HTHli
In 1779 the British built a fort
commanding the bay of Castme
and the little village "of Pentagoet
and called it Fort George. It was
constructed with four bastion.
marking the four, points of the
compass, and with an elaborate
labyrinth of cells far underground,
where the only light that ever u
lmninated the moldy walls was that
shed feebly by a sentry's lantern.'
In the hollow square formed by the
bastions the gibbet was erected on
which Ball and Elliott were hanged
a few vears later. . Soon after the
fort was finished it was evacuated
bv the British, who did not again
set foot within its frowning walls
until September, 1814, when Gen
eral Gasselin, with 3,500 men, came
sailing in from Halifax and again
took the town after a half hearted
defense. ' -
The invaders were not altogether
unwelcome to the thrifty inhab
itants of the Castine country, as
they scattered the king's gold with
a lavish hand and kept open port
for the. traders. But if they re
warded generously they also pun
ished severely, and when for the
second time Fort XJeorge was evac
uated the following April the un
derground cells were full of prison
ers. many of whom "were- redcoats
awaiting sentence for breaches of
military discipline. All the prison
ers were released on the morning of
the' evacuation except a drummer,
whcT was confined in cell at the ex
treme end of the subterranean pas
sage,and in the excitement of a
hurried departure he was forgotten.
It must have been several hours
before the silence, unbroken by the
footfalls of the' jailer or the' songs
and shouts of the other prisoners,
made it plain to the doomed drum
mer that the fort was deserted. His
drum had been left with him, and,
seizing the sticks, he began, to beat
upon it' furiously in the hope that
some loiterer above might hear and
come to . his rescue. " How many
hours .or how many days he drum
med frantically away in the pitch
darkness and gravelike silence of
his living tomb can only be conjec
tured, but villagers passing near
heard the . muffled sound of ruffle
and reveille, tattoo, assembly,
charge and retreat and the regular
beat for columns to march by. The
superstitious country people ascrib
ed "the drumming to supernatural
cause and gave - the fort" a- wide
berth. The strokes, becoming faint
er and ' fainter, soon ceased ' alto
gether, and it was not until years
afterward that the underground
cells were accidentally explored and
the skeleton of the drummer, still
dressed in faded scarlet, was discov
ered lying by his moldering drum.
' Long after the bastion" walls
crumbled and- the site of the fort
was almost obliterated with weeds
and bushes the beating of & ghostly
drum was said to haunt the place
with its sound on each recurring
15th of April, but as the surround
ing wood was the home of hundreds
of woodpeckers the mystery was
easily explained. New .York Press.
