Capt. A. T. Whittier returned home Saturday
from New York, having retired from the COM
mand of the ship Aryan, the last wooden ship
built in the United States and the last active
commander of full-rigged ship hailing from
Searsport, which has furnished in the past
seventy-six years one hundred and fifty COM
manders of ll-rigged ships. In the year 1885
thirty of her captains were in command of
full-rigged ships which was one tenth of all of
the full rugged ships, sailing under the Ameri-
can flag. Is there any other seaport town in
the United States that can equal this record?
The first Searsport ship-master was Capt. Jere-
mah Sweetser ST., who had the ship Henry
Leeds of 379 tons built for him at Prospect
Marsh in 1884. The full-rigged ship is becom-
ing a thing of the past.
A report of the church fete and sale lastweek
in aid of the Second Congregational church
will be found on the 9Th page. Mrs. E. C.
Pike and members of the society wish to extend
their thanks to all who responded so generously
in money and gifts, both for the remember
ance table and to the general fund The enter
tainment proved the browning feature of the
day, as was shown by the keen attention which
the audience gave as each part was SO well rem
dered. The violin solos by the two young boys.
Stanley Cayting, and Clifton Havener, most
certainly proved that violinists are born, not
made. Miss Anne Kittredge delighted her
hearers with her juvenile readings, and re-
sponded most amiably to repeated encores.
But for the uncomfortable laughter of certain
"eder," which compelled the reader herself to
retire in laughter, the audience would have
heard more about when grandpa was boy"
The following morning the ladies who came to
help put the home in its usual neat order
were well repaid for their work by hearing
several more of Miss Kittredge's selections,
and all started homeward with good hearty
laugh and hoping to have her with them at
their fair next year.
