into the country for safety. 50 frightened
were the residents that it was half an hour
before anybody could be coaxed down to
the wharf and truthful men say that many
of the refugees ran to Newburg and Dix
mont before they looked back. In 1893
Seth Baisdell returned to his home in
Wlnterport from a bear hunt in the Rocky
mountains, reporting that one day he was
creeping up a canon in Colorado when a
very old man, clothed mostly in long
white hair and whiskers, dashed by him
and began to climb the hills.

Seth.

''Where did you see him?" questioned
Seth with a view to getting shot at big
game,
He was coming up the river below
Frankfort, Name replied the old man
as he vanished among the lodges.
Seth is not sure, but lie believes this
man was one of those who were scared by
the Bangor in 1880, and thinks he is still
running.
Steadily on with shrek of whistle and
roal of paddles the Bangor swept past
Orlington, Hampden and Brewer, and as
she came the people heard her with fear,
and hearing, fled, stopping not on the
manner OF their going, but fleeing like
deer before the hounds. Three women
were coming down the river road from
Bangor to Brewer village, and when they
beheld the modern leviathan unable to
run for fear, they hid behind a tall fence
until danger was over. Willis Patten, an
aged resident of South Brewer, SAYS that
everybody came out to look at the new
boat. and she made such slow progress
that several hours We're consumed from
the time she hove in sight below High
Head until she arrived in Bangor
OF course the people of Bangor all turn
ed out, first for fear and later from curios-
lty. and while the steamer lay at her pier
she received more attention and caused
more wondering comment than the Cam
panla would if she were to come up the
river now. At last, after years of waiting,
Bangor had found an outlet to the big
world beyond the shadow of Mt katah-
din, and rapid steamboat would carry
travellers to Boston in three days, if they

did move.
Thus, racing with drift wood and buoys,
preceded by pillar of fire by night and
pillar of cloud by day, the Bangor went
and came; in a few weeks Capt Samuel
Howes took command and then a few
years later the cid Independence came on
the line; but none Of her successors ever
made ST. much talk among Down casters
as did the Bangor when she first came up
the Penobscot.
Meanwhile Stephen Danforth lay hidden
among the black spruces Of Orphans Is
land until the last echo from the Bangor's
whistle died out beyond Frankfort Then,
lodging through the bushes, so no one
could notice his lack of clothing, he ar
rived on the shore to find his garments
submerged by the swelling tide and to
pull out a twelve pound salmon from each
