the dis­ card. Written documents, buildings, and other tangible remains were such weighty witnesses that old stories were laughed out of court. The historian in re-admitting these to his inquiry takes certain precautions learned of the procedure in his recent hard school of facts. Prime to serve him is the question Whose tradition? That is, the credibility of the witness if examined.

Also one tradition is scrutinized in comparison with another, and collated, too, with different kinds of testimony. By another metaphor, a cabinet-maker is assembling and fitting together the parts of a dismantled piece of furniture.

His imagination, guessing among the patterns which the old joiner might have used for decorative marquetry, culls out first one colored fragment, then another, and suddenly sees the scheme to which the gay particles belong.

The chances are that it will require more than one craftsman to do the job of restoration.

When the late Henry Barnard Worth brought his legal training to bear on Nantucket antiquities, he accomplished an admirable service in recon­ structing the past. His patient study of records, especially those concerned with land tenure, laid a foundation on which students of our history will constantly build. As must be true of all things human, some inaccuracies of detail in names and dates—occur in his work. Also some of his interpreta­ tions of fact may suggest a tendency to a "prior argument. But there lies the charm of historical research. None but an enthusiast prospers in the quest.

And always there are new investigations to follow, each with individual bias of mind. Progress sometimes is by retrogression and detour.

When Mr. Worth developed his theory of the pioneer settlement at Capaum, a number of ageing Nantucketers, Simon-Pure descendants from the Old Settlers, privately scouted the notion. "Capaum?"—they used to pro­ nounce that final syllable flat, like verbal am—'"Never! The settlement was at Madaket, until they moved in. Obed Macy's History will tell you so. And Ferdinand Ewer has set it down correctly on his map. Why, the story has been handed down from way back!"

Take a person who was born, as my maternal grandmother was, in 1814, all 'Tucket in her veins and habits, derived from mixture and remixture of the various local English strains. Her family chart carries us to 1659 by not many jumps. Between her and the first "devil-beating" Pmkham on Nantucket, James Coffin's son-in-law, there are only three 4 22 )&•

In the group from right to left: Elizabeth (Pinkham) Crosby, Mary (Cushman) Brown, Mary (Pinkham) Plaskett, Elizabeth (Plaskett) Bennett and her little daughter, Florence (Bennett) Anderson.

Note—This is one of the most historic buildings in the village.

According to "The Evolution of Siasconset", the main portion of the structure was originally erected in Trader's Lane, in town, and was part of a duck or twine factory. The kitchen was a boat-house, be­ gging to Mr. Brown, grandfather of the late Mrs. J. H. Belcher.

The bricks in the chimney were in the British ship "Queen" when she was wrecked on the south side of Nantucket, January 4, 1813.

A poition of the house was taken to Madaket and thence brought to Sconset in 1811. It was the first house in the village to have its height increased by a second story. In 1879 it had thirteen windows, no two of which were alike.

The English ship "Queen" was a prize of the American privateer General Armstrong", which was captained by John Barnard of .Nantucket. The ship broke in two and came ashore at Nobadeer, her cargo of assorted merchandise being strewn along the shore from Siasconset to Miacomet. At the time of her capture the "Queen" had on board a cargo invoiced at 100,000 pounds, or practically 8500,000, and had Capt. Barnard succeeded in getting his prizes, the "Sir Sidney Smith and the "Queen" into New York, they would have yielded him an independent fortune.

names: Seth, Jethro, Theophilus. In other words, that Richard Pinkham, an Inhabitant who had married a Proprietor's daughter, was her great­ grandfather. Now even to our careless generation of New Englanders, a great-grandfather is very near. Indeed, that long-memoried old Nantucket stock was in vital contact with the beginnings. When Obed Macy tells you that he was born in 1752 and that he went to school in "Upper Town in 1768," you feel that he knew his bearings pretty well in charting the course of early settlement on the island.

Therefore although an elaborate plat was made out, showing with graphic exactness the assignment of house-lots along the chain of ponds between Capaum Pond and the south head of Hummock, there is still something to be said for the tradition about Madaket. Mr. Worth admits that "the own­ ership of a house lot is no guarantee that there was always a house there," and points out that "a man like Mayhew or Greenleaf, who did not live on the Island, had no use for one."

