Membership The Nantucket Historical Association is an organiza­ tion devoted to the preservation of the Island's famed past.

Because of Nantucket's importance in the Whaling Industry its history has become a vital phase in the large maritime history of the United States. For this reason alone, this Association is not an insular society.

During these times of stress we sincerely need the help of our members and urge you to continue your mem­ bership in the Association. More and more, with each phase of the war the importance of the American tradition is manifest. There is no place in America quite like Nantucket, the birthplace of American deep-sea whaling. The town stands unrivalled as an historical spot unchanged by time —an excellent example of how those mariners and mer­ chants lived.

Your support of our Association enables us to preserve the Whaling tradition. Your membership further allows us to carry on the work of maintaining our exhibits—the Whaling Museum, Oldest House, Fair Street Rooms and Quaker Meeting House, and the Old Mill. These are not only interesting and valuable exhibits and buildings in themselves but are community assets of the highest order.

Life Membership, $15.00; Sustaining Membership, $5.00; Annual Membership, $1.00; Junior Membership 50 cents—annually.

Please make checks payable to Robert D. Congdon, Treasurer, Nantucket, Mass.

ANNUAL MEETING The forty-eighth annual meeting of the Nantucket Historical Association was held on the afternoon of Monday, July 27, at the Friends' Meeting House on Fair Street, with a good attendance of members and friends.

The meeting opened with a brief word of welcome from the presiding officer, Edouard A. Stackpole, who referred to the role played by the Association in a national advertising campaign this winter, in which a full page "ad" featured an illustration of the Nantucket "Camels." In the field of economics, the insurance com­ pany issuing the advertisement compared its insurance facilities with the old-time island "Camels"—both being used to carry valued prop­ erty over the dangers in certain shallow places. Developing its role as a preserving and protecting unit, the Historical Association, said Mr. Stackpole, can serve in a like capacity by carrying the best of Nan­ tucket's traditions over the dangerous bars of present times.

The business portion of the meeting opened with a reading of her report as Secretary by Mrs. Oscar B. Eger. The report showed a total membership of 629, with 105 Life Members, 21 Sustaining Members, 471 Annual Members, and 32 Junior Members.

The report of the Treasurer, Robert D. Congdon, was read by Clinton T. Macy, a member of the Council. This report showed total receipts for the year as $4,925.99, of which amount $2,591.00 came from the Whaling Museum.

President Stackpole's report also embraced that of the Curator pro tern. It contained a summary of the year's work, as well as a com­ prehensive list of accessions during the past several months. The report in full will be found in these "Proceedings." *

Among the members present were William H. Tripp and Pemberton H. Nye, of New Bedford. Mr. Tripp, who is the well known Curator of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, has made the trip down each year especially to attend this meeting. In response to a request to "say a few words," Mr. Tripp expressed his pleasure in being present once more, having missed but two meetings during the past fifteen years. He mentioned the fact that his Museum is *S{ 7 )8*

feeling the same drop in attendance which has been experienced by similar exhibits in seaside resorts this year.

Mrs. Ruth Dame Coolidge, a member of the Nantucket Associa­ tion, who has just completed her second year as President of the Bay State Historical League, graciously accepted an invitation to speak. She mentioned some of the work done by the League and spoke of a condensed history of communities in war-times which might be of considerable aid to men now in the armed forces, revealing to them the fighting traditions of the particular community which they represented. *

Mrs. Alfred Shurrocks, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, presented its report which nominated the following officers for 1942-43: President—Edouard A. Stackpole.

Vice Presidents—Bassett Jones, Everett U. Crosby, Charles P. Kimball, Harry B. Turner, Col. Louis J. Praeger, Mrs. Walton H. Adams.

Secretary—Mrs. Oscar B. Eger.

Treasurer—Robert D. Congdon.

Curator Pro Tern—Edouard A. Stackpole.

Auditors—Miss Cora Stevens, Col. Louis J. Praeger.

Councillors—Miss Cora Stevens, Charles A. Selden, Clinton T. Macy, Dr. George A. Folger, Rev. William E. Gardner, Mrs. Carl B. Urann, Miss Grace Brown Gardner, David Wood.

The report was accepted upon vote of the meeting and the Sec­ retary instructed to cast one ballot for the election of the above-listed officers. *

Following the election, Miss Helen C. McCleary arose to request information concerning the wording of the Constitution as regards the office of Curator. In his annual report, Mr. Stackpole had pointed out that there had been no regular Curator since Mrs. Walton H. Adams had resigned last fall, and that he proposed the transferring of the Curator's duties into the hands of a co-operative committee, composed of the chairmen of the four exhibits. By electing a Curator pro tern the office is kept extant but the actual work of the position is placed in the hands of this "Custodian Committee."

As regards the Constitution of the Association, it was pointed out by Everett U. Crosby that as many as twenty-seven conflicting points appear in administrative and other functions. He declared that these obscure points should be cleared up for the well-being of the Association. Upon motion by Dr. William E. Gardner, duly seconded, <S( 8

it was voted to have a committee appointed to study and report on the Constitution, with the view of clarifying several important sec­ tions and clauses. *

Miss Mary Turlay Robinson, who retires from the Council this year, spoke to the meeting in regard to the restoration of certain old portraits—some of which will become irretrievably lost unless the work is done. She mentioned a fund of some $20', now in the Pacific Bank, originally collected to restore the famous Morse portrait which hung in the Nantucket Athenuem. This was sold last year to Yale University and the fund could now be used for work on the Associa­ tion's portraits.

Miss Robinson asked for donations to the fund from those present.

Some one suggested an immediate collection and the spontaneous idea was promptly acted upon. Borrowing a small lightship basket, Miss Robinson was able, in the space of a few minutes to fill a basket and announce a collection of $23.50 towards the fund. *

Ralph Smith, of the faculty of the Nantucket High School, was then called upon for a talk on the course in Nantucket history which has been introduced this year at the high school. As the instructor in this course, Mr. Smith gave an excellent summary of the work thus far. He not only brought out the objects underlying the program and its aims but mentioned the reaction of the pupils who composed the class. He read a list of the topics forming the schedule of the course, such as the Geological Formation of Nantucket, the First Fifty Years, Nantucket in War Times, Whaling, Quakerism, Island Industries, and so forth. These, he explained were in turn divided into several sub­ topics, so that the entire course gave a sound historical study of the island.

