I called the chief officer and quietly asked him where the breakers were. "Right there, Sir," he said. But nothing could be seen by either of us. I made no com- ments, but, three hours after, tacked ship in shore again. One hour and a half later, daylight came, and the land was 20 miles off.
I think the chief officer's breakers were a school of por- poises playing, or else, in his imagination, he pictured them. He was an excellent officer, but that organ was largely developed.
After a fair passage of 40 days, we anchored in the port of Callao, 20 days ahead of time, so our $3 per ton on our charter home was saved. As soon as we received our custom house visit, I went on shore to the American consul's office for our letters. On reading the owners' I found our drafts on Morgan & Sons, New York, had been protested. This troubled me some, but the owners wrote that I had done right in selling the cargo, and would advise me by next mail.
The port of Callao is a splendid harbor, capable of hold- ing a large number of ships. The anchorage is good, fine
148

weather, and no anxiety as to the squalls or storms. We found a large fleet of fine American and foreign ships, almost all of large tonnage. Some were loaded and out- ward bound, others, getting ready to sail for the famous Chincha Islands, to take in their guano cargoes. These were the days when our flag floated out to the breeze in almost every foreign port, and on every ocean, and which, a few years later, our fearful civil war blighted almost out of existence, so that, today, a full-rigged American ship is a rare sight. These were also the days of big freights-our guano charter home to Hampton Roads, for orders, this voyage was either $22 or $24 per ton.
Callao was also one of the hardest ports in the world at this time for sailors. In many instances they were bought and sold for the time being at a nominal price by the sailor, runners and shipping masters, who handled them. The laws of Peru were lax and the officials winked at many transactions, so that this class of men had full swing. The first night in, we set the customary anchor watch of one man, and I did not worry myself about any of our crew running away. Some time during the night a runner got on board, went into the forecastle and spun Jack a nice yarn about going up to Lima on the train to see a bull fight, and stopping at the hotel and going into the country on a picnic. So nice a picture was too much for Jack, and he swallowed the runner's bait and sailed away. At daylight when the mate called all hands, we found that 10 of our crew had deserted. These men left . behind them, in wages due, the snug sum of $749.86, which they forfeited by running away. I have gone into this port, some voyages, feeling obliged to keep the third offi- cer walking the forecastle with a musket all night, so that no one could leave, but in our case I did not suppose that any of my crew would be so foolish as to run, after being on board nearly eight months, and in the last port discharged 1525 tons of coal and taken on board over 400 tons of ballast. These men were probably taken on board some outward bound ship without ever seeing the shore, with $90 advance wages against their names on the ship-

ping articles; if not taken on shore and dumped down through a trap door into some dark hole to await orders from the shipping masters.
What inducement could such men, having nothing due them, and working out a dead horse, to try, unless driven to it, to save a disabled or leaky ship on the homeward passage ?
Our ship was at the Chincha Islands loading when the next mail arrived, but our letters from home brought the good news that the drafts had been paid. The reason of the stopping of the payment was because the owners felt that the ship was entitled to the full amount of freight, as per charter party, $14 per ton, the balance to go as far as it would towards paying for the coal ; the shipper looked at it in a different light, and the interested parties met, talked the matter over, and it was settled in this manner, viz: ship to receive 14-22 of the $26,688, amount the cargo sold for; the shipper of the coal to receive 8-22 of that amount.
Five months later the vessel arrived in New York, and the owner advised me to make up and present our claim for short payment. The cargo sold for $26,688, and had we received what the charter party called for, it would have been $6862 more; adding 20 per cent damages for short payment made the amount of our claim $8234. With Mr. Hecksier, the owner of the coal, who was acquainted with all the interested parties, we started to make our call.
Commodore Vanderbilt's office then was in a two-and- one-half-story building facing the lower part of Broadway, near the Battery and South Ferry. . Upon reaching the office, the doorkeeper took our cards and in a very short time we were ushered into the inner sanctum, and intro- duced as the captain of the coal ship. The commodore. received us very courteously, and we stated our business, banding him the claim which he looked over and laid on his table, and then commenced questioning me rapidly, as to how I succeeded with Walker's crowd, what he was doing, state of the country, and many other inquiries, which I cannot recall. One thing I remember, the in-
150
SALEM VESSELS AND THEIR VOYAGES
formation he gained from me seemed to please him very much, as I answered all his questions open handed and frankly, and he asked how I would like a steamship. I replied that I would have to go to school again and learn the tactics all over. This conversation continued about three-quarters of an hour, when he closed the interview, inviting us to call again, he naming the date.
