Rstrcss over the. strange ship that had
IfSpeared at the. mouth of the harbor.
The town was a great, nsnmg place
in those, days, and the harbor was full
of smacks and boats of all kinds. The
ulrilish soldiers could have easily
sMitered the harbor and burnt up every
thing. There, were men enough lo
anake :v goid light, but Ihey were
xorly armed, and had nothing but
fowling-piece.s ami hot-guns. The
title w:is down during the morning, so
that there vr:us no danger for a few
liours. and all .he. people weiij. out on
faie idilTs and be:vche-s to watch the
great ship, and totscc what would hap
pen next.
v- On the end, of hu low, tciudv sjit
tliat f.nna one end of die harbor stood
the little while tower known a.s Seitu
iile lighL In the house behind the
light-house lived' the keeper's familv.
consisting of hiuisclf, wife and several
Iku s and giris. At the time the ship
.appeared Ihe keeper was away, ami
there was no ne at homo save Mrs.
Hates. tho cddesl d:tughter, Rebecca,
then about nineteen years old. and
Abigail, then aliouL fifteen years of
age. and two of the little lioys! Ue
liecea had discovered the ship while
sflie was up in the light-house towerpol
ishjug the rcflcclor. Sho at once tle
scended tho steep stairs and sent the
two little boys-o the village to give the
alarm.
For an hemr or two the ship tacked j
and stood off to ea. then tacked again
and made for the shore. Men. women
2aml children watched Uio Jiip withi
ibiixKjus interest. Tho lido turned and
fcegan to Hot into the harbor. The
boats aground ami on tho flaLs floated,
land those in deep water were swint-
Diirtg around their moorings. Now!
Che soldiers would probably laud. If j
Ihe people meant lo Rare any thing it
Was time to be stirring. Boats were I
tastily put out from tho wharf, andj
gich clothing, nets and other raiua-
blcs a.s could ho handled were brou"ht
ashore, loaded into hay earLs ajil car
ried away. It was of no ti-e to resi-t.
The .soldiers, of course, were arriP-d,
and if the pcojile male a -Land anion;;

fnerny from dctroyin thr .-hipping in