Many individuals have been of invaluable aid in launching this course, Mr. Smith asserted. He mentioned the help of Miss Grace Brown Gardner, who had not only loaned books and pamphlets from her personal collection but had taken over the class on occasions; William H. Tripp, who gave an illustrated lecture on Whaling; Mrs. Elias J. Lyon, for her delightful hospitality and talk on Nantucket architecture; the Association's President, Edouard A. Stackpole, for contributions in several fields; Miss Lydia Freeborn, for whaling data; Mrs. Alice Albertson Shurrocks, for details on the Indians; Everett U. Crosby for the loan of several privately printed items; and a number of other interested people who have contributed toward the success of the course.

Some of the items which the class needs were mentioned by Mr. Smith as follows: a copy of Douglas-Lithgow's history, maps, books •"§{ 9 )§•

on certain phases of the island's history, such as the story of the Quakers, etc., copies of The Inquirer and Mirror's "100 Years on Nantucket," issued in 1921. »

James Monaghan, who has given other annual meetings of the Association such interesting papers as "Anti-Slavery on Nantucket," "James Woolman on Nantucket," and "Audubon on Nantucket," this year read a paper entitled "Thoreau on Nantucket."

He first gave a brief sketch of Henry Thoreau's life, bringing out his college days, his friendship with Emerson, his career as the coproprietor of a private school, and his life as a recluse at Walden, where his famous journals were written.

Thoreau came to Nantucket in December of 1854, when he was a man of thirty-seven years. Mr. Monaghan read excerpts from Thoreau's journal in which was recorded his impressions of Nan­ tucket and a description of places visited, including an interesting word-picture of 'Sconset and an old historian living there in an ancient dwelling. Thoreau did not give the name of this patriarch but his identity can easily be ascertained as only one such figure resided in the village at that time. *

At the adjournment of the meeting a number of members lingered to examine the 123-year-old quilt recently presented the Association, which had been placed on exhibition draped on the front of the rising seats.

Secretary's Report.

Mr. President, Members and Friends of the Association: Another year with its encouragement and reverses has closed and we are again assembled in this old Quaker Meeting House to take our note of time.

The year has not been one of great activity and we have few items of outstanding value to offer for your consideration, but we have much for which to be thankful and most of all for our friends and members who have made it possible for us to carry on our work in these distressing times.

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 not special mention. Five Council Meetings have been held for necessary business, on Sept. 2, 1941, Nov. 10, 1941, Jan. 9, 1942, May 4, 1942, and June 30, 1942. With your permission I will dispense with the details con­ cerning the business of the year.

Early in the Fall, at the suggestion of Mrs. Alfred Shurrocks, complimentary copies of the "Proceedings" were sent to a selected list and as a result we have added to date three Life Members, two Sustaining Members and approximately twenty-one Annual Members.

This is a very gratifying return from the effort made by the com­ mittee under the direction of Mrs. Shurrocks.

This winter, notice was given that our Curator, Mrs. Walton H. Adams, owing to health and a pressure of other duties, felt obliged to tender her resignation, which was accepted reluctantly and with sincere regrets at a Council meeting on May 4, 1942. The Association has lost a faithful and efficient worker and I personally shall very much miss working with "Nancy" and consulting with her about many things pertaining to the Association. Her advice and assistance will be missed by us all.

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 shall have the assistance and advice of Mr. Fred V. Fuller, who has been for many years one of our Vice Presidents and one of our most active members. Mrs. Charles Jarvis, Mr. J. M. Willets, and Mr. William Mitchell Kendall, three of our Sustaining

4 n>

members, as well as many others have been called from us and their presence sadly missed by all.

I cannot close without paying tribute to Capt. George A. Grant, one of our most loyal and valued members and Custodian of the Whaling Museum, who died in May, 1942. Capt. Grant was out­ standing in his knowledge of whaling and the whaling days and this same knowledge which he imparted to thousands of visitors to the Whaling Museum each year must have been of unforgotten interest to all who were privileged to hear his lectures.

Our membership stands thus at the close of the fiscal year, June 3, 1942: Life Members—105; Sustaining Members—21; Annual Mem­ bers—471; Junior Members—32. Total—629.

Our Association, as its name implies, is the custodian of the history of Nantucket, and we hope that its usefulness will grow and be more appreciated from year to year.

Respectfully submitted, Catherine R. Eger, Sec'y.

Report of President and Curator Pro Tem. To the Members of the Association: The summer of 1941 proved the most prosperous yet experienced by the Association. The Whaling Museum, with an amazing attendance of nearly 9,000 people, topped its greatest year; the Old Mill also had a record-breaking year, while the Fair Street Museum and the Oldest House surpassed previous attendance marks. It is perhaps unnecessary to state that this year the pendulum has swung the other way. But economic conditions are never normal in war times and if it is Nan­ tucket's fate to suffer seriously from curtailment on the part of va­ cation seekers, we can do no more than express our willingness to accept such conditions, realizing the certain sacrifices which must be made by all parts of the nation in order that this war may be fought to a successful conclusion.

Not since the early days of this organization has there been such a difficult year for your officers. Due to a serious illness, Mrs. Walton H. Adams, who has been your Curator for the past sixteen years, was forced to relinquish her important post. In thus losing her services, the Association was faced with a grave problem. Since taking over the position after the resignation of Miss Susan Brock in 1926, Mrs. Adams has worked with a deep interest and has won the esteem of all with whom she has been associated. She has combined a diligent application to duty with a personal interest, and it is with consider­ able satisfaction that we announce her willingness to serve in an ac­ tive advisory capacity. Council meetings would not be complete with­ out her and she has therefore been appointed one of our Vice Presi­ dents.

