During the War of 1812, one necessary means of evading the enemy at sea, was deception, and hence the use of a FALSE FLAG was common for all vessels of war. See SYM-Zonia -- FALSE FLAG !! But privateers also had to survive during the conflict, and they resorted to deceptions as well: from false flags, to false cargo manifests or bills of lading, to false licenses -- and even false paint jobs and fake names for their vessels. in this CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, follow the intrigues of Capt. Abimilech Riggs and the crew of the New England shaving mill, the Wiley Reynard as they seek to evade capture by British man-o-war and privateers, in an effort to deliver a key cargo to strategically selected European ports -- during the Napoleonic wars !!! Was the Wiley Reynard really the REWARD??? (Does it get better? Show me where ...)
PLUS: Katushka delivers an EXCLUSIVE: the first shots of the Lost Stone Citadel of the Che-am-El Indians !!!
In this SPECIAL Easter issue, Unk,,Stephanie and Editor Michael Goldengate continue their investigation [Begun in the preceding GROUNDED Issue -- Ed.] of the odd history of the earliest USCS survey of the Oregon Coast, with special attention to the naming and mapping of numerous obscure rivers there!!! But UNK is dissatisfied with this inquiry, and wants to get ETHNIC on us: he diverts the conversation to a discussion of Indian Removals to the Oregon Coast Reservation, at the Siletz and Grand Ronde Agencies...
Randy Katushka reports on field research to locate the Lost Stone Citadel of the Che-Am-Ils, and Michsael comes up with an all new puzzle, but its a strange one -- based on John Wilkes Booth's portrayal of Othello -- and his "over-acting" effort to suffocate DESDEMONA !!!
BACK IN THE DAYS when Americans were a fundamentally sea-faring people, who had sailed across an ocean to settle along a seaboard, and gradually advanced their civilization INLAND along navigable waterways, it was well understood that ocean-going vessels should have for their safety and that of their crew, someplace accessible in a storm or a hurricane, that could serve as a shelter w/in which to wait out the worst of the inclement weather -- and such a place was commonly known among mariners as a HARBOR OF REFUGE indispensable to the welfare of oceangoing commerce.
SUCH SAFE HAVENS are little comprehended by the U.S. public now, either as relics of our commercial past, or as current requirements for the protection of ocean trade....
THEREFORE take a look at this archived issue of SYM-ZONIA -- PORT AUTORITY and find out what was once taken for granted, and maybe learn what the CHINESE are really doing on the Spratley Islands: that's right, they're creating a search and rescue base and a HARBOR OF REFUGE.
This document provides a lengthy summary of how William M. Eddy's 1849 official survey map of San Francisco ended up being filed in Oregon City, Oregon. It details that Eddy surveyed San Francisco in 1849 and produced an official map, but that the original map was incorporated into a 1850 federal report and filed for the public record in Oregon City. The document explores Eddy's background and work as the official surveyor of San Francisco, and discusses other related maps and surveys of the area from that time period. It also references the testimony of Milo Hoadley, who assisted Eddy, regarding details of the original San Francisco waterline.
This document provides nostalgic images and information about iconic TV shows and movies from the 1950s-1970s. It contrasts the service and patriotism of Hollywood stars during World War 2 with the anti-American views of some modern celebrities. During WWII, many actors served in the military, earning medals for valor. In contrast, some contemporary actors publicly criticize America. The document aims to honor the real-life heroism of classic Hollywood stars.
This document provides a list of famous Hollywood actors from the 1940s-1960s who served in the military during World War II, contrasting them with some modern celebrities who are critical of America. It notes that 18 of the old Hollywood stars earned over 70 medals between them for their service and valor in battles like D-Day and Iwo Jima. The document celebrates these actors for their patriotism and service to the country at a time of war, unlike some modern celebrities who are described as "anti-American."
TUGWELL: HOOVER'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NEW DEAL -- FDR library, Tugwell box ...Roch Steinbach
THIS IS A KEY MS FOR UNDERSTANDING Hoover's unique and manifold contributions to the Roosevelt NEW DEAL. It is a complete 95-page review, entitled "Hoover's Contributions to the New Deal," written in mid-1960's by one of Roosevelt's key economic advisor's , Columbia U econ P+prof REXFORD TUGWELL, of the "Brains Trust" group, and in 1966 submitted for publication to the editor of the American Political Science Review, who rejected it.
NATIONAL RECOVERY AND THE BI-PARTISAN NEW DEAL
TO BREAK THE INTELLECTUAL LOGJAM regarding what, in fact, must be the administrative orientation & operational components of a revived and effective national COMMERCIAL economy, I'm posting his otherwise unpublished paper for its potential to illustrate to what degree the NEW DEAL actually was the Bi-PARTISAN creation of the FDR administration, working on a foundation laid out by HOOVER.
IN FACT, SO completely were these early Roosevelt measures modeled on Hoover administration proposals, that Tugwell reports that “Prof. Raymond Moley feared that the new administration would be seen, not for its courageous plan for re-opening the banks and helping the many poor and unemployed, but for following the very plan outlined by the pro-banking Hoover administration.”
IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED, E.G., – as Tugwell reports -- that in 1932 Hoover had recommended that the Congress also authorize the making of direct loans through the RFC, not just to banks, but also to businesses and industries. This is remarkable, because it gives the lie to Hoover as a hands-off or laissez faire in his handling of the Depresion, and shows him not just willing to work outside his professed economic ideology, but taking the initiative against it. But the Democratic Congress refused this initiative, forcing Hoover to bargain.7 Hoover wrote of the recalcitrance of the Democratic Congress, in his Memoirs Vol III, p. 107, in a passage quoted by Tugwell, where he could be describing the New Deal:
"The authority to make loans to industry for improvement of plants – one of my strongest and most urgent points – was eliminated. Certain types of loans to stimulate exports of agricultural commodities and to set up a series of agricultural banks to make loans for production purposes, were defeated. Loans to enable closed banks to distribute the cash value of their assets were also defeated. Loans to public bodies which could have been used for reproductive public works were excluded. However, I determined to make the best of it and try to get it amended later."
ALL THESE ORIGINAL PROPOSALS of Hoover, were later restored to the RFC, most of them after Hoover had left office. It was later left to Roosevelt to recommend that Congress should make Hoover’s original initiative into law: initiatives that Roosevelt ran against in 1932. Tugwell concludes, at pp. 58-9: The RFC either as it was in being at Roosevelt’s inauguration, or s Hoover had recommended it to be, was almost entirely his invention"

In an age of utter deception, in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements in the United States Executive administration, it's important to understand that the early American patriots knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS too. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just an inkhorn "auteur" with a flair for brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! You'll think otherwise until you see our evidence. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist had covered up his Naval service?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!

The document discusses soil consistency and Atterberg limits. It defines consistency as the firmness of cohesive soils, which varies with water content. Atterberg limits - liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit - define the boundaries between solid, semi-solid, plastic, and liquid states. Tests are described to determine these limits and classify soil consistency. The plasticity index is also discussed as it relates to soil classification.
SYM-Zonia -- KIDNAPPED !! by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
On the waterfront of pioneer Astoria, law and order could be up to just one man -- in this case, Gen John Adair the first Post Office and Customs House officer charged with regulating traffic on a river that was FOUR MILES WIDE at the narrows!! In such circumstances, it helped that there was a detachment of U.S. Army regulars at the fort -- but even THEY weren't force enough to reckon with the likes of Capt. William Tichenor, in command of the schooner Emily Farnham!! Capt. Tichenor's response to law enforcement was simply to KIDNAP the army officers and sail away with them out into the ocean. NOW WHAT, SOLDIER??? Find out in "Incient on the Emily Farnham" -- Special Thanks to "Stephanie Beckon".
In this era of material deception -- in which even the nation's most formidable military threat, is supported by elements within in the United States Executive administration - it's moralizing to understand that our early American patriots also knew a thing or two about FALSE FLAGS themselves – that we can use to turn the tables on the foe. In this rare, and hard-to-obtain CLASSIC issue of SYM-Zonia, Goldengate presents the evidence that James Fenimore Cooper was not just a closeted or inkhorn "auteur" of brilliant naval adventure-stories, but that he was indeed hard-core navy: an enlisted U.S. Naval cadet -- a midshipman, or "middy' for short -- who served under Capt. Lawrence aboard the U.S. S. Hornet during the war of 1812 !! Let your mind run with the herd – OR read this FLASE FLAG issue, and consider our evidences. What does it mean that America's first and greatest novelist was a covert operative in the United States Navy? How does once cover up his Naval service – without help from within?
Plus an indispensable review of the life and times of Phillip Freneau, details on the Port Orford Pole Shift. AND the Langlois Ledger covers the Poetry Slam at the Whale-of-a-Tale café, in which Stephanie Beckon reads Eberhart's epic introduced in the STONE IDOL issue !!!
When the good ship DESDEMONA ran aground on the Middle Sands of the Columbia River, off shore of ASTORIA, it was apparently an accident attributable to fog... The SHIPWRECK left behind soon imparted a new name to the middle Sands d-- the DESDEMONA SANDS. But was it an accident? Upon closer examination the Captain's logbook reveals some very curious writing... of the nature of a CYPHER! Can you crack the code of the LAST LOG OF THE DESDEMONA?
PLUS -- never before seen photographs of the STONY POINT BIER-- the final resting place of the Mysterious Indian Mummy of Shoawater Bay !!!!
CAVEAT: This issue is not to be confused with the classic ACROPYM Puzzler -- SHIPWRECKED!!
Numerous historical documents bear witness to the existence of a mysterious STONE IDOL that was once revered as a god by the Native Americans Multnomah Indians form the areas of the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers -- where Portland now stands. The STONE IDOL was said to be located on Sauvie's Island -- called Wappato island by the natives who greeted Lewis & Clark. However, the STONE IDOL has not been seen for over 150 years and no9-one knows its whereabouts....

WITH THE OROVILLE DAM emergency spillway threatening to give way releasing a deluge and possibly Feather River downstream into a literal SHIT RIVER threatening MARYSVILLE and YUBA CITY and numerous other tranquil settlements downriver, its may be worth recalling that the denizen of MARYSILLE were once obliged to adventure into the remotest and most inaccessible regions of the Pacific coast to find SHIT RIVER itself, which was then merely mythologicial....
SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK by Michael GoldengateRoch Steinbach
Michel C. Goldengate's long-awaited Family-friendly edition of papers and logs of the 1851 Shi"x" Exploring Expedition is still in preparation. Until that work of advanced scholarship is completed and released, there remains a unique back- issue of SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK, which includes the ONLY existing historical account of the first recorded appearance of young Vitus Wackenreuder, working as a surveyor in Marysville, California, in 1851. the SPELLCHECK issue offers to Players Mr. Goldengate's unique & ORIGINAL VISION of a lost expedition into the savage interior of Southern Oregon -- an area still almost impenetrable today -- to find the headwaters of the "Shix River" -- a river now known as the "Sixes RIver".. This issue hints at the Pathfinder's last grab at Exploratory laurels, on a journey undertaken by a dejected Col. John Charles Fremont, accompanied by the peerless Marysville surveyor Vitus Wackenreuder. By Goldengate's count, this expedition, was to become known as Fremont's 5th and 1/2 Expedition.
Fremont prevailed upon the comparatively unknown young Wackenrueder to accompany him: Wackenreuder had only recently reached Marysville, Ca., and had bought his theodollte and tripod from the Post Office proprietor, and set up shop as a surveyor. And so they formed a team, and debarked for Port Orford, Oregon, with the blessing of San Francisco Custom's Inspector Thomas Butler King. The rest is almost history ...
This document discusses navigational hazards along the coast of South Carolina and how they received their names. It focuses on "Drunken Dick Shoal" in Maffitt's Channel leading to Charleston Harbor. The author notes that Drunken Dick Shoal, like Desdemona Sands previously discussed, received its poetic yet unfortunate name from an accident of maritime navigation. The document seeks to explain how Drunken Dick Shoal got its name in under 3 sentences.

Guided only by the mysterious 4-sheet composite "Map of California & Part of Nevada" -- evidently part of the CGS or USGS surveys ca , 1872, but with topographical touches by the untouchable VITUS WACKENREUDER (cartographical mastermind of the American west) -- the family wends its way out of San Francisco, and races towards Marysville!!
But will they reach SYM-FONIC alive? Can YOU interpret Wackenreuder's masterpiece accurately, in order to identify the SECRET location of the 2013 SYM-FONIC, and arrive in time to meet the SYM-FONIC experts assembled in the flesh?

WITH THE OROVILLE DAM emergency spillway threatening to give way releasing a deluge and possibly Feather River downstream into a literal SHIT RIVER threatening MARYSVILLE and YUBA CITY and numerous other tranquil settlements downriver, its may be worth recalling that the denizen of MARYSILLE were once obliged to adventure into the remotest and most inaccessible regions of the Pacific coast to find SHIT RIVER itself, which was then merely mythologicial....
SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK by Michael GoldengateRoch Steinbach
Michel C. Goldengate's long-awaited Family-friendly edition of papers and logs of the 1851 Shi"x" Exploring Expedition is still in preparation. Until that work of advanced scholarship is completed and released, there remains a unique back- issue of SYM-Zonia -- SPELLCHECK, which includes the ONLY existing historical account of the first recorded appearance of young Vitus Wackenreuder, working as a surveyor in Marysville, California, in 1851. the SPELLCHECK issue offers to Players Mr. Goldengate's unique & ORIGINAL VISION of a lost expedition into the savage interior of Southern Oregon -- an area still almost impenetrable today -- to find the headwaters of the "Shix River" -- a river now known as the "Sixes RIver".. This issue hints at the Pathfinder's last grab at Exploratory laurels, on a journey undertaken by a dejected Col. John Charles Fremont, accompanied by the peerless Marysville surveyor Vitus Wackenreuder. By Goldengate's count, this expedition, was to become known as Fremont's 5th and 1/2 Expedition.
Fremont prevailed upon the comparatively unknown young Wackenrueder to accompany him: Wackenreuder had only recently reached Marysville, Ca., and had bought his theodollte and tripod from the Post Office proprietor, and set up shop as a surveyor. And so they formed a team, and debarked for Port Orford, Oregon, with the blessing of San Francisco Custom's Inspector Thomas Butler King. The rest is almost history ...
This document discusses navigational hazards along the coast of South Carolina and how they received their names. It focuses on "Drunken Dick Shoal" in Maffitt's Channel leading to Charleston Harbor. The author notes that Drunken Dick Shoal, like Desdemona Sands previously discussed, received its poetic yet unfortunate name from an accident of maritime navigation. The document seeks to explain how Drunken Dick Shoal got its name in under 3 sentences.
SYM-Zonia -- SYM-FONIC by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
Upgrade your brain's software now, by going SYM-FONIC !! But can you do it? There's really only one way ....
Michael C. Goldengate and Suzy-Cue take off with the baby on a California Quest unlike any other -- to find the location of the semi-annual SYM-FONIC gathering!!
