Author: Macy, William Hussey, 1826-1891
Date: February 25, 1893
First Sentence: We had been very successful in the Phaeton, on the "off-shore" and Archer grounds, but when, deeply laden with sperm oil, we crowded sail upon her, bound to Valparaiso, we were obligated to keep the pumps going all the way into port.
Last Sentence: We have often, in later years, talked over our own foolishness in thus carrying gold on board in broad daylight, and then suffering a band of robbers to drift silently under our bows and take us by surprise; and surely neither of us can forget that last night spent on board our old condemned ship Phaeton in Valparaiso Bay.
