At the “ingathcrlng" of their; first harvest in 1621, the people who had come from the old one to establish a New England, held o. service and cele- bration. Governor Bradford sent out four men to shoot wild fowl, and they ixrgged enough, mostly turkey, accord- ing to the ehronlciers, to satisfy all the company for about a week.

Edward Winslow, one of the May- (lowefa company, thus wrote or‘ tho celebration to an English friend :-—-

"Our harvest being gotten in our governor sent four mun on fowling so that we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors.

"They four lIi one day killed as many fowl its, with u. little healde, served the company almost a. week, at which time, amongst other recrta-
