The Life of a Man Known as James Ord Unfolds
The public story of a man who used the alias James Ord begins with his dispatch to Georgetown College in Washington, where guardian Captain Ord says the English rights would make his name feared. The elder Ord then takes a Washington navy yard post to stay close to his charge, supporting him beyond his master mechanic salary. The boy recalls little of his youth abroad except a tall, sad-faced woman in fine fabrics who visited him occasionally, and a life spent largely traveling in later years.
