Admiral Evans Seeks Home and Rest After Notable Fleet Tour
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, famed as the Fighting Bolt, contemplates home and retirement after piloting the largest fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific. San Francisco plans a May welcome, while Evans favors a southern California plantation or Porto Rico estate for winter life with his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Sewall, and grandchildren Robly Evans Jr. and Dorothy Sewall. The Washington home near the Capitol, a Taylor family mansion, remains central to his story, where he married Charlotte Taylor in 1871 and where his naval career began. The piece recounts his romance, marriage, and the blend of public life with a private, home-centered future.

Survival Drama of Tillie E Starbuck Crew in Pacific Drift
William Kuhmann aboard the Voltaire recounts eight weeks adrift in an open boat with six survivors from the Tillie E Starbuck after the ship sank off South America. Two sailors died before rescue by a British vessel. Kuhmann recovered in Valparaiso while the fate of a second lifeboat remains unknown. The Starbuck struck in late July during a fierce storm, leaving the crew to abandon ship and endure thirst, exposure, and exhaustion as they drifted about a thousand miles from the nearest shore before rescue broke their ordeal.
