No one then could have imagined what we now behold English-speaking people possessing most and dominating all of that newfound Western World. This miracle was wrought by the coming of those three little old-time ships, the Sarah Constant, the Goodspeed, and the Discovery.
That our pinnace was a vessel able to withstand such waves as would be met with in the ocean, can be believed when you remember that she was one half the size of the Goodspeed, which we counted a ship. Captain Smith, my master, found plenty of work for me during the weeks before the fleet sailed.
Bartholomew Gosnold, the captain of the Goodspeed, had sailed with thirty others, five years before, from Dartmouth in a bark named the Concord. He had not made the usual long sweep southward into tropic waters, there to turn and come northward, but had gone, arrow-straight, across the north Atlantic one of the first English sailors to make the direct passage and save many a weary sea league.
The wreck proved to be the ship Goodspeed, Captain Gillis, of and for Liverpool, with cotton from New Orleans. During the calm of the preceding night she had been caught by one of the powerful coast currents, and stealthily but surely drawn into the toils.
"I'll bet Lady Pat got it straight, but if she did that list ought to show it." He leaned forward again and turned to the early pages. "Courtney, Cousens, Covell, Coveney Covington ought to come in right there." Then he turned the pages over rapidly "Goodrich, Goodspeed, Goodwin, Gordon, Gore there isn't any Gorham there, either." For several moments he sat there deep in thought.
And if that's the case, there's a whole lot of folks would be mighty glad to know it Henry G. Goodspeed for one. I'm goin' up to his store now. Shall I tell him?" This was a shot in the bull's-eye. Mr. Ellis owed a number of bills, had owed them for a long time, and Mr. Goodspeed's was by no means the smallest. The loafers exchanged winks, and the blacksmith's manner became more conciliatory.
He bade the wanderers farewell and goodspeed with much impressiveness and sent messages of good-will to their parents. "How do you suppose Uncle Oscar knew I was an Abolitionist?" demanded Sandy, as soon as they were out of earshot. "I'm not an Abolitionist, anyhow." "Well, you're a free-State man; and that's the same thing," said Charlie. "A free-State boy," added Oscar.
"I do not catch your meaning," said Goodspeed. "Except for the system of slavery and the exclusion of the blacks from the exercise and enjoyment of poitical rights and privileges, I cannot see that the political system of the South differed materially from that of the North." "Precisely so," said Le Moyne.
He engages in the struggle, hand to hand and foot to foot with his equals; he learns confidence in himself; he begins to measure his own power, and fits himself for the higher duties and responsibilities of statesmanship." "Well, well," laughed Goodspeed, "there is something in that.
That was one year. The March of the next year James Stuart, King of England, died. That young Henry who was Prince of Wales when the Susan Constant, the Goodspeed, and the Discovery sailed past a cape and named it for him Cape Henry, also had died. His younger brother Charles, for whom was named that other and opposite cape, now ascended the throne as King Charles the First of England.
