New York, Nov. IL. - In supreme
command of the Turkish fleet is a
Yankee. Ransford d. Bucknam, known
in Turkey as Admiral Bucknam Pa
sha.
Born in America in 1870, Bucknam
started life on the water at the age
of fourteen, when he shipped as cabin
boy on a Great Lake schooner. Two
years later he sailed from New York
as quartermaster on schooner bound
for the Pacific. At Manila the cap
tain and the mates died of cholera
and Bucknam got the job of captain.
For some years he drifted about in
Central and South America, finally
turning up in Cramps shipyards as a
nautical expert. He was the COM
mander of the new battleship Maine
on her trial trips, and when the Turk
ish cruiser Abdul Medjid was finished
he was sent to Turkey with it.
Arriving at Constantinople Bucknam
looked around at the dilapidated Turk
ish navy, and told the minister of the
naval department that Switzerland
was the only naval power Turkey
could whip.
When Abdul Hamid heard the
Americans criticisms he asked him
to reorganize the whole navy and
named a large salary. Bucknam ac-
cepted the job, first getting leave to
go back to San Francisco to marry.
The young Turks, when they depos-
ed Abdul Humid, sent Bucknam Pasha
into retirement, and for a few years
he lived a quiet life. He was appoint
ed commander of the Turkish fleet in
1912.
