and provide men and means. Committees were chosen to confer with the Governor, etc. I have not been able to gather details of these meetings, but learn that there were no divi- sions ; that unusual equanimity and a common spirit of sacri- fice prevailed. When the war began, some of the fishermen thought their business ruined and their vessels worthless. Some of the faint-hearted would not fit out. The four years of the war were prosperous in every branch of the fisheries, so that every man who enlisted felt he was making a sacrifice of interest. I infer that a large proportion of the enlistments were made from patriotic devotion. Early in the war there were one hundred and fifty-six men liable to draft; of that number, thirty-two only that either did not volunteer, or were drafted. These did not all serve. In 1865, M. W. Grant, military captain, returned to the town the enrollment of two hundred and seven names, age, occupation, etc., stated. The following is substantially a copy of a "Mutual Support Club," signed by one hundred and eleven men of Truro who were liable to military draft :
We, the subscribers, each agree to pay the sum of twenty-five dollars towards a fund for furnishing three hundred dollars to such members of the Club as are drafted to the war. If the Club does not subscribe sufficient money to pay three hundred dollars to each and every member drafted, then it shall be ap- plied in proportion to the amount subscribed.
N. B. Should any member of this Club drafted not be accepted by Gov- ernment, he shall refund the money advanced, for the benefit of the Club.

THE ARMY.
JOHN A. GROSS, HENRY R. PAINE, JEREMIAH H. RICH, ISAIAH SNOW, JOHN CACY, DANIEL P. SMITH, JOHN P. GRO- ZIER, possibly others, whose names I have not been able to obtain, enlisted in the 43d Mass. Reg., as nine months' men. They served in North Carolina, and were on their way home when General Lee's army made its famous raid into Pennsyl- vania, preceding the battle of Gettysburg, when the 43d was sent to the defence of Washington. They were in the service about a year, and honorably discharged July 28, 1863. Part,

perhaps all, participated in the battles of Whitehall, Kingston, and Goldsboro.
JESSE S. PENDERGRACE enlisted November 18, 1861, in the 24th Mass. Vol. Was in the battles of Virginia, Goldsboro, N. C., Norris Island, S. C., and Bermuda Hundred. June 17, 1864, at Wyer Bottom Church, Va. ; lost right arm, part of left hand, and other wounds, by a shell. Discharged November 22, 1864, Corporal, Co. F. Mr. Pendergrace has since been a member of the Legislature ; now lives at Reading.
ELKANAH PAINE JR. enlisted November 25, 1861, in 32d Mass. for three years. Was in all the battles fought in Virginia, and in the fight at Gettysburg. Was shot once in his knapsack, had the breech of his gun shattered by a ball, and another carried away a piece of his nose. His regi- ment went in with two hundred and eighty men, came out with eighty. When the three years were expired, enlisted for the second three years, or the war, and served till the fighting was over. Sergt. Paine probably smelt more powder, and saw more fighting, than any of the Truro boys. He was undoubtedly a model soldier, and earned over and over a com- mission, but was one of those modest men who innocently believed promotion would follow faithful service.
JOSIAH R. PAINE, brother of Elkanah and Henry R., enlisted September, 1862, in the 42d Mass. This included all the sons. Went to Galveston, Tex .; taken prisoner by General Magruder; carried to Austin ; started for Vicksburg after forty days' march ; fed on ground cobs and corn and water; they reached the Red River. Here the rebels found our gunboats, and released the prisoners on parole. Paine found his way to New Orleans, and thence home.
At the call for more troops July, 1862, Samuel Knowles, H. P. Hughes, James A. Small, and Edward P. Sly volunteered to fill the Truro quota. Upon arrival at Lynnfield, Sly was rejected as being too slender for the service. The others were attached to Co. A, Mass. 33d, and ordered to the com- mand of General Seigel, in Virginia. After a few months' service, Co's. A and K were transferred to the Mass. 4Ist Infantry, with eight companies then in New York en route for

