Weighing anchor, two fruitless attempts were made to get out of the harbor. The third attempt was successful. The vessel had scarcely got out to sea before these men discovered ti their dismay that they were in an un-seaworthy vessel, commanded by a drunken captain and manned by an incompetent crew. A violent storm soon arose, intensifying their anxiety. After hours of weary watching and hard work at the pumps by turns, the vessel entered Townsend harbor. Here they found several vessels that had sought shelter from the fury of the storm, among which was a vessel bound to Frankfort. Not desirous of continuing their acquaintance with the captain and crew with whom they had first sailed, they transferred their effects to the Frankfort vessel and took passage on her. Arriving safely at Frankfort in due time the oxen, horses and ox-wagon were landed. Mr. Fifield proceeded directly to the township and arranged with Joseph Garland and John Grant, who now owned the mill built two years earlier, to send a pair of oxen each to help the incoming emigrants along. The supplies and tools were transferred to the boat belonging to the vessel and under direction of the mate, Messrs. Flanders, Silver, and Currier brought them safely to Bangor.
