Hull History, Part 2

February 10, 1911:

--Everybody is going to the Jordan party.

Yep, that's the whole thing.  End of story, apparently.

--The roof blew off the new quarters at Fort Strong during the last storm.  It takes the architect, contractor, and an army officer to look after the building, and then to have the roof blown off the very first thing.  It shows how well they all did their work.

Oh, for 1911 when sarcasm had a place in journalism!

--Capt. Sparrow, in boarding a distressed vessel in the gale, had to come back to Hull to get a ladder to go aboard the vessel.

Wait, there's the door.  I think it's Johnny Depp in dreadlocks, here to borrow a ladder.
