There is a point on the Connecticut
coast extending into Long Island
sound called Sachem's Head. the name
probably having been derived from
some connection an Indian chief for
merly had with the place. The shore
is divided between rocks and beaches,
backed by part low and part high or
rather rolling ground On the east
side of the head, not far from the
point, In the year 1900 stood the
house of farmer, John Cromwell.
One autumn day Cromwell was sit
ting on his porch smoking his pipe
when he discovered out on the sound
a boat being rowed toward the shore.
Today that region is full of boats Of
all kinds, but then they We're q rarity.
The farmer watched the oars alter
nately disappear and fash in the sun
light till the boat entered the little
cove before his house and ran its nose
up on the beach. Then a man jump
ed out, pulled it farther up and adj
yanced toward Cromwell.
The stranger was young and comely.
but rather singularly dressed. His
hat was big and pointed in the crown,
his coat was short and fiaring below,
his breeches and his shoes were orna-
mented with large silver buckles, his
hose were a dark red, while his waist
was encircled by wide belt clasped
with a wider buckle than either OF
the other two, and in it were several
pistols of an eighteenth century pat
tern. In short, his appearance smack
ed of piracy.
"Have struck Sachem's HeadY'
asked the young man.
THAT'S what they call it," replied
the farmer
The young man looked about him as
if trying to get his bearings. Present
ly he spoke again:

with you awhile, would you? I can
