Andrew McCa>lin and his wife Abigail We're
born i'll the town of renobscot and had family
| Of seven children, all of whom We're born in that
town, and are alive today, but no two in the
same section of the world. About forty-tve
years ago the family began to break up. Mr..
| Mct alSln and his wife have both been dead for
some years and of the children, one lives in
Maine. one in Massachusetts, one in Wisconsin,
one in California and three iii China. The lives
OF these nave IN many respects been fuil of in
tcrc>ting events. Reuben, when boy about
sixteen years Old. sailed away in Ship. After
he had been gone quite a number of years, Capt.
Neazic. of Belfast, Maine. who was accompa-
MED by his Wife, an aunt of Reuben, wrecked
his ship on 4 sunken ledge i'll the Chinese
waters. The danger Of the breaking up Of the
ship, and all hands pcri>hmg was very great,
but The danger from pirates was still greater,
when a steamer hove in sight bearing the flag
Of Chinese mail-of-war. She bore down up
on the wreck, hove to, and threw out boat
which came alongside of the wreck. and Chi
ne>e ofcer dressed in the robes of high manda-
rim climbed the side and stepped among the anN-
iou> crowd. The first Saluaion he gave was Il
quick putting out of his hand to Mrs. Neazie.
