Captain Hanson Sails Fountain With Small Crew
The four mast schooner Asbury Fountain, from Fernandina to Elizabeth City, reached Central Railroad docks under Captain M. Hanson with a reduced crew of two amid mutinous sailors. Engineer Peates helped, and the voyage faced minor squalls but no major trouble, following a prior wreck near Wilmington where Hanson had earlier commanded a vessel. The crew’s pay dispute led to mutiny, but the ship pressed on without a full crew, anticipating squall conditions on the return voyage to Hana in hurricane season.
