The cold hand of fear clutched at her heart as she saw the stranger approaching. And well might her cheek blanch and

SONG AND STORY
her hands tremble, for she was told that her husband was dead, that he had been of high and noble ancestry and had left great estates to which his son was heir and that his ship had come to take the boy back to France that he might be educated to fill the position that would be his when he became of age.
Carefully the visitor explained the great privileges and bene- fits that would come to the child if he were allowed to go to the land of his ancestors, very adroitly he hinted that later she might be allowed to cross the sea to see for herself the place that would be his and of which she must not deprive her son.
The stranger had brought abundant gold, but the poor girl heeded not the treasure with which he sought to tempt her ; she thought only of her child and the opportunity that was his. Long hours the messenger talked and then he sat silent while the poor, grief-striken young mother made her decision.
When he rowed back to the ship toward evening, the fisher folk, who had gathered on the shore to gaze on the strange sights, waved farewell to the tiny boy on the shoulder of the dis- tinguished stranger who had won his baby fancy with a few glittering baubles. In the humble little house at the head of the harbor, the bags of gold lay unheeded where the visitor had placed them and the poor mother, "bereft and widowed of her own" lay in a swoon on the floor alone. The ship weighed anchor and sailed away, her mission in America accomplished.
The years came and went. The humble settlers on Mount Desert Island heard of "wars and rumors of wars" that troubled the lands across the sea, but of those who rose or fell by reason. of affairs of state they knew naught nor cared.
No one knows whether the poor young mother died in South- west Harbor or went away, but years afterward a man of marked appearance who "spoke as one having authority" and who limped as he walked, appeared among them and asked guarded questions of the settlers regarding the child who had been taken away and of his mother. It was long afterward that the people learned that the visitor had been recognized by a man from Boston who had come to Mount Desert on business connected with land titles and who was puzzled at the interest which the stranger showed in the vicinity.

TRADITIONS AND RECORDS
The little house long since crumbled away and the stone wall which surrounded its garden sank with the years into the ground. But sweet cinnamon roses struggled for many summers around the rough stone doorstep and the lillies that the young mother planted pushed their green blades through the thick grass for more than a century. And now even those frail blossoms have passed and nothing marks the spot which is said to be the birth- place of the famous French statesman-Charles Maurice de Talleyrand.
COMING ON ALLOWANCE
It has often be said that the State of Maine is a good place in which to raise young men. I think there is much truth in this statement. Her sons have gone out in every direction, in most instances making good business men and good citizens, and many have filled important places of honor and trust. Some are ready to say that all the most enterprising business men leave the State. I grant that a great many of them do, but some are left and I have no fear but that they will take care of their home interests. The attachment to home is strong and many return and some are heard to say "The State of Maine is a good enough place for me to live in."
Mount Desert Island has not been behind the rest of the State in raising men of courage, energy and high moral principles. It is of one of these, Mr. Stephen Richardson, that I wish to speak.
He was born at Beech Hill (which was also the birthplace of the late Bishop Clark of Cincinnati, Ohio), July 1791. His childhood was passed in this enchanting spot, surrounded by the mountains and with Echo Lake but a short distance from his father's house. Here, with his companions, he waded, bathed and swam or rowed upon the lake in summer and skated upon its icy surface in winter. And not the least attraction was the won- derful echo of sound which gives to this lovely sheet of water its name.
Mr. Richardson was an active participant in the Battle of Norwood's Cove. A brave handful of men had determined to defend the vessels which had been taken into the Mill Pond at Southwest Harbor for safety while a British war ship was cruis-
335
SONG AND STORY
ing the coast and destroying all American shipping during the war of 1812. A skirmish occurred at what is now called The Back Shore at the entrance to the Mill Pond, and several of the British were killed or wounded.
As the Americans fired on the enemy from behind trees and rocks and were thus unseen by the foe, there were none killed, and the British withdrew.
Mr. Richardson was a frequent and ever welcome guest at my father's house and although the frost of many winters had whitened his head when I first heard him relate his experience at the battle of Norwood's Cove, the kindling eye and flushed countenance told plainly what the excitement of the hour must have been. "But we did not do right", he said in conclusion. "We fired upon them as soon as they came abreast of us. Had we allowed them to pass in a short distance before firing, they could not have got out so quickly and we should have killed as many again of them."
