In 1865 ship Union was constructed by E. Norris and Company, of Damariscotta, and she and ship D. W. Chapman were Captain Miller's last commands. In the Union Grace and her mother made a voyage to Liver- pool, thence to New Orleans. Although the Captain had a number of nar- row escapes, he never was shipwrecked. While an officer on ship Pleiades a mutiny occurred, culminating in a mêlée at the mouth of the Mississippi. One of the officers was injured severely. Captain Fullerton held them at bay with a revolver until fourteen were ironed by the officers. They were turned over to police. Before taking charge of the Union, Austin had the Pleiades for a time.
About 1876 Captain Miller retired from sea and lived at his home in Damariscotta. He often visited friends at Boothbay, where his daughter, Mrs. Grace M. Hussey, now (1938) lives at the Harbor.
MILLER, AURANUS M. (1833-1890). A brother of the preceding shipmaster, Auranus followed the sea from the age of eleven and rose to command ships in foreign trade. One was bark White Cloud. Having acquired a com-

petency in 1854, he married Esther A. Kennedy of Boothbay. Two years later they sailed for Spain in bark Esther or Estelle, built for his command. · After visiting Cadiz and Seville, she wrote from Malaga:
I am in hopes to be with you the first of December. Husband has twenty more lay days. We may go to Gibralter. I hope we shall, for as long as I have crossed the ocean I want to see as many places as I can. I love the scenery of Spain and the climate is so mild that were it not for my dear friends I could stay here. I almost dread coming on to our coast, it will be so awful cold, but we shall have to make the best of it. A schooner sails for the States to-morrow and I thought it a good chance to send a few lines to you and mother.
As the bark neared Gibralter a brush with picaroons enlivened the mo- notony of the sea.
Late in 1860 Abner Stetson launched a ship on the Damariscotta, on which Auranus shipped for a time as first officer under Captain Childs of Bristol. Four year later Captain Miller commanded the British brig Sarah Lawson. For a decade after the Civil War he sailed for Yates, Porterfield and Company in the coast of Africa trade, and on one voyage carried out the first missionaries to Liberia, landing them at Harper. With a wide ac- quaintance in shipping circles and an intimate knowledge of the Gold Coast acquired in numerous voyages thither, the Captain obtained an appoint- ment as American consular agent at Harper, port of entry on Cape Palmas. The climate was often fatal to white men, and he died and was buried with Masonic honors in that far-off country.
Of his family Mrs. Miller (1832-1905) died in Massachusetts, where his daughter Winnifred, born 1865, lives a century after the Captain's birth. There was a son also, Ralph William (1860-1926).
NICKELS-OTIS. During the period of French spoliations Bristol suffered losses comparable with those of other coastwise towns. A case in point was the seizure of brig Dolphin (N'castle), owned in thirds by David Otis, of Bristol and Alna, and William and Samuel Nickels. Engaged in Wisc .- W. I. trade in 1798, under command of Samuel Miller, the brig was captured by the French privateer Emanuel, of Basse-Terre, 'to which port the brig was taken, her papers taken away and the vessel condemned . . . thereby subjecting ... the owners to great loss and damage.' The average value of hull, spars and outfit, of a brig of 135 tons, was set at $8370.
POOLE, SAMUEL G. (a. 1841; d. in G'ter, 1921). A native of South Bristol, for several years he was a Grand and Georges Banks fisherman. In 1867

Samuel had the Herman E. Poole constructed at S. Bristol; but after one season the schooner broke loose from her moorings in G'ter harbor, struck on Ten Pound Island, drifted seaward and foundered. Afterward Poole formed a partnership with Wm. Gardner; the firm did a prosperous busi- ness shipping fresh fish for years, then was merged into the Atlantic Hali- but Company. Poole also owned the Vanguard. For several years, as S. G. Poole and Sons, he shipped fish from Seattle. Willard and Samuel were older brothers of James and Eben Poole, who lived at Boothbay, and E. A. Poole, town clerk, S. Bristol.
POOLE, WILLARD G. Born in 1839, from youth he followed the sea in the old square-riggers to Liverpool, W. I. and S. A. In Civil War days, home- ward bound from Lisbon, the ship was captured by the Alabama and the crew ironed, with exception of Willard, who was detailed to feed them. An invitation to ship on Alabama for the next cruise was declined by Poole. In the Alabama claims he was reimbursed for his losses.
Later he engaged successfully in fishing out of G'ter, commanding Georgiana, Maud and Effie, Leona and others. On September 16 1903 his schooner, George F. Edmunds, was lost at Pemaquid Point, and Captain Poole and thirteen hands died in raging surf.
TUCKER, SAMUEL. He was commissioned commander of armed vessels by General Washington, and with the Franklin and Hancock schooners made several prizes. In the fall of 1777 he was appointed to the frigate Boston and carried Hon. John Adams to France. Tucker and the frigate were captured in the spring of 1780; thereafter he had the privateer Thorne, an English prize-ship, recaptured by them in 1781.
A successful naval officer, Commodore Tucker (1748-1833) came to Bristol in 1792, and was buried in a cemetery at Bremen where a memorial to him was erected by the State of Maine. A topsail schooner launched at Bristol in 1844 was christened Commodore Tucker.

Of the force engaged, the District of Maine was said to have fur- nished a third of the troops whose commander in chief was William Pepperell, a man resolute and of good repute. Commodore Peter War- ren, R. N., co-operated with men-of-war and afterward was advanced in rank to admiral. Pepperell was created a baronet.

APPENDIX I
BOOTHBAY VESSELS [IN TWO PARTS]
(A) Vessels constructed within the limits of old Boothbay including North Boothbay and Hodgdon's Mills, later East Boothbay.
(B) Vessels owned and hailing from Boothbay, but built elsewhere. On the Damariscotta River shore of Newcastle, Nathaniel Bryant (1765-1835) had a shipyard on a point projecting into the river a little southerly from the present Damariscotta bridge. He constructed numerous vessels, some owned at Boothbay.
The reported tonnage of vessels varied because of different measurements by ship carpenters, government registry, and a change in the mode of meas- urement itself. Therefore the approximate tonnage, from 40 to 100 tons, is listed: 81 to 100, x; 61 to 80, y; 41 to 60, z. Larger tonnage is given in figures. The smaller craft were from 20 to 40 tons, unlisted; and all, unless other- wise specified, were schooner-rigged, including pinks.
Abbreviations: b., built; m., master; o., owner. Among the owners the names of the shipbuilders (chap. v) predominate. William Adams and Son (W. Irving) engaged in shipbuilding after the Civil War until about 1890, when W. Irving and his son continued the business. Since W. I. Adams was the active member of both firms the vessels constructed are credited to him.
SAILING VESSELS CONSTRUCTED IN THE BOOTHBAY DISTRICT
1763 That year three medium-sized sloops, Industry, Nancy, Peggy, were constructed; owned by Samuel Howard, Edw. Clark, and Ephraim McFarland, respectively. The next earliest known, built locally, was the Susannah; seized near Fort Pownal, 1775.
