at the age of thirty-five was thought by many to be wealthy. He removed to Boston, and there meeting with adverse fortune, he commenced to go to sea once more. He was taken by the Confederate cruisers, his vessel burnt, and he carried to Richmond, everything taken from him, even his watch, and left to get home the best way he could. Reference to his family record in the genealogy of families.
Capt. Mark Pendleton's four sons are among the most enterprising of the Islesborough families, owning largely in navigation. They have become wealthy, and take a great interest in town affairs.
CAPT. JOSEPH W. COLLINS.
Capt. Joseph W. Collins was born in Islesborough, August 8, 1839. His boyhood days were spent as a fisher lad, going boat-fishing with his grandfather before he was nine years old. His tenth birthday was spent at sea on board a fishing schooner. In 1862, when only twenty- three years old, young Collins was appointed to the command of a fishing vessel, and has since commanded some of the finest schooners engaged in the fishing business from Gloucester, Mass., most of the time being at sea the whole of each year.
I11 1879 he became connected with the United States Fish Commission, and entered upon the work of making a statistical inquiry into the fisheries of New England, for the tenth census, under the direction of Prof. G. Brown Goode. In the spring of 1880 he was appointed on the staff of the United States Commissioner to the Interna- tional Fischerei Austellung, at Berlin, and accompanied the commissioner to that city. After returning from Eu- rope Capt. Collins resumed the inquiry he had previously
128
HISTORY OF ISLESBOROUGH.
been engaged upon, but in December, 1880, he was or- dered to Washington, where he took up the work of pre- paring reports relating to the fisheries of the country, which were published in the Fisheries and Fishery Indus- tries of the United States, issued by the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries. He rapidly attained distinction as a writer in this line, and also exhibited great facility in preparing illustrations of fishing crafts and fish- ing scenes, with the details of which he was thoroughly familiar.
In 1883 he was one of the staff sent by the United States to represent this country and inake a display of its fisheries and fishery resources at the great International Fisheries Exposition held at London in that year ; and it is largely due to his superior knowledge and familiarity with the fisheries of this country that the United States succeeded in obtaining such a large number of the prizes awarded at the exposition. Capt. Collins' intimate knowl- edge of the fisheries and their needs has given him many opportunities for offering suggestions for their improve- ment. He conceived the idea while abroad of a new de- sign for vessels, and agitated the matter thoroughly in the press of New England, where it was given wide circula- tion in 1886. He was given the opportunity by Professor Spencer F. Baird, then United States Commissioner of Fisheries, to put his ideas to practical use, which resulted in the schooner Grampus, of the Commission, which was the pioneer of the new type. He has made many cruises of investigation in the vessels of the Fish Commission. For two years-from 1886 to 1888-lie was in command of the schooner Grampus.
I11 1888 he was appointed in charge of the division of fisheries of the United States Fish Commission, and has since had charge of the work. In the same year he was appointed as representative of the Fish Commission to

prepare its exhibits at the Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States, held at Cincinnati. In 1884 Capt. Collins organized the section of Naval Archi- tecture in the United States National Museum, under the direction of Prof. G. Brown Goode, and since that date has been Honorary Curator of this interesting collection.
In 1890 he was nominated by the United States Com- inissioner of Fish and Fisheries, Hon. Marshall McDon- ald, to represent that bureau on the Government Board of Management and Control at the World's Columbian Exposition, and was duly appointed to the position by President Harrison. Undoubtedly Captain Collins is the best informed man regarding fishery expositions and their conduct to be found in the country.
GAMALIEL PENDLETON.
Gamaliel Pendleton died at his home, July 12, 1892, aged sixty-nine years and eleven months, on the same farm where he was born. In his younger days he followed the sea. The latter part of his life he was engaged in agri- culture. The upright character given him by his neigh- bors was never contradicted, as he had no enemies. He had not only the esteem but the kindness of all who knew him. His family were present in his last sickness, and doing every thing for him that could be done, which was a consolation to him. In his business affairs his word was as good as his bond, and his promise to pay would not be outlawed as long as he lived.
"Time, place and action may with pains be wrought,
But Genius must be born, and never can be taught."
Dryden.
STEPHEN PENDLETON.
Stephen Pendleton, in 1781, when hardly nineteen years old, was taken by a number of British partisans and

made to go as pilot to the dwelling of Mr. Soule, a wealthy man and a staunch friend of liberty, in Waldoborough. They entered the house, seized and bound him, and told Pendleton he might have his choice, either to help plunder the house or guard Soule. Not liking the idea of plunder he chose the latter. They proceeded to ransack the house and were about to break open the desk, when Soule, un- willing to lose his treasure, made such exertions to free himself in defiance of Pendleton's threats to shoot him, that he was on the point of succeeding. Pendleton, trembling for the safety of himself, fired and shot him, severely wounding his wife at the same time. This raised an aların, and the marauders were glad to escape to the woods, conceal themselves as they could by day and travel by night, subsisting on the bark of trees, till by a cir- cuitous route back of the mountains they reached Penobscot and returned to Biguyduce. Pendleton after the war lived in New Brunswick .* He came back to Isles- borough, and in after life became respected. t
Others equally deserving might be made mention of did our limits permit-sea captains, farmers and traders who have contributed so much to the business of the place. The reader is referred to the genealogical table of the fami- lies. I have tried to make the work thorough and ex- haustive, until new facts are brought to light should be regarded as corroborating the conclusion to which I have arrived.

