Captain Versus Lieutenant.
Another story is told of him which
tends to show the complexity and many
sidedness of his character, his youthful
ambition, his love of fun and his alert
aess in taking advantage of circum-
stances and adopting expedients TO suit
the occasion.
After Commodore Schley left the Niy
agara he was promptly promoted to a
lieutenancy and assigned as executive
officer of one of the 80 day gunboats,
the Owasco Of the gulf squadron. Her
commanding officer was a devotee Of
John Barleycorn, and periodically had
to retire to his cabin for repairs, where
he usually staid week The Owasco
was stationed off Mobile and was one
of a small squadron of which Captain
James Alden of the Richmond was SEN
Tor officer
One day quartermaster of the Rich
mond reported to Captain Alden that
the captain S gig of the Owasco was APP
preaching, the captains pennant flying.
Supposing his visitor to be the captain
Of the Owasco, Alden put on his uni
form coat, the side boys were ordered
and the boatswain's mate made ready
for his three pipes at the gangway.
When the Owasco's gig came alongside,
the man who sprang up the ladder was
Lieutenant Schley.

the Owasco, said Alden. with slight
sarcasm.

"Since when?" asked Alden.
IAN hour ago, sir. said Schley.
"Where is Captain -"
Locked up in his cabin, sir, drunk "
"Who locked him imp asked Alden.
81 did first put him under arrest
and then shut him up in his cabin.
Then-I took command OF the ship, and
here am to report for orders. "
Alden was fond of joke, and he was
at first disposed to laugh at the young
man S summary action, but he said:
"Well, the first order I'll give you is
for you TO lower that pennant in the
gig, go back to your ship sir, unlock that
cabin door and restore Captain - to
duty. Then report to me in writing If
the captain illness still incapacitates
him and will know what to do. Don't

came back in hurry from his Ericsson
trip to Sweden and hurried to valparai-
so in the Baltimore. 1t was a fine, new,
