HIS LASY LOG.
Captain James Bendry. One OF the
Early NayigatOrs OF Lake Su-
periOr, Dies Suddenly at
His Home III
Baraga.
biography of the Deceased.

Captain James Bendry, one OF the
early navigators Of Lake Superior and
founder Of the village OF Baraga. passed
away peacefully from the scenes and
turmoil OF life at his home in Baraga,
after very brief illness, Sunday morn
ing, Oct. 14th, at 10 o'clock. The i'm
mediate cause OF death was pneumonia.
James Bendry was born at Woo.ten-
Bassett, Wiltshire, England, June q,
1922. Being OF u restive disposition ne
left hcme at the early age Of IL years aud
engaged as cabin boy on a merchant ship
engaged in the Mediterranean trade. In
1858 he shipped 10 the American mer-
chant service, and sailed between Liver
pool, New Orleans and the West Indies;
also sailed TO Africa aud various foreign
countries. In 1854. he came to America
and engaged ia sailing on tho great
lakes until shipwrecked off New Buffalo
while Oh the brig Indiana. Not long
after this incident, and In the summer
OF 1S45 he found his way to the Sault,
and engaged as deck hara on the steam
er Independence. This was the first
steamer that ever piled the waters of
Lake Superior, and as it was pretty late
in the season she made but one trip that
year, running from the Sault to La Point,
and discharging part of her cargo of
freight and passengers at Eagle River.
Marquette and Ontonagon were then un-
known, and the old Cliff mine was the
only copper mine then working. Among
the passengers and crew OF this historical
first trip OF the Independence were {. {.
Douglas and family named Spencer;
Albert Averill, captain. Samuel Moody.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1894-10-20

chief mate, Thomas Ritchie. chief engin-
eer, Rufus Durham. assistant engineer,
Capt. Stannard, pilot, Lewis Marvill,
steward, and man named Stafford as
cook. The Independence went into
winter quarters at the Sault and Mr..
Bendry remained there with her.
In 1Sis Mr.. Bendry was married at the
Sault to a Chippewa woman Of superior
attainments and intelligence by whom
he had eleven children, Of which only 6
are now living.
Late in the fall of 1850 MIR. Bendry
contemplated trip up the lake ia the
little schooner Sskowit, which he then
owned, but fearing that he would not be
able to return before spring Mrs. Bendry
determined to accompany him on The
trip and take along their two children.
When off Keweenaw point they were
compelled to seek shelter from terrible
storm and put into what is now L'Anse
bay. The next morning ice had formed
all around their craft so that they were
obliged to go into Water quarters there.
They built log cabin on the shore Of
this bay ON the present site of the village
of Baraga, where they lived all winter,
and OH returning to the Sault the next
Spring Mr.. Bendry entered the land at
the u. s. land Office. We believe that
Mr.. BoDdry has resided continuously at
Baraga since the winter Of 1850. and for
twenty years was supervisor Of his town
ship after 1t was organized.
Mr.. Bendry was always very active
man and from 1850 up to within few
years OF his death he was engaged IN
various enterprises. He built saw mill
at Baraga, purchased and operated
one at L'Anse, purchased and operated
brick yard near LAnse, and for a
number OF years prior to the completion
OF the Portage canal he was very profit
ably engaged In the carrying OF freight
from Portage Entry to the copper mines
of Portage lake. This traffic was carried
on by means Of scews and light draft
tugs. At times business was so pressing
that Mr.. Bendry would remain at the
wheel continuously from SO to 4s hours
with only such sleep as he could catch at
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1894-10-20

intervals when the plotting was not very
difficult; aud 1t is even asserted that he
had his boat so well trained TO the sinuous
course OF Portage river land old naviga-
tors know what that was) that she would
run herself when Bendry wanted a nap
and tow scow without touching bank
or shoal.
So accurate was he as a navigator that
In sailing from the Sault to Portage
Entry. before the days Of lighthouses
and other accessories to navigation,
many times through dense fogs or blind
ing snow storms, he had record Of
never varying more than two points Of
the compass from his course. His un-
selfish enterprise Is proverbial, and is
fully exemplified IN the fact that he was
the chief promoter OF the Portage canal,
Notwithstanding It's construction cost
him the most profitable business Of his
life.
Mr.. Bendry owned the land upon
which the present village Of L'Anse now
stands and was large shareholder in
the townsite company. After the COM
pletlon of the railroad to this place he
was elso part owner Of the steamer
lvanhoe, which piled between L'Anse
and Hought0n until the completion of
the railroad to the copper country In
1883.
Although below the average stature,
NJ Bendry was man of iron constitu-
tion and iudomitable will. Although an
active man and money maker, he was
thoroughly nrselfish, didn't accumulate
wealth in accordance with his opIortln-
tiles; endowed with an honest heart and
generous impulses he could not conceive
a fellow man essentially dishonest-hence
his trusted employees sometimes robbed
him of thousands of dollars during the
days Of his prosperity. During the
twenty years that the writer has known
Capt. BendrY he has never heard him
speak a disrespec,ful word OF any woman
nor evil of any man. Within the rough
exterior we once knew as Capt. Bendry
there beat a noble heart. Fearless ofany
danger, child could command him;
hardened to tho toughest of life's un-
welcome scenes the cry of pity never fell
upoa his ears unheeded; although pnr-
sued by adversity, the selfish and greedy.
his purse was always open to church and
charity. Peace to his ashes.
The deceased is survived by six child
ren-Mrs. VIM. Burt, Mrs. }. j. Byers,
Mrs. Ibbotson, Miss Lizzie Beudry, John
and jacob Bendry. Mrs, Bendry pre-
ceded him through the vale of the shadow
of death by nearly two years and six
months. The only other relatives living
are sister, Mrs. Shakespeare, and her
son, of Redwiug, Mimi, and nephew.

was held in the community was eXem-

beautiful.

The Deadly Set Gun.

we have heard considerable com plant
recently OF the danger Of going through
the woods these days on account OF guhs
being set for deer. Not long ago Mr.
Kelsey ran across one on the south branch
Of Fall river, near Thibodeau's old lum-
Der camp, as ne was passing along a trail

so large would undoubtedly have suffered
severe injury and perhaps death. Luck
ily the string was a large one and he dis

1t is unnecessary to say that he went
around aud cut the string, and took the
gun home with him. 1t was double

buck shot. He has the gun new and
