SAVED BY HIS BROTHER.
A STRANGE meeting on board
the WARSHIP SHENANDOAH.
A. Romantic Story of tlio Wandorings
of Two Now Orleans Seamen During
the Late War, and the Timely Rescue
of One hy the Other.
From the Philadelphia Press.
A more curious meeting of brothers per
haps never took place than occurred on the
deck of the Confederate States cruiser She
tmudoah up among the ice in Behring’s
Straits on June 28,1805.
Five veilin' previously John and Francis
Turner 'were a couple of smart young fellows
in Now Orleans, owning a pair of “floats,” as
the large drays are called there, with which
they made a business of hauling cotton on
the river front. On an afternoon in the
autumn of 1880 John Turner, the elder
brother, was passing along the lower levee,
where a tow of sailing vessels, outward
bound, was being made up, when he was
called on board of one of them on some pre
text and asked to go into the forecastle. Be
fore he understood what was going on the
tow cast loose from the moorings and pro
ceeded down the Mississippi.
When ho appealed to the Captain of the
vessel to lie put on shore he was laughed at;
and he found that he had been “shanghaied”
—that is, decoyed on the ship by a keeper of
a sailors' boarding house, who had repre
sented him as a seaman and drawn his ad
vanced pay, which was nearly all his wages
for the voyage to Liverpool, the port of
destination. Some of his mates advised him
to do his duty on board and to go to the
United States Consul at Liverpool, who
would send him home.
Arrived in England, immediately upon
landing he fell in with just such another ras
cal as had shipped him at New Orleans, and,
stupefied with drink, was again “shang
haied"—this time on a vessel bound for
China. Before she reached Hong Kong the
drayman had become a first-rate seaman
and had taken a liking to the life.
poi-urning to England after the civil war
had begun in America and good hands were
offered double wages to ship on steamers
running the blockade of Southern
ports °he engaged in that
dangerous and profitable service.
Unlike most of his shipmates in those days
of making money fast and spending it
quicklv, he was prudent and economical.
Bv keeping out of the dives and groggeries
of Nassau, the calling port of the blockade
running ferry between Liverpool and the
Southern seacoast, where sailor-men then
matched guineas for drinks, and one
crew was known to spend £I,OOO on a
night’s liberty, he saved most of his earnings,
and soon opened an account at a Liverpool
bank.
bis luck ran along without a break until
November, 1802, when he was an able sea
man on the British steamer Banshee, one of
the great fleet of swift ships, dodging the
United States blockading squad
rons into Charleston or Wil
mington, with war material, and
slipping to sea again with the precious cot
ton that was sold at 500 per cent, profit on
the other side of the Atlantic, where it fed
the Lancashire mills and stopped the
mouths of the rioters and the hungry opera
tives.
On this trip the Banshee was chased into
Charleston harbor by a United States gun
boat, and by the bursting of one of her
shells over the blockade runner Turner re
ceived a wound in the head that laid him up
in a Charleston hospital until after the de
parture of his ship.
SEEKING FOR HOME AND BROTHER.
Recovering from his injuries, which had
temporarily affected his brain, Turner be
came possessed of the impulse to make his
way to New Orleans, then in the hands of
the Fedsral forces, to seek for his brother
and a young sister whom he had left
there when he was kidnapped.
It was a perilous journey from the Confed
erate lines into those of the enemy, but he
made his way safely across the Mississippi
and reached'New Orleans early in January,
1863. There he could discover not the
slightest vestige of his family. They had
vanished about the time of tile Federal oc
cupation, without leaving any traces of their
departure.
From New Orleans Turner worked his pas
sage to Mobile in one of the coasters that
kept up an illicit traffic between the two
cities by wav of Lake Ponchartrain and
Mississippi Sound, and at Mobile shipped on
a blockade runner for Nassau. On the voy
age the mental aberrations caused by his
wound increased; he became unfit for duty
and was put on shore at Nassau.
The Confederate ship-of-war Florida was
then in the port coaling for a cruise down
the Spanish main and to the “parting of the
marine roads” north of tlio equator. She
* as short-handed and her commander, Capt.
Alafßtt, was endeavoring to pick up seamen
secretly so as to avoid violation of the
British foreign enlistment law, which might
have subjected him to detention. Turner
applied for enlistment, but was rejected on
account of his feeble appearance, which re
sulted from his illness and disappointment.
He was determined to get into the ship, and
on her second day out he was discovered to
be a stowaway in the forward hold. Capt.