New Orleans. Upon arrival in New Orleans Knowles was taken sick, and sent home in the spring of 1863. Hughes and Small joined their regiment at Baton Rouge. They scoured the country, and secured horses enough to mount the regiment when it was organized as the 3d Mass. Cav., doing good service at the seige of Port Hudson. Then ordered to New Orleans to recruit men and horses. In March, 1864, they entered on the Bank's campaign up Red River. Were in the severe engagements at Sabine Cross Road, on the eighth of April, where they suffered badly in killed and wounded. The next forty days were made up of constant fights and skirmishes, among which were the battles of Cane River, Muddy Bayou, Pineville, Bayou Boeuf, Snaggy Point, Bayou Deglades and Yellow Bayou. During the Red River retreat the third was assigned the duty of guarding the rear. Remained in Algiers till ordered to join the nineteenth army corps in the Shenandoah Valley against Early. Were in the battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill, and at Cedar Creek, when Sheridan made his famous ride. Hughes was commissioned lieutenant after these fights, and Small was sergeant-major of the regiment from the time they first entered the valley. In the early spring of 1865 they operated against Mosby, and in general scouting duty till the surrender of Lee. Lieutenant Hughes was mustered out of the service at Falls Church, June 13, 1865, and Sergeant Major Small, on the twenty-second of May, having served thirty-four months, passing through nearly twenty battles, and many skirmishes, without a scratch.
JOSEPH R. GROSS enlisted as a private ; did garrison duty in Boston Harbor. Jeremiah Thomas Paine, 39th Reg. Mass Vol. Co. E., died in Washington, Oct. 12, 1863, aged 30 years and 27 days ; Edward Winslow, 20th Reg. Mass. Vol. Co. H., died in Washington, March 22, 1862, aged 28 years. Remains repose in the cemetery of the Congregational Church. John Brimmer, drummer boy, enlisted from Wellfleet for three years ; was shot.
JOHN WILSON, BENJAMIN K. LOMBARD, JOHN L. D. HOPKINS, JOHN C. RIDER, and ENOCH S. HAMILTON,

enlisted Dec., 1863, in the 58th Mass., Co., E. for three years. For volunteering to do hazardous service at the fight of Peters- burg, Hopkins was promoted to sergeant of Co A .; was soon after taken prisoner and carried to Salisbury, N. C., where he died Feb. 12, 1863, aged 21 years, 11 months. A handsome monument stands to his memory and valor in the Congrega- tional churchyard, Truro. John C. Rider on the long, fatigu- ing march of five days, not having become used to such service, "fell out by the way through sheer exhaustion," says his companion John Wilson. He was picked up by the guerillas and carried to Andersonville, where he died. E. S. Hamilton followed his regiment through the war; was in some of the great fights in Virginia ; had his gun shattered by a ball in hot work, but came out unharmed. Mr. Hamilton is now in the Boston Custom House.
BENJAMIN KEITH LOMBARD, an adopted son of John Atkins, belonged to Co. A. On the morning of May 5, 1864, to the Wilderness, having marched twenty-two miles, many fell out through fatigue ; of these ten were taken prisoners, and sent to Andersonville Prison. Young Lombard was among the number. He died there July II, 1864. His funeral services were held in Truro, April 23, 1865. A hymn composed by his brother, to the tune of " Break it gently to his mother." was sung by the choir.
JOHN WILSON entered the Navy December 25, 1861. Was transferred to U. S. S. Western World, where he served over two years, most of the time in blockade service with the South Atlantic blockade squadron. After receiving his dis- charge, enlisted as noticed above. Left for the front April 20, I 864. Did hard fighting in several battles. At the fight at Petersburg was taken prisoner and sent to Danville, Va., where he remained eight months. Was robbed of everything, and nearly starved. The orders were that prisoners should not look out of the windows. For unintentionally disobeying this order, a young man forfeited his life, being shot by a guard. He was a comrade of Wilson's, who watched over him till he breathed his last.

of the service. He was killed or died from sickness. ' A cer- tificate signed by Charles Green, captain U. S. Receiving Ship Ohio, now in possession of the town, states that Reuben Pearce, a citizen of Truro, aged 28, shipped July 24, 1864.