He paid no attention to our look of dismay as the thought crossed our mind that perhaps he had taken the life of a fellow being, but added with evident satisfaction, "But we killed con- siderable many of them, though."
Much of Mr. Richardson's life was passed upon the ocean, and it was a rare treat to us to listen to the stories of the sea which he drew from the storehouse of his wonderful memory. He was a man of great strength and purity of character, possess- ing many traits that constitute a noble manhood; especially those traits so lovely when combined in a Christian and a gen- tleman. He retained his remarkable faculties until his death, which occurred Sept. 5, 1877. He was not dismayed at the approach of the "king of terrors", but met the last moments as calmly as if called upon to undertake a journey.
He was much attached to his island home and viewed with astonishment and pleasure the rapid changes at Bar Harbor and other places on the island of Mount Desert, and, though always professing his willingness to depart this life was sometimes heard to say that he would like to live a few years longer just to see what improvements would be made.
336
TRADITIONS AND RECORDS
Born in the eighteenth century, he had seen steamboats, rail- cars, the telegraph and many other wonderful inventions come into general use. It was while on one of the before-mentioned visits to my father's house, that, as he sat listening to the reading of an account of shipwreck and disaster, he said, "Coming on allowance! I know something of what that means. I have been on allowance with only one potato a day and very small at that." We learned from him the following particulars :
A few years after the close of the War of 1812, Mr. Richard- son went one winter with Capt. William Spurling of Cranberry Isles, to carry a load of plaster from Eastport to Baltimore. The vessel was what is called a topsail schooner ; that is, having yards on her foremast; a class of vessels very common at that time, but now seldom met with. She was built at Cranberry Island, having been commenced before the war; but owing to the dull times was not completed until some time after its close, in consequence of which, the vessel did not prove as strong as she otherwise would probably have been.
On their passage out they encountered a severe gale in which they lost their boat and the vessel was very badly wrecked. In the long, furious northwester that followed, they were driven hundreds of miles out of their way, bringing them into quite warm weather. At one time thoughts were entertained of going in to Bermuda, but, fearing that the vessel would be condemned and sold as a wreck and lured by the mild weather, they resolved to take her home to Cranberry Island if possible. They had not counted on the severe weather that followed in which they found that the vessel was in even worse condition than they had sup- posed.
A number of times they succeeded in nearing the coast, only to be driven off many miles again. It was found necessary to put the men on allowance and also to reduce the ration from time to time. They could now carry but little sail on the foremast as it caused the vessel to leak so badly and every seaman knows how essential to progress are the head sails of any craft.
One day Mr. Richardson said to Capt. Spurling, "I wish that mast was out of the vessel." "So do I" the captain replied ; "but I am afraid that should it be cut away it would so com- pletely wreck her that she would soon founder."
337
SONG AND STORY
Mr. Richardson said, "We shall never get in with that heavy mast wrecking her all the time. If we were rid of that we could rig a jury mast and our prospect of seeing home again would be better."
Their provisions were growing less and less and the men were growing weaker all the time. Pumping by hand is not easy work for men with scarcely anything to eat and Mr. Richardson had formed a plan in his mind for getting rid of the troublesome mast and although it was a hazardous one, he resolved to put it into execution. The chain bolts which held the shrouds of the foremast had worked loose and those on the lee side had to be driven in occasionally to keep them from coming out altogether.
One night when it was his turn at the wheel, with the wind blowing quite a heavy breeze, he kept the vessel so that the shrouds on one side were slack and one bolt and then another worked out and swung loose ; then keeping her so as to bring the other shroud taut, in an instant every lanyard parted, the heavy, cumbersome mast toppled and fell over the side with a fearful crash, bringing those below to the deck to see what new disaster had befallen them.
Everything needed for the rigging of a jury mast was saved ; the rest was cut away and soon drifted out of sight. After rigging the jury mast the vessel did not leak as badly as before and new courage seemed to spring up in every heart.
After many reverses the hills of Mount Desert at last came in view and never was the sight of them more welcome. Not long after, the wind suddenly changed with every indication of another fierce northwester. Should they be driven off the coast again certain starvation stared them in the face. As they were so far to the eastward it was deemed advisable to try to get into Prospect Harbor which they finally entered and came to anchor sometime during the night. Safe at last after having been for sixty days on a wreck.
