Fearless Belfast Captain Survives Lisbon Minefield Tale
Capt J O Hayes of Belfast recalls the perilous Lisbon harbor voyage aboard the Bath built schooner Rachel W Stevens owned by the Pendletons. After a 28 day crossing from Philadelphia he tangled with floating mine globes, refused a tow, and guided his crew through wires and mines to safety at the Delaware breakwater. He read Pilgrim's Progress twice during the ordeal and laughs at the danger while noting his crew hid below deck. The piece also mentions Augusta's push regarding Michael Burns and the 1887 liquor seizure case tied to Bath.
