As they passed down the street they called at the store of William Fcaring, Esq., took something to drink, and went into his kitchen, and took a brand of fire, and proceeded to his ship-yard immediately iu front of his house, and here set fire to a new brig, nearly finished, upon the stocks, belonging to said Fearing. He remonstrated with them, and reminded

them of their treaty, but they asserted that she was built for a privateer. He then begged them to de- sist, saying. " I am your friend." "Then," said the commanding officer, " you are an enemy to your country." The brig was burned to ashes. They fired also a ship and brig lying at the wharf and five sloops, all of which, as well as the fire at the cotton- factory, were extinguished. Six vessels were not set on fire. They next took twelve men as hostages to prevent the citizens from firing upon them, and hoist- ing a white flag, and saying if a gun was fired the hostages would be massacred. embarked, having tar- ried on shore about two hours. About this time Capt. Israel Fearing assembled twelve men on the opposite side of the Narrows and showed fight. Some of them were Revolutionary soldiers, and it required all the tact and persuasion of their captain to restrain them from firing. One of the barges dropped over that way, and one of the Narrows' citi- zens begged Capt. Fearing not to fire, as a treaty had been made and hostages taken to insure its perform- ance. whereupon he fell back to watch their further movements, kept his men assembled ; but, as the host- ages were not given up until they passed below him, he did not fire, and the enemy departed in peace, landing the hostages on Cromeset Point. The barges formed a line, fired a Congreve rocket into the air, fired a swivel from the bow of each barge, gave three cheers. and proceeded leisurely to the brig, landed Besse upon West's Island and the two young men at North Falmouth. Besse was arrested, and examined before a magistrate in New Bedford and acquitted. Miller and Buupus were examined, and committed to prison for further examination and trial, and, after being imprisoned about three months, were acquitted, and both shipped on board a privateer, where Bum- pus was killed, and Miller lost a leg by a cannon-ball. The whole damage done by the expedition was twenty- five thousand dollars.
One of the citizens of this town who resided here ou that memorable day, June 13, 1814, says, " An invasion from the enemy was the most remote thought of any of our citizens, and even the citizens of other towns were so sure that there would be no attack on Wareham that they sent their vessels here as a place of safety. The attack happened also when an unusual number of our citizens were gone from home, others were at work at a distance from their arms, and the arms themselves were the more owned and kept for military duty at the annual muster than for any actual use. Many of the men of the village were mariners, and being exempt from military duty had no arms, and the suddenness of the enemy's landing
-
after the alarm, all combined, must plead the excuse of non-resistance. Suppose it had been otherwise, that the dozen men assembled, which could not have obtained their ammunition sooner than they did, as the selectmen when they were apprised of the enemy's approach, had to travel more than a mile for it, and the minister to return three-quarters of a mile to the men, and all this within forty minutes of the first whisper of any danger. I say, suppose the twelve men had faced the enemy and fired, suppose they had killed half a dozen of the enemy, would not the return fire of two hundred well disciplined marines have killed as many as ten of our citizens and overcome all resistance at once ? To be sure, if this had so hap- pened, the transaction might have filled some ten lines of the heroic deeds of military glory, and as an offset our citizens would have had to erect a monu- ment with this inscription :
"Sacred To The Memory of
-, who died
In the defense of Wareham, June 13, 1814."
The British, on leaving, left word that they should soon return, and when they came again should burn the entire town. A militia company was soon sta- . tioned at a point below the Narrows village, trenches were dug within gunshot of the channel of the river, and it was rather hoped that the British would fulfill their word of returning. The following lists will show who served at this time, and the length of their service.

In the autumn of 1814, twelve men went from Wareham to Newport, R. I., and were there employed in the corps ealled "Sea Feneibles," where they re- ceived wages, until the peace in 1815, at the news of which the citizens of Wareham had a great sup- per and ball at the house now occupied by William H. Fearing, which was then used for a hotel. It must have been a joyous oceasion, and what they ealled in those days "a high time ;" for tradition says that, as soon as the blessing was invoked, the presiding offieer seized a turkey by the legs that lay in the platter before him, and whirling it around his head, ealled for three cheers for the gunboats. The venerable parson soon after left the seene in disgust ; but the rest of the company remained until the small · hours of the morning.
Wareham had but one man in the regular army during this war ; this was Joseph Saunders, who was one of the few men killed at the battle of New Or- leans, on the 8th of January, 1815.
War of the Rebellion. - 1861. April 27th, Voted to appropriate one thousand dollars for an emer- geney fund, to be devoted to the families of those that volunteer their serviees in their country's cause, if needed.
Voted that the seleetmen pay out of the emergeney fund, according to their own diseretion, as need may require.
Voted that this town raise a company of sixty- four men, and they be armed, equipped, and uni- formed at the expense of the town.
Voted that each volunteer, previous to leaving for the seat of war, be presented with a revolver.
Chose Lewis Kinney, Esq., as a committee to pur- ehase the revolvers and distribute them to the volun- teers.
Chose Darius Miller, Albert S. Hathaway, and Addison Alden, a committee to form a military eom- pany for a coast guard of sixty-four persons, from the age of forty-five to sixty.
Voted that men over sixty years of age be allowed to enlist in the coast guard.
Voted that the coast guard uniform and equip themselves.
1862. March 23d, The treasurer was authorized to borrow money for payment of State aid to families of volunteers.
July 26th, Voted to pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to each volunteer who enlisted in the mili- tary service for three years, when mustered in, and eredited to the quota of the town.
September 2d, Voted to pay a bounty of two hun- dred dollars to each volunteer for nine months' mili- tary serviee, when mustered in, and eredited to the town, notwithstanding any vote previously passed.
1863. Recruiting went on during this year, and State aid was continued to soldiers' families, but no especial action was taken by the town in referenee thereto.
1864. April 16th, Voted to raise by taxation one thousand dollars, to refund to individuals money eon- tributed by them to aid recruiting during 1863 and 1864 ; also to raise fifteen hundred dollars, to be ex- pended under the direction of the seleetmen to pro- eure volunteers for the military service, to fill the quota of the town, under the recent eall of the Pres- ident for more men. Recruiting was in this manner kept up until the end of the war.
The ladies of Wareham sent to the front barrels, boxes, and packages, containing hospital stores and underelothing for the soldiers, at intervals during the entire period of the war.
The town records show that Wareham furnished three hundred and twenty men for the army and .navy, and that thirty-nine died in the service, but Col. Sehouler, in his " History of Massachusetts in the Civil War," says, " Wareham furnished three hundred and fifty men for the war, which was a sur- plus of fifteen over and above all demands ;" and this is probably eorreet, as he states in another part of his valuable work that " every town in Plymouth County furnished its eontingent of men upon every eall made by the President during the war, and each had a sur- plus at the elose of the Rebellion, which in the aggre- gate amounted to five hundred and twelve men."
The whole amount of money appropriated and ex- pended by the town on account of the war, exelusive of State aid, was twenty thousand two hundred and fifty-three dollars and thirty-five eents ($20,253.31).
The amount paid by the town during the war for State aid to soldiers' families, and repaid by the eom- monwealth, was as follows: In 1861, $2658.59 ; in 1862, $10,974.51; in 1863, $9080.40 ; in 1864, $6400; in 1865, $3300. The total amount was $32,413.50.
The following is a list of soldiers and sailors froul Wareham in the war of the Rebellion :
