		But the “considerable expence” Gridley had incurred went for nought; in late 1763 the Board of Trade refused his petition, apparently because a general policy for the Gulf fisheries had not then been decided upon.
		Undaunted, Gridley continued to frequent the islands; in 1765 he, four sons, and 22 Canadians and Acadians fished there during the summer.
		Gridley was not, however, involved only in the fishery; in 1772 he was operating an iron smelter at Stoughtonham (Sharon) in Massachusetts.

		Gridley came close shortly afterwards with a shot just past the near post but Ben Gridley got the second for Regis when Charlie Phipps slotted through a lovely ball into the path of Gridley who rounded the keeper and placed the ball in the back of the net from an acute angle after 26 minutes.
		Richard Baker had the best chance to extend the Regis lead, but somehow managed to sky the ball over the bar when being just a few feet from the goal line - it was most probably harder to miss the goal than put the ball into the net.
		Ben Gridley sent over the corner that was partially cleared towards the rear of the penalty box where Wetherell deftly controlled the ball and powered the ball into the back of the net leaving the Bearsted keeper little time to react.

		Richard, who was now in a professor's house in London, was able to be with us less frequently than before; my guardian still maintained the same reserve; and so time passed until the commission was obtained and Richard received directions with it to join a regiment in Ireland.
		It was strange to me that Richard should not be able to forgive my guardian for entertaining the very same opinion of him which he himself had expressed of himself in much stronger terms to me. But it was certainly the case.
		Richard and I were making our way through it, and I was yet in the first chill of the late unexpected recognition when I saw, coming towards us, but not seeing us, no less a person than Mr.