Guided only by the mysterious 4-sheet composite "Map of California & Part of Nevada" -- evidently part of the CGS or USGS surveys ca , 1872, but with topographical touches by the untouchable VITUS WACKENREUDER (cartographical mastermind of the American west) -- the family wends its way out of San Francisco, and races towards Marysville!!
But will they reach SYM-FONIC alive? Can YOU interpret Wackenreuder's masterpiece accurately, in order to identify the SECRET location of the 2013 SYM-FONIC, and arrive in time to meet the SYM-FONIC experts assembled in the flesh? This issue has it all: including a handy TIP-SHEET, summarizing some of the methods you should have learned from your BACK ISSUES of SYM-Zonia !! Hope you saved your back issues !!
In which was addressed for the first time in World history ''Who was the Perpetrator of the Perplexing Plats of the Umpqua River Watershed" and how & why did create such wild, colorful and geeky oddball municipal plats for the cities and towns of Douglas County -- for instance "DRAIN" !! FEATURING A
PERTINENT GUEST CONTRIBUTION FROM ASS DR. BECKON !!
In this classic, hard-to-find, 2012 issue of SYM-Zonia, Michael Goldengate's metaphysical inclinations are stirred by contemplation of a patriotic portrayal of LADY LIBERTY -- who, upon closer examination, appears to be PREGNANT and with CHILD!! Upon delivery of the child, the poster becomes a true BIRTHER, and the new concept a bona fide POSTER CHILD !!
But, HOW NOW? The child is an idea, or -- better put -- a concept conceived by the contemplation of a RIDDLE !! And the question under consideration is, that most mysterious number PHI, aka the Golden Ratio !! Is it really an IRRATIONAL number, as conventionally supposed? Or does it in fact simply masquerade as IRRATIONAL, while disclosing its truly RATIONAL aspects only upon examination? Could it be, then, that it is an irrational number which tends toward rationality? Or does it tend that way, only to those who are properly INITIATED in ...
...the Secrets of SYM-Zonia !! ??
The document provides an overview of the complex history of attempts to find the Northwest Passage by various explorers between the 16th and 19th centuries. It summarizes expeditions led by Martin Frobisher, William Baffin, John Ross, Edward Parry, Thomas Simpson, and Francis McClintock. It then focuses on the ill-fated expedition of Sir John Franklin in 1845 aboard HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, describing their disappearance and McClintock's 1859 discovery of clues to their fate, including abandoned materials and human remains.
Following immediately on the heels of the "sleeper" SEQUESTERED Issue from Last Week,, this SHORT-SHEETED issue was the Big Kahuna of 2013 ! Never before and never since has the United States Navy suffered a mutiny on one of its ships, much less on a TRAINING VESSEL!!! The Somers Mutiny Affiair stands alone in the annals of U.S history as the darkest day ever for naval discipline. But was the sentence meted out to midshipman Philip Spencer et al, a just one? The truth of the matter is, that his "Sheet anchor of Greek Code" hbas been misunderstood as a simplistic transliteration of English into Greek .. but on this LEVIATHAN of a Puzzler, Goldengate takes the laurels as he lays out the case for 'A CODE WITHIN THE CODE" !!!!
Sometimes you're HOT.. and you can just feel it. In this issue Michael C. Goldengate takes on "THE SYSTEM" embodied by the NSA search-engine and panopticon spy apparatus GARGLE -- and WINS! How did he do it? The answer, simply was that he really WAS "feeling lucky" and so clicked on the "FEELING LUCKY" button under the GARGLE data-entry field... But what PRECISELY was he searching for? The answer of course, is that Goldengate was researching the background of a unique, ancient, and very mysterious G.L.O. (General Land Office ) survey map titled Township 25 North Range 2 West, Willamette Meridian -- or T 25 N R 2 W, WM for short -- when he struck on this novel idea of simply rolling the dice... because he was indeed "FEELING LUCKY" !!! Find out what Goldengate discovers!! Is the T 25 N R 2 W WM map really the work of Charles S. Frailey, Chief clerk at the G.L.O. and Edgar Allen Poe's cipher-crunching interlocutor? Frailley was known to his Masonic associates as the "G.L.O.-Worm."
HERE IT IS -- PERHAPS THE APEX of internet-based online historical puzzling, the classic CAUGHT ON TYPE !! issue of the PYM PUZZLER, edited by A.P. Dromgoole. This timeless issue craftily discloses, almost for the first time, the true but hidden history of the California Gold Rush, which opened not in 1849 with an exodus of New Englanders from the EAST Coast, but INSTEAD in August, 18848, with an exodus of OREGONIANS from the PACIFIC coast, -- from the Willamette Valley, in particular, heading south to California. The story begins when a strange single-masted vessel moors along the waterfront in Oregon City, just below the Falls, and begins buying up all the supplies in town !!! Why? SOON ENOUGH word leaks out of the gold strikes in the Sacramento valley, and before long wagon-trains are forming up locally, and men are leaving behind their well-tended fields and crops,their homesteads, and even their wives and children, for a long-shot chance to STRIKE IT RICH !! Amongst these men are some significant figures, who will soon make their mark on California history -- most notably the Honorable "P.' who makes a point of soliciting into his company, one young man, Charlie Putnam: the unknown, nondescript typesetter for the only newspaper being published on the Tualatin Plains in 1848 !! But just who was "The Honorable P" and why did he want to bring Charley along, of all people in the valley? Luckily some of their conversation was CAUGHT ON TYPE !! So perhaps you can find out, in why .... Only in PM PUZZLER -- CAUGHT ON TYPE !!