After an unsuccessful search for a suitable replacement, the Council at length voted to appoint your President as Curator pro tem to finish out Mrs. Adams' unexpired term. Realizing all too well his own limitations in any effort to assume the office so ably filled in the past, your President called upon various members of the Council for aid and advice in several instances. The chairmen of the vari­ ous exhibits have co-operated so readily that the task has been made im­ measurably easier in view of the circumstances involved. At this time, your Curator pro tem would like to express his appreciation for the 4 13 >

excellent direction of these various chairmen—Mr. Everett U. Crosby, Mr. Charles P. Kimball, Mr. Clinton Macy, Mr. Harry Turner, and Mrs. Alfred Shurrocks. A special measure of thanks is due Dr. William E. Gardner, whose active interest and excellent advice has made it possible for your temporary Curator to accomplish certain worth-while results.

Last year the Council voted to empower the Curator and the chairmen of the four buildings with authority to "clear away" certain decks. At the Whaling Museum, early in the fall, Mrs. Adams and Mr. Kimball created a new exhibit room in the lower floor. Recently, Dr. Gardner, who has assumed Mr. Kimball's chairmanship, has continued the good work. During the past two weeks, Chairman Crosby of the Fair Street Rooms, and Dr. Gardner have made a number of "clearings" contemplated several months ago. I feel sure their deep interest and enthusiasm is appreciated by all.

With the office of the Curator temporarily empty, your President determined to put into effect his plan of a co-operative group com­ posed of Council members who will perform the duties usually shoul­ dered by the Curator. This group, now functioning, is under the guidance of the Council. Its task is to not only keep the buildings in repair but to place accessions, arrange for special exhibits and pre­ pare certain reports as to routine work. As an illustration of the work of this co-operative group, there is the "Folger Alcove" on the second floor of this building. After a year of such management, the Council will gradually have assumed the responsibility which once was all too frequently a difficult task for the Curator.

Your Historical Association has a definite goal in this war. Both in these days of feverish activity, preliminary to the great battles which are to come, we must call on our reserves to maintain the great traditions which, in the main, are our sole purpose for being an Asso­ ciation. We represent something which so many of the enslaved communities of Europe cling to as a hope for the future—tradition.

We do not gloss over the mistakes of the past for the sake of making the good deeds "shine brighter in a naughty world." We preserve our old things with the understanding of what they fully represent —steadfastness, true pride, application to duty, and faith in one another. Those were the attributes of old Nantucket.

We have met with a great loss in the passing of Fred V. Fuller.

A kindly man, imbued with the spirit of service to his community, he served this Association well, giving of his time constantly, always ready to lend his helpful advice in important decisions of the Council, and earning the respect and admiration of all. As Chairman of the Oldest House Committee he unobtrusively managed this adjunct of 14 ]a<-

our Association. Fortunately, in Clinton T. Macy the Council found one who was ready and qualified to take over the duties as Chairman of the Oldest House Committee.

Early on the morning of May 2, 1942, a valiant figure passed quietly into the realm of that unknown ocean. In so gently slipping his moorings for his last earthly voyage, George A. Grant—the "Captain Grant" of our Whaling Museum—also slipped the last knot which tied the Nantucket of today with the island of yesterday. He was the very last of the Nantucket Whalemen who lived in the real sea-life of this traditional New England industry. He had a further glory. Until a ripe aid age he breathed the very atmosphere of his real calling, serving as Custodian of the Whaling Museum since its launching in 1930. He was a true islander, both by inheritance and birth. Son of Captain Charles Grant, one of the most famous of Nan­ tucket's master whalemen, he was born on the island of Upolo, in the Navigator Group, on the 29th of October, 1856, where his mother had gone ashore from the the whaleship Mohawk. His mother, Nancy Jay (Wyer) Grant, was a brave and resourceful woman, who spent eight voyages aboard whaleships with her husband. After being car­ ried aboard ship at the age of three months, George Grant began a whaling career which lasted until 1889—over thirty years of con­ stant roving in whaling and merchant vessels. Upon returning home he went into the life-saving service, remaining a number of years.

He can never be re-placed.

The Association is fortunate, however, to have secured the services of Wallace Long as Custodian of the Whaling Museum. Mr. Long has had his apprenticeship in sail. Further than that he has a considerable knowledge of Nantucket sea-lore, including obscure points which are not familiar to any other islander. He is a craftsman in his own right, and his thorough knowledge of our last coasting vessels makes his services most valuable as a guiding light to many students of marine history who visit our Museum.

At the Fair Street rooms, Mrs. Alma Backus and Mrs. A. T. Winslow carry along their customary duties with the same faithful­ ness that makes them integral parts of our service. Their graciousness and suggestion have been of benefit and help to the committee.

At the Oldest House, Mrs. Folger continues her duties with charac­ teristic tact. At the Whaling Museum, Miss Van Pelt is once more at the desk and Miss Freeborn has resumed her duties as librarian which she took up last summer for the first time.

It is with regret that announcement is made of the resignation of Charles P. Kimball as Chairman of the Whaling Museum committee.

Due to his appointment to do research war work in Rochester, Mr.

Kimball has had to leave many of his island activities temporarily.

Again, Dr. William E. Gardner has proven his generous spirit for service by accepting the post at this important Museum. His ability and experience make the Association deeply indebted to him.

There has been a change in the routine work of the Old Mill this year. The Councillors have decided to open it each day, as heretofore, but to arrange a percentage basis with the custodian which allows him 60% of the gross proceeds and the Association the remaining 40%. Nathan Thurston, whose excellent work as miller during the past few seasons is recognized by all familiar with the Mill, found it im­ possible to accept the new financial conditions, much to the regret of the Council, and the services of Albert Bloomfield, instructor at the Coffin School during the winter months, were secured.

