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.
