DEATH OF CAPT. M. f. PATTERSON.
Had DISTINGUISHED Career of Half Century
in Oriental Waters. Leaves Many
Friends to Mourn.


Friends to Mourn.
News was received in this city last
week of the death. in Alameda, of Capt.
Martin F. Patterson, and we have re-
ceived the following clippings from
California newspapers:
Captain Martin Francis Patterson,
who was with the British forces at the
capture of Shanghai in 1912, and served
for over half a century as master of
vessels in Oriental waters. is dead at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. William
Latham, 1870 St. Charles street, Ala
media.
He took the steamer Warrior from
New York to China in 1867. In 1875 he
entered the employ of the China Mer-
chants Steam Navigation Company
and had command of different steamers
of that corporation. During his long
career in the Orient he carried on board
his vessels practically all of the great
Chinese dignitaries and officers of state.
He never lost ship or had serious
accident. He retired in 1908 to make
his home with his family in Alameda.
Captain Martin Francis Patterson
died at the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
William Latham, 1870 St. Charles street
last night, aged Is years. He was ma
tive of Belfast, Maine, but OF late years
was an old resident of China and we'll
known in Shanghai, Cheefoo and Tent
sin, which ports he regularly visited for
over thirty years.
Capt. Patterson's advent in China
dates back to the year 1912, when
Shanghai was captured by the British.
After his long career in the Orient he
resigned in September 1908, and since
then lived quietly with his family in
Alameda.
He went to sea in 1910, and in August,
1858, took command of sailing vessel
called the Plymouth Rock. In 1867 he
took the steamer Warrior from New
York to Shanghai, for the firm of Russ
ell & Co., and remained in their employ
until 1875, when he joined the China
Merchants Steam Navigation Co., dur,
ing which time he carried on his vessel
many of the highest Chinese officials.
Throughout these fifty years as
master, his career at sea was an I'M
blemished one. He was never respon-
sible for a serious accident, and never
lost ship. Ever genial and kind to all,
he won himself a name that will linger
long in the memory of his many friends.
He leaves to mourn their loss, a son
and four daughters. The children are
Henry J. Patterson of Minturn, Cali
fornia, Mrs. Frederick Newell of San
Anselmo, Mrs. William Latham of New
York, Mrs. Louis Sansome and Mrs.
Frederick Van Meter, both of Alamo
da He also leaves four grandchildren.

tai for the Statue of Liberty presented
by the people of France. The same
newspaper defeated the famous bond
conspiracy and compelled the Cleve-
land administration to allow the gen.

Geo loan, saving millions of dollars for
the treasury and demonstrating the
financial independence of the United
States
The chapter ON the Battle of Ell
Caney." in which Mr.. Creelman walked
at the head of a storming party with
his eye fixed on the Spanish flag float-
ing over the fort as glorious prize for
his newspaper-and which he secured
is of intense interest. While in the
fort a Mauser bullet, entering one OF
the loouholes, smashed Mr.. Creelman's
left arm and tore hole in his back. He
was carried down the hill and laid on
the roadside among the wounded, with
the captured Spanish colors he had Sc
cured thrown over him, and in half
conscious state he heard calls for copy,
with only an hour to spare before the
paper goes to press. OF what followed
the wounded correspondent says:
Some one knelt on the grass beside
me and put his hand on my feVered
head. Opening my eyes, l saw MI.
Hearst the proprietor of the New York
Journal. a straw hat with bright rib
bon on his head, revolver in his belt
ana pencil and notebook in his hand;
The man who had provoked the Wal had
come to see the result with his own eyes
and, finding one of his correspondents
PROSTATE, was doing the work himself.
Slowly he took down my story OF the
fight. Again and again the tinging OF
Mauser bullets interrupted. But he
seemed to be unmoved. That battle
had to be reported somehow.
"Tm sorry you are hurt, but''-and
his face was radiant with enthusiasm
wasn't it a splendid fight? We must
beat every paper in the world.
After doing what he could to make
me comfortable, Mr.. Hearst mounted
his horse and dashed away for the sea
coast, where fast steamer was Waltln9
to carry him across the sea to cable
station.
Again the scene changes to the Fhlllp-
pines. with incidents on the firing line
and race with woman for the cable,
which resulted in the sending OF mes
sage at cost of S7,602.4 40; and then to
Hayti, the negro republic. A balloon
trip from Montreal, chronicled under
the head of "Newsgathering in the
Clouds" in which Mr.. Creelman rlsked
and nearly lost his life, completes the
adventures of the special correspond
ent as recorded in Mr.. Creelman's ln-
teresting volume. Mention should also
be made of the chapters on the funerals
Of Gladstone and General Grant and on
the death and funeral of President Nc
Kinley-" Mckinley the forgiving.'
The book is in our public library,
copy having been presented with the
compliments of James Creelman.'

The pair have been inseparabe almost ever since.
They have eaten and drunk from the same dish

The dog was constantly looking out for the SAFE