Your Council is happy to report that a course of study in Nan­ tucket History is now being conducted at the High School. Two years ago, Mrs. Shurrocks and another officer in your Association discussed the matter. Several lectures were given before special classes, and considerable interest manifested. Mrs. Shurrocks arranged for a special meeting of the School Committee, teachers and Association members, and this was soon followed by a second such meeting. Superintendent Clarence Sturtevant, whose leadership has been evident both in and out of the Schools, immediately suggested a history course, and the delegated instructor, Mr. Ralph Smith, proceeded to arrange an inter­ esting and enlightening program. This is one of the most important innovations in the life of a community of which this or any similar Association may boast. Its potentialites are stimulating.

Last fall, Richard C. Maloney, Principal of the Cyrus Peirce School, directed the pupils of Grade V in constructing a replica of an old-fashioned fire place. Upon his request your President, with the sanction of the Council, arranged for the loan of certain fireplace equipment and other items of the older day, to be placed by the pupils. The exhibit in the school room made a decided impression at the "open house" night. A picture of it which appeared in the local newspaper attracted much attention off-island, and Mr. Maloney re­ ceived letters from several other schools (one in Alabama) asking the details. The inauguration of the Nantucket History class in the High School also caused editorial comment in the newspapers on the mainland, and having established the precedent it appears that the Nantucket idea is to be adopted in other high schools throughout the State.

There have been a number of accessions during the year, all of which have been properly acknowledged and catalogued. The most im­ portant single group of accessions is now on exhibition in the north416 >

east corner of the balcony of the Fair Street Museum. Your committee hopes you will make an especial effort to see the "Walter Folger, Jr. Alcove," where is placed the famous Walter Folger astronomical clock, the William Swain portrait of Walter Folger, Jr., portraits of his youngest son and daughter-in-law, Edward R. and Mary Ann Folger, and their son John B. Folger (as a boy); a cabinet of china used by Edward R. and his descendants; chairs used by Walter Folger; the group having been made possible through the kindness and interest of Miss Annie Alden Folger.

In order to properly accommodate this loan, it was necessary to make repairs to the roof corner and to construct a wall surface so that the danger of seepage is eliminated. Many other Walter Folger, Jr., items, including the famous telescope, have been placed in and near the Alcove so that we have a distinct Folger collection.

Another group accession of considerable interest comes from Ezra Farnham, of 4 Clinton Street, Taunton, Mass. Mr. Farnham's grandfather was Captain David G. Patterson, of Nantucket, and it was from this master mariner's personal relics that Mr. Farnham selected a number of outstanding items. First, a rosewood box which contained a silver chronometer watch. The King of Prussia, through his personal representative in this country, presented Capt. Patterson this chronometer watch in recognition of his bravery in rescuing the captain and crew of the Prussian bark "Elwine Frederick," wrecked on Great Point Rip on April 21, 1863. Captain Patterson moved to East Boston, where he spent the last years of his life. During those years he disposed of the watch but would never part with the rosewood box with its inscription, in German, and its translation and other remarks on the inside of the case. Second, a sextant which Captain Patterson first carried with him on board the schooner Mary & Emm when he sailed this craft from Nantucket to California in 1849. She was the smallest craft ever to round Cape Horn up to that time, and he had only two other men and a dog on board with him. Third, a number of original documents written by Captain Patterson, contain­ ing his first-hand accounts of rescues and salvage operations in which he participated, These are not only valuable historically but give personal accounts of these incidents, in which he was many times the leading spirit. The donations of Mr. Farnham have been placed in the Whaling Museum.

Also at the Museum on Broad street has been placed a picked up on the beach below Sankaty in May, 1942, which name of the ill-fated tanker Dixie Arrow.

Among the books presented to the Whaling Museum is esting "Swordfishing With the Harpoon in New England i6f 17)3^

14-ft. oar bears the the inter­ Waters,"

presented by the author Dr. E. W. Gudger, of the American Museum of Natural History, and "The Courses of the Ohio River," by Thomas Hutchins, presented by the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio.

Miss Annie Bryant, of Springfield, has donated to the Nantucket Whaling Museum her grandfather's (Captain William Bryant's) framed memberships to the Boston Marine Society and the Fensibles, as well as a logbook and his brass speaking trumpet.

Among the gifts placed in the Fair Street rooms is a Nantucket Box Wagon, presented by Charles Chadwick. This was owned for sixty years by the late Franklin P. Chadwick, of Polpis, and was built for him in the 1870's by George B. Paddack, the famous island carriagemaker and wheelwright. Although Paddack built many wagons of this type the Association has never availed itself of the opportunity to secure one until this year.

A recent gift is a wonderful old quilt, at least 123 years old, made

by Judith Starbuck Folger. It is lined with lamb's wool. Mrs. Judith Folger Pollard, grand-daughter of the maker, willed it to the Associ­ ation, and it has been donated by her daughter, Mrs. Harriett Bur­ rows.

A sea chest purchased from Moses Joy some years ago by the late Miss Emma Van Pelt, of Morristown, N. J., and Nantucket, has been donated to the Whaling Museum's collection by Miss S. Eliza­ beth Van Pelt, who has been at the desk of the Whaling Museum the past eleven years.

In 1862 the graduating class of the Nantucket High School pre­ sented B. F. Morrison, the Principal of the High School, with a Bible. In May, the Bible was sent to the Association by Mr. Morrison's daughter.

At the head of the stairs in Fair Street Museum is a picture of considerable interest. It is pastel done by the Nantucket artist of the past century—George Fish—and was done about 1860. The picture represents "Nature, Art, Peace and Industry." Mrs. Judith Fish is posed twice, the dark-haired figure is a daughter of Frederick C. Sanford, and the little girl with the basket was posed by Mary Richmond Wilber, later Mrs. Millard F. Freeborn. The picture was done by the artist for Captain Sanford Wilber, and is presented to the Association

by Lydia Sanford Freeborn and Rhoda Willis Freeborn Gardner.

