Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1905-11-08

In the last issue OF your PAPER was the
following notice: ''Conary--At Bluehill,
Oct. 2s, vespasian Conary, aged 50 years,
9 months, Ii days"
1t is brief, but II tells the familiar tale
of the passing away Of fellow being, and
one, who sixty years ago, was a shipInate
OF the writer in the schooner Edward, OF
Bluehill, leaving the latter the only sur
vivor OF that crew. He and the writer
were then young and looking to the
future for success in life. The present
date seemed far away, but the intervening
years shave past as watch Of the night,
or as tale that is told''.
To the writer, that simple notice has
more than usual significance, and fills his
mind with thoughtful reflection. His
path in life since 1915 has widely differed
from that OF the subject of the notice, and
the two met but once in all those years,
though the writer often thought Of his
early friend and shipmate, and remembered
him as companionable person on ship
board. which time had welded into a
strong attachment now sundered.
The writer, by this and other notices
which frequently meet his eye in the
public press, knows fail well that he, too,
must soon make his last voyage, and the
following lines are e0nsoling to him in
that connection:
=" Sometime al exc when the tide Is low
shall slip ms maasinx- and sail away
with no response IT, he friendly hail
OF kibdrri craft tn the busy bay.
IN the silent hash OF the twilight psie.
When the night stoop- dowS To embrace the day
And voices call in the waters sow--
Sometime at eve when the tide ID low
shall slip my moorings aud sail away.
Through the pGrpie shadows that darsiS trsil
Ger the ebaiag life to the unEBown sea,
shall fare me away with a dip of sail.
And ripple of waters to tell the tale
OF lone voyager, sailing away
To Mystic Isles. where at anchor lay
The craft OF those W no have sailed b. fore
Der the unknown sea, 70 the unseen shore.
"a few who have watched me sail away
VIII miss nay craft from The busy bsy;
Some friendly barks that were anchored near,
Some loving ones that my heart held dear,
In silent sorrow may dror tear.
But shall have peaerfa'ly sur.-h nv sail
At mooriags sheItsr,si Jr.5m storm amt gale,
And greeted the friends who had saiir,i before
