More than half q century ago William
Tolinan sailed on whaling ship bound
for the northern seas. The ship was dis
abled and put into Kainchatka for re-
tair~. Mr.. Tolman was . master me.
.,lanic. and No well pleascd were the
inhabitants with his work Of repairing
the disabled ship that the authorities of
On. place induced him to stay. A few
years after he married . Russian girl.
BY whom he had q daughter and two
sons. When the daughter WAS eleven
years old her father sent her to America
ON whaler In charge Of the captain.
The ship put into the port Of New Lon.
don. Conn. and the captain sent word
90 the girls relatives In western New
York. who came to New London by
team and took her 10 their home. After.
ward she. with relatives, came TO Michi.

The girl grew 70 womanhood. married
an Episcopal clergyman namei Dunn.
aud settled down In Lawrence. Kan.
For iifty years Mr.. Dunn never heard q

pris~d when the subject of the crar aid
he once knew William TolmAn. her
father. and two brothers. He said that
Mr. TolmAn was dead. but that the sons
were alive. but very poor. One OF them.
he told her. was trapIsr.
The Russian gave Mrs Dunn their
address and she wrote 10 them. sending
them clothing and many useful pre-
ents. In due time she got letter from
one brother. the frst for over fifty year.
The letter was passed around among
the relatives. Yesterday w. 7. Hes.
