Description

Excerpt from Brave Deeds of American Sailors The news Of the attack on the men at Lexington had run like a fire through the countryside. The patriots had gathered about Concord and met the redcoats with a hail of bullets. The redcoats had turned back to Boston, unable to destroy most Of the stores, which had been buried or hidden. They had been beset all the way by the farmers and townspeople, firing on them from behind walls and trees. The redcoats, on the run, with their tongues hanging out Of their mouths, had been saved from destruction or surrender at last only by the timely arrival of reinforcements from Boston. All this they told the men of Machias, over and over again, adding many details to each repetition to freshen the story. The little town Of Machias had not been greatly disturbed by British rule. They were far from the center Of things, and not in any way important/ Only one thing had they suffered at the hands of King George. All the tallest and straightest pines in their forests had been set apart for the use Of the English navy; no woodman could lay axe to them without incurring the royal displeasure and punish ment. Even now there were two British sloops in the harbor, under the protection Of a British armed schooner, the Margaretta, loading lumber to be made into barracks for the redcoats in Boston.
