Letter From a Sailor Aboard the Hartford in 900s
A wartime missive dated February 21 from Mrs Georgia Cauffman’s son aboard the Hartford details a long voyage from San Francisco, sea life, and inland adventures. He describes sickness, sea storms, shipboard pranks, a barber dunking tank, port calls at Juan Fernandes and Valparaiso, exchanges with Chilean officers, trading with natives, and prices in Chile. He notes exams, lamp work, and the longing to return home to ordinary life and family.

Strikers at Croton Dam Arm and Ready to Fight
About 100 armed deputies guard the Croton dam site as Italian laborers refuse to return to work. Strikers, well armed with pistols and revolvers, vow to defend their cause, while deputies complain of poor food and overtime. Gen Roe orders out cavalry units to secure the six mile stretch, expecting about 160 infantry and 50 cavalry to quell the strike.
