\ ??= % STICKS TO STARS AM) STKIPES. I W. C. Hipp, of Newberry, Could Have J Become British Skipper by Renouncing Allegiance to His Native Country. The following from the Savan .ah Press of Wednesday afternoon will be . read with interest>by many people in South Carolina: Sacrificing a personal ambition to become the master of a big British steamship through his loyalty to the Ctore a n r? Qtrino? t jp flail under KJtUi O UUu >^/v* _ _-w which he was born, W. C. Hipp, a native of Pomaria, in Newberry county, South Carolina, after twelve years' absence from home, came :'nto the port of Savannah yesterday on the British ^ steamship Zafra as a boatswain. He 1 would have become a British skipper by renouncing his allegiance to the United States?but he would not do so. The return of Mr. Hipp, who is the son of J. J. Hipp, a prosperous farmer of South Carolina, was in the form of the "return of the prodigal," and his father, his sister, Mrs. B. A. Cannr.a nn/>io W O "FTinn. who iiVJLIj ClIIU JLL^O UAAVAV) t > . x.jr/ liad advised the mariner yesterday by telegraph of their intentions to see him at Savannah, turned up very promptly at the slilps side at the Atlantic Coast Line docks this morning, ^ 'hurrying directly to the vessel from r the railway station. Folks From Home. The four people, the son and his nearest relatives, had just left the Zafra, when a representative of the Press ^ ^n n reached the scene ana mey au animated group on the wharves. The party, after doing some shopping along Broughton street, left shortly after 2 o'clock for Pomaria, where the son will spend a few days with his relatives before again taking up his life on f k the ocean. I The experiences of Mr. Hipp sound } more like romance than actual experiences. He speaks in a convincing manner, though, and gives essential Moror^incr nis Inner absences 1 uiij. ?j_, _ _ from home. He "has experienced the roar and whistle of the mighty deep as it was convulsed in the grasp of storms and hurricanes; he has crawled at the risk of his life or limbs warily up frozen ratline to furl sail in the far North; he has sailed upon the tropical seas as if in a lullaby to ' her sons and he has hobnobbed with all manner and kinds of men in practically every country of the civilized globe. Doesn't Like Mexico. Mexico is the single exception, however, and Mr. Hipp gives as his reason that Mexico and things Mexican are not good for (Americans. At the " 1 y ~ ? - T-? A ivtAninnrt f outbreaK 01 tne s>pa.msu-.rvnici iv,cvu war Mr. Hipp, still witli the interests of the beloved America at 'heart and a native born Southerner, left the vessel "on which his time had just expired and hurrying home he enlisted with the 2d South Carolina regimment of infantry, thereby becoming a unit of the 7th Army corps. Tiio. infantrv Tras sent to Savannah and Mr. Hipp, after being encamped 'with the volunteers on Estill avenue, was sent with the 7th to Cuba. He was in Havana for a long time, but the command was not, at any time, en' gaged in the actual fighting. The 7th stayed in Cuba three months, being subsequently transported back to the "United States soil and was mustered out at Augusta. To the restless desire to see the world is attriDutea me roving spun, developed by Mr. Hipp, as a sixteenyear-old boy. He did not vary from the usual type of South Carolina boy in the rural district, but at that age was pretty well versed in the skill of carpentering, being 'employed about cotton mills at Columbia and Union. He went to Jacksonville in the course of time and was engaged in rebuilding the houses after the disastrous fire1 there. Back to Sea. He gravitated slowly toward tlje sea I coast, listening to the voice of the sea and winding up at Pensacola, where f he saw salt water for the first time, i * 3 AV ? VnnTi'Arn OT1 He ciimoea aooaru iue v* C5iaa k bark Broderfolket, outward bound for Buenos Ayres. The skipper, a kindly ! old Norwegian, after hearing the plea! of the youth, gave him a berth as I deck boy. He was then between six-! teen and seventeen years of age. He I is now forty-one, but despite the :?act that twenty-five years of his life has ] been spent upon the bosom of the j ocean and in ports the world over, the j fascination of the sea still calls as in- j sistentiv as it did when he glimpsed real deep salt water for the first time, j From the lowly position of deck boy Hipp worked his way patiently aiong, learning the cunning of the sailors' craft through the hard schools of exI y.orience. His connection with the | Eroderfolket was followed by experiir, mnnv other souare -riggers. ia v _ A ll then a considerable and important J item in the commerce of the seas. He j f left one bark at Mobile and a steamship in later life in Cape Brittain, Nova Scotia, but soon returned to the ocean trade. Mother is Dead. The most remarkable fact in connection with the experience of Mr. Hipp i| that uppja Ms return home oa ; this occasion he finds the family intact with the exception of his mother,! ; who died many years ago. He wer.t home for short periods between enlist: ments on various vessels, but on tne last occasion departed without giving ] i - . ., , _ j the family warning tnai tne wan-, derlust had again gripped him and it j was almost twelve vears from ti;e time j that he departed from South Carolina | until he steamed in yesterday on the Zafra in command of Capt. Abbott. report was current along the river yesterday afternoon that Mr. . Hipp had become a subject of Great | Britian, but this he denied this morn! ing. He says that the unwillingness ; to make this change prevented him in I attaining a higher position than | boatswain, the position he holds upi on the Zafra, but he is loyal to the American flag and has sacrificed 'his opportunity presented at odd times to become a higher officer in the merchant marine, which leads ultimately to the command of a vessel.
