Excerpt from Tripoli the Mysterious The Hercules, filled from stem to stern with Italian subjects, sailed next day; and, late on September 28, thirteen battleships came into the harbour, one after the other, in stately line, each proudly flying the Italian flag, and all brought into spectacular relief by brilliant 'african sunshine lighting the magnificent array with its level westering beams. The sight created a profound impression, not only upon native and Turkish inhabitants, but upon the few remaining Europeans as well.

Mabel was born on November 10, 1856 in Cambridge, Massachussets. She was the daughter of Eben Jenks and Mary Alden (Wilder) Loomis, and a descendant of Joseph Loomis who emigrated in 1638 to Dorchester.
Her father, by profession a mathematician and astronomer, was by temperament a poet-naturalist, a friend of Thoreau, Whitman, Burroughs, and Joaquin Miller.
She attended private schools in Washington and Boston, and spent one year in Washington society.
In 1881 her husband was appointed professor of astronomy and director of the observatory at Amherst College, where Mrs. Todd gave herself without stint to the enrichment of her surroundings. She taught music and painting in two private schools for girls, sang in the village church, and made her home a center for lovers of music and literature. With William Austin Dickinson, treasurer of the college, she worked effectually to promote the tasteful development of both public grounds and private estates; through him also she came to know his secluded poet-sister Emily.
The Boston Authors' Club originated in her house, and she took a leading part in founding several other clubs, including the Mary Mattoon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Amherst Historical Society, for which she obtained permanent headquarters and the nucleus of a valuable historical collection. For the college she secured the gift of Observatory House, where she and her husband made their home from 1898 to 1917, and she was instrumental in raising funds for a new observatory.
After 1890 she was increasingly in demand as lecturer on astronomy, literature, travel, or local history. She accompanied her husband on astronomical expeditions to Japan (1887, 1896), Tripoli (1900, 1905), the Dutch East Indies (1901), Chile (1907), and Russia (1914), sending back accounts of her experiences for publication in the Nation, the Century, and other magazines. In 1887 she was the first woman to climb Fuji-san on foot, and on her second trip to Japan she made a pioneer collection of Ainu artifacts, now in the Peabody Museum, Salem.
Her publications include a work of popular science, Total Eclipses of the Sun (1894); two books of travel, Corona and Coronet (1898) and Tripoli the Mysterious (1912); Footprints (1883), a novelette; A Cycle of Sonnets (1896), edited for her friend Clara E. H. Whitton-Stone; an edition of J. D. Steele's Popular Astronomy (1899); and A Cycle of Sunsets (1910).
Her most memorable service to American letters was begun about 1886-87 when she undertook to prepare for publication the poems of Emily Dickinson. Twelve hundred or more lyrics were found, some of them "copied" with variant readings puzzlingly indicated in the margin, others obscurely scrawled on odd scraps of paper. Mrs. Todd performed single-handed the arduous task of transcribing and arranging these chaotic papers, a work calling for the most sympathetic and conscientious interpretation of the writer's intention. With Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, she brought out two series of Poems by Emily Dickinson in 1890 and 1891, and was alone responsible for a third series in 1896. Meanwhile she had collected and edited the Letters of Emily Dickinson (2 vols. , 1894), enlarged in 1931. Mrs. Todd's correspondence with her co-editor reveals the care she took to establish an accurate text, comparing each poem in proof with the original manuscript and sometimes resisting, though not always with success, Higginson's impulses to "correct" what Emily had written. Her years of hard work brought Emily Dickinson triumphantly before the world and saved the larger portion of the poet's writing from possible loss or slovenly editing.
An alienation from the Dickinson family after Austin's death in 1895 unfortunately prevented Mrs. Todd from completing the work and postponed for many years the publication of the remaining poems.
In Florida, where she spent the winters after 1917, she continued to found organizations for social betterment, to write articles, to lecture, and to encourage all efforts toward culture in the youthful city of Miami. Until the day she died from a second cerebral stroke as she was preparing to leave her summer home on Hog Island, Me. , her tireless industry was unchecked. On her gravestone in Wildwood Cemetery, Amherst, a carved panel of Indian pipes commemorates her friendship with Emily Dickinson, for whom she originally painted the flowers, and her invaluable services as the poet's editor and earliest interpreter.