In the summer of 1659, when Tristram Coffin and Edward Starbuck went to Martha's Vinyard as agents for the company which had been or­ ganized in Salisbury on the Merrimac to purchase Nantucket, Thomas Mayhew and Peter Folger took them over to inspect "the goods." Folger, through more than ten years, had been intimately acquainted with Mayhew's out­ post island, that now about to be sold, having gone there at regular inter­ vals, sometimes with young Minister Mayhew and sometimes without him, to direct the Christian missions established there as part of a project to evan­ gelize the whole archipelago of which the two Mayhews, father and son, were co-patentees. Since 1643, when they "planted" Great Harbor (later Edgartown) on the Vineyard, Peter Folger, Schoolmaster to the White children, Assistant Magistrate, Teacher of the "Praying Indians," had been righthand man to the Senior in civic affairs, and specific coadjutor to the Junior's missionary enterprises. The latter had been lost at sea on a voyage to Eng­ land two years before the sale of Nantucket. The father was thus left sole negotiator in the transaction. Naturally, Folger was the man who could serve him best as agent, and who could also serve the purchasing Proprietors best in their initial arrangements. He was trusted by the Nantucket Indians, spoke their language fluently, and was a land-surveyor of training and practice.

The mission-station there was at Madaket, on a tract to which Thomas Mayhew Junior had purchased Sachems' rights in 1653. It included Madaket Harbor and Long Pond. There must have been a dock on the water front, some sort of dwelling where the missioners could be comfortable under stress of weather, and shelter for horses, kept on Nantucket for their convenience in visiting the several Indian villages. Horses owned on the Vineyard were pastured in this west end of Nantucket as late as 1667, when there is a record of an order to discontinue the privilege. Accordingly there was at this place a foothold whence the orderly colonizing could proceed. That would have been the spot where the surveying committee, appointed by the com­ pany of Proprietors, lodged while treating with the Indians to conclude

4 23 )»•

the purchase of the native rights and to select and lay out a town-site as soon as feasible. That committee, consisting of Tristram Coffin, Thomas Macy, Edward Starbuck, Thomas Barnard, and Peter Folger (designated, "of Mar­ tha's Vineyard"), was appointed after the deed of the Proprietors' purchase of the Mayhews' patent was recorded. It was stipulated that three among those named should consititute a quorum, provided that Folger was always one of the three. But he was at that time in no sense a member of the proprietary company.

It seems incredible that persons scrutinizing Nantucket with thought of "planting" should not have chosen the section about the capacious modern harbor, known to the Settlers from its native place-name, Wesquo. The fact was that Indian rights to the whole of that shore line were not easily obtainable. The incomers must proceed with caution, step by step, in their peaceable occupation. They were a small minority in contrast to the Red population. They intended to follow Mayhew's wise and just precedent in colonizing, that of buying from the Indians every yard of land which the Whites were to occupy. Their first major purchase, arranged for in advance, but not completed until February 20th, 1661, secured to them roughly the western portion of the island, including the shore of Wesquo harbor as far as Monomoy and leaving to the Indians a southerly strip containing Miacomet Pond. Mayhew had reserved personal ownership at Quaise. But Pocomo Head had been bought for the Company, and one of the Sachems be­ stowed Coatue on Edward Starbuck as a free gift, which he made over to the Company. Thus prospectively the English had control of the big harbor.

There was an intermediate roadstead at Cappamet, or Capaum, then an open harbor or snug compass. Tristram Coffin's acquisitive eye noted it as a grand place for his family settlement, which he would call Northam, in reminiscence of his native Devonshire, in particular, of that region where the senior branch of the Coffins had long seated as gentry. He himself be­ longed to a cadet yeoman branch in South Devon, five miles from Plymouth.

First come, first served! Furthermore, Tristram had the best filled purse of the Company of twenty Proprietors, unless one counted Mr. Mayhew, who had no thought of "inhabiting." As a family the Coffins—Tristram, his three adult sons (Peter, Tristram Junior and James) and his two sons-inlaw, Stephen Greenleaf and Nathaniel Starbuck (son of Edward)—owned six full shares in the Company, an interest of three-tenths. In John Bishop, the carpenter from Newbury, who, owning a half-share as a tradesman "in­ vited to inhabit," had purchased one half of William Pile's proprietorship, when that man decided to withdraw from the Company, there was a seventh pro-Coffin voter. Later events prove that Bishop was very much Coffin's man.

