Old Time Deep Water Mariner
To Be Buried Today in Bath

exciting adventure with mutineers on
the ship Annie Camp. while the ves-
sci was anchored off the Partridge is
lands. The crew, believing that they
would not get into st. John, where
they wished to go, descended upon
Mate TAYLOR while he was alone in the
cabin. the captain having gone ashore
for orders. Taylor saw them coming
and armed himself with a revolver and
putting on a set of brass knuckles
met them with a determined attack.
The assault came to a sudden termina-
ton but Taylor's case was reported
to the authorities at ST. John, who
placed him under $4,000 bonds for his
appearance at a hearing to be held
a few days later. When both sides of
the case were presented he was ac-
quilted of the charge of cruelty to his
men.
In 1876 he was sent to London to as
sumo his first command, the ship
McNeer, a previous derelict, and was
in her seven years. Yater, while in
the ship Harvester, he was sent to
Nanaimo, British Columbia, after the
terrible coal mine explosion of 1884 and
So bodies We're removed from that ter
ritory aboard his ship.
Afterwards he took the well-known
ship Kenilworth in which Capt James
F. Murphy of Bath had come to New
York. from Valparaiso in the remark
ably quick time of 81 days, but on the
trip west Capt. Taylor made the lat
itude of Valparaiso in so days and
reached San Francisco in 101 days and
10 hours. 1t was on this voyage that
he had a most trying experience, for
when within $50 miles of the Golden
Gate he was beealmed for eight days;
otherwise he would have made the
voyage in clipper ship time. AS it was
strong southwest breeze came up
at the expiration of the eighth day and
he sailed his vessel into San Francisco
harbor in Sc hours.
In all Capt. Taylor doubled Cape
Horn 80 times, his quickest time from
latitude 50 to so having been seven
days, which he made on three voy-
ages, and 10 days was his longest. He
also had the good fortune never to
lose a vessel. Since retiring from the
sea he enjoyed life on a massive farm
at Taylors point, where he paid spe-
eial attention to apple raising.

capt. Taylor was one of the best
known of the old-time deep water
mariners. He was native of this
town. son of the late William Taylor,
attending the public school until 10,
when he went to Boston, where he
shipped on the big square-rigger Sco-
tia, Capt. Doane, for Callao, with ice.
That was the beginning of a most sue
cessful but highly exciting career on
the briny deep. On his first trip the
skipper was murdered by the crew
and this was the beginning of a chain
of exciting events that followed him
until he finally gave up the sea for
good.
The Scotia was taken to Shields,
Eng, where she was joined by Capt
John Delano of Bath and in a remark
ably short time young Taylor was
promoted to second mate. For the sec
ond time on the voyage the crew mu-
tinted. They intended to attack the
captain and the mate, but Taylor saw
them coming toward him and grabbed
the first thing in his way which hap
pened to be a Delaying pin and in
short order had three stretched out
on the deck. The others hastily re-
treated and no further trouble en-
sued.
Mr. Taylor was then promoted to
the rank of mate and was transferred
to the ship Arcturus and again he had
an experience with mutinous crew,
half blacks and half whites The ship
was bound from New Orleans to
Havre wnen a big, burly Negro charg-
ed upon the mate and was followed
by several others of the crew Again
Taylor saw his attackers coming and
this time picked up an axe which he
swung about his head with all his
might and again the others retreated.
His next vessel was the ship Vir-
ginia, on which he was given the po-
sition of mate. While on q voyage
from Antwerp to New Orleans the
Virginia ran on the Tennessee reef
along the Florida coast and was bad
ly damaged Wreckers came along but
Mate Taylor and the second mate
stood at the gangway with drawn re-
volvers and kept them off and the ves
sci was worked into Key West where
temporary repairs were made and the
vessel finally completed her voyage.
Eighteen months later he had an
