Captain Merrill was born at South

manced his seafaring career
at the early age of thir-
teen years, on the sloop Lady Wash-
ington, which hailed from Sag Harbor,
but laid up at East Marion. After
three years in the coasting service,
than being 16 years of age, he ship~
pad on his first whaling voyage as .1
common scaman. but from which iic
afterward worked his way up to second
mate, During his Voyages he passcd
around the war-id three times. landed
on the coast of Alaska. on the eastern
coast of Russia, stopped six different
times at the Sandwich islands, crossed
the equator sixteen different times.

six burials at sea and helped to kill
lfiu‘whales.

Captain Merrill was also a Forty-

Merrill came home and once more on-

a record of iifty~iiine years of continual
sea service, not. a your passing In that
time but what he was at sea.

The latter part of Captain Morrill‘s
seafaring life was passed as master of
two different yachtswtho Sen Witch

a good memory and states that when
he first went to New York there was
not a house with a half mile south of

him to the gold fields is now alive.
