c lakes, called the Great pond. The rock by the river, undoubtedly the rock near the end of Hastings lane, had already been in use. There is a touch of thrifty New England in the condition that the new purchaser may use this landing place, provided he lays his wood and timber in such manner as will not block up the place for Mr. Cecond son of the Rev. Edward Brooks was the well-known Peter Chardon Brooks. The era in which Mr. Brooks lived corresponded more or less exactly with growth of New England in mercantile and manufacturing interests. The same year that little Peter was watching the shining bayonets from the garret window of his home, the home of hid the funds, that I made money hand over hand. In June, 1803, I quitted the business of a private insurance office. . . . In 1806 I became the president of the New England Insurance Company and so remained about ten years, since which I have been my own man. . . . For this whole period of ten years, I believe, I was in the State S

ut now who said that reinforcements for the British troops had marched toward Lexington, and that the first force was marching from Concord and the farmers were fighting all along the road. Porter. Gage doubtless sent reinforcements as the rumor ran. Think you our men can face the cannon and musketry of the king's trained troops? Mrs. Fulton. Were I a man I'd fight. Abigail. And I. Tufts. They can and will. And you know, good sir, they need not stand before the cannon's mouth. New England soldiers have learned much of old from the Indians. Porter. What would poor Colonel Royall think of this? Tufts. Would he were here. His heart has been ever with us, and he could not but take fire had he seen the faces of those men of Danvers. Heat, exhaustion, hunger, thirst—forgotten in that determination to stand for their liberty. Abigail. You should have seen father and our minutemen as they started forth in the morning, with old Master Putnam and William Polly, who's hard
Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 30., The Mayflower of the Pilgrims. (search)
13 feet, 6 inches long by 4 feet, 9 inches wide. This model was under the personal supervision of Capt. J. W. Collins. It is an exact miniature, in hull and rig, of a ship of the date and size of the Mayflower. Careful attention was given to its construction in all details; it was built from the lines and rigged from the sail plan of a ship contemporaneous with the Mayflower, and, it may fairly be assumed, represents such a ship as brought the Pilgrims from Plymouth, England, to the New England coasts. The Pilgrims' Mayflower, of 1620, was at one time an English warship. The name is one of the oldest ship names in the English navy, going back to 1415, when a vessel with that name carried some of the knights who fought in Agincourt across the channel. Her successor—the Mayflower of 1447—was the flagship of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. But the Mayflower of 1620 was an old Armada veteran long before she came across the Atlantic, and took a prominent part in that historic sea-

o be sure, but seated around the three sides of the room were the high school girls, chattering like magpies, telling the events of the day; there, too, were their older sisters who had just run down to get the air, although every one else said that—— ——had a new dress that she wanted—— ——, well, somebody's brother to see. Then there were a few young matrons who came down to meet their husbands and to walk home with them, and over by the stove was a group of boys, still true to the old New England traditions, although wholly unconscious of it. Then came the train, and the already well-filled room was packed to capacity by the business men and a few women who chanced to have been in town shopping. An expectant hush fell over the place and the names were called; even the high school girls' chatter ceased for a time, for every one knew that if there was too much noise Mr. Ellsworth would wait until it was quiet, and that made supper just so much further away. After the m
