L. Rosetter is now xen second mate on the Californian, one jiaj , of the best freight steamers of the great Leylands Line and one of u.)( the largest and most modern ships nQt T that comes into this port . For a j{ut boy of 14 years that first voyage jro . of over two years on the schooner Genista, with a mixed crew of blacks ej and whites, with troubles from the "1 Boxers in Chinese ports, racing a with death from the black plague of ? , India, scorched by the Equatorial sun and frozen in Northern gales, * must have been a trying experience. th Nothing but Anglo-Saxon grit ? could take a youth through such q,. trying scenes as the young English- .1 man experienced on his first voyage and leave him, as 't did Mate ^ Ro6etter, with a strong desire to be / off on a second voyage as soon as j he had paid a brief visit to his . home, th I tan Away to Sea. Young Roeetter ran away from OUE home when he was but 14 years old. He joined the crew of the _ schooner Genista, bound for Calcut- 1 ta to get a part cargo of Indian - *. goods and ship about two hundred , coolies to Trinidad and the West In- wll dies. The time of the passage was ri eighty-five days. After battling with the North Atlantic winds doldrums, drade winds and Cape gales, the Genista entered the port of , Calcutta. Discharging a cargo of I fine salt, the vessel was stripped u and prepared for the reception of . the coolies which were held in . , waiting in the Garden Reach. up . the Hoogli River. lov Mr. Rostetter says that on the Hoogli River they were in the midst of the plague that curses India, and that one could not go ashore " two hundred yards without meeting several corpses being taken off for interment. A white and colored J physician were present to examine ' each coolie taken aboard. The car- ' go consisted of rice; dalls. a kind Bn of yellow split pea; ghee, which is V butter; and a considerable quanity to" of brass plates. During the passage sf)I the doctors examined every coolie' in? and every member of the crew j . ! daily for signs of the plague. }nJ Coolies Wanted to Pray. y r The weather was bad and the sailors had a very hard time to "ol . keep the coolies below deck. They sto am j, insisted on coming on deck and me raying. At Trinidad a large num- "rc J* H 'r of the coolies were put off, h ,1. aere they were left to work out teir own salvation, as it were, J* H m the sugar plantations under the at, Jash of the merciless task masters. * The next stop was at Georgetown, sPr J* W Demarrara, the centre of the su- 'or< mm , gar plantations of the West. Indies. ^01 Here the rest of the coolies were J* Put out and the rice, dall and ghee P?li m discharged. Yhe Genista,after being thorough- st-ei J* ly fumigated, proceeded to New this b York. In the harbor channel she sevi had the misfortune to run aground. *y I f It was Christmas Eve in the year yiol k 1889. The weather was bitterly hr<> cold and the ship was literally cas- Moi T ed in ice. After everybody had en- her ma *oyed Christmas and the celebra- Qui* 'ons were all over some tugs came Kch *1* tt and pulled the Genista off the l h ad bar. She then proceeded to \v ng Island and began loading case * for Shanghai, China. Aik IT Trouble with the Boxers. < f With the oil cargo aboard the n schooner put out to sea once more. V She had not proceeded far when Hui the mixed crew agreed to disagree por and the black men and the white plal men began fighting. After the (th fight things went well until the Sen Genista entered the Macossa Jos Straits. Here she struggled in trie calm and in storm for seven weeks. Hep One week the vessel crossed the olir Equator seven times. Eventually res< the straits were cleared and the 3rd vessel sailed the "Pomice Sea," out thence into the mouth of the. por Yangtse Kiang River. \ The Boxer troubles were on and,Till the cargo was unloaded at a great | ceh peril to every sailor on board, for Ply the Boxers threatened to set fire to thir the oil. Rumors were abroad to the say effect that a gang of Boxer rioters gar were near ut hand and the vessel ingl . moved off from shore. The fol- ber lowing morning, however, It was od i surrounded by Chinese junks, all B. armed. The men aboard the Gensta dared not hoist signals for aid at from the British gunboat for fear of being fired upon by the rioters. CRJ When everything and everybody * was in the deepest dilemma two Aik | gunboats appeared and the junks 1 disappeared. A few days later the A crew of the Genista and the crew of but , another ship'joined forces and pro-; and ceeded to a village on the river, the where the sailors and the Chinese crui rioters got into a serious mix-up. of Three men of the Genista were kill- abc and four of the crew from the plac er vessel.

The publi- > 11 of Mr. Lianey's address * sed some inquiry on this : and inquiry has been made tie Landmark as to the name of Governor who suffered this ig-1 nous fate. A friend of The Imark who is studious and of pa Inquiring turn of mind, has ?d up the matter and finds that M Governor was Druminond, the j|f Governor of the State. The is told in Mrs. Spencer's II it Steps in North Carolina II jry," and is as follows: 1604 the Lords Proprietors apted the first Governor for Car, or rather for Albemarle counHe was William Druminond, a :hmau by birth, who came from inia and was a friend of rnor Berkeley. As he was our Governor it is pleasant to T? f that he was a man of good acter and highly esteemed and good family. We know very j g ! of the years in which he ruled Albemarle ccuntry. He returno Virginia afterward, and ten b later he became engaged in a ius rebellion of the Virginia le against their Governor. ;eley was getting old and very and tyranical, and odious to colonists after having been a liar and excellent Governor for . than 110 years.