The document discusses how many famous Hollywood actors from the 1940s-1960s served in World War II, in contrast to some modern celebrities who are critical of the United States. It provides details on 18 actors who fought, including James Stewart serving as a bomber pilot, Clark Gable enlisting in the Army Air Force, and Audie Murphy receiving numerous medals including the Medal of Honor for his service. The document argues these "real Hollywood heroes" proudly served their country unlike some modern entertainers who "bite the hand that feeds them."
The document discusses how many famous Hollywood actors from the 1940s-1960s served in World War II, with over 70 combined medals earned between just 18 actors. It contrasts their patriotism and willingness to serve with criticisms, noting they loved the US and did not protest against it like some celebrities today. Examples given include James Stewart serving as a bomber pilot in over 20 missions, and Audie Murphy receiving the Medal of Honor and numerous other honors for his service.
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY WINES now enjoy a reputation for excellence, being well-received and served in establishments of hospitality, well, almost worldwide. Wines of the Jump-Off Joe Wining District are especially sought-after, by those in-the-know. But the earlier history of this Southern Oregon wine-growing region, and some of its pre-eminent Pioneer Wines, are not so well known. This vintage matured in 1894!
NOTE: The images shown in this story, are from R.E. Ivans, M.E., C.E., unique manuscript Map of the Placer Mining Properties .. on Jump Off Joe Creek (1898). This map could be copyrighted !!! – and we don’t mess with legitimate copyrights. See, e.g., How Do You Explain the Shipwrack of David Fasold’s Noah’s Ark? [Last week – Ed.] so we’re only going to show a miniature, and a few bits and pieces – just to be honorable. Players!!! Rest assured: this has nothing to do with withholding the true location of the real Bummer Gulch and Henry Wine’s claim. Or his hidden cache ….. Because – who would guess that they switched the names around, on later maps !!!! Meanwhile, most of the events related in this story took place up Jump-Off Joe, about 4-5 years before this humdinger of a map was made.
But the story began earlier... much, much earlier ….and, in digging into the lodes in the neighborhood of Jump-Off-Joe Creek, you'll learn the answer to The age-old question "WHY DO THEY CALL IT BUMMER GULCH?"
YES.. this is indeed the very FIRST issue oF SYM-ZOnia !!

ROBERT AITKEN'S PROPOSAL FOR A NONPARIEL DUODECIMO SCHOOL BIBLE Roch Steinbach
COMPILATION OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTION OF CORRESPONDENCE, NOTES & SAMPLE PAGES, 1777-1787 FROM ROBERT AITKEN, JOHN DUNLAP AND OTHERS RELATED TO ROBERT'S AITKEN'S PROPOSAL FOR A CONGRESSIONALLY APPROVED BIBLE FOR COMMON (PUBLIC) USE AND IN SCHOOLS.
On or about February 7, 2014, the U.S. State Department, under the leadership of Secretary of State John Forbes
Kerry, in the person of U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jennifer Rene Psaki, acknowledged, authenticated and
adopted the Nuland-Pyatt cell-phone conversation, offered as People’s Exhibit “A”. A partial but otherwise true and
correct excerpt from Spokeswoman Psaki’s press conference is linked ABOVE as People’s Exhibit “B.”
Conclusive evidence relative to the preparation of an illegal coup being formulated in the United States Department of
State, directed against the legitimate and duly elected democratic government of President Victor Yanuakovich and his
Party of Regents-dominated parliament, appears in the Exhibit “A” taped in cell-phone conversation of Assistant
Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, with U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt. As also seen in
Exhibit “A”, these two parties discussed at some length, which puppet-minister the U.S. State Dept. should immediately
install as President of Ukraine, after the evidently-contemplated ouster of the democratically elected Ukrainian
President Yanukovich. Nuland referred to the various puppet-candidates in her slate, by their nick-names, or perhaps
pet names she had adopted for them, suggesting their proximity and familiarity to her, and the Obama Administration,
as power-brokers in what we would see as the new Neo-Nazi Svoboda government. At the close of the cell phone
conversation, Nuland indicated that someone by the name of “BIDEN” was also involved in the prepartions for this
coup, and that “Biden was willing.”
In acknowledging, authenticating and adopting the Nuland-Pyatt cell-phone conversation, per Exhibit “B”, while not
repudiating the contents of the conversation, nor moving to quell the international scandal and this foreseeable
crisis -- etiher at that time of the release, or at any time thereafter over the intervening ten weeks up to and including
the very moment of this impending crisis -- the United States Department of State of the Administration of President
Barrack Obama either impliedly adopted the criminal acts therein disclosed as in preparation, or else admitted by
its silence, its direct role in plotting the overthrow of the sitting head of a foreign sovereign State, as in fact later
occurred: leading directly to a foreseeable military confrontation with Russia, and to this global crisis.
