James Albert Bouton, sou of Ira and Catharine Bouton, b. Jefferson, N. Y., Nov. 10, 1834. At the age of 18 he became interested in the whale fisheries, and sailed from New Bedford, Oct. 1853, on the ship Levi Starbuck, commanded by Capt. Jernigan, of Nan- tucket, for a voyage of three and a half years. Land- ing at the Cape Verde Islands, they doubled Cape Horn, touched at Talcahuana, Chili, and the Sandwich Islands, and spent the summer cruising for whales in the Osh- kosh Sea. In the faU they returned to the Sandwich Islands, and having obtained a supply of water and fruits, cruised during the winter in tne Southern Ocean, stopping for a time at the Marquesas Islands. The sec- ond year was a repetition of the first, but returning the third time to the Oshkosh Sea and not meeting with satisfactory success, they made their way through Behring Strait to the Arctic Ocean. Here again they were disappointed ; but returning to the Gulf of Ana- 6 82 BOUTON-BOUGHTON FAMILY. dir, on the Siberian coast, they found plenty of whales, and soon secured a cargo of oil and whalebone. One whale captured here yielded 224 barrels and 19 gallons of oil. Homeward bound they touched at the Sand- wich Islands, Society Islands, and Friendly Islands, and arrived at New Bedford in the spring of, 1857.

Among nar- row escapes from icebergs and starvation and other innumerable accidents, his boat was once dashed in pieces by a whale and he and his companions were com- pelled to remain on a cake of ice until so benumbed as to be unable to stand.
