The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-04-23

SAaub VI tudb tOWus llS was concerned WiLh
several vessels both in the Amerian and coast
ing trades. Miss Betsy, before she went to sea,
acted as "ship's husband" to her father, and,
seeing how the eaptian in many cases behaved,
her romantic aud adventurous spirit impelled
her to 90 to sea herself.
Her father gratfied her canrices and gave her
the command Of the Clcetus, which she holds
to the present day, aud she has Weathered the
storms Of the deep when many commanders Of
the other sex have been driven to pieces on the
rocks. Her position aud attitudes on the quar-
ter deck in a gale of wind are often spoken Of
and would do credit to an admiral. We must
not omit to state that during the long period Of
this singular young lady's diversified voyagiug,
no seaman Of her crew or officer under her COM
moud, could speak otherwise than with the
greatest respect. The CietaS, is we'll known
in the ports Of Belfast, Dublin, Cork, &c., &C.
She has often been driven into this loch, and is
iamiliarly known among the rude Highland
boatmen as 'lnloig Inish Captain boriu, i. e.,
the ship with the she captain. .--Scstck paper.