As we learned in the Last Issue of YANKEE SCOUT – Fredericksburg!! – the Union Army is now reeling with the implications of a military,strategic and moral catastrophe precipitated by growing awareness of the grim news, of it’s unprecedented battlefield losses incurred before Fredericksburg, Virginia, on December 12, 1862 – a scene of carnage that was already being dubbed “the Slaughter Pen” by the men, even as it was occurring.
United States Army forces commanded by Gen. Ambrose Burnside, saw a staggering level of losses: Pvt. Drew will peg
the Yankee killed under Gen. Burnside at 12,172 -- men uselessly sacrificed at the Battle of Fredericksburg: for not a single square inch of rebel-held territory has been taken, and Burnside has finally been forced to retreat again, north across the Rappahannock.
Meanwhile, the loss to Gen. Lee’s rebel Army of Virginia Drew reckons on the order of 5, 377. Up to this point in the Civil War, only casualties on the battlefield at Antietam, the preceding September, can compare with these new numbers of Yankee lives extinguished. Gen. Burnside, too, has seen better days. After removing Gen. McClellan (again) President Lincoln
had offered Burnside command of the Army of the Potomac in
recognition of his signal victories at Roanoke Island and New Bern, early in the war. …
Now however, after Fredericksburg, the winds of destiny seem to have shifted against Gen. Burnside ….
The ignominy now to be achieved through his pointless "MUD CAMPAIGN" will now finish his command of the Army of the Potomac, and President Lincoln will hand the Army to Hooker, placing GEN. JOHN SEDGWICK in command of the 6th Corps.
What engagement of the Civil War was so resoundingly successful for the Army of the Potomac, that it sent the Confederates on a 50-mile retreat back to Richmond ? Col. Seidule's "Official West Point History of the Civil War" doesn't even mention the Battle of Williasmburg, much less that Gen. Hancock's brilliant penetration of Rebel defensive lines at Fort Magruder, and his surreptitious occupation of a series of redoubts behind the lines, enabled him to take Gen Early's Army totally by surprise, and ROUT them Rebs, sending them on a midnight retreat, and earning Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock the nickname "the Superb."
Here's the story you've never heard before -- Hancock's Charge
NOTES ON SKETCHES K AND K NO. 2 FROM LT. MacARTHUR'S PRELIMINARY SURVEY of th...Roch Steinbach
Certainly the best way to gain an appreciation for the merits of a harbor, is to attend to the operations of its harbor pilots, and the opinions of those who have worked and run their vessels in the harbor itself. The SECOND great American survey of the Harbor of the Mouth of the Columbia was conducted in 1850, under the command of Lt. William P. MacArthur, U.S.N. [The first survey was in 1841, under Comm. Wilkes of the United States Exploring Expedition.] Lt. MacArthur's survey not only required weeks for his team, in triangulations and soundings, to develop a full hydrographic profile and thus an entirely revamped, and scientifically up-to-date chart of the harbor; but its clear also that Lt. MacArthur and his team held numerous interviews with -- and toured the river mouth with -- the extraordinary men who had already mapped the channels in their mind: namely, river pilots like Capt. Charles White, Capt. George Flavel and maybe even Capt. Wm. Tichenor, founder of Port Orford. This research paper begins to scratch into the history of this survey, the re "discovery" of the South Channel so critical to safe commercial shipping, and Lt. MacArthur's role in Oregon City, addressing the Territorial Government on the critical issue of necessary harbor improvements ...
YANKEE SCOUT -- Calif Newton Drew BiographyRoch Steinbach
These pages, giving a short biographical sketch of Calif Newton Drew, of Whitneyville, Maine, have been extracted from the volume Portrait and Biographical Record of Western Oregon (1904), which is available at the Internet Archive site. The entry for Drew opens with the lines "CALIF NEWTON DREW a hero of the Civil War ..."
Until lately, a handful of Civil War and genealogical websites had this text posted, and it regularly returned in Google and other search engine querries -- but was apparently "Memory-holed" over the New Year. Here it is again !! We'll link to the book too.
Indispensable development of ASTORIA into a 21st C deep-water port facility capable of handling the latest TRIPLE E-class container carriers (45 ft draft) doesn't mean lack of attention to the history of heritage of the Columbia River waterfront!! No-one knows this more than SYM-Zonia. In his rare back-issue, we explore some of the pre-historic and forgotten maritime heritage, that MUST be preserved along the South Channel ....
PYM Puzzler -- DOUBLEVISION: ASTORIA or Astoria?Roch Steinbach
Once the overwhelming complex decision is made, to develop regional deep-water port facilities at the PORT OF ASTORIA to handle international cargo in and out of the Willamette Valley and the Columbia River Watershed, the question remains, as to how best to transport the heavy volume of international cargo inland to Portland and Clackamas County -- where Oregon's premier manufacturing centers are located.
Will one MAGLEV line direct to Portland be sufficient, if it follows the existing right-of-way of the PNW? Or will another line due south into Washington County be necessary as well?
These and other questions were under consideration at SYM-Zonia over five years ago!!
