Captain J. n. Armstrong, now in
command ofthe bark Kalakaua, load.
ing lumber at Port Blakely for the
west coast of South America, was in
Seattle few days ago. Captain Arm.
strong will be remembered as the com
mander who brought the ship, Tenn
plar, from New York to San Francis
co few years ago on one of the most
remarkable passages on record. After
being out for some time the captain
went into a foreign port, and for some
reason his crew, excepting the OF.
fcers left. Finally two English
ships came in, and from them Cap.
tain Armstrong made up a new
crew, and after being out four days
the entire crew, including the captain
and his daughter, were taken down
with yellow fever. The first mate
died, and several of the sailors. Those
who had the disease less violent threw
the dead overheard one by one. The
ship drifted about without pilot or
navigator for more than year. The
captain for two years was so violent
from the ravages OF the fever that he
had to be chained to the deck to keep
him from jumping overheard. He
wears the scars from the chains and
lashings to this day. During the year
that the ship drifted about the second
mate and three or four of the sailors
recovered, but being out of sight O
land and not understanding naviga
ton, they were powerless to do any.
thing with the ship. Finally the daugh
ter regained her reason, but not her
strength. One day she sent for the
second mate and asked him to carry
her on deck, which he did. She Their
sent for her fathers instruments, and
by the aid of these and her knowledge
of navigation she figured out the loca
ton OF the vessel. She then took the
charts from the cabin and traced out
a route to San Francisco. She then
practically took command OF the YES
sci and ordered the second mate and
surviving members of the crew to
make sail, and gave them the direc
ton in which to sail. Every day fol-
months she would be carried on deck
to take the sun and give orders.
Days and weeks passed and the ship
continued on her journey Being so
light-handed vessel could not be prop
erly handled and could carry but little
sail, consequently her progress was
slow. After many weary, dreary
months the Captain regained his rea
son, and when he learned OF what his
daughter had done, he was greatly
surprised and declared that had he
been placed in the same position he
could not have done better. The
ship was loaded with general mer-
chandise, the cargo being insured for
over 100000. The long absence OF
the ship, and no tidings from her, led
the owners and all interested parties
to believe that she, with all hands on
board, had been lost. Imagine their
surprise, after the supposed fate OF the
ship had almost passed from their
minds, when one bright day in sum.
mer the ship Templar, with her cargo
all intact, came sailing into San Fran,
cisco bay.
