Another story is also told in regard to a minister of the same name, who preached to the islanders. It appears that one of their fishing boats had been lost with the entire crew, in Ipswich Bay. During a sermon, in which Mr. Moody sought to " improve " upon this sad event, he said : " Supposing, my breth- ren, any of you should be overtaken in the bay by a north-east storm, your hearts trembling with fear, and nothing before you but death, whither would your thoughts turn? what would you do?" T...o this he received the unexpected repl}^ from an old sailor, who, unable to repress himself, promptly said: "I would hoist the foresail and scud away for Squam ! " In this vicinity the rocks are fine and the shore bold, its outline foi'ming the letter M with its top to the islands, not a foot of land now intervening be- tween us and the Old World ; yet we did not delay, but returned through the village and went to the north-west end of the island to view the remains of an old fort. On the way, we passed another burial ground, from which it appears that here the living are less numerous than the dead.
