ShamrOcks at IslesborO.
Brought There in 1S47 When the Pine
Tree State Sent Food to Ireland.
Bangor Commercial ]


A St. Patrick's day story that recalls
the generosity Of the people of Maine to
famine stricken Ireland over 65 wears
ago, and brings to light the fact that
each spring real Irish shamrocks come to
life on Irish sod in the State of Maine.
was told recently by John F. Crowley, a
Bangor merchant and summer resident
of 1slesboro.
Just as this year, even this month, the
State of Maine is sending a mercy ship
laden with food to the stricken people of
Belgium, so in the year 1847, when Ire
land was laid low with the potato famine,
Maine assisted in the relief of Erin by
sending many shiploads of grain and
other food to every Irish port.
The Pendletons of Isesboro, whose
name is still a powerful factor in the
American merchant marine, were one of
the sea-faling families who sent vessels
to Ireland In the famine year 1847, laden
with the food that saved the lives lof
thousands of Irish. Their ships sailed
from Boston and other ports, carrying
away with them thousands of bushels Of
life giving grain.
Arriving in Ireland there was not the
slightest difficulty in getting the ship I'M
loaded, but to get return cargo was not
so easy, for then, as now, England con-
trolled the mercantile trade of the Brit
ish Isles and other parts of the world,
and was not anxious to provide American
ships with profitable cargoes.
1t devolved then, upon the captain of
the Pendleton clipper to provide himself
with ballast. Sand was not abundant
there, and as the next best expedient,
Irish sod, was shovelled from the fields.
Enough of this was secured to make a
good ballast and then the return trip was
made.
On arrival at the home port of the
Maine ship, Islesboro, the ballast was
deposited on the farms owned by resi-
dents named Coombs and Redmond.
There it was left, and nothing further
thought about it for years.
Some time ago naturalist noticed the
three-leaved green plants on this plot of
land, and it was not long before he de-
clared them to be real Irish shamrocks,
a discovery that was further authenti-
Gated by explaining the origin of the sod
placed there.
Later, the land came into the possess
sion of Mrs. Moses Hastings of Bangor,
who, realizing the sentiment connected
with the growing of the shamrocks, has
carefully nurtured their growth. The
plot has been partly fenced in and the
spot is pointed out to sightseers at this
exclusive summer resort as living me-
mento of the humane part played by
Maine in the Irish famine of 1847. The
shamrocks growing on Names soil are
the emblems of Ireland's eternal thanks
to the Pine Tree State for ahelping hand
in time of deepest need.
Other ships that took food from Maine
to Ireland also returned with passengers,
and during that year, and the subsequent
years, thousands of Irish immigrants
these sons of Erin have not been the
least of those who helped swell the stores
of food sent from the State in the Name
relief ship to starving Belgium. The
debt is being paid in part.

A RECOUNT IN ROCKLAND.

RoCKLAND, Me-, March 16. An in
spection today of the vote cast in Ward

both parties agreed that an official re-
count would show that Lucius H. Dun
can, DEM, had been elected Alderman
in place of Herbert w. Keep, Rep, who
has already taken his seat; also that a
new election for two members of the
council ticket would be necessary on &C.
count of a tie. The discrepancy between
the vote for Mayor and vote for mem.
bers of the council attracted much atten-
ton on election night, but the miscount
did not become known until today. The
reversal of the result would still leave
the Republicans with majority of TWO

A shipmasters' union has been formed

The 4-masted schooner Fannie C. Bow
en- has been offered 81 cents a tie to load
railroad ties at Jacksonville for New
York. The rates less than two months
ago were ID cents.
Twenty-six Canadian Upper Lakes
freight steamers, all of the ocean-going
type, have been chartered to carry coal
from Canada to West Indies and South.
Under the terms of the agreement it is
understood that all the steamers will be
returned to their respective companies
in sufficient time to engage in the grain
movement from Upper Lake ports next
fall.

pupils who reside in the northern half of the

lent billiards.

ediices are not to be there. l fear the divis.
ion of funds and interest by the new memoir

and reputation. I hope plans and action may

immortalized in the Lena PIERCE High School.
VIII,
Roxbury, Mass, March Is, 1915.
Our correspondent is wrong as to the situa-
ton. and as there may be others who do not
understand the conditions brief explanation
seems called for. The PIERCE Memorial build.
ing. to be erected on the Academy lot, is not
for the High school but for the South Prim-
airy schools, The bequest was not sufficient
for High school building and it was not
deemed advisable to incorporate it with other
funds. AS to the location of new building
for the High and Grammar schools we believe
that the sentiment is practically unanimou
that it should have spacious grounds and that
the present school common should be kept as
park. The schools could thus occupy the
present buildings until the new building was
completed, when they could be removed and
the grounds graded and beautified.
