WENHAM 
Tue Cruise o 
F THE “PIONEERS” 
Members of the Jubilee Yacht club 
in Beverly who were present at the 
club house early Monday morning, 
June 30, were surprised to see a party 
of boys inv ading their premises. 
Soon afterward a power boat appear- 
ed from the direction of Marblehead 
towing two cutters; and into these 
craft tumbled the lads. “Cast off” 
commanded Scoutmaster Shaw; and 
the cruise of the Wenham Y. M. C. 
A. boy scouts had commenced. 
There were 15 Wenham boys in 
the party, with Rev. Mr. Cutler, their 
scoutmaster. Dean Lochman of Sa- 
lem, a member of Mr. Schaller’s 
troop, was with them throughout the 
trip, and upon arriving at the ship in 
Marblehead harbor, they found Har- 
ry Worsnip of Hudson, a member of 
Mr. Cutler’s former troop. ‘The en- 
tire ship’s company consisted of 
seven other scouts, four officers, two 
sailors, a cook and a cabin boy—total 
33. Before the boys realized it, an- 
chor had been weighed and the voy- 
age was begun. Sailor clothes were 
at once issued, and assignments made. 
So readily did the boys fall into sea 
routine and take to sailoring that even 
on the first day scarcely one missed 
so much as a single meal. 
Monday night found the Pioneer 
: 
anchored off Saquish, outside of Ply- 
mouth habor "and in the very water 
navigated by the Mayflower in 1620. 
\ ednesday evening saw the ship at 
Provincetown under the shadow of 
the famous Pilgrim monument. Ex- 
actly at 6 p. m. Saturday the cruise 
ended by mooring the Pioneer to the 
Navy Yard dock, Boston, whence the 
lads returned home. All this time the 
scouts acted as crew of the vessel, 
taking their places genuinely along- 
side of the two regular seamen. Be- 
cause of their numbers, the boys 
found the work both light and pleas- 
ant, 
Arthur A. Carey of the Waltham 
Watch Co., owner of the ship, by 
whose generosity the outing was ren- 
dered available, himself participated 
in this trip, and added much to the 
enjoyment of all on board. Naval 
politeness and cleanliness were the 
rule for all, and proved attractive to 
the Wenham boys. Not an unkind 
word was heard throughout the week. 
Mr. Carey’s personal talks at 2ven- 
ing prayers on the berth deck were 
helpful, and made a deep impression. 
Mr. Cutler spoke at quarters, July 4 
upon the significance of the anniver- 
sary, pointing to the Pilgrim monu- 
ment as a concrete illustration of bis 
theme. 
Several important assignments of 
duty fell to members of. the party. 
Mr. Cutler was 3d officer of the ship,

He also organized a marine guard for 
ceremonial purposes. Conary served 
as coxwain ; Cannon as coxwain and 
gunner’s mate; Carey and Sawyer as 
quartermasters ; Knowlton as yoeman 
in charge of the hospital; J. Flynn as 
bugler : and Worship as signaler. All 
the boys were praised for “their con- 
duct and efficiency ; and especial men- 
tion was made of Conary and Carey 
for their skill, of Patch for his work 
as mess cook (“the best ever’), and 
of Landers as launderer. As the re- 
sult of an examination Saturday, sev- 
en scouts were advanced to the higher 
rating of ordinary seaman (this be- 
ing the only permanent promotion 
possible under scout rules )—Loch- 
man, Cannon, Carey, Conary, Knowl- 
ton, Sawyer and Trott. For these 
boys, together with A. and J. Flynn 
and A. R. Jones and A. Landers the 
date, July 5, was significant as mark- 
ing the completion by them of their 
first full year as scouts, and Mr. 
Carey recognized the event by appro- 
priate remarks. 
Saturday evening saw Wenham in- 
vaded by a sunburned, healthy, happy 
crowd of boys whose minds were 
crammed full of sailorcraft. 
their tongues rattled on—about stand- 
ing tricks at the wheel, standing 
watch, tending sail, rowing and sailing 
cutters under+rough sea _ condtions, 
fishing, swimming, sightseeing.
