ship. l reckoned we'd have got 1883
damage IL we'd stayed outside too:
I'm telling you that a schooner as good
as the Massasoit will walk up to one
OF them rollers and LOOK at IL JUS us

that must make the hcave nltogcth-

on him. There's been times If man
would say. Here's 100000. Go set
on that stick he could keep his money.
So 1t was our bowsprit that went. AMI
not much of a gale o wind either.
That amt snyn' what 1t was outside.
mind you l wasn't there. But
know what IL gets like. I've seen the
weather that wicked you could see the
wind Wot / mean, IL thcy's substance
to the wind you could see 1t act. No,
| don't mean pickin' up water to
throw; l mean actual SEEM the air
move"
Indeed the bowsprit Is trouble
maker even In mort when schooners
are rr,Idc fast to n Gloucester wharf.
In that same sunday gale the Anne
and Jennie was presumably safe and
snug in such a berth and Capt. Joseph
Cooney was enioylng the holiday at
home and nursing n cold, The east
wind and the tide got at their pranks
with the vessel. which had been left
without a Waterman. Tide hoisted her
TO a dizzy elevation beside the wharf
and east wind swung her round till the
bobstay hooked over the piling. When
tho tide fell the schooner had her front
tooth pulled in the old-fashioned way
with tho string and brickbat The first
cant Coonev knew of il he learned
through tho morning paper. which
listed among other losses nv sen. that
tho schooner Annie and Jennie was