Mr.flitt was so incensed at finding him on
board that ho ordered him ironed, but
Lieut. Read, the third officer of the
Florida, took a fancy to him and prevailed
on Malfitt to give him a berth among the
crew. <
Turner proved an efficient seaman and won
the confluence oi his mates. He remained in
the ship during her work of burning and
sinking American vessels on the coast of
Hi ozil and was still one of her company
when she ran across the Atlantic to Brest,
in August, 1863. At that great French
naval station he was among that portion of
the Florida’s complement detached to go to
England to help in manning the two huge
and formidable armor-plated ships of war
which the Laird firm had nearly completed
at their Birkenhead dockyards for the South
wn Confederacy. The British government
scixisl the vessels before they could sail and
die Confederate seamen were disiier.sed.
Turner had wearied of naval service and
shipped on a merchantman for New York.
Thence he wandered up amongst the Mas
mehuetts whalers and nt New’ Bedford signed
articles for the bark Waverley. bound lor a
three years’ cruise into the North Pacific and
the Arctic ocean.
the second confedf.kate seaman.
At the outbreak of the war the younger
brother, Francis Turner, had enlisted in a
Louisiana artillery regiment, some of the
companies of which, in tho deficiency of
trained seamen, were detailed as gunners on
the Confederate gunboats that opposed Far
raigit’s passage up to New Orleans. Ho was
one of tho few who escaped capture when
the squadron was captured or destroyed, and
accompanying Lieut. Baker and some other
officers, ho evaded the Federal pickets on the
cn it side of tho Mississippi and reached
Mobile.
Not desiring to be returned to hi3 regiment
ho concealed nis identity by assuming the
nniur. of Frederick Johnson, and roamed
about the country until ho reached Fernon
,Un?(s 051 * * lO coast. After working
awhile with the fishermen there he professed
to an offieor nt a United States snip that
anil cast anchor in the river to boa loyalist,
-w as rocnilted as a landsman in the crew,
'thin three months the vessel was ordered
die Philadelphia navy yard for repairs,
jj in that port he deserted.
Bis next berth was on an Italian craft
for tho MediteiToncan from New
* f| i k, and after a year or more in the mar
,ctiant service he was in Liverpool in Sep
tember, 1864, when Capt. Bullock, the naval
“£” ut of the Confederate States, had his
“Hrulshers out gathering in every gsxl
'*niun who could Ixi Ttersuadod to sign
articles for a voyage in the steemship Hon
L-iug to Singapore and beyond. Turner
ignefl the articles with a correct suspicion,
oeru-ed from his former UA|*u'iencc in the
"“moderate service, that the Sea King was
t'L, transformed in neutral waters into a
t-tmloderate cruiser. Ho still kept t-o his
assumed name of Johnson, and when the
steamer was transferred to the Confederate
flag off the lone'.y island of Las Desertas,
one of the Madeiras, he was the first man of
the ostensibly British crew to step forward
at the summons of Capt. Waddell and en
roll his name for service on the Confederate
man-of-war Shenandoah. Waddell issued to
him a warrant as a petty officer, and he
stood as high .as any man on board the ship
outside the wardroom and cabin.
The Shenandoah ran down to Australia,
and thence steamed up the Pacific to the
high Northern latitudes. She inflicted more
damage upon the commerce of the United
States than any Confederate cruiser, except
the Alabama, and in the boat parties that
set fire to her many prizes Francis Turner
was a conspicuous figure. Towards the end
of May, 1885, she was North of the Aleutian
Islands, and had struck some of the New
England whalers who were working into the
Ohkotsk sea and the Arctic ocean.
Having been severed from communication
vvith either the Asiatic or American Con
tinent for three months, Capt. Waddell
knew nothing of the surrender of Lee’s army
or the occupation of Richmond by the
Union army, and so continued his career of
devastation.
HOW THE BROTHERS MET.
On June 28,1865, coming out of Behring’s
Straits, the Shenandoah captured and
burned eight American whaling ships. That
far Northern sea and its floating- fields of ice
were illuminated by the flames of the im
mense conflagration, for the prizes had been
closely huddled, and their oil-saturated hulls
burned fiercely while their spars and rigging
made a fiery tracery against the dull back
ground of the Arctic sky.
One of the doomed ships was the New
Bedford Waverley, and the boat commis
sioner! to take the prisoners from her and
to apply the torch was in command of
Francis Turner.
The boat was loaded almost down to her
gunwales, and in returning through the
heavy sea to the Shenandoah a prisoner
went overboard in one of the 1 undies that
she made. Coxswain Turner hauled him in
over the stern, and as they came face to
face the rescued man fixed an inquisitive look
upon the face of the coxswain.
Huddled under a thwart, and covered
with coats to keep from freezing, he said
nothing then. But when the prisoners were
mustered on the deck of the Shenandoah and
required to give their names, he answered
loudly, “John Turner, of New Orleans.”
Francis Turner, who was among the crew
clustered on the starboard side of the main
deck, sprang forward as the name was
given, but naval discipline restrained him
from interfering with the roll-call. The
reunion of the brothers took place later in
the day.