The Coffins had lumber, growing and in ship-yards, at Dover, up in the frontier district of the Massachusetts Colony, whence probably the two beaver hats were furnished for Master and Mistress Mayhew. Perhaps Tris­ tram Junior, who, although an owner of Nantucket, remained a prosperous tailor in Newbury, knew how to make skins into sleek headgear. Naturally,

the Coffins would build wharves at the little harbor which their lots and John Bishop's over-looked, and would plan to handle there the shipping of Nantucket. The pens for the sheep, the Company's prime business enterprise, were to be near by. It looks a bit gobblesome, but, after all, the man with the purse, and still in touch with prosperous undertakings on the mainland, could best serve the isolated community in this way. It should be noted also that three months after the purchase of Nantucket by the Company, Tristram Senior bought for himself and his three grown sons the English patent to Tuckernuck. He bought the Indian rights in February, of 1661. There are in­ dications that Tristram hoped to secure private ownership of the shore line between his holdings at Northam and Eel Point, a shoestring connection with his Tuckernuck.

But Capaum harbor and its dependencies were not built up in a minute. Indeed, not until August 11th, 1664, did Coffin and Bishop succeed in buying certain vexatious Indian claims to "broken up land"—i. e., scattered parcels—between Wanacomet and Hummock Ponds.

Macy, a first comer and a second served, picked out Wanacomet, called in the old records Water Comet, for his site. Thus he had a pond of his own, near the shearing-pen, for the business of weaving in which he en­ gaged, under a tradesman's contract, in behalf of the "Inhabitants" in 1663.

Richard Swain, glad to be an early incomer, because he had been more severely punished than Macy for that "misdemeanor" of sheltering Quakers from a cold rainstorm in the autumn of 1659, selected a large tract on a group of shares in his family, his own, his son John's, that of his Bunker step-children, and that of Proprietor Thomas Look, who had married Elizabeth Bunker.

This was at the south head of Hummock Pond, where they had a mill brook and the terminal arm of "The Cove." Edward Starbuck took a lot along the north head of the Hummock, but it was his son, not he, who built on it, a number of years later, the famous "Parliament House."

But the little hive at Madaket continued to be useful until all was clear going about the chosen town-site. Supplies came steadily from the Vineyard and were landed there until suitable wharfage was available at Cappamet.

Ewer's map, following, as does Mrs. Lydia S. Hinchman in her fine book on the Early Settlers, our first historian, Obed Macy, and also local tradition persistent in several island families, puts that parent settlement at the south­ east bend of Madaket Harbor. That Starbuck and Macy kept an active interest in the place where they spent their pioneer winter—(I do not discard the legend of the flight, although I am not disposed to send the Macy fam­ ily, Edward Starbuck, and the boy Isaac Coleman, on the voyage around Capo Cod in an "open boat")—is shown by their heading a project in 1670, first broached with preparatory arrangements about drainage two years earlier, to establish a fish-weir in Long Pond.

Also at the town meeting which empowered this, a vote was passed to drain a pasture for cattle in "the Meadows lying between the Long Pond by the old Seller built by Edward Starbuck and the Way at the Head of

*§{25 If-

the Creek where the Cattle usually go over." Note the homely familiarity of description. In particular, I take it as significant that this is the only pond on Nantucket named from characteristic appearance. This is the long pond which belonged intimately to the environment of the band of settlers. It should be added that the community cornfield of the Inhabitants, the arable tract where various kinds of grain were sowed and harvested pro rata, was at Madaket, on the neck of Smith's Point, until 1729. Wheat and Indian corn were reaped there, still on some contract per shares, even as late as 1773.

The first urge towards a town-site which, under stimulus of Coffin's leadership, the surveying committee had platted along the ridge that stretches from Capaum to the south head of the Hummock, was promoted by an abun­ dance of good drinking-water from the fresh ponds in the northerly quarter.

Until people discovered how easily wells could be dug anywhere, they settled near open sources. Obed Macy, telling the legend which poetic license ex­ panded and altered in "The Exiles," says that his ancestor Thomas built his house at Madaket near a good spring. The general plea for Capaum Harbor as preferable to that with which the settlers were acquainted must have been that it was free, as the other was not, from intricate hazards of navigation, and more accessible to trade between the island and the mainland, especially to the course around the Cape to the Merrimac towns and to Dover on the Cochecho, the centres whence they had emigrated. But one wonders how safe anchorage it offered in a heavy northerly gale. The Proprietors as a whole were perhaps the more ready to yield to Coffin persuasion because of unwillingness to be too much dominated by Mayhew. From Madaket there would be temptation to swing traffic in the direction of the Great Harbor.