In closing this chapter, though conscious that partial justice only has been done, I am as conscious that it is not for want of effort on my part. I have felt the importance of placing in these pages a full and correct history of the action of the town and of the patriotic men who served their country and laid down their lives, knowing how difficult, if not impossible, it would be in later years. Being in another part of the country where armies met, and my own home often threatened, I knew little in particular that was going on in the North, and have been obliged to gain information at great expense of time and labor, from best seeming sources. If, therefore, important omissions occur, and errors have crept in, it must be under- stood we have aimed to render a faithful record, and have not been insensible to our trust or to the noble service ren- dered by those who filled the ranks of the Army and Navy from the old town in the great War of the Rebellion.

O fleet that silent tarries Along our listening land, No night to come dismays thee, No bar and tempest strand.
O sails that seek no shelter, That need no beacon-light; In vain our harbors open, In vain our hearts invite 1
O watchers, all ye look for Will come, or soon or late ; They cannot always tarry, Ye cannot always wait.
For this work-By Hiram Rich.
A STATEMENT was made in a late English paper, that among the bodies recovered from the wreck of the ill- fated ship Northfleet, at Lydd, near Dungenass, was a beautiful child. The parish constable answered the undertaker for the
433

name. The stern man, used to hard sights, looked at the fair dead child, and with tearful eyes and trembling voice said, " God knows." " So let the name be," said the undertaker. They buried the child with tender care, placing at the grave a stone with only this inscription :
GOD KNOWS.
Of that unnumbered company from this town who have made their graves in ocean depths, or in distant lands, with- out stone, or cross, or sign, scattered world-wide, and that cannot be gathered by mortal hands, it is a consoling thought that God knows, and they are in his keeping.
It matters little to the dead of whom we write, whether they lay down in the calm hush of home, with loving hands to administer, and loving hearts to mourn, or were hurried with the crushing wreck, unshrouded and uncoffined. But to the living there is left a painful unrest, a tempest that never calms, a storm that never sleeps. A thousand recollections disturb, and a thousand hopes and fears float on till the last day of life. In the fresh glow of youth, in the strength of sturdy manhood, they sailed away from home, but never returned.
Day after day, year after year, And yet she does not come ; And though they watch and pray and weep, All useless is the watch they keep, The ship will not come home.
When marble shafts and stately hatchments crumble to dust, we trust the names here gathered by persevering toil may be cherished and held in grateful remembrance. The value of such a connection will appear when we know there are thousands of people who have searched all their lives, and perhaps spent thousands of dollars, to find the name and fate of some ancestor, the missing link between past generations. The first hundred years of the history of Truro, closing with the eighteenth century, was a long, perilous night. Hun-

dreds perished by sea, and in foreign lands, in the army and navy, in hospitals and prison-ships, whose names can never be gathered.
When the record comes to us " lost at sea," we shall men- tion the name only. With the exception of what may have been gathered from old gravestones, or of incidental cases, we know little of the casualties incident to the sea, till contem- porary with Mr. Damon's Register, about the close of the Revolutionary War, when information is collected from other sources.
The loss of young husbands and fathers, so often mentioned, is the beginning of many sad histories. Devoted husbands leave their young children and wives, to whom life was all sunshine and promise, never to return. Another life, such as cannot be written, now unfolds. Weeks or months of intensi- fied agony intervene, in which the lone wife surveys her life- work, counts the cost, and accepts the situation. Calmly and cheerfully, armed in triple steel with a new life, she comes forth, and bravely enters upon her mission. She has no more time to weep or mourn ; broken heart and blighted hopes are left in the crucial. Henceforth duty is her star. Has God hedged her in? Nay, verily. She has now become a co-worker with God, and through this painful experience, or providence, these children may bless the world. These mothers are heroines. They deserve tablets and monuments ; but in all our humble churchyards their unmarked, lowly graves are found.
It is an interesting fact that the first names here recorded were found in the diary of Deacon Moses Paine, now in posses- sion of Josiah Paine Esq., of Harwich, without which appar- ently trifling duty of a thoughtful boy, we should have had no knowledge of this event. "November ye 29, 1716, this day Captain Joshua Doane, Thomas Pitty, George Vickery, William Shustan, Joseph Sweat (Sweet) and Sam Charles, (an Indian) were drowned in going from Eastham Harbor to Billinsgate."
Josiah, b. 1731 ; Micah, b. 1726, sons of Micah Gross, were among the first lost at sea of which there is any knowledge.
