because of his red hair and thin red
side whiskers, was one of Trumet's
characters" and in his case the
character was weak. He was born in
the village and, when a yougster, had,
like every other boy of good family
in the community, cherished ambitions

Boston, stalked aboard the vessel
where he had shipped, and collared
him, literally and hguratively. One
of the mates venturing to offer objec-

gave him a piece of her mind, to the
immense delight of the crew and the
