Later he had charge of the Newport, running from Juneau to the Westward. and then was trans ferred to the Excelsior. His most memorable exploit was the bringing into Seattle of the Dora after she had been given up by the underwriters On that trip the Dora ran short of coal and was blown nearly to the coast oi Japan, but Capt.
