H ISTORY By ELMO SCOTT WATSON It Fired ,the First Gun in the Revolution Contrary to popular opinion, the opening gun o f the Revolution was not fired- at Lexington, Mass., oh April 10, 1778. That honor really belongs to Portsmouth, N, H.. where the first overt act In the war for independence took place, Decemher 14,1774' On December IS, 1774, Paul Revere, as yet unknown to fame but already acting as messenger In the cause o f American liberty, rode posthaste into Portsmouth to warn the local com- ( mltteo o f public safety that General * Gage was planning to reinforce Port j William add Mary, ah ancient fortress o f stone In Portsmouth-harbor, • Gov. John Wentworth, heard o f R6- vere’s arrival and sent word to Capt. John Cochran, commander of the little garrison of five soldiers, to be on (guard against an attempt by the col­ onists to seize the munitions In the fort. Accordingly Cochran mounted three four-pounders on the walls of the fort where an attack would most likely come and ordered a sharp watch kept tl»at night. * About four o’clock the next morning a party of 400 citizens, led by John Lahgdon, later a governor o f New Hampshire, and John Sullivan, des­ tined for fame as the conqueror of the Iroquois confederacy during the Rev­ olution, approached the fOrt In boats. Cochran Immediately opened ,fire, but ! took care to shoot over the heads o f ; the mob, for he realized what his fate , would be If he killed any o f them. Undaunted by the firing,.the colo­ nists swarmed Into the fort, took Cochran and hi* men prisoners, but released them after they had carried away 100 barrels o f gunpowder (some o f which, Incidentally, was ’’returned" to the British from the Darning mouths o f patriotic muskets on Bunker Hill a little later) and other supplies. Al- How I wish I could a ridel" Sarinesea sighed stormily* “Well, why don’t you?" Aunt Susan asked placidly. "Lady Jane Gray isn’t working-exercise’d he better for her than standing stalled all day." “Ugh l All she’s fit far Is crowhalt! I wouldn’t be seen on her," Sarlnesca flung back. "Of course, If you wanter show olt-—" began Aunt Susan. "X don’t i Only—-not to be a scare* crowd” Sara broke In, tears running over her rosy cheeks. "It comes o f being an honest man’s daughter. Don’ t forget that!" Aunt Susan said, head up, eyes flashing. "Too .honest to try standing from un­ der a load of security debts your grandfather had put on him, I’d be proud—remembering a thing like that," "I—I—can’t! I’m young," Sara sobbed; "nineteen—and I’ve never hud —anything." Aunt Susan swallowed something hard In •her throat. She loved this quicksilver child dearly, for all she had found her a trial nil the ten years she had cherished her. "Susan, keep her safe. She’s all that’s left me," her brother had said when he bade them good-by. Three months had stripped him of everything. His wife, his twin sons, their grandparents—all had been instantly killed In a motor accident, leaving him a burden o f debts and grief that ought to have crushed 1dm utterly. Terribly shaken, he had some­ how. lived through It, keeping Ills head' unbowed. "I shall come hack—living or dead." were his last words. A motor horn sounded Impatiently outside. Sara darted to find out Its meaning. In a minute she was .back,' white, breathless, saying brokenly; "I can’t believe It—but—but my Great- uncle Julian has come to take mo away—for good." "You are willing to go with him," Aunt Susan shot at her, "after he has ' waited so long?" Sara noddled. “You won’ t blame me, after you see their car—and my aunt’s clothes 1” "Bttt you are—your mother’s daugh­ ter,” Susan said with a hard, breath. "Be sure I won't lay a .straw in the way of your going. Only—when your father comes—” “He won’t ever come i He must be dead," Sara cried, flinging herself Upon her aunt’s breast, “He will come—Hying or dead," Su­ san interrupted; "and he will know I did all 1 could for you." Sara went quickly, but not before Aunt Susan had spoken with the rlclr kin. They were o f the fah-est surface, eagerly gracious, Insisting that shortly she roust come and pay them a long visit, but she distrusted them. Sara wrote daily all through the first week, then the letters slackened, but Aunt-Susan did not wonder. One of" the letters made Aunt Susan start violently—it mentioned the name o f the man whose treachery had paused her brother's ruin. He had been young­ ish then—say thirty-five. At forty-five Sarlnhsca would tempt him mightily, with her fresh untouchedness, her elfitt charm. Rut when Jim, her brother, came back the next day, joy drove all else ftom her mind for a week. Aged, weather-beaten, smiling rarely, speak­ ing little, ho seemed content to bat' himself in her devotion. Sara's ao- sence grieved him, but not bitterly, “ She Is young—and starved for pleas­ ure,” he said. "Let her take her fill." though” Governor Wentworth lirtmed a , - .*■ __,* proclamation calling for the arrest o f Sister Susan adrod no quoisHon* it these "traitors to his majesty," noth­ ing was ever done about it, and in Jtthe, 1778, after his efforts to enlist more men to defend the fort had failed, he moved into Fort William and Mary with b li family to hold It for King George, . By August the situation had become so ‘threatening that Wentworth waa glad to make bis escape on a British warship and immediately after his departure the Americans demolished the fortress. Years later another fort was built on ihla historic spot and It was appropriately named Fort Con­ stitution, a fit successor to the British Fort William and Mary, Where the opening gun o f the Revolution was fifed.

"Your home always," Aunt Susan said shakily, "Enough that you are herer—you need not \lell why." •"But I must!" Sam cried, dropping the man's hand, "You see—I mar­ ried—or else I couldn’t ever have got away." Then all In a huddle came the whole story.

As her eye caught her father's face, she flung herself upon his breast, A long minute o f uHen.'c—then Jim bad to explain a bit, Urtclo Julian and Judge Tanner, it appeared, had found out that he was coming home— enormously rich—due In two months, hence their haste.
