Capt. Isaac and Ruth Holden had other children, as fol- lows: David, Ambrose, Selwin, Milly, Dorcas, of whom I have not found particulars beyond their names.
HORACE, the eldest s. of Phineas, had a somewhat checkered career. After a boyhood of hardships, helping his widowed mother to care for a large family, he shipped at 21 upon a whaling voyage on board the vessel "Mentor," Capt. Edward C. Barnard, bound for the Indian Ocean and Pacific. The cruise in the first-named waters proved uneventful, but in attempting to pass through the Simon Strait into the Pacific Ocean, a furious storm arose and the ship was wrecked upon a reef extending north and east of the Pewlin Islands. Two of the boats were smashed and eleven of the crew drowned in a vain attempt to escape. On the next morning, May 21, 1832, the rest of the crew succeeded in reaching in the remaining boat a section of dry reef three miles from the wreck. Remaining here a day, subsisting on an eel and a few crabs they caught, the shipwrecked sailors started to row to a distant island, when they were sur- rounded by about thirty canoes filled with natives. These of- fered to tow them to the nearest land, but, while accepting their offer, the sailors finally became so suspicious of the islanders that they cut their boat adrift, and again began to buffet the ocean in a wild attempt to escape their enemies. In this they were success-

ful, though it was a hard night's row and they were forty miles from their starting point before they came to an island, where they gladly went ashore. This place proved to be inhabited, and the strange, dusky people treated them with apparent friendli- ness, even helping them to build a boat by which they might make another effort to escape. But this boat soon sprung a leak, so they were only too glad to return to land. The frail craft was repaired, but even then some of the sailors declined to leave the island in it, so it was finally decided that three should remain behind, while as many natives should accompany the lit- tle party that was about to brave the perils of the sea in a row boat, these natives going as a sort of guarantee that the seamen should be well treated. Setting out on this lonely trip, with pro- visions for two weeks, day after day passed without bringing into sight the longed-for sail of some friendly ship; another vio- lent storm overtook them, and their boat capsized and the re- mainder of their provisions were lost. This was the fifteenth day since they had left the island, and it proved that they were close upon the shore of another of the sea-girt worlds that dot the Pacific like the droppings from a prodigal hand. Again they were washed ashore, as much dead as alive, and again thrown into the power of savages, these proving more barbarous than any they had previously met. In fact, they were treated as cap- tives here, and put to hard work with only scanty fare. Soon tir- ing of them, the natives began to set them adrift in some old canoe, one by one, until only Holden and one of the three na- tives who had come with them were left of all the party. Fin- ally they were set adrift upon what seemed a voyage of death. But Providence favored them, and reaching a distant shore they subsisted upon roots, leaves and occasionally a bit of cocoanut for over two months, and it was not until Nov. 27, 1834, two years after their first shipwreck, that they were picked up by an English bark, the "Britanica," Capt. Henry Short, and conveyed to Canton, China. There a Mr. Stephen Oliphant, a merchant from New York, treated them friendly, and sent Mr. Holden to America on one of his vessels, so he reached New York, May 5, 1835. He had parted with many regrets with his native com- panion, who was anxious to return to his island home. Nothing

In 1838 he sailed with another to the Hawaiian Islands, planning to engage in the pro- duction of silk. This proved unprofitable, and he went to Ore- gon, where he remained until 1848, and then rem. to San Fran- cisco, but the climate not proving beneficial to his wife's health, he ret. to H. to settle down to a peaceful life.
