Many Sea Voyages
Made by Bath CAPTAIN

Bath, Nc, Dec. 21.-Capt. Richard
Quick, who sailed from Bath yestcr-
day aboard the big tanker New Jersey
and who is commander Of the steel
ship Edward sewall, laid up at New
Orleans, which he will join early in
January. He has Travelled around the
world, been III every ocean and almost
every sea and rounded Cape Horn
more than score times, had Cne trip
around that cape which would give a
basis of the fact in the legend of the
Flying Dutchman-the ghost snip that
is eternally trying to round Cape Horn
and forever being beaten back.
In 1914 it took him 81 days to take
the Sewall from latitude so south on
the cast of the continent to the same
parallel on the west side. On 10 pre-
vious voyages the ship had made this
portion of the voyage in from 10 to
% days, the average being 16.4 days.
The land lubber has no idea Of the
treachcrous isles and inlcts to be cr-
countcrcd in trip around the Horn
and the varying winds founI there.
The trip around began March 10 and
ended May .. Twice, midnight of Apr'
- and April %, the Sewall was within
a few miles of the 50th latitude west
only to be blown back. A straight line
outline of the trip would show consid-
erable recrossing of lines. For in
stance. on April 19 the Sewall was
farther cast than On March so. But

brated a mass in the church for the
children of st. Marys school.
While no extensive plans we're
made in connection with the anniver-
sary. many people called during the
day to offer Fluctuations and express
the wish that he may be able to con-
tinue for many years more. in the
splendid work that has chara acterized
his pastorate at st. Mary's. He came
here more than 81 years ago, during
which time he has laborcd unceas-
inglv for the welfare and advance
ment of the city and the betterment
of the people. He has built up a
magnificent church organization.
Father Linehan since his ordina-
ton to the priesthood has devoted all
his years to the Cathedral of the
Immaculate Conception in Portland
and at St. Mary's in this city.
He was born in Macroom, county
Cork Ireland, in 1s47, the son of John
and Margaret Foley Linehan. He
came with his parents. to this coun-
try when quite young and settled in
Concord, n. H. He entered St Char
les Catholic college at Catonville
Md, to study for the priesthood. He
had also attended Nocolet and Grand
Seminary at Montreal.
Father Linehan was ordained to
the priesthood 43 years ago and was
appointed curate at the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception in Port
land. and served as such until 1881,
when he was made rector. He held
this appointment for nine years, and
during that period the Cathedral par
ish increased rapidly in membership,
under his guidance.
He was transferred here almost 80
years ago. where he has worked with
the same constant effort and zeal
that characterized his labors in the
Forest City.
Since coming here he has completed
the erection of a fine parochial school,
and has also erected st. Mary's Con
vent and st. Margaret's church at
Old Orchard. of which he was pastor
for years.