We left, feeling that it looked very favorable in relation to the claim. On the day appointed we made our second call, and was received in the same courteous manner. I was sharply questioned again in relation to Walker's do- ings in Nicaragua for half an hour, and then he referred us to a Mr. Cross, I think a son-in-law, whose office was in the second story of the same building. We called at once, stating that the commodore had referred us to him. He promptly told us that the owners of the ship should consider themselves very fortunate with the results of the voyage, as it now stood, and declined to accept our claim. We left much disappointed at the sudden turn of the tide.
Our claim, with the two ships that preceded us, was put into a lawyer's hands, with the understanding that they should receive 25 per cent of any money collected, and there it remains till this day.

SALEM SHIP REMINISCENCES.
The late Captain William Beadle of Duxbury, a native of Salem and a retired shipmaster, wrote, in 1907, an acknowledgment of the receipt of a calendar of the Asiatic National Bank of Salem (now merged in the Naumkeag Trust Company). A sketch of Captain Beadle was pub- lished in the second series of "Salem Vessels and Their Voyages." The letter was addressed to President George H. Allen and Cashier William O. Chapman of the Asiatic, It will surely delight the heart of everyone in any way connected with the commercial history of Salem. Captain Beadle wrote as follows:
"Duxbury (on the Bay), Mass., January 5, 1907.
"The calendar arrived this morning, and you will please accept my sincere thanks for it. The America, her his- tory, and those connected with her, bring a thrill of pride to me, when spoken of or in sight. I heard her history many years ago, and had the spot pointed out to me where she lay, tied up, many years. It is at the head of what is now Phillips wharf, on that side next the railway, where vessels were taken out of the water to be repaired.
"Reading the account of her history on the back of the calendar brings to my memory Capt. Holten J. Breed, who occupied a pew nearly opposite to the one I used to sit in at the Universalist Church in Rust Street. I think he was grandfather to George H. Perkins and other boys of my acquaintance. Captain Caulfield was also known to me. In summer time, during my vacation, he would daily corne to the end of Phillips wharf in the shade with Capt. John Francis, John Sage, my grandfather and oth- ers, and talk of the past.
"Captain Caulfield sailed for Mr. Sage's father, and Mr. Sage was mate, but would never take command. He was always averse to spare spars, and Captain Caulfield believed in them. On one occasion they lost some of their
152
SALEM VESSELS AND THEIR VOYAGES
top-hamper, and the spare spars came in handy ; and after that Mr. Sage had nothing to say against them.
"Captain Chever was wharfinger for S. C. Phillips. He was a small but very pleasant man, much respected by almost everyone. My grandfather and father spoke very highly of him, and being about the wharf as much as I was in those days, I saw him quite frequently. He lost his money by coffee, as others made theirs by it. He came home with a cargo and it brought only eight cents a pound.
"In reading about the speed of the America, it is won- derful how those old-fashioned vessels developed speed ; they were short, with much beam and not much depth, yet they would go through the water.
"My first voyage was in the barque Losco, belonging to Captain Bertram and others,-225 tons, single deck, straight on the rail, and, on the wind, she would throw seas to the foremast, and in the lee-scuppers there was a steady stream of water with the lee-ports open to let it out. I have frequently hauled in the log-line when she was recling off 111/2 knots. Capt. John Lambert was master, and Philip Morant was mate. The next voyage she stayed at Zanzibar.
"One morning, at 7 o'clock, while off Cape of Good Hope, in the Marigo, Capt. John C. Pond, a sudden squall with a shift of wind struck her, and Captain Pond, after it was all over, said, "I expected we were gone." It was a case of "all hands" and quick work at that. She was one of the Donald McKay clipper barges, owned by Michael W. Shepard, Wm. W. Goodhue, George H. Allen, John C. Pond, of Salem, and some Boston parties. She was formerly the Henry Hill, and was built for the Medi- terranean trade. She was like a pilot-boat, drew 51/2 feet more water aft than she did forward; so when the squall struck her abeam and threw her over and hauling aft, her speed through the water, acting on her helm, her forefoot being so much nearer the surface than her heel, and round- ing as it did, her bow swung off, allowing her to right, and all hands had the "duck" off of her in no time. The
153

lower maintopsail split at the middle of the foot, so that had to be taken in. We carried the upper maintopsail, the lower foretopsail, foresail and foretopmast staysail, and from 8 A. M. until noon she ran 60 miles-15 miles an hour. Frank Rogers was mate, and the writer was sec- ond mate. But take her in a light wind and it would take a three-knot breeze to make her steer. We were 58 days coming from Muscat to Zanzibar, and the owners were much worried about her and got extra insurance on her and cargo.
"A sailor set her on fire the night before Christmas, 1865. We were going to sail for home at daylight in the morning. The Glide was one month ahead of us through- out the voyage, but Captain Bertram had news of the burning of the Marigo before the Glide arrived in Salem.
