"Old Scituate
Lighthouse isn't a unique structure but as with each light the story
is unique. The light keepers often had to travel for a day or more to
get supplies. When they went they would leave their children to tend
the light. Abigail and Rebecca Bates were under 12 years old when they
were left home to tend the light. They looked up from their lighthouse
duties and saw a British war ship. The small boats were already
launched full of British troops. The girls ran into the woods and
played their fife and drum as loud as they could. The people in town
heard this, saw the warship but were helpless due to distance to get
to the lighthouse before the British. The British heard the fife and
drum and thought the American troops were ready for them so they
turned and sailed off. The girls were dubbed the youngest Army of two
in the war of 1812. Enjoy, Elaine"