CHAPTER VII.
PACKETS AND BOATS.
THE insular situation of Islesborough, the communica- tion between the island and the main land, has quite a history. The first settlers had small boats. The inhab- itants in pleasant weather would cross the bay when it be- came necessary, generally three or four going together, to get their stores, or after a doctor. The main supplies were brought in their coasting vessels, and their produce was shipped by these vessels to Boston. After the mail route was established between Lincolnville and Islesbor- ough, there was a regular communication every Thursday fromn Gilkey's Harbor, by the mail boat. Capt. Thomas Gilkey built an open boat, which was called the Dove. He found employment for her, carrying cattle to and from the island, and she was used for that purpose for a good many years. In the fall of the year she would carry the grist to Camden to be ground. At the upper end of the town they owned several sinall vessels, which, after they had done fishing in the fall, they would use for packets to go to Castine, say twice a month in the winter, with occa- sionally a trip to Belfast. They finally altered the mail route to Northport, and had a mail twice a week, discon- tinuing the lower post office and establishing the upper, near Seal Harbor. About this time Mr. Keller bought the old Castine packet Superior, and would go to Belfast for freight and passengers ; but had no regular days, and only went when there was enough to go to make it an ob- ject. Not until 1859 was a regular packet line established

from Islesborough to Belfast. . The yacht Water Sprite made regular trips, leaving Islesborough for Belfast Mon- day, returning same night, over Tuesday, back Wednes- day, over and back Thursday, over Friday, back Satur- day. Using her for two years, she was found to be too small for the route, and the Planet was bought, the busi- ness increasing, and the route being a paying one.
The first packet master of the Planet was J. P. Farrow. Next was Thomas Merrithew, next W. P. Sprague, who finally sold to Capt. Wilson Coombs, who altered her over into a steamboat. The schooner Nora was built in Isles- borough. She ran to Camden, with occasionally a trip to Belfast. The Spy and Nautilus were also Camden packets.
STEAMBOATS.
About the year 1847 a steamboat wharf was built at the head of the island. The steamer T. F. Secor, Capt. Thomas B. Sanford, on her route from Belfast to Ells- worth, made a landing for several seasons. She com- menced running in 1846.
In 1850 the steamer Lawrence made her landings, tak- ing the place of the T. F. Secor. She called here for sev- eral seasons.
In 1871 the Argo, a side-wheel boat, stopped here on her way to Ellsworth and Belfast each way.
In 1874 the steamer Pioneer ran to Castine and Isles- borough, making a landing at Sabbath-Day Harbor.
The next boat was the steamer May Field, Capt. Sam- uel H. Barbour, who ran her one winter, until the May Queen was put on. The May Queen was built in Belfast for Capt. Gilmore, expressly for the Belfast and Castine route.
The steamer Planet was an opposition boat against the May Queen one season. Botlı boats were sold and taken off the route. Captain Barbour built a boat at Bangor named the Florence, and put her on the Belfast and Cas- tine route, in charge of Capt. Decker. She ran for more
I33
HISTORY OF ISLESBOROUGH.
than four years. Then she was sold, and was followed by the Electa. She continues on the route, and runs daily, carrying the mail, and has given universal satisfaction.
Steamers Hurricane and Mabel Bird ran a short time, while the regular boats were repairing.
In 1890-'91 steamer Emmeline ran a season from Castine to Rockland, stopping at Islesborough each way.
BANGOR & BAR HARBOR STEAMSHIP CO.
In 1875 Capt. Samuel H. Barbour built the May Field, and ran from Bangor to Bar Harbor. Stopped at Ryder's Cove each way. The boats that belonged to this line were the Bangor, Queen City, Cimbria, Henry Morrison and Sedgwick. They make a landing at Ryder's Cove and Hewes' Point daily. The Bangor and Queen City have been sold.
Steamer Castine, from Belfast to Oceanville, leaves Bel- fast at 10 A. M., for Islesborough, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
In 1891 a wharf was built at Dark Harbor. Steamer City of Richmond, from Portland for Machias, stops each way.
An excursion boat leaves Bangor Saturday, at 3 P. M., for Ryder's Cove and Hewes' Point, returning back Mon- day, through the summer season.

Islesborouglı has a future before it as a great summer resort, offering many attractions to the pleasure tourist. The opportunities for bathing, sailing, rowing, fishing and driving are not excelled on the seashore in Maine. Beautiful walks, level roads, variety of scene, and a place for rest and vacation for the old and young. The aged who seek rest and the young who seek exercise can spend a vacation here with pleasure, and can find accommodations suited to their tastes and means. There can be obtained an abundant supply of pure water, and the danger from contagious disease and destructive fevers is obviated. A

board of health looks carefully to the sanitary conditions, and cleanliness is not only enjoined but enforced.
As there is no back country, no poison arising from animal or decayed matter can exist. Competent phy- sicians are in attendance at the hotels through the season. Invalids visiting Islesborough can have the best attendance the country affords. Good livery stables are connected with the hotels. The drives are only to be seen to be appreciated. In the township are tracts of woodland, and groves of large spruce, beech, maple, birch, ash and cedar. There is direct communication by steamboat from the island to and from Rockland, Mt. Desert, Castine, Belfast, and other points.
The Islesborough Inn is open from the last of June until September, in charge of a thoroughly competent manager. In addition to its large number of rooms, there are music rooms, containing a stage for private theatricals, billiard rooms, etc. It is one of the best appointed hotels on the coast of Maine.
