Population in 1860, 1,387; in 1865, money may be necessary for the payment of State aid to the families of volunteers belonging to Acushnet. 1863. No action appears to have been necessary for the town, in its official capacity, to fity authorities of New Bedford, to have a portion of their surplus of volunteers transferred to Acushnet, under the pending call. The arrangement was made; but it was subsequently ascertained that the men so transferred rightly belonged to Acushnet, they having enlisted in the navy from that town. The town voted to pay a bounty of one hundred and twenty-five dollars to each volunteer who should present call be assessed at the next annual assessment. The selectmen in 1866 reported that Acushnet had furnished one hundred and six men for the war, which is probably thirty less than the actua

York, was born there, I August, 1819. The early death of his father and the loss of the family fortune having narrowed Melville's chances for higher schooling to a few months in the Albany Classical School, he turned his hand to farming for a year, shipped before the mast to Liverpool in 1837, taught school from 1837-40, and in January, 1841, sailed from New Bedford on a whaling voyage into the Pacific. Upon the experiences of that voyage his principal work is founded. The captain of the Acushnet, it seems, treated the crew badly, and Melville, with the companion whom he calls Toby, escaped from the ship to the Island of Nukuheva [Nukahiva] in the Marquesas and strayed into the cannibal valley Typee [Taipi], where the, savages kept Melville for four months in an indulgent captivity.

After some months