A year later,the Oregon business community remains trapped in a dilemma following the shutdown of TERMINAL 6 at the PORT OF PORTLAND -- where can international deepwater shipping BEST be handled?
This ancient issue of the PYM Puzzler asked the question FIRST -- will THIRD MILLENIUM DEEP-WATER PORT FACILITITES be built ..... at ASTORIA or FLAVEL???
Find out the surprise answer !!!
YANKEE SCOUT -- Death on the Picket Line !! Roch Steinbach
In this FOURTH ISSUE of YANKEE SCOUT, Gen Hancock's brigade together with "Baldy" Smith's Division move their forces out across Chain Bridge in early September, and break ground for the construction of Fort Ethan Allen. Once completed, the heavy artillery are emplaced, and the brigades move further into enemy territory and set up camp at Lewinsville -- snugged up against the Rebel camps near Scott's Run, in Fairfax County, Virginia, C.S.A. !! Pvt. Drew and some friends are selected to conduct a reconnaissance of the Fairfax county lands south toward Falls Church -- but they are apprehended by Reb cavalry !!! Is there any way to escape ? There is... if you know what "V.M.M" stands for !! FIND OUT !!
Later, there's a problem: them Rebs is moving by night to attack the end of McCall's line of Union pickets: and in the morning a number of pickets have been found dead. General Hancock want to know what can be done, and Drew's services are offered... he takes two friends, a Springfield, some line ... and, well .... we better not spoil the suspense !!
In this THIRD ISSUE of YANKEE SCOUT in the Civil War, as Pvt. Drew and his comrades of the 6th Maine Infantry regiment assume their posts on the Maryland side of Chain Bridge, crossing the Potomac to the sacred Soil of Virginia, they are stunned to be met by dozens upon dozens of retreating Union soldiers, fleeing from the Yankees first and most humiliating defeat at Manassas Junction, on the little creek called Bull Run !!
What could have gone wrong? A total lack of proper military training, and no uniformity to the tactical drill, for one thing; then there's those old muskets, and a lack of target practice, and those silly uniforms that the Fire Zouaves wore!!
President Lincoln calls in Gen George B. McClellan from the battefields of West Virginia, and gives him command of the entire Union Army, and charges him with organizing it in the best professional fashion...
McClellan gets busy,. and soon there is a meticulously organized campground, better food, new Springfield 1861 rifles, daily tactical drilling , and new officers appearing in camp. Pvt. Drew and the 6th Maine Infantry regiment luck out, and are assigned to a new brigade formed under Brigadier General Winfield Scott Hancock -- who will go on to become one of the winningest generals in the Civil War. And, heck, that's a pretty good start ... I'll say ....
In this SECOND jam-packed issue of YANKEE SCOUT (TM), 15 year-old Calif Newton Drew returns to his hometown of Machias, Maine, from logging in the backwoods, only to learn the news relayed by telegraph, that President Lincoln has called fro 75,000 volunteers to join a new Union Army to be deployed to defend Washington D.C. against Secessionists in Virginia and Maryland !! However, because he had been out a few days, his hometown regiment is FULL UP and has already met it's quota ! So Drew and a few friends take the ferry boat up to Eastport, Maine on Moose Island and join the regiment there. Drew strips down to his birthday suit for his physical -- and one of the doctors says he is too young, "You are nothing but a kid !!" and not strong enough to serve -- so Drew lays the Doctor out flat on the floor with one punch !! And he's in the ARMY!! ....
The new soldiers train at Fort Sullivan using tactical manuals and muskets dating all the way back to the War of 1812, and finally are sent on a patriotic tour of American battlefields, as they make their way towards D.C. !!
Find out about the Baltimore Riots of April 19th-20th, the taboo subject of the Confederate burning of the bridges on the P.W.& B.RR line into Baltimore, and the details of the mysterious "Baltimore Plot" to assassinate President Lincoln !!
Finally, on July 20th Drew and his new comrades arrive in Washington, D.C. and are lodged in the old Hall of Congress, and then, the next day, are ordered 6 miles out of Washington to the D.C. perimeter at Chain Bridge ... where they hear the distant cannons sounding at Manassas Junction, the sounds of the Battle of Bull Run !!!
Three months after the closure of the Port of Portland's T-6 -- Oregon's only international deep-water commercial seaport -- we "take the plunge" into Oregon history and explain something of the economic geography that first lead to the development of the Port of Portland -- WAY back in the 1850's. The KEY: it was nothing more than a low, "floor-level" wagon-road from the Tualatin Valley down to the Willamette River waterfront.. the Sylvan Road into Goose Hollow: the same route now traversed by tens of thousand of vehicles a day, in and out of Portland, through the Sylvan Tunnels.
But in this 21st C economy, this slim 19th C. advantage is no longer adequate or sufficient to enable Portland to maintain its competitiveness as a deep-water port: other economic considerations far outweigh this situation: and so Terminal 6 was closed to deep-water shipping and will never re-open. Despite the fact that geography and hydrology dictate this situation, the media in Portland -- including the Oregonian, OPB, and major "talk" entrepreneurs like Lars Larson on KXL, -- continue to scapegoat the ILWU for slowdowns, and in doing so, not only succeed in slandering labor generally, but also conceal from Oregonians the real cause of the T-6 closure, thus distracting them from understanding where the only real solution lies: namely, at Astoria.
