Came to Washington as Roy.

+ new Ork, N the vicinity OF Candnddi-
qua, fifty-eight years ago. When quite a
small boy he came TO Washington with
his mother. and has resided here ever
since.
( Following the civil war, In which he
had been employed as a sutler with the
Union army in Virginia, he engaged in
various business pursuits IN this city.
He was for a long time caterer on the
old steamers running to Norfolk.
After holding all the positions on a
steamboat up to first mate, he was
| licensed by the government officials as
master and pilot Of steam vessels. About
twenty-five years ago he embarked into
the steamboat and excursion business.
His career since then has been ex-
clusively along those lines. The first
steamer he purchased was the old Mary
Washington. About the same time he
purchased what has since been known as
River View the tract OF land on which
the resort bearing that name now stands
and where numerous buildings were
erected.
Crystal Wave Wrecked at sea.
From the first IL was popular. The old
Mary Washington was soon unable TO ac-
commodate the large crowds which jour
neyed down there from Washington
Other and larger boats had 10 be secured
Capt. Randall went TO New York and
purchased the steamer Crystal Wave
While on the way down the coast to this
city the new vessel was run into by a
steamship of the coast of Delaware and
sunk. carrying down nearly the entire for
tune Of Capt. Randall
He did not let this loss daunt him. I'm
mediately he went to Baltimore and pur-
chased the steamer Samuel J. Pentz. Soon
this addition 10 his small navy was not
enough TO accommodate the crowds who
wanted to go to River View.
He purchased the steamer John W
Thompson. rebuilt and named her the
Harry Randall. and established a freight
and passenger route along the river This
business was successful Since 1900 Capt.
Randall had purchased the steamers and
business of the Washington Steamboat
Company, his rivals in the Potomac trade.
Purchases Colonial Beach.
About this time he saw the great ad-
vantage Of Colonial Beach as a summer
resort for citizens OF Washington, and
purchased that business from the Colonial
Beach Improvement Company s. ce
1902 he has operated steamers TO that re-
sort at a great profit
Two years ago the Randall steamboat
and excursion lines were merged into a
stock company, under the title OF the
Washington and Potomac Steamboat
Company. In IL Capt. Randall retained
the controlling interest. Since the reor-
ganization Of the company the steamers
Queen Anne and St. Johns were pur-
chased, the former doing service at the
jamestown Exposition.
The recent financial stringeney caught
Capt Randall unprepared. Unable TO
raise funds to meet pressing obligations.
his company, with his consent. January
. of this year, was placed in the hands
Of receivers by action of the District
court
Capt Randall continued to manage the
business until he became iii. When it
was definitely known that his illness was
of serious nature. Capt. David Van
Cleaf, of New York, was engaged by the
receivers to look after the business.
