was raised and only q few wards away
formerly stood the historic Bruce house
The many other features of interest
connected with the spot makes it es-
pecldlIy ntting that a marker should be
placed there. The second marker will
be placed on the large willow tree
growing by the side of the brook on the
Mdchiasport road, that has come to be
known as 1.-The Rubicon of Machias. y
At the place the patriots of Machias
had gathered to plan for the capture of
the MarSaretta. After the question
had been thoroughly discussed the
leddms spirit of the party sprang
across the BROOK and invited all those
who With him, favored attacking the
hated war ship to follow. The other
members did follow and the declaration
of war there made resulted in the first
naval battle OF the Revolutionary war
the Margaretta battle, which
occurred in Machias bay on June L.,
1l15. -AS the marker is to be placed on
a tree near the spot where this incident
occurred it is proposed to place a small
flagstaff on the exact spot. The time
selected FOR placing the markers in
position is August II, Tuesday of Old
Home Week. The exercises will pro-
badly be held in the square in front of
Libby hall and an appropriate program
| for the occasion will be prepared and
will include the singing of patriotic
songs and short address.