A few minutes before the meeting opened Miss . Annie Alden Folger presented the Association, on behalf of herself and Rev. Lyman Greenman, her cousin, a collection of the papers of Walter Folger, Jr. These papers were found in the Folger house on Farmer street by 18

Mr. and Mrs. William E. Small. They have been arranged in catalogue from Mr. Greenman and contain many interesting and valuable bits of island history as well as being an excellent Walter Folger, Jr., dossier.

Through the interest and generosity of Everett U. Crosby the Fair Street Museum has a new pamphlet which is entitled "A Guide to Several Interesting Exhibits." It offers suggestions to visitors who may wish to spend a quarter hour to much longer in browsing about among the collections—a guide to just a few of the groups chosen at random for the purpose.

The exhibits listed and described in some considerable detail in­ clude: "Indian Relics," "Portraits," "Silver," "Maps," the "Walter Folger, Jr., Alcove," and "Thirty Minutes with the Children."

"The Guide to Indian Relics" includes the famous "Shurrocks Collection" presented the Fair Street rooms a few years ago. The "Portraits" number several which were selected for especial comment

by Miss Mary Turlay Robinson when she did some research work on these and other Nantucket portraits for the Frick Art Reference Museum some time ago. The section devoted to the description of certain silver items contain facts which were discovered by Everett U. Crosby during his research into Nantucket Silversmiths two years back. The "Walter Folger Jr., Alcove" pages list items which form this recent addition to the Rooms. The section entitled "Thirty Minutes With Children" should prove of great interest to the young visitors to the Museum. Such items as the Dauphin, brought over from France in 1796, dolls beds, tea sets, standing stools, fireplace utensils, guns and swords, old fire engine, etc., will become outstanding objects of interest after bits of their history are thus revealed.

In his preliminary, Mr. Crosby wrote: "Our exhibits are not displayed in a manner modern or modernistic. The Museum savors more of the 'Old Curiosity Shop' or the 'glorified attic,' Some of us find a visit to large modern museums something of an ordeal. There is the approach up interminable flights of stairs and through vast halls. There are fearsome uniformed keepers to insist we deposit our umbrellas and all packages before entering. We are clicked through turnstiles and carefully watched throughout our stay. Beautiful cases contain the exhibits with proper Latin inscriptions. We emerge with a sense of fatigue and a feeling we may be followed and searched. .... But there are a few of the old type left and they are appreciated." * * * * * * * * * * This report has been lengthy beyond my intent. I trust it has given you something beyond a detailed statement—that it carries more of a message than might emanate from a mere report. This hS( 19

Association is in a transitory phase as regards certain methods of functioning. Your President has hoped to transfer the governing or administrative functions into the hands of the Council. After years of direction by Presidents who have had more or less complete charge of activities, this Association is naturally entering upon a course in which the management by the Council members is proving a satisfact­ ory solution for many problems. With the work of the co-operative group of Chairmen and their committees, the Association can look forward with confidence. Our task is to preserve and protect an im­ portant chapter in the American tradition. It shall be done.

Respectfully submitted, EDOUARD A. STACKPOLE.

GEORGE A. GRANT

Custodian, The Whaling Museum, 1930—1942.

In Memoriam -- George A. Grant.

Early on the morning of May 2, 1942, a valiant figure passed quietly into the realm of that unknown ocean. In so gently slipping his moorings for his last earthly voyage, George A. Grant—the "Captain Grant" of our Whaling Museum—also slipped the last knot which tied the Nantucket of today with the island of yesterday. He was the very last of the Nantucket Whalemen who lived in the real sea-life of this traditional New England industry. He had a 'further glory. Until a ripe aid age he breathed the very atmosphere of his real calling, serving as Custodian of the Whaling Museum since its launching in 1930. He was a true islander, both by inheritance and birth. Son of Captain Charles Grant, one of the most famous of Nan­ tucket's master whalemen, he was born on the island of Upolo, in the Navigator Group, on the 29th of October, 1856, where his mother had gone ashore from the the whaleship Mohawk. His mother, Nancy Jay (Wyer) Grant, was a brave and resourceful woman, who spent eight voyages aboard whaleships with her husband. After being car­ ried aboard ship at the age of three months, George Grant began a whaling career which lasted until 1889—over thirty years of con­ stant roving in whaling and merchant vessels. Upon returning home he went into the life-saving service, remaining a number of years.

When the Whaling Museum was opened in 1930, the late William F. Macy, then President of the Association, engaged George Grant to arrange the whaling gear and other items in close association with Mr. Grant's former calling. His work is an enduring monument to his knowledge. As Custodian of the Museum from its opening until his passing, he gave an intangible personality which can never be present there again.

Thoreau in Nantucket.

BY JAMES MONAGHAN. The famous and peculiar David Henry Thoreau is of French and Scotch ancestry, as his name indicates. A son of his great-grand­ father left his home in the Isle of Guernsey and came to New England in 1773 and married a Scotch woman. They settled in famous Concord, Massachusetts. Their son, John, Jr., married Cynthia Dunbar, of good New England family, and Henry was born on July 12, 1817. His mother was witty as well as wise and when some one spoke to her, in after years, of her son's intellectual style of writing resembling Emerson's, she said: "Yes, Mr. Emerson's style is like my son's!"

Henry inherited his mother's intellect as well as her wit and her fondness for the out-of-doors.

At Concord Academy he prepared for Harvard University which he entered at sixteen. He always went to the chapel in a green coat, because, as he said, the rules required black. He refused to take his degree saying five dollars was too high a price to pay for it. He afterwards refused to pay his poll tax and landed in jail, where Emerson called on him and asked him why he was there. His reply was: "Why are you not here?"

He early expressed his theory of life as follows: "Great God, Than that I And next in That I may

I ask Thee no meaner pelf may not disappoint myself value which Thy kindness lends, greatly disappoint my friends."

A good example of these qualities occurred when he was teaching school in Concord. Against his wishes he was required to use the rod on his pupils, so one day he was ordered to whip six of them—one being the maid servant in his own home. As soon as he did it, he resigned from the School. But, as he had to earn his own living, he began by making lead pencils, a business his father had carried on successfully. When told that his pencils were equal to the best London make he exclaimed: "I shall never make another pencil. I would not do again what I have done once."

