Some of these were regular Tars, while others were engaged in the bay trade. As I have already given a sketch of the history of several of those I have named, there is one other man, a sketch of whose history I desire to record, and that is Captain Littleton N. B. Long who, when but a boy, left his father's house, and this his native place, and went to the City of Baltimore, and from there he engaged in a seafaring life. Friendless and penniless, with nothing to depend on but his native talent ...and energy with which to 108 History of Pocomohe City, make his mark. The sequel shows how well he did it. Whether he engaged as cabin boy or not on board the ship or brig I am not able to say, but one thing I can say, he had a bright intellect and was ambitious to make a man of himself. Obedient and industrious, he soon won the sympathy and favor of the officers, and as circum- stances would permit, with their instructions, he studied navigation. While a young man he took command of a ship ; in a short time after this he became owner or part owner of a ship and continued in this relation for several years.
