water ran into the hold. There
was plenty there, anyhow"
At last they made Port Eliza
beth. 90 days out. Without dry
docking facilities there, the ship
started homeward bound for Port
Townsend, still leaking.
The pumps were kept going the
whole voyage. BY this time the
holds had been thoroughly washed
out, so Capt. Larsen's children used
them for a swimming tank. Oh,
well.
Then. In 1917, Capt. Larsen
took the schooner civilian
Nottingham" from Tacoma
bound again for South Africa
via Tahiti.
She began to leak almost as
soon as the lines were let 60, so
the sailors pumped and pumped
until they reached Tahiti, where
native pearl-divers were hired to
caulk the below-water leaks.
Incidentally. the crew deserted
there-so Capt. Larsen paid the
chief of police $50 head to ''ar-
rest" a crew pronounced "shang-
hal" in English.)
His troubles and leaks weren't
finished, however, for she again
started to take water as they
neared the Horn. About 200 miles
south of Old Stiff. with eight feet
Of water in the hold, Capt. Larsen
jettisoned his deckload. Working
around the clock, 1t was a matter
OF several days back-breaking,
perilous work as the schooner wal
lowed in the gigantic. rolling
'graybeards."
However. they made the 1000
mile passage from the Horn to
Durbin In the spanking good time
OF rs days. But Capt. Larsen says
1t was just another month Of
pumping. no matter how fast you
say 1t.
We asked him where those
vessels are now, and he told
us that the Coco Head" was
lost In the Indian ocean shortly
after he had her, and that the
