First Log of Marines.

Battered and worn is an old day
book that rests in the archives of
the Historical Society of Pennsyl-
vania, yet within its covers are
some of the most dissimilar entries
ever included in single volume.
Its pages reveal records of Ma
sonic meetings, tavern bills, hard
ware accounts and data comprising
the first log of the marines.
Flames of the Revolution had not
yet begun to shoulder in 1749,
when Quaker gentleman neatly
inscribed in the leather-bound book
the minutes of Masonic meeting.
For some six years thereafter ac-
counts of similar meetings were
faithfully entered in the ledger of
Tun Tavern, formerly riverside
hostelry near the Delaware in old
Philadelphia.
But the Masons moved to new
quarters in 1855, leaving their led
ger behind. A score of years later
when the Marines were drumming
up recruits for the new Continental
Navy, they made their rendezvous
at the tavern, and the book was
used to jot down the names and rec
ords of the newly recruited sea
soldiers.
Almost as legible as when they
were written the book reveals the
muster roll, pay roll and other rec
ords of these early American Ma
rines, the first of the entries begin
ming in 1776, and showing the vari-
GUS sums they were paid in pounds,
shillings and pence.
Soon after 1779 the Marines aban-
doned the book and the tavern
proprietor found it handy to itemize
the bar bills of his customers, these
accounts running UP until 1885.
Nearly SO years later hardware
