AMBROSE HASKELL6 b. Dec. 17, 1800. He was a master mariner and supercargo; sailed in the employ of the Hon. William Bartlett, of Newburyport, ten years. He followed the sea for thirty consecutive years, twelve of which were in the Batavia and China trade. His first experience of a sea life was in September, 1813, when he went as a supernumerary, with his uncle Thomas Haskell and his father and brother Philip, in the schooner Becca, belonging to his uncle, bound to the New Meadows River, Slate of Maine, for a cargo of wood. Being off Cape Ann in the evening, dark, and wind S. W., a cannon shot was fired through the mainsail, which brought the schooner to immediately, and it was soon after boarded by a ferocious-looking officer and boat’s crew from. H. M. Sloop Dart, all armed with pistols and cutlasses, to take a craft of sixty tons, three men and a boy. A thorough search ensued, which resulted in their conviction of the entire innocence of the four adventures, and the comparative worthlessness of the prize, which they suffered to pass on without further molestation, after putting on board four prisoners to be cared for. Mr. White became a resident of Newburyport in 1824; removed to Boston in 1846, thence to Charlestown the same year; thence to Dorchester in 1854, and back to Boston in 1868, where he now resides. Married April 21, 1834,
