Her keel was laid ait Port Madison,

gaged in various trades, Her last mas
ter, Captain Thomas O'Farrell, had
been in command over II years, since
November, 1880. The vessel registered
81 tons, and carried 145,000 feet Of lum-
Der. She was owned by four men,
who each controlled a fourth interest.
They are Messrs. Reed, Daniel McKier-
nan, James Mayhem, and Captain Thorn
as O'Farrell. The Robert and Minnie
first gained prominence during the
Chilean troubles in 1891. She was load
ed at San Diego, California, with guns
for the Chilean insurgents, and trans
ferred the arms ITO THE steamer Itata
on the high seas. The United states
government got wind of the affair,
and sent out the cruiser Charleston.
which captured the Itata and brought
her tc q United States port, The RdO-
ert and Minnie was also captured on
