Wreck of the steamer Aden and later naval review spectacle
Survivors from the wrecked steamer Aden reached Aden after a monsoon disaster near Socotra. The ship struck Bagradress reef on June 9, leaving many drowned or missing, with women and children saved in a lifeboat that endured ferocious seas. Rescue came after seventeen days when the Mayo’s Ifo boat took survivors aboard, leading to a display of international naval escorts near Portsmouth, featuring the Royal Navy and allied fleets and a grand night review with lights, rockets, and the famed Old Glory on the Brooklyn.

Portrait of a Frugal Landowner and Pioneer Plowmaker
A retired landowner who hid a modest five foot house on Lexington Street for fifteen years once rejected a $1000 offer to sell his strip of land and built his own home instead. He left $50,000 to a clergyman and $17,500 to a church, with the remainder to his wife and two children. The piece also cites speed talkers in Congress, noting rapid oratory by representatives and the tendency to slow with time. Chicago’s David Bradley is profiled as the oldest U.S. plowmaker, who arrived in Chicago in 1835, helped establish the first iron foundry, built a plow industry, and still heads a thriving business at eighty-five.
