Only a few weeks since, I called, with a brother minister, on a family of Maine people in a miserable tenement house in the North End. The husband and father had been sick and out of work for a good while. A short time before my visit, however, he had shipped on a coaster from Hyannis to Philadelphia.
"Yesterday we got up quite an excitement because a large steamship was seen near the Haul-over. She set a flag for a pilot, and was boarded. It was found that she was out of course, twenty days from Glasgow, bound to New York. What the European news is we do not yet know, but it is plain that we are nearer to Europe than to Hyannis.
"Hello, there, Hiram!" he cried, rising from his chair. "Glad to see you once in a while. Ain't goin' to leave us, are you? Not goin' abroad for your health, or anything of that kind, hey?" Captain Baker laughed. "No," he answered. "No further abroad than Hyannis. And I'll be back from there tonight, if the Lord's willin' and the cars don't get off the track.

Luke had been tacking to get to Hyannis, this wind would have forced him into Holmes's Hole. The Euroaquilo is no respecter of persons. These winds, and others unnamed and more terrible, circle about New England. They form a ring about it: they lie in wait on its borders, but only to spring upon it and harry it.

How much, think likely?" "Oh, I don't know. Ten dollars, perhaps." "Um-hm . . . I see. . . . Well, that's pretty good, considerin', I suppose. . . . We did first-rate on that Hyannis school-house contract, didn't we. Nigh's I can figger it we cleared over fourteen hundred and eighty dollars on that."
If the passage had only been of moderate length, I should, in all likelihood, have reached Boston in good health; but nineteen days had passed away when we sailed through the Vineyard Sound, and anchored in the harbor of Hyannis, on the third of July, 1810. Some days before we reached Hyannis, I found myself gradually losing strength.
Wonder how fur along he'd got. Didn't hear him singin' anything about 'Hyannis on the Cape, did you, boy?" "No." "That's some comfort. Now, don't you worry, Mother. I'll be back in a few minutes." Mrs. Snow clasped her hands. "Oh, I HOPE he hasn't set the barn afire," she wailed. "No danger of that, I guess. No, Rachel, you 'tend to your supper. I don't need you."