He did much surveying and other work and commented thereon as follows: "I went on thus for a long time .... 'till it became more 24 )§•

and more evident that my townsmen would not after all admit me into the list of town officers, nor make my place a sinecure with a moderate allowance."

Later he and his brother John opened a private school in his father's house. They introduced "field trips," an American innovation.

He was admirably suited for this, as Nathan Haskell Dole says in his introduction to Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers: "He was trained in the School of Hiawatha. Squirrels would leap down to his shoulder and nestle in his pocket. He would visit the festive woodchuck in her holes; she regarded it as no insult if he pulled her out by her tail He knew the haunts of all the wild creatures of the woods and fields."

The Concord and Merrimack book was Thoreau's first volume, published at his own expense with borrowed money. Of the 1000 copies published, 75 were given away and 215 sold, and the rest returned to him. He states in his diaries "he had a library of nearly 900 vol­ umes, 700 of which he had written himself."

Besides this first book, only one other was published in his life­ time, "Walden, or Life in the Woods." This was in the famous little hut built by him "about two miles south of their only field [then] known to fame, Concord Battle Ground." Now his Little Hut on Walden Pond is also well known to fame. He spent two years and two months there, and, as he says, earned his living by the labor of his hands only.

He kept an elaborate daily diary begun when he was twenty years old and continued for twenty years, making up thirty large volumes of manuscript, often drawn upon by him for essays and lectures, but not published in their entireties until after his death.

When he left the Little Hut he returned to his father's house for a short stay. He commented on his father as follows: "He re­ membered more about the worthies (and unworthies) of Concord village .... than any one else." Not very praiseworthy, surely!

Early in 1841, the brothers, in the full tide of success, closed their school on account of John's ill health. John died on January 11, 1841. Emerson's son Waldo died sixteen days later. Their joint sorrow drew them together and the next few years marked the height of their friendship.

About this time Thoreau was disappointed in a brief love affair.

He later referred to this in the first chapter of "Walden" as "his loss of "a hound, a bay horse and a turtle-dove and [he says, I] am still on their trail," but he never found the turtle-dove. For five years after his return from the Pond he lived a happy life. He was fortunate in the friends he made. They included the members of the Transcendental Club, the Alcotts, James Freeman Clark, 4 25 )§•.

George Ripley, Margaret Fuller D'Ossoli, Henry Channing, Henry James, Horace Greeley, Lucretia Mott, and later Walt Whitman.

But Emerson no doubt influenced him more than any of the others, especially as a writer.

Thoreau took an active part in the anti-slavery movement. He was the first American to take the part of John Brown in a speech in Boston which won many followers. He also put a fugitive slave on the train for Canada. He was friendly to the Indians, too.

The poet Lowell in his "Study Windows" has an interesting and detailed discussion on Thoreau. I can quote a very brief part of what he says: "Strange books these are of his, and interesting in many ways He thought everything a discovery of his own Everything grows fresh under his hand."

Henry James called him "an odd genius living for the ages .... for the universe and not for Concord."

I am indebted to the Natural Science Department of the Maria Mitchell Association for the explanation of scientific terms herein­ after quoted.

I was unable to secure access to Thoreau's Journals and I wish to express our indebtedness to Dr. Ada Klett, of Vassar College, now a summer resident of Nantucket and a member of the Nantucket Historical Association, for her kindness in searching and copying the references to Nantucket as written by Thoreau in his Journal, which follow here from his Volume VII, pages 91 to 97.

"Dec. 27 (1854) To Nantucket via Hyannis in misty rain.

"On Cape Cod [I] saw the hills through the mist covered with cladonias. A head wind and rather rough passage of three hours to Nantucket, the water being thirty miles over. Captain Edward W. Gardiner (where I spent the evening) thought there was a beach at Barnegat similar to that at Cape Cod. Mr. Barney, formerly a Quaker minister there, who was at Gardiner's, told of one Bunker in Nantucket in old times, 'who had eight sons, and steered each in his turn to the killing qf a whale.' Gardiner said you must have been a-whaling there before you could be married, and must have struck a whale before you could dance. They do not think much of crossing from Hyannis in a small boat—in pleasant weather, that is—but they can safely do it. A boy was drifted across this in a storm in a rowboat about two years ago. By luck he struck Nantucket. [I am not sure if this was meant for rhymes.] The outline of the island is continually changing. The whalers now go chiefly to Behring's Straits, and every­ where between 35 N and S latitude and catch several kinds of whales.

It was [Captain] Edmund Gardiner of New Bedford (a relative of Edward's) who was carried down by a whale [and then cast up, 4 26 )§••

minus one hand and also minus his trousers: An Island Patchwork, page 120] and Hussey of Nantucket who, I believe, was one to draw lots to see who should be eaten. [It was also brave little Owen Coffin, of the Essex: Stevens' Nantucket, pages 64—5.] As for communica­ tion with the mainland being interrupted, Gardiner remembers when thirty-one mails were landed at once, which, taking out Sundays, made five weeks and one day. The snow ten days ago fell about ten inches deep, but melted instantly.

"At the Ocean House, I copied from William Coffin's Map of the town (1834) this: 30,590 acres, including three isles besides. 1050 are fresh ponds; about 759 peat swamp. Clay in all parts. But only granite or gneiss boulders.

