Captain Mayhew believes he la the last survivor of the crew of the bark burned and sunk with two other Yankee ships off Fernando de Noronha, EAazilian convict island, by the Confederate warship Alabama. After a series of adventures he was sent back by the United Stated consul from Brazil and promptly shipped on another whaler. On this next voyage he saw the U. S. 43. Kearsarge at Fayal, in the Azores, just after it had sunk the Alabama. It is a far cry, he says, from those old days to the modern times that have seen the typical old whaling barks Greyhound and Wanderer pass on. . Of those proud times, only the schooner John R.
