228 CAPTAIN ZACHARY G. LAMSON 



France and Spain from December 12th, 

 1810 until February, 1811, when I closed 

 my business and embarked on the ship 

 Commodore Rogers, Captain Shaler, for 

 New York, and, after a disagreeable pas- 

 sage of forty-four days, we arrived in New 

 York where I remained a few days and 

 went home to Beverly. 1 I remained at 

 home a few weeks and, as Mr. Gray had 

 no ship at that moment, I took charge of 

 the schooner Angler 2 for Messrs. Leach, 

 Stephen Thorndike & Kilham and made 

 a good voyage for them to Archangel, gone 

 about four months. 3 



1 " Ship ' Commodore Rogers/ Shaler, forty-one days 

 from Bayonne, arrived in New York. Passenger Z. G. 

 Lamson and thirty American sea men from condemned 

 vessels. Dec. 15, at Bayonne took place the sale of nine- 

 teen American vessels, the 'Wells* and eighteen others.

 Feb. 16, 1811.
