distance of a mile and hail. and in winter
he nearly drowned by breaking through the
ice. One of the favorte amusenents of himself
and his companions. however, was to go to
wharfs when the vessels from the West Indies had
unloaded cargo Of molasses insert sticks into the
bungholes Of the casks and then suck the molasses
of the sticks. They would swim from wharf
70 another, and If any tried to catch them all
they had to 90 was to plunge into the water.
But these good times didn't last very long. for
when he was nine years old. and not much bigger
than last. he apprenticed 10 a shoemaker.
for his mother feared that her health would give
way and she would not be able to support her chill
dren. OF course. it was TOO hard for him. The
lapstone very heavy. and his fingers soon
shoe before he gave 1t up.
The shoe manufacturer for whom the family
worked moved TO Baltimore, and the Garrl-
sons followed him but LLOYD got homesick that
his mother sent him back 70 good Deacon Bartlett.
The deacon sent him TO school for three months.
and that almost all the schooling he ever had.
Again he tried to learn trade This time it was
cabinet making. in Haverhill. Mass. But again he
got honlesick and went hack TO the Bartletts. At
thirteen he entered office Of The Newburyport
Herald" learn printing. and here at last he found
something he enjoyed doing. He made rapid prog
ress and began to be interested in books He had
never cared for them before. But he read
and studied so hard that by the time ne was six
teen he was writing things for the paper. No
doubt they were not very valuable contributions,
but Lloyd was very proud of them and so was his
mother
The next step taken when he was about twenty,
was to start a newspaper Of his own. He failed.
and that very quickly, because the editor always
said what he thought about things. and didn't
bother about not offending any one. But the fail
ure didn't prevent his starting another and still
another until in 1881 he started The Liberator,"
