how Captain Morse came to be called the "Hcr.
cules Of the West" In 1871, Morse was first
officer Of the P. NJ. S. s. America, running be.
tween Shanghai and San Francisco. One
day when The vessel was half way between
Yokohama and Shanghai, the butcher and his
assistants took a large California steer out Of
its pen, meaning to slaughter it. Breaking
from them it started down one Of the broad
passages leading to the cabin, at that time
w4\flled by ladies and children. Fortunately
Mate Morse took in the situation and was
near enough to grasp it, The case was one o
taking the bull by the horns, and 'the III. OF

hour and enough pretty women shook hauds
with him 10 make the purser and the doctor