"The America was originally 114 feet long, 30 feet beam, 15 feet 4 inches deep, 14 feet 3 inches draft. The Glide was 129 feet long, 29 feet beam, and 17 feet deep. So you see there was not much difference in tonnage, the Glide being a trifle short of 492 tons, the America being 473 tons. The America's greatest speed was 13 knots; the Glide's was about 12 knots. Coming home in the N. E. trades on one occasion, the Glide went 1228 miles in five days. The next year I thought I would try that locality again, and ran 1238 miles in five days. Maury wrote: "If you have a six-knot breeze in the N.E. trades, you have a very strong trade." Perhaps he would have thought the Glide had a stronger trade.
"I am under the impression that the Glide was the most prosperous vessel Captain Bertram owned; running safely during our Civil War to Zanzibar, Aden, Muscat and Madagascar. She, with the Storm King (later the Natal), carried very valuable cargoes of spices, ivory, hides, goat- skins, gum copal, ebony, coir, dates, senna, gum arabic, Mocha coffee, etc., all being in much demand, and he having it all his own way, she must have reaped a fortune for him.
"When William Hollingsworth Hathorne was her mate, with Capt. John McMullin, the day before she sailed, lying
5
154
SALEM VESSELS AND THEIR VOYAGES
alongside of the end of Phillips wharf, a southeast squall of wind struck her, and she carecned so I thought she would put her yardarms on the wharf. She had hare poles, not a stitch of canvas on her, and no money would have tempted me to have gone in her. I never expected to hear of her after she sailed. That was in 1865.
"In 1870 I went out mate of her, with Captain Jim Williams ; in 1876, master, and had her until 1883. Once, off the northeast end of Zanzibar, one morning at 7 o'clock a descending squall struck her, so I had to call all hands and take everything but the lower topsails off of her, as I was afraid she would roll over. No doubt you feel as if you had been several voyages, and feel quite salted, so I will close in order that you may escape seasickness.
"I remain, sincerely, William Beadle."
GLEANINGS FROM A RECORD OF SHIPS, OWNED BY THE LATE GIDEON TUCKER.
The late Francis A. Newell, City Treasurer of Salem, loaned the writer a most valuable book, containing the names of the officers and crews on several vessels owned by the late Gideon Tucker of Salem. The book is remark- ably well preserved, and the penmanship is clear and handsome. The time covered is from Dec. G, 1820, through June 3, 1845. I have looked through the list, and I find there the names of many who aferwards be- came shipmasters or were prominent in home affairs.
In the book are recorded twelve voyages of the ship Janus, twenty of the brig Olinda, fourteen of the brig Abby M., nine of the brig Augusta, four of the brig Cen- turion, three of the brig Rolund, three of the brig Sicily, two of the brig Nera, and one of the brig Ariel.
The masters were: Capt. Win. Brown and Capt. Henry G. Bridges of the ship Janus; Capt. Richard Wheatland, Jr., Capt. Daniel H. Mansfield, Capt. James King, Jr.,
155
BY GEORGE GRANVILLE PUTNAM
Capt. Samuel Hutchinson, of the brig Olinda; Capt. Richard Wheatland, Jr., Capt. Nathaniel Ingersoll, and Capt. Samuel Hutchinson of the brig Abby M .; Capt. Jacob Lec, Capt. Samuel Page and Capt. Seth Rogers of the brig Augusta; Capt. Samuel Hutchinson of the brig Centurion ; Capt. John Ingersoll, Jr., of the brig Rotund and brig Sicily; Capt. Asa Burnam of the brig Neva; and Capt. Jobn Ingersoll of the brig Ariel.
It was pleasing to note the promotions in the foregoing list, from boy to seaman, to second mate, mate, and master. Among the officers I recognize as those having sailed as masters in other employs, Capt. Brackley R. Peabody, Capt. Joseph Hammond, Capt. Nathaniel Andrew, Capt. Henry B. Manning, Capt. Charles Hoffman, Capt. Daniel M. Marshall, Capt. James Gilbert, Jr., Capt. William Richardson, Capt. Nehemiah M. Andrews, Capt. Anthony D. Caulfield, Jr., Capt. James Fairfield, Capt. Jesse F. Potter, Capt. William E. Allen, and Capt. Daniel H. Bray. Probably there are many others who would be quickly recognized by another person perusing the lists.
John Felt is recorded as second mate of the brig Olinda, Capt. Samuel Hutchinson, master, which sailed April 17, 1843, for Montevideo and a market. His age is stated to be 29.
John Battis was a cabin boy on the brig Centurion, Capt. Samuel Hutchinson, master, on a voyage to South America in 1831. Brackley R. Peabody was the mate, and he was afterwards a shipmaster for many years, and the father of ex-Councilman George L. Peabody of Salem. Mr. Battis narrowly escaped with his life when the brig Mexican was captured by pirates the next year. He was the father of the late Edward C. Battis, Esq., of the law firm of Raymond & Battis.
