u HeIu tHe RANK OF rear aQl0Iral
eriod but was reduced to lower
-Ioru4 1or no fault of his own. He was
probably the only man who was made a
rear admiral by mistake
Briefly his remarkable history is as
follows: In 1861 Joseph Feaster secured
employment at the old Philadelphia navy
yard as a shipwright. Soon afterward
he was sent south with a number of
mechanics and employed in building tin
clad monitor vessels in the Mississippi
river. They not only built them. but
they manned and fought them. At the
end OF the war he received a discharge.
although he had never been enlisted.
After the war he worked as a shipwright
in the employ of the navy department
until 1915, when he secured an appoint
ment as assistant naval constructor, and
III due course was promoted until at the
age of retirement, siX-two years, he had
reached the grade of captain.
lie then forwarded his discharge pa
pers. received in 1865. to Washington,
and in accordance with the terms of the
retirement act, which provides that Off
GERS having seen service in the Civil war
shall be retired in the next rank above
the one they hold. he was retired as n
rear-admlral. About a year afterward
he received notice that there was no
official record of his having served in the
war and that all the fighting he had
done was as a civilian employe. who had
not been sworn into the service. And
he was further informed that in correct
ing the error he would hereafter be
ranked as captain ON the retired list.
He was forced to refund about $1,000
of excess pay, and. although the depart
ment expressed regret at the hardship,
there was no remedy for him except a
bill in Congress. James Rankin Young
then the member from the Fourth dis
trict of Pennsylvania, drew bill, but
about that time general order issued
by the secretary of the navy forbade
the presence of officers in Washington
to urge legislation of any kind, and
Feaster withdrew the bill and went to
his grave a captain.-San Francisco
