Scarcely Knew Position of Whalen
When Wreck Occurred.


Captain Keenev the master of the
schooner Julia E. Whalen, returned
yesterday from Midway Island on
the L. S. S. IrOquois, accompanied by
the crew of the wrecked vessel. He
states that for several days previous to
the wreck he had not been able to
take observations and scarcely knew
where he was. He took the vessel far
to leeward when he sighted Midway
but the vessel went ashore ON the night
of October q. She had been leaking
during the entire trip and had become
practically waterlogged.
The first | knew of the accident "
said Keeney was when the mate call
ed me and shouted Breakers ahead!' l
rushed on deck and saw the breakers
right under the schooner's bow. 1
grabbed the wheel and put it hard up
The Whalen had struck the reef before
got on deck. l did not know she had
struck before she gave a couple of
bumps. At the same time the wheel
fell off my hands. The stern-post had
been torn off.
AS soon as the vessel struck there
was great panic and rush on board.
l got my revolver and threatened to
shoot the first man who tried to put
the boat off without my orders. l left
McMichael who showed a great deal
OF nerve, charge of the boat to see
that the men did not put it off. l then
went down in the cabin and worked
out the schooners position by the
chart. l had to do this in order to find
the entrance to the channel when we
struck out for shore in the boat"

many mems veins the blood leaped
as II leaped In mine when ] saw that
name. Neahr was a short.term man.
He enlisted I'm he One Hundred and
Forty.Second New York volunteers in
1864. but In his short terms Of service
II was his fate to be engaged In one
of the most daring and perilous under
takings of the war.
"On the 18th OF January, 1865. when
the Union troops were formed for as.
sault on Fort Fisher. Gen. Terry called
for volunteers to go forward In ad.
vance of the assaIlting column and
cut down the palisades or stockade
timbers Of the fort. A plan to blow
these timbers up with gunpowder had
been considered. but the fire of the
navy had damaged them to such an
extent that Gen. Terry believed his
axmen could do the work better than
gunpowder. Therefore he called for
volunteers.

for the dangerous work. They ran
forward with axes under furious fire
from the enemy. All except three
were shot down. These three ham
mered away at the palisades until
they cut an opening through which
one OF the charging columns rushed.
and the result was the capture Of Fort
Fisher.
"Neahr was the last survivor OF that
party OF twelve who charged with
axes. Up to 1896 not even his nearest
neighbors or the members of his fam.
lily knew that he. had been engaged In
such a perilous exploit. Then Con.
gress voted him medal Of honor and
the story came out. Many Of the boys
will remember that when the axmen
moved apart that day Neahr dropped