"Dec. 28. A misty rain as yesterday. Captain Gardiner carried me to Siasconset in his carriage. He has got from forty to forty-five or fifty bushels of corn from his land. Wished to know how to distinguish guinea cocks from guinea hens. He is extensively engaged in raising pines on the island. There is not a tree to be seen, except such as are set out about houses. The land is worth commonly from a dollar to a dollar and a half. He showed me several lots of his, of different ages— one tract of three hundred acres sown in rows with a planter, where the young trees, two years old, were just beginning to green the ground, —and I saw one of Norway pine and our pitch mixed, 8 years old, which looked quite like a forest at a distance. The Norway pines had grown the fastest, with a longer shoot, and had a bluer look at a distance, more like the white pines. The American pitch pines have a reddish, crisped look at top. Some are sown in rows, some broadcast. At first he was alarmed to find that the ground moles had gone along in the furrows directly under the plants and so injured the roots as to kill many of the trees, and he sowed over again. He was also discouraged to find that a sort of spindle worm had killed the leading shoot of a great part of his neighbor's older trees. These plantations must very soon change the aspect of the island. His common pitch pine seed, obtained from the Cape, cost him about twenty dollars a bushel at least, about a dollar a quart, with the ^vings, and they told him it took about eighty bushels of cones to make one such bushel of seeds.

I was surprised to hear that the Norway pine seed without the wings, imported from France, had cost not quite $200 a bushel delivered at New York or Philadelphia. He has ordered eight hogsheads (!!!) of the last, clear wingless seeds, at this rate. I think he said it took about a gallon to sow an acre. He had tried to get white pine seed, but in vain. The cones had not contained any of late (?). This looks as if he meant to sow a good part of the island, though he said he might sell some of the seed. It is an interesting enterprise.

•<{27^

"Half way to Siasconset I saw the old corn-hills where they had formerly cultivated, the authorities laying out a new tract for this purpose each year. This island must look exactly like a prairie, except that the view in clear weather is bounded by the sea. Saw crows, saw and heard larks frequently, and saw robins; but most abundant, running along the ruts or circling about just over the ground in small flocks, what the inhabitants called snowbirds, a gray bunting-like bird about the size of the snow bunting. Can it be the sea-side finch? or the Savannah sparrow? or the shore lark? [Proba­ bly junco, I am told.]

"Gardiner said that they had pigeon, hen, and other hawks, but there are no places for them to breed; also owls, which must breed, for he had seen their young. A few years ago some one imported a dozen partridges from the mainland, but, though some were seen for a year or two, not one had been seen for some time, and they were thought extinct. He thought the raccoons, which had been very num­ erous, might have caught them. In [President?] Harrison's days [1841?] some coons were imported and turned loose, and they multi­ plied very fast and became quite a pest, killing hens, etc., and were killed in turn. Finally they turned out and hunted them with hounds and killed seventy-five at one time, since which he had not heard of any. There were foxes once, but none now, and no indigenous animals bigger than a 'ground mole.'

"The nearest approach to woods that I saw was the swamps, where the blueberries, maples, etc., are higher than a man's head. I saw, as I rode, high blueberry bushes and maple in the swamps, huckleberries, scrub oaks, uva-ursi (which he called mealy-plum), gaultheria [winter-green], beach plum, clethra [sweet pepper bush], mayflower [trailing arbutus] (well budded). Also withered poverty grass [barren heath], goldenrods, asters. In the swamps are cran­ berries, and I saw one carting the vines home to set out, which also many are doing. G. described what he made out to be 'star grass' as common.

"Saw at Siasconset perhaps fifty little houses, but almost every one empty. Saw some peftiliar horse carts for conveying fish up the bank, made like a wheelbarrow, with a whole iron-bound barrel for a wheel, a rude square box for the body, resting on the shafts, and the horse to draw it after him. The barrel makes a good wheel in the sand. They may get seaweed in them. A man asked thirty-seven cents for a horsecart-load of seaweed carried a quarter of a mile from the shore.

"G. pointed out the house of a singular old hermit and genealogist, over seventy years old, who, for thirty years at least, has lived alone and devoted his thoughts to genealogy. He knows the genealogy of •s5{28)&-

the whole island, and a relative supports him by making genealogical charts from his dictation for those who will pay for them. He at last lives in a very filthy manner, and G. helped clean his house when he was absent about two years ago. They took out three barrels of dirt in his room. [I have hesitated to hunt for his name as, may I dare to suggest, he might be an ancestor of some of my readers.]

"Ascended the lighthouse at Sankoty Head. The mist still pre­ vented my seeing off >nd around the island. I saw eggs (?) of some creature in dry masses as big as my fist, like the skins of so many beans, on the beach. G. told me of a boy who, a few years since, stole near to some wild geese which had alighted, and, rushing on them, seized two before they could rise, and, though he was obliged to let one go, secured the other.

"Visited the Museum at the Atheneum. Various South Sea im­ plements, etc., etc., brought home by the whalers. ' "The last Indian, not of pure blood, [Abram Quary] died this very month [Nov. 25], and I saw his picture with a basket of huckle­ berries in his hand. [His picture hangs in the Atheneum.]

"Dec. 29. Nantucket to Concord at 7:30 a. m.

"Still in mist. The fog was so thick that we were lost on the water; stopped and sounded many times. The clerk said the depth varied from three to eight fathoms between the island and Cape.

Whistled and listened for the locomotive's answer, but probably heard only the echo of our own whistle at first, but at last the locomotive's whistle and the life-boat bell.

"I forgot to say yesterday that there was at one place an almost imperceptable rise not far west of Siasconset, to a slight ridge or swell running from Tom Never's Head northward to (John) Gibbs' Swamp. This conceals the town of Nantucket. (John Gibbs was the name of the Indian Philip came after). This, seen a mile off through the mist which concealed the relative distance of the base and sum­ mit, appeared like an abrupt hill, though an extremely gradual swell.

"At the end of Obed Macy's History of Nantucket are some verses signed 'Peter Polger, 1676.' " 'As for the sin which God would punish by the Indian war,— Sure 'tis not chiefly for those sins that magistrates do name, but for the sin of persecution and the like, the banishing and whipping of godly men. " 'The cause of this their suffering was not for any sin, But for the witness that they bare against babes sprinkling

-6{29^

" 'The church may now go stay at home, there's nothing for to do; Their work is all cut out by law, and almost made up, too.

