The captain first identified himself
with the Pacific coast shipping in 1887.
For n number OF years lie says men from
the interior have brought TO the coast
and the vessels stories of gold, free as
weeds or daisies in the fields. In 1898
sailors left a steamer that was a sort Of
companion of his TO seek gold. The
stories kept growing and so did the de-
sertions.
The coldness of the climate, the captain
does not think, has been overestimated
He has pictures of frozen fleets that would
make one believe almost any cold weather
yarn from within miles Of the goldfelds.
Once his steamer, the William Bayiis
with fourteen others was frozen up and
bound as tight as they could be bound at
the Herschell island from October 10 TO
July q. Tbs crews and officers numbered
700 men and they had ball games when
the wind did not blow too hard. They
also had amateur theatricals, for the mon
needed something to relieve the terrible
monotony. The national holiday was
celebrated by all the men In grand style
and old glory was happy at the tribute.

Capt. Macomber sailed from New Bed
ford, Mass, on the good ship James
Arnold on his first voyage. This ship
was then ii years old and has since been
