nix December 29, with stops to
entrain passengers at Coolidge,
Chandler, Mesa, Tempe. Buckeye
and Yuma. The second excursion
will be operated about January s,

The new trains represent the

First Log of Marines

Battered and worn Is an old
day book that rests in the archives
of the Historical Society of Pen
nsylvenia, yet within its covers
are some of the most dissimilar
entries ever included In a single
volume. Its pages reveal records
of Masonic meetings, tavern bills.
hardware accounts and data COM
prising the first log of the Marines
Flames of the Revolution had
not yet begun to shoulder in 1749,
when a Quaker gentleman neatly
inscribed in the leather-bound
book the minutes of a Masonic
meeting. For m six years
thereafter accounts of similar
meetings were faithfully entered in
the ledger of Tun Tavern, formerly
a riverside hostelry near the Della
ware in old Philadelphia.
But the Masons moved to new
quarters in 1855, leaving their
ledger 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 records Of the newly
recruited sea soldiers.
Almost as legible as when they
were written the book reveals the
muster roll, pay roll and other
records OF these early American
Marines. the first Of the entries
beginning in 1776, and showing the
various sums they were paid in
pounds, shillings and pence.
Soon after 1879 the Marines
abandoned the book and the
tavern proprietor found 1t handy to
itemiZe the bar bills or MS
customers, these accounts running
up until 1886. Nearly fifty years
later a hardware merchant used
the aging tome as day book.
After serving so many purposes
the forgotten book lay in an attic
for another half-century until it
became the property Of the
Historical Society in 1891.