" ' 'Tis like that some may think and say, our war would not remain, If so be that a thousand more of natives were but slain. "'Alas! these are but foolish thoughts; God can make more arise, And if that there were none at all, He can make war with flies'."

I think I should add a few words on Folger's poetry, especially as it comments on the character of both Thoreau and Folger. The poem, written 178 years before Thoreau's visit, is entitled: "A Look­ ing Glass For the Times, or the Former Spirit of New England Revived in this Generation." This title should be kept in mind. The lines selected by Thoreau were evidently near to his heart as well as to Folger's. The closing touch of comedy is quite characteristic of both.

As to John Gibbs, he was a Nantucket Indian, who had unpardonably offended Philip, King of the Massachusetts Indians and head of the Indian war, by mentioning the name of Philip's deceased father, an Indian sin, so he pursued Gibbs to Nantucket. The latter concealed himself in the large cranberry swamps just north of the road from Nantucket borough to Siasconset village. But Philip found him there and threatened to kill him. The English Nantucketers took Gibbs' part and saved him, and they later sent him to Harvard and he became a preacher and he preached for some 25 years in the first public building erected in Nantucket. They named the swamp Gibbs' Swamp and the pond Gibbs' Pond, which names have been kept until today, as appears by the maps.

The Redoubtable Captain Patterson.

Through the interest and kindness of Mr. Ezra Farnham, of 4 Clinton Street, Taunton, Mass., the Association has come into the possession of certain historical items from the estate of his grand­ father, Captain David G. Patterson. These accessions have been noted in the report of the Curator pro tem in these Proceedings. Among the gifts were a number of documents written by Captain Patterson, containing his first-hand accounts of rescues and salvage operations in which he participated about the shores of Nantucket. These are of considerable historic value.

Captain David G. Patterson was one of the most daring and skillful mariners of whom Nantucket may boast. He had an extensive knowledge of the waters in this vicinity and was many times called upon for rescue work. Among the crews saved by his resourcefulness were those of the "Forest Prince," rescued in December, 1842; the "Susan and Mary" and the "Sarah," in March, 1859, and the "May Queen," in December, 1861. He was one of the two schooner-masters who rescued 226 Irish immigrants from the ship "British Queen," wrecked off Muskeget in December, 1851, while bound for New York from Dublin. Captain Patterson received numerous awards for his bravery from the Massachusetts Humane Society.

One of Captain Patterson's accounts of his rescue work has to do with saving the "captain and crew of the brig "May Queen." This craft was bound from New Orleans to Boston, with a cargo of sugar, molasses and honey, in command of Captain E. C. Giles, of Portland, and having a crew of six men. On the morning of Monday, December 2, 1861, watchers in the South Tower discovered the brig, wrecked on the south shore, a mile from the farm of Joseph Vincent.

Captain Patterson's account follows: "Being in the Tower as usual early in the morning, I saw a brig ashore at the South Shore. I immediately left for the wreck with a team and crew about five miles from town.

"On my arrival at the wreck I found her full of water and had the appearance of coming to pieces very soon, the crew being in the 4 31

rigging and the sea going over her hull. Being the agent for the Massachusetts Humane Society's boats and other property on the island, I sent a team to town for the howitzer and life car, and another team for the life boat which was in a house on the shore near the wreck.

"By the time the boat arrived we had got a line ashore from the wreck which was about sixty fathoms from the shore. We soon had the boat ready, the current running with such velocity between the brig and shore that we had to haul off and on by the line, and keep three (men fast) to it to keep the boat from going out by the brig's bow. We passed three times from the shore to the brig, filling the boat each time in landing.

"The last trip to the brig she (the boat) was nearly filled along­ side of her when all the crew had to use their hats to bail her out, having but one bucket in the boat, having lost the other, always having two in all the life-hoats, made fast to the boats.

"We got the last man in and left for the shore as soon as the boat was bailed out. For the third time the boat filled but we all got safe on the beach, just as the howitzer and life car arrived on the spot.

"The vessel went to pieces soon after. Very little was saved from her.

"In this case, as in eight others where I have rescued ship­ wrecked mariners from wrecks, in a life-boat or other boats, the Massachusetts Humane Society has awarded us money in the room of medals. In all the cases the crew has preferred the money, so I had to take the money. I should have had mine gold medals, had my crew not preferred the money, which compelled me to take the money, also." #*

In its brief account of the marine disaster, The Mirror of Decem­ ber, 1861, stated: "After several fruitless efforts to send a line from the vessel to the shore, a bluefish line was thrown from the shore to the vessel by William J. Ellis, and to this a larger cord was attached; by this a larger line was drawn from the vessel to the shore and made fast. By this time a life hoat, which had been sent for by Captain David G. Patterson, arrived and, under his command, went near enough to the vessel to rescue the captain and crew, seven in all, who were conveyed to shore very much exhausted by the exposure and toil of the wearisome night."

A writer in the next issue of The Mirror declared: "Captain Patterson needs no defense in a community whose citizens -§f 32

'

have so often shuddered at witnessing his daring and coolness when lives were to be saved." In this same issue Captain Giles of the May Queen extended his "warmest thanks to Captain Patterson and the boat's crew under his command who rescued him and his crew from their perilous position on the morning of the 2nd inst." **

Captain Patterson's most famous exploit, perhaps, was his search and discovery of the ship Jacob A. Westvelt, of New York, bound to that port with a thousand emigrants on board, and which struck on a shoal south of the "Old South Shoal." He directed the operations which got the ship safely into deep water and then piloted her out of the dangerous reaches of Nantucket Shoals, thence to New York.

This redoubtable master mariner was the first man to accurately chart that particular shoal now called "Davis' South Shoal," and al­ though he lost the honor of having it named for himself, he never ceased to stoutly claim its prior right of discovery.

The "Captain Patterson" documents are in the Whaling Museum where also has been placed his rosewood "chronometer box" from the King of Prussia, and his sextant, which he brought around Cape Horn with him on board the tiny schooner Mary & Emma during the gold rush days of the 49'ers to California.