Before retiring to sleep the last remaining food on the vessel-a small piece of salt pork, was cooked, divided and eaten. In the morning the dismasted, weather-beaten craft attracted attention from the shore. One man came down and hailed them and asked, "Why don't you come ashore?"
338
TRADITIONS AND RECORDS
"We cannot", was the answer. "We have no boat."
The man procured a boat and brought them all ashore and to his own home. They were reduced almost to skeletons and so weak they could hardly walk. The people of the house were aware that caution must be used in giving food to men who were so nearly starved. An old lady sitting in the corner and regard- ing them with compassion, said, "I think some new milk would be the best thing to give them."
Each man drank freely of the milk offered them, some drink- ing nearly a quart. "After a short time", said Mr. Richardson, "I began to feel sick and on going out I threw up all the milk I had drank." All the others did the same. Some gruel was then given them which they retained.
The vessel was taken home to Cranberry Island the first fav- orable chance.
They had been gone nearly all winter and their friends and families had long since given them up as lost and were over- joyed at their return.
Mr. Richardson's home was at Southwest Harbor at Seawall, near the place where the Seawall Hotel used to stand. Later the house was occupied by Mr. Thomas Stanley and Mr. Richardson moved to Broad Cove and from there to his old home at Beech Hill. He did not retire from the sea until he was nearly sixty years of age and made many successful voyages to the West Indies and other ports, passing through many thrilling scenes upon the ocean but he was never afterwards reduced to the neces- sity of "coming on allowance."

SONG AND STORY
THE FLYING PLACE or THE NARROWS
"Flying Place" at the Narrows is a passage of water about 150 feet wide at high tide and dry at low tide, separating Thomp- son's Island from Mount Desert Island. A bridge was built across the Flying Place soon after Eden was incorporated in 1796.
In January, 1836, the legislature of Maine passed an act creating William Thompson and John Haynes, their associates and successors, a body politic and corporate, by the name of The Proprietors of Mount Desert Bridge Corporation, granting them certain powers and privileges among which was the right to build a bridge over Mount Desert Narrows from the mainland in Tremont to Eden and to establish and collect toll for crossing said bridge. Bridge to be completed within two years after September 1, 1836, or charter became null and void.
There was in the act this proviso: "Provided however that after the period of twenty years, the towns of Eden, Trenton and Mount Desert or either of them shall have the privilege of pur- chasing said bridge at the original cost of erecting the same for the purpose of making it a free bridge."
The capital stock was $5000, with 100 shares and $50 each. These shares were taken by 59 persons from one to seven shares each.
The first meeting of the corporation was called July 2, 1836. Col. John Black was appointed president and William Thomp- son and John M. Noyes contracted to build the bridge, which was begun at once and finished in the fall of 1837.
This bridge served the public for many years and toll was collected until the coming of the automobile to Mount Desert Island. Then it was purchased by the island towns and on Sunday, June 3, 1917, it was made a free bridge.
On May 31, 1920, the new cement bridge was dedicated as a War Memorial.

TRADITIONS AND RECORDS
MOUNT DESERT BRIDGE
The following lines were written by some unknown local poet for the occasion of the dedication of the first bridge from Mount Desert Island to the main land at The Narrows on August 16, 1837.
Since man was first created, The watery waves have rolled And swept along this passage, Obstructing it with shoals.
The fish along were sporting Amidst the swelling tides, The savage from his cabin Across this passage glides.
The groves were dressed in mourning Around its flowing banks, While moose and deer were playing Their most romantic pranks.
The Indian with his paddle Did cleave the flowing stream, His children with the bubbles Amused in childish dreams.
But what had man achieved Within one hundred years ? The land around is cleared ; The Indian disappears.
And now arrest this passage, Obstructions to defeat ; A bridge is now erected With workmanship complete.
341
SONG AND STORY
Made up with stone and timber, The waters to defy, And then with sand and gravel A road is built on high.
Those persons are deserving Much credit and applause, Who snatched away this passage From Neptune's watery jaws.
May they all be rewarded For all their toil and pain ; Long may this bridge continue To bear its builder's name.
And when in death they slumber, This bridge will still remain, While many a passing stranger Will ask its builder's name.
Until Time is no longer, This work of art will show Amidst the tide of waters Which ever ebb and flow.
Success to the directors Who first devised a plan To place this bridge across it To help their fellowman.
