MAN OF MANY ADVENTURES.
Thrilling Story of Delaware Writings
Experiences as Seaman.


Washington Delaware Whiting. the
subject of this sketch. is Il native Of
this city and received his early educa-
ton in the well known Henry Highland
Garnet public school. From mere
youth he seemed destined to TX come a
child of the sea. and in 1889 ar the age
of sixteen. he enlisted in the United
States navy receiving ship Dale. then
stationed at Washington navy yard.
Mr.. Whiting was rapidly promoted
and transferred from ship to ship. It
was just after passing the required
examination as wreck blower that he
was assigned to the iantic. then
wreck blowing along the coast of the
Delaware breakwater, when that ship
received orders from the secretary of
the navy to blow up the hull of the
famous ship Waterloo. then lying off
Chatham. Mass.
The fearless manner in which this
lad went about his new duties would
have done credit to veteran. and the
work was brilliantly performed. From
that time on Del as he was wont to
be called, could be relied upon whether
the ship sank or swan.
What Mr.. Whiting is pleased to call
the beginning of his foreign mission
was in September. 1890. when he was
transferred from the Yantic to the Pen
sacola. bound for Bluefieds. Nicaragua,
when he * promoted to the rank of
second class apprentice. While sail
ing through tie strait of Magellan the
Pensacola encountered n severe gale,
in which the ship lost three men and
two boats.
The storm lasted seventeen days and
delayed them in reaching the west
coast of Chile. The Pensacola's provi-
sions ran low. and the crew for the first
time knew what real hunger was.
They cast anchor. prayed - very
strange thing for the sailors to do-and
waited for the day.
While lying in port at Valparaiso the
Pensacola was fired upon by the Chile
ans. Mr.. Eagan. the American consul,
was appealed to by Admiral McCann
for protection. Mr.. Whiting was then
a signal boy on the Pensacola. and 1t
was the signal given by this black boy
that assembled the crew for the on
slaught in which several Americans
were killed as well as Chileans.
The United States had to pay an
indemnity of $4,000 to Chile for loss
of life and injury to her citizens. This
was one of the most thrilling expert
ences our subject had during his career
as a child of the sea. He speaks Span
