TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
The [‘Mayflower Compact’] was in the middle of a paragraph in the original book (on pages 28 and 29). It has been moved to the end of this ebook.
All misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been left unchanged.
“Sand dunes beyond the blue salt bay,
Stars twinkling on the rippling sea,
Twin lights of Gurnet far away,
And here sweet peace for thee and me.”
—KATE GANNET WOODS