The statement does not deny respect for Mr. Merchant Mayhew, who for some years retained his twentieth interest in the Nantucket colony.

In laying out the town-site on the middle western hills, the "Inhabiting Proprietors" drew lots for their absent associates. But if you scan Worth's plat, a semi-conjectural plan made from old deeds, you will discover that a number of the persons named were absentees until the rumpus of the Half-Sharesmen precipitated acute dissension in 1673, when some of those challenged land­ lords came to "inhabit" in order to fight the battle of conservatism by thus proving up on their shares. When the gale of this strife subsided into the lull induced by re-adjustments of tenure under the Duke of York's Government, all obstacles had been removed to the general occupation of "Wesquo Acre."

Peter and James Coffin were among the first to snap up good lay-outs there.

How much of an actual town had there been on the Hummock-Capaum site? The absentee landlords of the period up to the "Insurrection" were, in addition to Mayhew and Greenleaf, the two whom Mr. Worth mentions, Robert Pike, Christopher Hussey, Peter, James, and Tristram Coffin Junior, probably also John Smith. John Bishop must be substituted for William Pile. There is reason to believe that Nathaniel Starbuck never built on the lot assigned to him between Mayhew's and James Coffin's, but rather on his father's at "Waquittaquage." Thus Thomas Coleman, whose specific con-

4 26 fa

eern was with the Company's sheep, seems to he left alone in a steading which fronted on "The Plains," or "Commons," where the flocks grazed, the only Inhabiting Proprietor in that row of seven householders between the Swain-Bunker-Look farm at The Cove and Tristram Coffin's Northam.

A glance at the map and a thumb for measure will show that the Swain clan were much nearer neighbors to the nest at Madaket than to Squire Coffin.

He had for his nearest, Macy and Rolfe at Water Comet—the latter a Salis­ bury man who had bought half of Greenleaf's interest, and who remained on the island until 1678, when he sold to James Coffin. The Barnard brothers, Thomas and Robert, tucked themselves in at the north head of the Hummock, close to the Indian Boundary, a convenient situation for Nathaniel, son to one and son-in-law to the other, who rather soon represented all the Barnard holdings locally. He was a shrewd trader. Appropriately his terrain was handy to barter with the Indians on one side, and butted in the opposite direction on the section reserved to "accommodate" the skilled artisans and seamen who were invited to inhabit on half-shares, on condition of serving the Occasions of the Island in Matters of Trade."

That is the ticket on which in 1665 Peter Folger became a Nantucketer.

You will find him and William Worth and John Coleman—whose father had divided his proprietorship with him and who was conveniently situated to look after the sheep at washing and shearing—and William Bunker, who was in charge of the mill at Wesquo Pond in succession to Peter Folger, in the lush region near No Bottom Pond. Nathaniel Wyer, a farmer who came in on a half-share because he was John Swain's father-in-law, gave his name to the pond next south of the Washing Pond. Pretty sparse, this "town," except on paper! On its skirts, to west and south, were commons, pastures, cran­ berry-bogs, wood-lots, peat-diggings. It ran, a curve sloping north-east, from the knot of primitive dwellings at Madaket. There were the four great farmsteads, suggestive of the hereditary yeoman's fiefs in the English West Country, whence Coffin and Macy and Coleman derived, and the cluster of houses in the settled region which gradually elongated itself toward Wesquo.

The "mechanicals," assigned to the far side, had, in the end, the best bargain!

When Richard Gardner of Salem came in 1667, on invitation to be a sea­ man, he pounced on land about Wesquo Pond for his lot. Probably he foresaw then, as an expert in his calling, that the populous town of the future would be built about the big harbor. There is record of Capaum's being open as late as 1701. It is certain that it was completely closed in 1729. A canny eye must have been aware of the sinister process. But old Tristram never moved from Northam. He built a second house there in later life for one of his younger sons.

