4 ° Lewis 4 Dryden's Marine History o£ the Pacific Norfhwest Taylor, which had been in use as a pilot boat on the bar, left the Columbia to trade on Puget Sound, taking with her L. B. Hastings and F. W. Pettigrove, the founders of Portland, who on their arrival on the Sound still further perpetuated their names by starting the city of Port Townsend. The bark Success was running in the coasting trade in command of Captain Coupe, * who owned a half interest in the vessel, and the bark trontes carried away a cargo of piles from Seattle. Other regular traders along the coast were the brigs 2Vonibareil , Cycloibs , Villimanlic, Potomac " and Eagle. The IVozibareil was a ven- erable craft, built in Yarmouth in 183 2 . She registered 134 tons and was eighty-two feet in length, twenty-two feet beam, and eight feet depth of hold. Early in May the Potomac grounded while passing out of the mouth of the river with a cargo of lumber for San Francisco, jettisoned her deck load, and, after several hours' thumping, worked back to Astoria, where a survey was ordered, the result of which was a decision that the expense of repairing would amount to more than her value. Addison Drinkwater was master of the craft, and the  surveyors were Thomas Goodwin. shipwright, William H. Meloy and A. Williams, ship masters. The brig -Uillimanlic also had an interest- ing experience this year while en route from San Francisco to Astoria " " with ballast and stores. She entered Gray's Harbor by mistake, and after blowing around there for several days finally stranded, but was afterward floated without serious damage. The Cyclops narrowly escaped going ashore at the mouth of the river in November, and was so badly shaken up that it was necessary to transfer a portion of her deck load to the brig Lyra. In the fall of t852 a party of seventy gold-hunters bought the brig Eagle in Portland and sailed for Queen Charlotte's Island on a prospecting tour. The expedition was a failure, and they returned to Olympia, where the vessel was sold at a sacrifice. The bark CAr. Co W. HO,' Desdemona, A. B. Richardson, master, was running regularly between Oak Point and San Francisco, and in October R. R. Thompson and S. I-I. Lyon purchased an interest in the bark New World, 278 tons, at San Francisco, and operated her in the Columbia River and California trade, ia command of Capt. Charles Gill, who also owned an interest in her. There was little change in marine matters in British Columbia at this period. The Hudson's Bay Company received the usual number of vessels from England, the ship IVorman Morrison returning with several passengers, among them Capt. John Sabiston, '-' the well known British Columbia pilot, and Thomas Flewin, who is still in  Capt. Thomas Coupe was born in New Brunswick in 818, and began going to sea when he was but twelve years old, running on the Atlantic Coast until the early fifties, when he came around to the Pacific. He arrived on Puget Sound in 852 in the bark Success, of which he was half owner, and took up a 32o-acre claim on Whidby Island, where he was joined by his family the following year. It is on this claim that the present town of Coupeviile stands. While in the coasting trade with the bark Success, Captain Coupe sailed the vessel up through Deception Pass, a feat never before or since undertaken by a similar vessel without the aid of steam power. He was for a long time sailing master on the Jeff Davis, the first revenue cutter on Puget Sound, and subsequently built a number of small schooners which he operated on the Sound. The steamer Success was also one of his ventures. Toward the end of his life he retired to his farm on Whidby Island, remainitg there until his death, which occurred December 27, 1875.  Among the crew of the Polomac, which was trading along the coast during 852, was I. W. Gore, who has continued in this bu-iness for over forty years. Captain Gove was born in Maine in 832 , came West when but a boy, ant began sailing out of San Francisco on the Polomac, from which he ent to the bark Sarah Warren, seta,ing as mate for nearly four years. His next position was on the well-known old-timer, the Nahumkeag, the first vessel owned by the Port Blakeley Mill Company. He remained on her several years, and lft to take command of the Oak Hill, going from the latter to the bark Sam[son, which had been reconstructed from an old gunboat 267 feet in length, with both ends alike. After two years on the Samlson , he returned to the Oak Hill, but soon left her to take the bark/. A'. Ham, with which he made over one hundred trips between San Francisco and Puget Sound, finding a home on her for over twenty years before ill luck finally overtook her, leaving her bones on Dungeness Spt in 894. Capt. John F. Sabiston was born in the Orkney Islands in t88, and after " spending his early life sailing out of English and Scottish ports arrived in Victoria in 1852 on the Hudson's Bay ship rorman Itlorrison, and soon after joined the Beaver, on which he had some very racy experiences as sailing master with Cap- tains Dodd and Stewart. He left ihe Beaver at Fort Simpson, and, as Captain Dodd wouht not give him transportation to Victoria, he came down in a canoe, CART. W. H.
