In five years there was a fleet of fifty fishing vessels. Ten years later we have note of ten foreign vessels in the harbor in a single week. IN FIVE YEARS THERE WAS A FLEET OF FIFTY FISHING VESSELS TEN YEARS LATER WE HAVE NOTE OF TEN FOREIGN VESSELS IN THE HARBOUR IN A SINGLE WEEK
ellfish and water to offer. Many of the newcomers promptly burst into tears, and begged to return to England immediately. Poor Pilgrims! Rebuffed--and so unflatteringly--with each arriving maritime guest, who can doubt that there was born in them at that moment the constitutional dislike for unexpected company which has characterized New England ever since? However, in a comparatively short time the colonists who had been brought over in the Anne and the Little James--those who stayed, for some did return at once--adjusted themselves to the new life. Many married--both Myles Standish and Governor Bradford found wives among them; and now the Plymouth Colony may be said to have fairly started. Just as a trail which is first a mere thread leading to some out-of-the-way cabin becomes a path and then a road, and in due time a wide thoroughfare, so the way across the Atlantic from Old England to New became more charted--more traveled. At first there was only one boat and one net for fishing.
