from Sutton Pool to Butt's Head Mill, a point two miles above Saltash.

Ann's husband fell ill and was long confined to bed, and the house and
then the whole burden of supporting the family fell to her. But she
had strong arms and a stouter heart, and managed not only to keep the
wolf from the door, but the doctor as well.

"Have you got a doctor here, or have you to send over to Plymouth for
one?" she was asked.

"Well, I believe there may be one here, but, thank God, here us most
commonly dies a natural death."

Ann's fame as a rower at regattas spread throughout England. Some sixty
or seventy years ago the crew of Saltash women was one of the most
important features, not only in the Hamoaze, but all over the county
wherever aquatic sports were given. She always rowed stroke. It was very
rarely that Ann and her crew were beaten in a match--never by other
women. The strength and endurance of these women, and their daring in
accepting challenges and in the contests on the water, attracted
universal attention. They competed for prizes at Hull, Liverpool,
Portsmouth, Dartmouth, etc., and it must not be supposed that a male
crew yielded the palm to them out of masculine courtesy, for the men did
not at all relish being beaten by a "parcel o' females," as they were
sure to have the fact thrown in their teeth afterwards.

Mrs. Harriet Screech, a daughter of Ann Glanville, rowed along with her
mother in some of these contests, pulling the bow-oar, the least arduous
post, assigned to her as the youngest of the crew. When engaged in a
match at Fleetwood before the Queen, they gave the men so sound a
beating that Her Majesty requested to have Ann presented to her.

But the most famous event of her life took place in 1850, when Captain
Russell, of H.M.S. _Brunswick_, suggested to her that she and her crew
should go over to Havre to the regatta there and challenge the Johnny
Crapauds. She was quite prepared, and started under the escort of
Captain Russell.
