AN OLD SALTS YARN.

Voyages Made Over Sixty Years
Ago by An octogensrian of Our
City.
The writer commenced his first OF
several voyages on the 14th OF Sep
tember, 1886, having sailed from the
good city OF N with Captain
c., who was the captain and
owner of the good bark c.,
on a whaling and trading voyage to
the Atlantic Ocean and the Brazil
Banks on the coast Of Patagonia in
the South Atlantic and to the north
OF the Falkland Islands.
After leaving home, we sailed East
cruising until we we're at the West
ern, or the Azores Islands in search
Of recruits before going to the
whaling grounds. The inhabitants
OF these Islands are Portuguese and
are under the Government of Portu.
gal, aud all of them are Roman
Catholics in creed.
Fayal being the chief Island and
principal sea port, we went on shore
there for recruits, and to send our
letters home to our friends. The
inhabitants OF these Islands were
rather ignorant at this date. Their
houses we're mostly built of stone
and adobe with tile roofs. The
streets we're very narrow and had a
very uncleanly appearance.
Recruits for our purpose were very
plentiful and we filled up with
them, and also supplied our vessel
with vegetables and fruits.
We cruised for a while amongst
the different islands and then sailed
South for the Cape de Verde ISL
ands. The inhabitants OF this group
are of a mixed race of Portuguese
and African negroes, and at this
date were very ignorant. They were
governed by Portugal and were Of
the Roman Catholic faith.
After visiting several of these ISL
ands we supplied ourselves, l we'll
remember, with a very luscious lot
OF oranges at St. Iago, and sailed
South towards the Equator to cross
the line. Ah!.what fun it was. or
course, as usual, we had visit from
the sailors old friend Daddy Nep-
tune, who gave a great scare to all
of the new boys who had never toed
his line before or invaded his home
premises. After many solemn pro-
misses from them of good behavior
in the future, he let the boys go, and
they considered themselves very
fortunate that he let them off with
out sea shave on the line.
After crossing thu line we cruised
adown the South American coast in
the hopes Of seeing whales on our
way to the Brazil Banks where we
expected to find both right and
sperm whales.
In the month of December, we
struck our first whales and succeed
ed in getting two from which we got
20 barrels of oil, the only oil we took
on our first cruise. We still con-
tinued to cruise, however, without
any success. We then left the coast
of Patagonia to cruise to the North
for sperm whales and to strike a
port to supply our ship with wood
and water.
We continued our course north
until we arrived at the Isle dc
Grande on the Brazilian coast out
side OF the bay and harbor of Rio dc
Janeiro.
The Island of Grande is beauti-
full and fertile one, and produced
large quantities of Brazil coffee. In
fact the greater proportion of the
coffee then raised in Brazil came
from this Island. The work of
planting and curing was done en-
tirely by slave labor, as Brazil was
