Intrepid Band of Britons, Seeking PROVINCETOWN, MASS, Dec. 21—Poking her nose through the fog, the ship Mayflower, of Southampton, Jones, Master, limped into port to-night. On board were men with hoary hair and women with fearless eyes, 109 in all. Asked why they had made the journey, they alleged that religious freedom was the goal they sought here. The Mayflower carried a cargo of antique furniture. Among those on board were William Bradford, M. Standish, Jno. Alden, Peregrine White, John Carver and others. Steps are being taken to organize a society of Mayflower Descendants. ("The Bridge Of Sighs") |
