The sole result, of this bit of strategy seems to have been the capture of one poor Frenchman from whom the English learned that the Indians had gone, some to Passamaquoddy and others with Boishebert to Cocagne, also that there was "a French officer and about 20 men twenty-three miles up the River at a place called St. Anns."
Benjamin Atherton, the first English speaking settler at St. Anns, was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, December 20, 1746. His acquaintance with Nova Scotia dates back to the time of the Acadian Expulsion, when as a young man of less than twenty years of age he enlisted in Captain Willard's company in Lieut. Colonel Scott's battalion of Massachusetts troops.
"In our joy at this discovery," said Mrs. Fisher, "we at first called them the Royal Provincial's bread; but afterwards the staff of life and hope of the starving." There was great rejoicing when at length a schooner arrived with corn-meal and rye. It was not during the first season only that the settlers at St. Anns suffered for food, other seasons were nearly as bad.

She wondered if the Anns of her uncle's city would find the world a safer or a sweeter place after that cathedral had been erected. She thought of Ann's world of the opera and world of work.

He sailed from Boston on the 20th of May, 1755, in the sloop "Victory," and served a year in Nova Scotia under Colonel John Winslow. In the year 1769, by arrangement with James Simonds, Benjamin Atherton settled at St. Anns Point, where he established a trading post near the site of Government House, Fredericton.
"And the quicker the better," she could hear him add. But she fancied that the Reverend Saunderses of the world had yet a long course to run in the Centralias of the world. She feared that many Anns had yet to go down before them. At any rate, her uncle was not that. To-night Katie loved him anew for his delightful worldliness. Though he was not in his best form that night.
And yet Ann would not have found the world the place she had found it were it the place Helen would have it. But Ann had found joy and peace safety and was too happy in her own life to get excited about the world and thought Helen a little queer! That was Ann's type and that was why there were Anns.
