Introductory paragraph: “A Little Bit of Hell—Maine Style That’s What Capt. Spurling Gave a Pirate. State Gets Tokens of His Courage. from the Bangor Daily News, ca. 1919 It was just ninety-six years ago Tuesday (Jan. 21) that an event happened in the harbor of Trinidad, Cuba, which reflected great credit on the leader of a bold enterprise, recollections of which have recently been stirred in Maine, on account of the purchase by the state of a brace of pistols and a sword from Mrs. E. Preble of Framingham, Mass…..” And see Charles Liebow notes on the Cashier: - CASHIER: Masters - Samuel Spurling & William Moore, Built in Eden in 1820, 30 Gross Tons, 49.8/17.8/5.3: Two masts with a square stern.

Books, collection of four. (A) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1893 with illustrations and excellent information. (B) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1887. (C) The Island of Mount Desert Register - no date visible, but probably 1910. Book includes a chapter of history of Cranberry Isles, page 97. Many newspaper clippings from 1930s to 1960s glued to inside front book jacket and initial pages including obituaries, Cranberry Isles and Mount Desert news, shipwrecks and life savers, the firebug article etc. One black and white photo of the Mountain house before the fire. Obituary clippings include: Clara S. Alley Feb. 26, 1965; Gilbert Hadlock; Wilbert Rice; Mrs. Herbert Bell; Almenia Lurvey; Thomas M. Stanley; Charles Hulbert; Capt. William Bulger dies eleven days after his brother 1927; Mary Ann Carroll; Sim H. Mayo; Oscar Jarvis; Fred Phippen; Capt. Thomas Newman; Mrs. John Carroll; Otis Sawtelle; and Harvey Stanley; Also a handwritten list of the John Stanley, Jr. and wife Margaret family starting 1789 through 1842. Receipt from Strawbridge & Clothier for Mrs. Mabel Stanley no year. Info on Ellen Maria Spurling b. 1842 died 1929 and children. Note about Sam Chapman b. 1868 and Cora Chapman b. 1863. (Color photocopies made of articles and stored with book (C).) (D) "At Mount Desert: A Summer's Sowing" by Mildred Fairfax, copyright Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. “At Mount Desert,” by Mildred Fairfax, is in many respects a peculiarly attractive book. A defect of many stories is that they almost leave out the scenery, but it is not so in this instance. The tale itself is deeply interesting, with its young man gone astray, its good-angel sister, and its fortune lost and plotted for, but the writer is evidently in love with all the scenic effects of sea and sky and land along the rugged Maine coast, and at Mount Desert. There would be almost too much word-painting if it were not for the admirable half-tone photographic views which serve as illustrations. They become part of the narrative, and give it a realism not otherwise attainable.” (See www.ebay.com/itm/1893-At-Mount-Desert-Island-by-Mildred-Fairfax-A-Summers-Sowing-8-Plates-/322180352978).
