      The sea captains of New York\u2013those that are left of \u2018em, have had their share of a big dinner lately\u2013at the meetin\u2019 of the Marine Society\u2013and that reminds me of the now almost forgotten rivalries that used to exist between the different lines of packet ships and their captains, in the good old days before the war, when there was such a thing as American ship buildin\u2019. There was the Black Ball line, for example, then the Red Star line, and the Dramatic line embracin\u2019 the Shakespeare<\/em>, Sheridan<\/em>, Garrick<\/em>, Roscius<\/em>, and the Swallow Tail line, and lots of others, all first-class, and all rivals. Some of these sailin\u2019 vessels made very fast time. Sometimes they beat the steamers. A clipper has been known to make the voyage from New York to Liverpool in less than thirteen days. Slow work now, but tremendous speed at that date. The packets were all of \u2018em handsomely furnished; the table was good; and the captain was the great man of all men, much more important than a steamer captain is to-day, gettin\u2019 more money, and generally a part owner in the vessel he commanded.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Some of the old times sea captains were decided originals in their way, Captain \u201cBully\u201d Hall, for example. He had a mania for queer punishments, used to compel his officers and crew to do all sorts of funny things. Once an officer offended him. \u201cBully\u201d Hall, who was strong and tough, thereupon seized that officer, and after a tremendous tussle with him, fastened him down in the hold in a huge chicken coop along with some chickens. There cooped up, the poor officer was made all sorts of fun of by his superior, and finally was fed with corn at the captain’s order, precisely as if he were a chicken. Of course, the officer complained of the captain when he got on shore, but with all his personal faults Bully Hall was such a \u201cbully\u201d captain that his superiors let the complaint slide, and continued him in his command. Once, however, Bully Hall got his match, and that without the aid of any \u201ccomplaint.\u201d He met a boy on the dock who, bein\u2019 hungry, had undertaken to boil some potatoes in the open air, gypsy-like, and had taken a pitch pot to cook \u2018em in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Bully Hall, who thought he had a patent right to bully everybody, whether under his command or not, undertook to brow beat and interfere with this boy, windin\u2019 up by throwing out of spite a huge mop in the pot, and tellin\u2019 the boy with a sneer to \u201cboil that.\u201d The boy never said a word, but, quick as lightnin\u2019, took the mop, now soaked in grease, out of the pot, and applied it vigorously over Hall’s clothes. Hall, who was quite a dandy, this day happened to have on a brand new overcoat. Of course it was completely ruined, and made Hall look very ridiculous besides. It so chanced also that a number of the officers and men of his ship were around the dock at the time, and although these either pretended not to notice anythin\u2019 or to pursue the boy, who, after his assault on the captain, ran away, it was plain to see that they hugely enjoyed the captain’s tribulations, and that their pretendin\u2019 to catch the boy was only a blind. They didn’t catch him at any rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Captain \u201cBob\u201d Waterman was even more of a tyrant than \u201cBully\u201d Hall. Captain Bob considered himself as a sort of an Almighty on shipboard, and did just what he pleased. One mornin\u2019 a couple of sailors failed to do exactly as he told \u2018em, whereupon he quietly walked down to his cabin, got a pistol, and then, just as it as if the poor sailors were seagulls, shot \u2018em down, seriously woundin\u2019 one of \u2018em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Robert Waterman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      He was always in trouble with his men, and expected to be arrested as a regular thing, on some charge of cruelty as soon as he reached New York. This expectation was so often realized that at last he got into the way of slipping off his ship when it reached Sandy Hook, and remainin\u2019 in Jersey till the very day the ship sailed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But Captain Waterman, like Captain Hall, met his match at last. He was one day in a very bad humor, and after havin\u2019 had a few men flogged, to gratify his spleen, he began to call one of his officers names and to curse him in the presence of the crew. The insulted officer took no heed before the crew, but the moment the captain went down to his cabin, he followed him and enterin\u2019 the cabin locked the door on the captain. \u201cNow,\u201d said the officer to Waterman, \u201cwe are on equal terms in this cabin at least, and you either die or you apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Captain \u201cBob\u201d Waterman was one of the few men who, though tyrants to the weak, are not cowards to the strong, and who was a brave man all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He never winced this time. He looked the officer and his pistol full in the face, and barrel. \u201cD\u2013n you,\u201d he cried, \u201cI never apologize,\u201d and then he stood stock still, too proud to make any resistance, which he saw would be unavailin\u2019 or to call for aid, which he knew would be useless. The officer was about to pull the trigger and blow the captain into eternity, when something in his companion\u2019s bravery touched his admiration and changed his purpose. He laid down his pistol and stretched out his hand. \u201cIt is a thousand pities such a man should be such a devil,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The captain seem to understand and to agree with him, for the two men shook hands, were friends ever afterward, and from that time on Bob Waterman was much kinder, and got along much better with his men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But the most celebrated of all the New York captains of the good old times was Captain Samuel Samuels, who years later sailed the Henrietta<\/em> in its famous ocean race with the Fleetwing<\/em> and Vesta<\/em>. He was then commander of the clipper Dreadnought<\/em>, the swiftest sailin\u2019 ship afloat. On more than one occasion, in a high wind, this clipper has passed a steamer. At another time she made the voyage across the Atlantic in one day less than a Cunard steamer. This is an actual and indisputable fact. It was just thirty years ago, and the steamer the Dreadnought<\/em> beat by twenty-two hours was the Canada<\/em>. As for Captain Samuels, he was every inch a sailor and a hero. On one of his voyages on the Dreadnought<\/em> he showed an amount of fortitude and pluck which has never been\u2013which can never be\u2013excelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In a storm he saw a tremendous big wave comin\u2019. He shouted to the sailors to save \u2018emselves and then put himself under the bulwarks with one of his legs around a spar. The wave came, gashed his head and broke his leg, twistin\u2019 it and him around. The pain was so great that he fainted and would have fallen into the sea had not his sailors, who were very fond of him, risked their lives to save him. He was rescued with difficulty and was carried down to a wet sofa in the cabin with his fore-leg fractured and the bone protrudin\u2019, sufferin\u2019 excruciatin\u2019 agony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There was no surgeon on board that ship, so Samuels coolly proposed, between his groans, to turn surgeon himself and amputate his own leg then and there. But the men wouldn’t hear of their captain losin\u2019 his leg, and finally the whole crew got pullin\u2019 at the leg and tugged it into place, the captain bearin\u2019 his terrible sufferin\u2019s without a murmur. So interested did the crew get about the leg that they forgot all about the ship and the rudder for a moment. Then the tiller got loose and the rudder broke. But the broken rudder seemed to act as a temporary cure for the broken leg, for Samuels immediately forgot all about his own condition in the condition of the ship, and devoted all his energies to gettin\u2019 a new rudder constructed. Then another storm came up, and although every roll of the ship gave his leg excruciatin\u2019 torture, the heroic sufferer for two days and two nights never groaned or thought of himself, but only thought how to save the ship, which he saved at last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For two weeks he lay on that wet sofa ,in that cabin, half full of water, with that broken and unhealin\u2019 leg, bearing the tortures of the martyrs with the uncomplainin\u2019 courage of a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At last he brought the Dreadnought<\/em> into port and was carried off his ship by bein\u2019 hoisted overboard on a box to which his crew had lashed him on a mattress. Then he put both his ship and himself into repair, and in fifty-one days both the clipper and the captain’s leg were all right. Of such stuff where the clipper captains of old New York made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
