It is said of him that he carried an anchor for a wager that weighed 500 pounds, 30 feet on a wharf. It was raised to his shoulder, & he walked the 30 feet. Said he did not breathe while the anchor was on his shoulder, & his feet burst through his thin shoes, which were new. This was all the harm done. He gained the bet & lived until he was 97 years old.
