  Not so peaceful were these shores during the War of 1812, as a British cannon ball now in the possession of Mrs. Charles Lathrop Pack, but long buried not far from Ebenezer Hatch's ferry, give evidence. It is the souvenir of an eventual night when a British war craft sighted, as its crew supposed, through the mists of the night an American boat near the shore, and determined on capture or destruction, sent at intervals throughout the night, their most telling cannon balls, only to find at the dawn that their ammunition had been wasted on a huge bowlder off the coast which still stood sentinel unharmed by the onslaught. (The Cannon ball was found on the farm of Mr. Homer Knight, given by him to Mr. C. L. Parmenter of Montpelier, came to Mrs. Pack from Mr. Parmenter.)
