On June 9 the Watchman said: We are sorry to state that Mr. Force, late of Boston, after publishing a few succeeding weeks of the [Liberia] Herald, has deceased. Mr. Sessions is also dead. Dr. Peaco is sick, but Mr. Ashmun and the colonists generally are in good health. The issue of June 16 contains a half column letter of Rev. Lott Cary, telling that the expedition from Boston has suffered more loss than that from Norfolk, and expressed gratitude for the recovery of Rev. Mr. Holton, whose sickness had been alarming, but that he preached last Sunday and hoped to tomorrow, adding what gives a clue to his work: I trust we shall be able to get along well. Bro.

As we think of it, remember the colonists were free people of colour, going back to African soil to establish homes, a colony, eventually a nation, on this earth. Remember how Lydia Maria Francis' appeal for those Americans called Africans ostracized her here around Boston. Remember the scenes about the court house and down State street. Compare, if you will, the Mayflower of 1620 and its pilgrim colony, and try and picture the crew of the Vine with those white men, Sessions, Holton, and printer Force, with thirty-six dusky colonists, of whom was the regularly organized church, with the generous Boston outfit stowed beneath the one deck of the new and seaworthy brig Vine. Think of their thirty-four-day voyage across the Atlantic, which a year and a century later was to be crossed by air line in thirty-four hours. You may find some similarities, and yet something more, in this story of a hundred years agone.

Next, our curiosity was aroused as to the vessel called Vine, and if she was a Medford ship. The courteous customs officers furnished us her registration as of Boston and Charlestown, June 24, 1825. Tobias Lord of Boston in State of Massachusetts having taken or subscribed the oath required and having sworn that he is the only owner of the ship or vessel called the Vine of Boston, whereof Barnabas Mann is at present Master, and a citizen of the United States as he hath sworn, and that the said ship or vessel was built at Kennebunk in the State of Maine in the year eighteen hundred and twenty-five as appears by Register No. 1, issued at Kennebunk June 18, 1825, now cancelled, property the same.
