OLD SEA CAPTAIN
IN RIPE OLD AGE

Maine papers of January 18th give
the following account of an old sea
captain, father Of Captain A. H. Otis
Of this city:
At the Brunswick club Wednesday
night a smoker and reception was held
in honor Of Capt. william M. Otis of
Brunswick, who welcomed his many
friends on the occasion of his 92nd
birthday. Speeches we're made by many
OF those present and an original poem
read by Capt. Lemuel II. Tolman.
Fifty years Of mans life is long
time to spend on the sea, but such Is
the record Of Capt. Otis.
He was born January I. 1914. In that
part OF Brunswick known as Grows
town, being the son OF Capt and Mrs.
James Otis. Capt. James Otis was
sea captain sailing to European ports
and the West Indies for over 30 years.
He also served In the War of 1919. His
wife was Miss Betsey Snow, who was
born on Great Island in Harpswell.
With such parents 1t was only natural
that the young William should seek
sea-fsring life.
In 1888, at the age of 10. he made his
hrst voyage, shipping In the schooner
James, 90-ton craft, as a common sea
man. The vessel sailed from Bunganuc
to Norfolk, Va. and back to Boston
with a cargo Of pitch pine. II was 4S
years later that Capt. Otis quit the sea,
having in that time sailed all over the
world.
In five years time after he made his
first voyage he took command of his
first vessel, II being the brig Benjamin,
which was owned by Brunswick par
ties. For a number of years Capt. Otis
was engaged in the West Indian trade.
During the As years that he sailed the
seas 36 years were spent in the employ
OF the same concern.
The year 1850 was q notable one for
Capt. Otis, as during that year he made
his first voyage around the world, being
at the time captain of the ship Rome.
Iu 1874 he took command OF his last
vessel. It being the Franconia, 146O
ton ship. Until 1881 he commanded
this vessel, but in that year he met with
his first and last wreck, losing his yes
sci on the Farralone islands, San Fran.

Second officer Peterson. The boat.

although the weather was thick.
They could not obtain their reckon

they struck twenty-seven fathoms. The

rapidly. Realizing that she would fill
in a short time, he had her backed on

lily and rested gently.
In an interview at Bamheld creek
tonight Boatswain Mccarthy told the
story of the wreck. He said the
steamer Valencia had been going by
dead reckoning and overran her dis
lance. Soundings had been made
three and four times an hour. The
steam er struck at 11:45 p. m. Monday

bilges, which was done. The captain
then called to the engineer and asked
II the steamer was making much wa
ter. Before the engineer could reply,
the firemen began clambering up from
the fireroom, telling the engineers she
was filling. Captain Johnson rang
for full speed astern and made for the
beach. The propeller had only made
a few revolutions when the vessel

succeeded in getting about six of the
passengers on board again. The boats
when lost were mostly filed with wo-

A lady and gentleman with little

to pass the child, but a wave struck
her and washed the child from her

RATS. The captain, after consulting
with the mate, asked Mccarthy to
take charge. which he did, and called
for volunteers, and the FIVE sailors who
reached shore In safety responded. The
captain instructed them to pull along
the beach and find a place to get
ashore.
They landed at 1:10 a. m. Tuesday
and made Cape Beale lighthouse at
3 p. m. Before making Cape Beale
they tried to get back to the vessel
by the beach, but could not do so. Dur.
ing the excitement Captain johnson
was very cool and all the crew we're at

cannot give the lighthouse keepers at
Cape Beale too much credit for the
manner In which they were treated.
Boatswain Mccarthy did not hold out
much hope for the remaining boats, al.
though the other nine survivors are
said to have made shore in boat and
are expected to reach Bamfeld on
Thursday. The survivors are of the
opinion that the entire crew with the
exception Of themselves is lost.

Good news comes from the Post
Office Department in the announce

Metcalf with a view to reinstating
that gentleman in his old Office of
superintendent of the money order
division.
The circumstances which have re-
quired such an inquiry are well
known TO Mr.. Metcalfs neighbors
Toward the end of the postal inves-
LEGATION he was accused of various
offenses in connection with the
award of contracts for the print
ing of money order blanks. Those
charges were stOutly and insisteDtly
denied. Notwithstanding the denial
the man was removed from his Office
and dismissed the service in disgrace

THE T0OL-USING ANIMAL.

The use OF tools, which distinguished
the man IN those ancient times from
ali the other animals around him. is
SIN his distinguishing trait. says
Michael A. Lane in the National Maya
zine To say that man is different from
other animals in virtue of his reasoning
powers-to say that man is unique be-
cause he is TationaI-is to utter false
hood. If man is rational. other animals
are rational also. Some men are by no
means az rational" as are many of
the lower animals. A mature dog is
much more rational than very young
human child But the use Of tools is
pre-eminently the human characteristics
And that very use of tools has been the
cause in man of the very rapid and dis
proportionate increase OF the reasoning
mower which is common TO all animals
as far down the scale as one cares
to go,
We may say, then, that the human
race began when PithecanfhrO-
pus (the man-apel, or his descendants
discovered the use of tools. The van
ishing point Of our perspective when
we look behind US, lies at the point
where the hairy ancestor discovered
that club was a better instrument
than the hand with which 10 deal death
