Article: A Little Bit of Hell, Maine Style. (TBD 1/9/18, article not located; see also pending Backlog item 2501 for possible copy.) See reprint in Cranberry Chronicle Spring 2014 edition, page 7, from Bangor Daily News ca. 1919; Sam Spurling was aboard the Cashier during this event. Introductory paragraph: “A Little Bit of Hell—Maine Style That’s What Capt. Spurling Gave a Pirate. State Gets Tokens of His Courage. from the Bangor Daily News, ca. 1919 It was just ninety-six years ago Tuesday (Jan. 21) that an event happened in the harbor of Trinidad, Cuba, which reflected great credit on the leader of a bold enterprise, recollections of which have recently been stirred in Maine, on account of the purchase by the state of a brace of pistols and a sword from Mrs. E. Preble of Framingham, Mass…..” And see Charles Liebow notes on the Cashier: - CASHIER: Masters - Samuel Spurling & William Moore, Built in Eden in 1820, 30 Gross Tons, 49.8/17.8/5.3: Two masts with a square stern. Perhaps the vessel from which Sam Spurling gave the Caribbean pirates a "little bit of Hell, Maine style." [show more]
