Capf. Samuels’ Last Entry. 
One, if not the most prominent and pictur¬ 
esque character, of our American merchant cap¬ 
tains has just passed away. Captain Samuel 
Samuels, whose name is inseparably connected 
'V’th the famous old clipper ship Dreadnaught, 
the wild boat of the Atlantic, as she was nick¬ 
named on account of the daring of Captain 
Samuels in carrying on sail at night, died in 
Hrooklyn. Monday, May 18, at the age of eighty- 
In his book “From Forecastle to Cabin” Cap¬ 
tain Samuels describes sea life as he found it, 
but yachtsmen remember him as the skipper of 
the schooner yacht Henrietta that in December, 
1866, won the ocean race from New York to 
Havre against the two schooners Fleetwing and 
Vesta.

We had a good dinner of soup, fish, beans and 
bread and spent the afternoon trying to keep 
cool. It was stifling hot where we were, and 
even with our coats off and shirts loosened, we 
could not stand the heat but crawled out into 
the yard and sat on the steps of the back porch, 
where we could get more air. Even here it was 
fearfully hot: the high fence kept the air from 
circulating and the tropical sun scorched down 
unmercifully. We felt the heat more from be¬ 
ing used to the open water, where there was 
plenty of air moving. 
By going up to the top steps of the porch 
we could look over the fence across the bay 
and see the W. at anchor, loaded deep and 
nearly ready to sail. I could see that they were 
sending up and bending on the sails and almost 
wished I had stayed aboard of her, for there 
I knew inside of a few days we would be home¬ 
ward bound, whereas now everything ahead of 
us was an uncertainty. 
I thought the long afternoon would never 
pass, and was glad enough to go to sleep at 
sunset, although we were given a short candle 
to use if we wanted to. 
The basket I had slept in the night before I 
found contained a lot of china ware beneath the 
straw, so I made up a bunk on the floor and fell 
asleep with the others. Hans found a grating 
in the floor above and lay down under it to get 
more air. but shortly after supper time some 
one poured the dish water through the grating 
and Hans came near getting baptized with it. 
I had fallen into a sound sleep, when some 
one awoke me and I heard Joe’s voice, saying, 
“Come along. Davis,” and had my senses about 
me in a second. Something was about to 
happen I knew, and as I crawled out after the 
other fellows, I put my hand to my sheath knife 
to see if it was still there and ready for use. 
I never felt so dependent on anything before in 
my life as I did on that knife. It was the only 
weapon of defense I had, and I guarded it with 
care, keeping it strapped t<o me night and day. 
Charlie, the runner, was telling the others that 
we would have to walk to Pisagua, when I 
joined the crowd in the room, above where we 
had been hiding. All the windows had been 
carefully closed and the conversation was 
carried on in whispers, for fear of detection, al¬ 
though at this hour, midnight, not a soul was 
stirring. He said it would be impossible to 
launch a boat and take us in it up the coast, as 
an extra guard was now watching the beach. 
So he told us to take what we needed from our 
clothes bags, that we found stowed along the 
wall of the front room that served as a bar¬ 
room in the day time. He gave us each a quart 
wine bottle full of water and one of red wine 
extra for the crowd, some crackers and some 
dried up German sausage. 
I took from my clothes bag my small blanket, 
a brand new suit of dungarees I had drawn out 
of the slop chest before I ran away, and three 
cans from my stock of condensed milk. We did 
not have much time, or I would have gone 
deeper into my clothes bag and taken a small 
diamond scarf pin and several other small valu¬ 
ables that I should have known better than to 
have brought to sea with me; but Charlie kept 
urging upon us the necessity of starting early, 
so as to get to the plains above before sunrise. 
He gave us minute directions as to how to get 
to Pisagua. but Joe insisted that he knew the 
way well enough, he’d walked the same distance 
before. I listened attentively, however, to what 
Charlie said: 
“Go straight up the mountain from here, and 
at the top you will see three paths; follow the 
middle one and you will come out all right.” 
When all were ready, he looked out to see if 
all was clear, and as we stepped out into the

Small Yacht Construction 
and Kigging. 
A Complete Manual of Practical Boat and Small Yacht 
founding. With two complete designs and numerous 
diagrams and details. By Linton Hope. 177 pages 
Cloth. Price, $3.00. 
The author has taken two designs for practical demon¬ 
stration, one of a centerboard boat 19ft. waterline, and 
the other a cruising cutter of 22ft. waterline. Both de¬ 
signs show fine little boats which are fully adapted to 
American requirements. Full instructions, even to the 
minutest detail, are given for the building of both these 
boats. The information is not confined to these yachts 
alone, they are merely taken as examples; but what is 
said applies to all wooden yacht building according to 
the best and most approved methods.