As luck obligingly has it, "you are right, and I am right, and it is right, and all is right." By the time when the Settlers found it practicable to make full use of their mapped-out town-site, they began to layout a better. Wesquo Lots, Fish Lots, Newtown—-the Nantucket which we know grew by rapid

expansion after 1680. Houses that had been set up in comparative isolation on the chain of the Hummock Hills were moved to the new location, where elbow-room lessened. The section of No Bottom and "west-ard" was called Upper Town. John Gardner, a later comer than his older brother Richard, more assertive if not more foresighted than his senior, was the grand pro­ gressive in this shift, as well as in the battle for democracy. After securing the political plums for his brother and himself by direct appeal to the Duke's Vice-Governor, he found time on his way home from New York with his good news—very bad news for some other people—to stop off at the Vineyard and shake his fist in old Mr. Mayhew's face. Also he had the satis­ faction of naming the town, which included the new site together with the older "Upper Town," after his ancestral Sherborne in Dorsetshire, where his father and brother Richard were born. By a series of queer quirks, his op­ ponent Mayhew had won the day for the conservatives on Martha's Vineyard through the same personal appeal to the Duke's authority by which Gardner procured victory for the liberals on Nantucket.

Two last suggestions! Those who discredit the stirring tradition of Thomas Macy's flight from the mainland seem to overlook a certain record in the archives at Albany, New York. On January 5th, Sachem Nickanoose, "out of free Voluntary Love," gave Coatue to Edward Starbuck? What brought Edward to Nantucket in January of that year? A pleasure excursion? The fact fits rather well to the legend of his playing the Good Samaritan to his friend Macy's evasion. Two of the those itinerant Quakers whom Macy, and Richard Swain also, had "entertayned" were hanged in Boston that Decem­ ber. Macy had been under summons once before from the dread General Court. Owning a share in a remote isolation beyond their jurisdiction, what more reasonable than that he was tempted to emigrate in a hurry? Why, in any case, throw away a good tale which has been handed down in the Starbuck and Macy families?

If you wish to see what one of the primitive buildings at Mother Madaket looked like, inspect the cottage which for a long time has been called Sans Souci, at Siasconset. The Seth Pinkham family, its owners for over a hundred years, had the tradition that the major portion was moved al­ most intact, from Madaket to 'Sconset at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, to serve Captain William Brown, father to Mrs. Seth Pinkham, for an out-of-town squantum-house. Unless the interior has been greatly altered within a few years, you will see some interesting old beams and doors inside, and a fireplace especially constructed for burning peat. There have been changes to the exterior in all this course of time, prompted by various de­ sires to "improve." Deliberate archaizing is a modern art in New England.

The final question should be asked in a whisper, lest the "Strangers" present believe that we can pick flaws in our beloved Island. Did mosquitoes in any way stimulate the pioneers to select a site other than Madaket?

Resolutions.

Framed by Fred V. Fuller and Adopted at the Annual Meeting of 1937.

On November 27th, the Association lost by death Miss Annie Barker Folger and the fact that she had been made a Life Councillor showed the Association's recognition of her helpful efforts towards the attainment of its aims and objects.

For many years, until failing health demanded a quieter life, Miss Folger was present at our council meetings and manifested an active interest in all matters which were passed upon. A bequest of $1,000 is soon to come to the Association from her estate. Miss Folger did excellent work as an artist but, due to modesty, her paintings were seldom shown except upon request. Another artist has asserted that no one painted Nantucket landscape and seascape more true to life than Miss Folger. The Nantucket Historical Association wishes to place on record its appreciation of Miss Folger's sterl­ ing character and its deep sense of loss at her passing.

On May 1, Moses Joy, a life member of this Association, died in New York City at the age of 84, following an accident. For many years Mr. Joy was present at our annual meetings and usually a few anecdotes or reminiscenses were told by him.

His outstanding achievement in connection with Nantucket was the in­ troduction of water into the town. When 25 years old, he established the Wannacomet Water Company, and in 1878-9 water was led into town from the pond despite much opposition. Our present up-to-date water supply is a monument to his perseverance and energy.

Water systems at Milford, Hopedale, Lexington and other places were also built by him. He was an inventive genius as well as a machinist, but his particular hobby was photography and he made one of the first re­ versed films, showing a girl diving into the ocean at Coney Island and then, in defiance of gravity, rising from! the water to the diving board. Mr. Joy's picturesque presence will be much missed at our future meetings.
