Hull
100 Years ago this week
Compiled from The Hull Beacon
by John J. Galluzzo
November 17, 1911
• The morning of November 1 a fishing
vessel, Susan and Mary, coming from the
fishing banks heavily laden with fish and
bound for Boston, was wrecked on the
rocks, due to the fog, off Point Allerton.
It was discovered by J. H. Murphy as he
was on patrol south. He summoned help
from the lifesaving station and under the
direction of Capt. W. Sparrow, the lifesavers
got the crew of 18 men on board
and five of them were kept at the station
for five days. The captain of the vessel
was G. B. Anderson. The vessel belonged
to the Maritime Atlantic Fish Co.
and was valued at $12,000. The 60,000
pounds of fish was valued at $2500 and
was given away. After stripping the
vessel she was sold to a junk dealer for
$215. Capt. Sparrow has performed 26
wreck duties since 1 August. Last year
he performed 50, so has a pretty good
chance this year of beating the record.
• Mrs. Reynolds is to build three houses
upon her land in front of the Rockland
house. Mrs. Reynolds is a delightful
conversationalist, cordial in manner, and
is a very charming woman.
• Why has no reporter written up the
christening of Mr. and Mrs. Paolo
Taurasi’s young son? It was a social
event of prominence in Hull, for which
great preparations were made and where
more than 50 guests were assembled, not
counting the children. Many people from
Boston were present to pay court to the
young heir, and the whole affair was a
brilliant success.
• During the high windstorm Sunday
and Monday the spray dashing over the
rocks and the shores of Hog Island was
a magnificent sight, kissed as it was into
prismatic color by the sun’s rays.
• Mr. Hubbard of Q Street landed the
grandfather of all smelts last Saturday,
which measured 11 inches in length, and
was captured in Hull Bay off Hog Island.
• It was a pitiful and shameful sight
to see a woman helped off the train at
Whitehead last Friday so filled with
liquor that she staggered. To see men
intoxicated is lamentable enough, but
for a woman to be so lost to all sense of
decency is shocking.
• Every fall large numbers of skates drift
upon our shores, and then flounder about
until they die. An old sailor says it is their
habit to do so when they instinctively
realize that they are “on their last legs.”
If only they could be persuaded to “kick
the bucket” a little farther out, where
the current would take care of their foul
smelling remains, it would be a consummation
devoutly to be wished.
• Miss Vining has been presented with a
magnificent pedigreed St. Bernard dog a
year and half old.
• Linemen have been very busy the past
two days repairing the wreckage by the
high wind of Sunday. At Green Hill, near
the Straits Pond House, four poles carrying
electric light and telephone wires
were blown down, making it dangerous
passing, and a policeman was stationed
there to warn people.
• James A. Parsons and John A. Morton
spent the Sunday at Hull, guests of Miss
2nd Annual
