The Earlv settlement of Portland.

The Early Settlement of Portland
1 see that your local historians do not settle
on any definite time at which the first SETTLE,
mant on the Neck (Portland) was made and
that is one Of the reasons that the 25oth year of
its settlement is to bs passed over without no
tice or recognition of any kind.
1t cannot be that your citizens are ashamed
of its founders No record comes down to us
to tell us aught of b. Tucker who followed the
even tenor of his ways, lived here quite num-
ber of years, and then went to Portsmouth, N.
H., where he resided many years with honors
to himself and to his posterity, seeking good
reputation rather than wealth. Supt. Tucker,
of the Maine Central r. R., can trace his
blood to that ancestry 1 have before mo a
deposition of his taken in 1862 which gives
much relative to the early settlement. His
partner was George Cloves who left no male
issue, aud one daughter, the wife Of Michael
Milton. Some of her descendants are among
the Brackets, one Of which rem DYED to Bos-
ton.
Their neighbors were for the most part fish
ermen who built small houses near the shore
where they hauled mp their boats Some times
they were engaged in getting out "pipe
staves'' which were exchanged for goods with
the supercargo of the mast ships which passed
up Fore river to Stroudwater for loads of
masts and also those that loaded at Presump-
scot Falls
At other times they aided in procuring the
masts. They exchanged their fish for goods
with the merchants and masters of vessels at
Purpooduek (Fort Preble) and Spurwink. At
times Mr. Tucker took loads of peltry, mostly
beaver skins, to the westward in his whale
boat. Very few Of their neighbors secured any
title to the land on which their dwellings
stood. Cleyes was a land grabber. He bought
or accepted the agency of the Plough patent
and gave settlers in other parts title under
that. Litigation followed but Tucker hated
contention aud moved away.
Cleves died poor and neglected. No stone
marks his grave nor any record shows where
he died Tucker died in Portsmouth about
1879 with a scanty stock of this worlds goods.
We find George Munioy of Boston, captain
of small schooner which transported mer-
chandise and traded at tho various ports in

An unpublished anecdote concerning Camp

was just then affecting the community, among
the contestants being Campana, known in
walking match circles as "Old Sport" These
two facts being placed together it sufices to
say that while the dinner was in progress, too

room and one of the officials, not wishing, and
perhaps not daring, to turn him out, introduced
him to Campanini. The "Oity Father not

TIle nnfch I'M Afcheen.

The fresh outbreak Of civil war in
Atcheen found the Dutch quite
%unprepared and all the early engage.
ments were in favor Of the native
troops. Several men.of-war have
been sent 10 the coast Of Sumatra 10
order to prevent the Atchinese from
communicating with Pulo. Penang and
Singapore; but in spite Of the precau
tons the latter managed 10 get through
and TO obtain ammunition and PROV
sions in the neighboring islands. The
success OF the native troops is said to
be in a great measure due to the
strategic ability Of deserter from the
Dutch army named Cohen,
who has cut off all com
m%unicatiOns between Oleh Leh and
kota Radja, this latter being a strong
ly fortified place and the seat Of the
government and all the ministerial
departments. The natives have even
got inside Kota Radja upon one or two
occasions, but have not been able to
hold it. Their carly successors are,
however, likely 10 give the Dutch a
great deal Of trouble, for the Atobi.
nese, like al Oriental nations, are su.
perstitious, and will believe that their
Gods are propitious and that the time
has come for the recovery Of their Lost
liberty and greatness. What makes
matters all the more serious for the
Dutch is that they have a very small
available force just now in Java and
Sumatra, and what there is consists
chiefly in raw recruits.