John Turner enlisted as a seaman of the
Shenandoah, and the brothers were in the
same watch, when a month Inter the ship
made down the California coast and obtained
from a passing Englishman information of
the downfall of the Confederate government.
He then headed for Liverpool, where she
was surrendered to the British authorities,
and eventually transferred to the United
States.
On the arrival at Liverpool the reporters
and correspondents of British newspapers
were busy in interviewing her officers
and crew, and amomg the many narratives
they obtained was that of the adv<fctures
of the Turner brothers which was printed
in the Liverpool Mercury , and in papers
published at Newcastle and Leeds.
A Lady on a Cowcatcher.
Lady Macdonald in Murray's Magazine.
“It is an awful thing to do!” I hear avoice
say, as the little group lean forward; and
for a momont I feel'a thrill that is very like
fear; but it is gone at once,and I can tlji nk of
nothing but the novelty, tha excitement and
the fim of this mad ride in glorious sunshine
and intoxicating air, with magnificent
mountains before and around me, their
lofty peaks smiling down on us, and never
a frown on their grand faces.
The pace quickens gradually, surely,
swiftly, and then we are rushing up to the
summit. We soon stand on the “Great Di
vide” —5,300 feet above sea level—between
the two great oceans. As we pass, Mr. E—
by a gesture, points out a small river (called
Bath creek, I think) which, issuing from a
lake on the narrow summit level, winds
near the track. I look, and lo! the water,
flowing eastward toward the Atlantic side,
turns in a moment as the divide is passed,
and pours westward down the Pacific slope.
Many tunnels lie in our way as we rush
by them, and during a halt I am told one of
the tunnels is “wet.” This being inter
preted, means that the arching rock is full
of springs, which pour on the train as it
passes. An umbrella and waterproof are
therefore necessary for me—now—sole occu
pant of the cow-catcher; and with praise
worthy economy I take off my hat, tuck it
safely under my wraps and prepare to en
counter the “wet” tunnel thus equipped.
We plunge into a few moments’ darkness—
water splashing and dripping on every side;
and as we emerge into sunlight again and
stop just beyond the tunnel, I see a party of
young English sportsinon standing near
the roadside. They have evidently
just climbed the bank, guns
in hand, leaving a large canoe with
two Indian peddlers on the lake below. Fine,
tall, 3'oung Saxons they are, in sporting at
tire somewhat the worse for long travel,
but very conventional in style notwith
standing. Just imagine the feelings with
which these well-regulated young men be
held a lady, bareheaded and with on um
brella, seated in front of an engine at the
mouth of a tunnel in the Gold Range of
British Columbia! I am sorely afraid I
laughed outright at the blank amazement
of their rosy faces and longed to tell them
what fun it was; but not being “introduced,
you know,” I contented myself with ac
knowledging their presence by a solemn
little bow—which was quito irresistible
under the circumstances.
A somewhat similar incident occurred
next day during our journey in the volley
of the Frazer river. The special stopped at a
station where a mule train was just start
ing for some distant gold mines, laden
with miners’ supplies. It was very inter
esting to soe the sturdy animals all packed
and ready, standing in regular order, wait
ing for the word of command from their
dnver, which was instantly obeyed, all filing
along at equal distances with the air of
quadrupeds of superior intelligence, who
had made up their minds to avoid hurry or
confusion. It chanced to lie one of our halts
at tea-time, and, as usual, my cup of tea and
slice of bread-and-butter were brought
to the buffer-beam. I had just t>een pre
sented with two large boquets which lay in
my lap. While I leisurely sipped my tea,
there suddenly appeared before me a very’
thin, toll, melancholy looking American,
having something to do with the pack train
now slowly winding off through the moun
tains. Never shall I forget the expression
of that man’s face .-is he steadily regarded
me, seated oomposisUy on the cow-catcher,
surrounded with flowers, a plate of bread
and-butter on a eundle-box near by, taking
afternoon tea. To remain silent was impoe
siblc.
“Good evening,” I said.
The mnn nodded and drew a long breath.
“Have you come far I" lie asked, aftor a
long pause.
“From the other side of tho Kocnies,” I
answered carelessly, ns if sjleaking of a stroll
round a village; '‘throe hundred miles or
SO.’ 1
“Dill you come tliut way down tho
Thompson!” he next asked, a little anxi
ously.
“0 yes—and lam going to tho sea.”
“You ain’t afraid likely!” ho continued,
looking more melancholy than evor.
“Not at all.”
“Now lisik here,” ho said, pausing be
tween each word, “if* real dangerous. I
would not do this thing fora lot or money?”
Then, thrusting his hands into his pockets
with a civil “Good evening, Missis,” he dis
appeared round the engine.

About twenty years ago I diacovered a littJr sore on my cheek, and the doctors pr*-*
Bounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, not without receiving any perma

was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
8. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before ( hail used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been baa for two or three years—l haa a hacking cough ana spit blood contin

me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but!
