The full crew list was myself-Captain John
L. Heald-George II. Moseley. first mate, and
A. A. Platt, second mate and cook. After we
were out fortythree days decided it was
time to put into Port Hartford and get some
more stores. We secured a liberal supply and
once started north.
BY this time had decided to make for the
Klamath River, but every time we came
within striking distance something happened

Never a sea broke over us and she is now as
dry as a bone, but she can't sail and she
won't steer. Otherwise she is the finest vessel

Well after we had been twice as far north
Mendocino and twice found ourselves off

make one more try. Then occurred the only
disaster We were once more off the Oregon
coast and George II. Moseley was at the helm.
This was on the night Of October s. Platt

racket on deck and Moseley was tumbling down
the companion way, while the vessel was roll

took care of the injured man. He only lived

We could not give him a fair burial, but
Platt sewed him up in spare sail and brought
him aft to the wheel, where 1 was on duty. 1

days Off there pilot-boat came up to US
and pilot came aboard, but didn't want
him. Lucky for him. He'd have been ten days

had failed to reach Fort Point. 1t was
blowing hard, but the craft would not
steer and every wave threw her two
points off her course. When a Call re-

Cliff House the first thing Captain Heald
asked for was tobacco. Luckily the crew
of Peterson's launch had three packages
of fine cut and these were taken aboard.

Artist Bronstrup had a pipe and offered
it to Heald, who seized it and in two
