Individual settlers. supply fishing ships, and in the season the same men were to lend a hand on board the ships, which would thus be saved the necessity for carrying double crews. But this plausible scheme proved a case of seeking strawberries in the sea and red her- rings in the wood. Farmers were but lubbers at codfishing, and salt-water fishermen were clumsy enough in the cornfield. Losses of several sorts forced the Dorchester Company to dissolve. Four members of their futile colony, encou...raged by a message from White, remained on Cape Ann. Removing to the present site of Salem, they waited at the risk of their lives for the coming of a new colony from England. Solitary adventurers of the sort known on near- ly every frontier were presently to be found in sev- eral places. The scholarly recluse was represented by Blackstone, who had selected for his secluded abode a spot convenient to a spring of good water where the town of Boston was afterward planted ; the inevitable Scotch adventurer was on an island in Boston Harbor ; Samuel Maverick, a pattern of frontier hospitality and generosity, took up his abode on Noddle's Island ; while the rollicking and scoffing libertine was found in Thomas Morton, who with some rebellious bond servants got posses- sion of a fortified house in what is now Braintree.
