LOG OF THE YACHT "TOLNA"
Count Rudolph Festetics de TOMAS Sumptuous
Volume, among the CannbaIs.'

Why did the Countess Festetics de
Tolna leave the Count Festetics de Toll
ma?
This is a question which has might
" puzzled San Francisco society. 1t is
now about ten years ago that Count
Tolna won the heart and hand of Miss
Haggin, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Haggin, of San Francisco. The
countess was thus a granddaughter of
James B. Haggin, and likewise a
granddaughter of Samuel Butterworth,
two OF San Francisco's prominent citi-
zens in the early times. James 3. Hag-
gin is today one of Americas mil
liOnaires and a leading sportsman on
the race-track. Samuel Butterworth,
once one of San Franchises leading
citizens, has been for many years
dead. Blanche Butterworth, his daugh-
ter, was a great belle in San Fran
cisco not so many years ago, and her
marriage to Louis Haggin, son of the
millionaire Haggin. was one of the So
cial events of the times In addition to
wealth and beauty, Blanche Butter
worth Haggin is a woman of unuSaN
talent. She compiled and published,
some years ago. a book entitled lie
Livre D'Amour." 1t was printed in an
edition de luxe, on vellum paper, from
specially cast type, in q limited edi-
ton. 1t was a very beautiful book,
and is today photographed rarity.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-09-25

Altogether, it will be seen that when
Count Rudolph Festetics de Tolna
conferred his name and his title uoon
Miss Ely Haggin, he was not wedding
a humble wayside flower. If her name
was not so long as his, the California
heiress was right smart of a parsonage
herself.
The Haggin family did not enthuse
over the match. The count was an ex
tremeIy eccentric person, and intended
to take his bride-to- honeymooning
on a yacht through the Southern Seas.
This in itself was unusual. But to add
to the yachting scheme, the count be-
came involved in about seventeen diff
ferent kinds of lawsuits over the build
ing and Quitting of his yacht. He
even had a lawsuit before she was
built, for a shipbuilder brought suit
against him for an unused plan. He
had another lawsuit with a professor
of navigation concerning some Cues-
ton of charges for his nautical educa-
ton. He had six distinct and several
rows with the ship-chandlers, steve
dores, and bum-boat men who fitted
out and handled cargo and ballast; and,
last of all, just as he was about to get
ready to sail, the customs authorities
refused him his clearance papers be.
cause he was not an American citizen.
This seemed an almost insurmountable
difficulty. How it was overcome we
shall tell in a moment.
Count Tolna has just published the
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-09-25

his stateroom. He gets it, mounts to
the deck, and steals stealthy glance
! in the pinnacle. He finds that the
yacht is really headed south-south-
west, when the doctored COMPASS is
making her course west-south-west
This would take her far away from
Honolulu, to which port she was bound.
| Thus says the count:
| There was no longer any doubt. This
man Wickmann was taking us away
from our destination. 1 grew hot with
anger l clench d my fists ready to
spring upon him. But it was only for
a moment. I looked around me. No
one was observing me. Becoming
calmer, 1 descended again to my cabin.
| There 1 became the prey of melancholy
reflections. There was no longer any
doubt-Wickmann was about to carry
out the kidnapping plan that Ketty had
so much DER the danger as at the ~
diculous side of the affair. To this,
then, had led my long preparations.
The San Francisco newspapers had
kept their readers posted on all the
details of the construction of my yacht.
They had published designs and de-
concerning my nautical qualifications.
They had even printed the percentage
of my certificate passed upon by the
directors of the nautical school-and
all my nautical science had resulted
in permitting my fine yacht to be cap
tured by a clever scoundrel.
The count goes on to tell how he de-
termined to Illustrate the plans of
Wickmann. He teaches his wife to
take the sun, although he does not con-
fide to her his suspicious. He tells
her that it is in order to teach her nav
igation and that it will amuse her.
Then it becomes a duel between the
count and Wickmann. The count in
sists that the compass has deviated by
means of magnetic attraction, and per-
sists in holding a course based On his
CONTINUED on Page g.

er, and, under the influence of beer, he
had confided to her his project for seiz-
ing the yacht, kidnapping the young
couple, and then returning and extort-
! ing a large sum in ransom from Mr..
Haggin.
"As sooH'as we have left the port of
San Francisco" said he, II shall put
the count in irons, and I shall maroon
him and his wife on an uninhabited ISL
and, which I have picked out on the
map. Then 1 shall bring back the
yacht to San Francisco and notify Mr..
Haggin that I will tell him where the
island Is if he will give me the Tolna
for my own and large sum of money.
If he doesn't pony up, I shall leave
these two turtle-doves to die of hunger
on their island
The count knew not what to think of
this remarkable tale. Finally he con-
Guided to watch Wickmann, but retain
him in his post.
Again let US leave the count to take
up the narrative:
On October IS, 1893, at seven o'clock
in the morning, accompanied by tho
Haggin family, we left Vallejo Street
wharf on the tug-boat Sea King, which
took us aboard the Tolna, and towed us
outside the bay. When we were there,
the Haggin family went over the side,
and were rowed back in the yachts
dinghy to the tug, while Nine. Hag-
gin watched her daughter through her
tears.
The next day the count finds that
First officer Wickmann is fooling with
the COMPASS, or else the vessel is not
sailing on her course. The counts
calculations show that she should be
thirty-five miles further to the west
and sixty miles further to the south
than the position on the chart. He
studies the situation closely for
couple of days, but finds the diver
gence growing greater. At last he be-
thinks himself of a pocket-compass in