In this 90-day update, we take a look at few of these quaint features of the Port of Portland, that made it such a charming Port city, and show how its harbor facility stacks up against those at the Port of Astoria.
WITH THE CLOSURE of Terminal 6 at Oregon's Port of Portland, the Oregon business and manufacturing community, Oregon farmers, and U.S. farmers upriver along the Columbia as far as Idaho and into Montana, have lost their natural, primary and economic access to commercial international deep-water shipping: a key commercial trade route that was enhanced under FDR, under the Columba River Dam project. Now, however, these manufacturers and farmers have been compelled instead to re-direct their commerce into the Port of Seattle-Tacoma -- Seaport -- in order to keep their business alive. The level of commercial traffic now being re-routed over surface streets exceeds 2000 double semi-trucks per day, in addition to rail traffic, at a level which is unsustainable and costly.
SINCE T-6 CLOSED almost a year ago, the resulting increase in volume at Seaport (due to re-routed Oregon commerce) recently prompted Ports of America to terminate its lease with the Port of Oakland, effective Feb. 19, 2016, and announce it would concentrate operations in Tacoma. Peter Ford, Chief Strategy Officer for Ports of America, stated that the reason for leaving Oakland, was to prepare operations in Seaport for Triple-E generation ships, which will soon begin traffic through the upgraded Panama Canal. This is good, but Ports of America's decision to expand services at Seaport, will also entrench an economic paradigm that, for us in Oregon, is regressive and inefficient: it is non-competitive for Oregonians, and a disservice to our economic development; and for many operators up and down the Columbia river, it ultimately will lead to business losses and closures.
UNDER THESE ECONOMIC circumstances, neither Oregon, nor the Pacific coast community, nor America as an economic entity, can afford to overlook the key position which the Port of Astoria holds at the mouth of the "Great River of the West" -- the Columbia River. The Columbia River constitutes the ONLY low-land, nearly sea-level commercial access from the Pacific Ocean into the interior basins of America. At all our other Pacific ports -- Longbeach, Oakland and Seattle-Tacoma -- access is impeded by the rugged and high mountains of the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascade Ranges. Furthermore, Astoria is actually closer to Asian ports, than those in California and Washington.
IT IS NOW BECOMING a national economic imperative therefore, that the United States should retain and advance its role as a key international economic power, and thereby defend the interests and general welfare of its citizens individually, by tapping into the commercial potential of peerless Harbor at the Mouth of the Columbia, with its 20 square miles of anchorage, and its miles upon miles of harbor frontage situated directly on the main shipping channel, with room enough for dozens, even scores of perpendicular berths for even the largest Next-Gen Triple-E carriers, and more than enough room for development of necessary rail yards.

If you love Melville's Bartleby, you'll want to get your hands on a copy of Michael C. Goldengate's "The BARTLEBY COMPANION" Coming Soon!!
Be sure and read the PYM PUZZLER ESCAPADE issue for further details.
- P, the editor of the puzzler, has gone missing after going to get coffee for over a week. An anonymous ransom note was found on his desk demanding money and a map from the General Land Office survey.
- This puzzles the writer as it seems P's kidnapping mirrors what happened earlier in the year to contributor Edmund Elmendorf.
- The kidnappers seem interested in a historic Oregon map from the GLO survey that was discussed in Elmendorf's previous articles, which theorized the map contained secret codes related to the Freemasons.
Edmund Elmendorf may have owned a slave according to a historical receipt, raising questions about the reality versus fiction of legal documents from the time period of Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby the Scrivener". The story describes Bartleby and other clerks copying legal documents, but details of their work are vague and their actions may have included forging documents. This Puzzler challenges readers to investigate whether any fictionalized court cases were produced and if Bartleby himself was fictionalizing legal documents through his "stone-wall reveries".

Baltimore -- Ed.] and in the upper lefthand quadrant, an engraving of the American Naval heroes of the War of 1812
voyaging out of BOSTON and shown making a beachhead landing in some Ideal Temple, in which the Deeds of Such
Great Patriots are enshrined: about to receive their Eternal REWARD … !!! The current issue follows on, more or less,
our FALSE FLAG issue – the tie-in being primarily through Capt. James Lawrence, the commander of the U.S.S.
Hornet, mentor and close friend of Mids James Fenimore Cooper, and Capt. Lawrence’s later command, of the U.S.S.
Chesapeake – this time ill-fated out of BOSTON.
Players -- after the successful “Cruise of the Hornet” in which Cooper the Middy played such an important role, and
other successes, Lt. Lawrence was advanced to the rank of Captain and given command of the U.S.S. Chesapeake frigate-
- which, as we now know, in voyaging from Boston harbor on June 1, 1813, was immediately engaged and captured by
the H.M.S. Shannon. As noted Last Week,
the crew of the Chesapeake, including Big
Dick, were taken prisoner and transported
to Dartmoor Prison for the duration of the
war – however, unfortunately …
Capt. Lawrence and most of the other
officers aboard the Chesapeake were killed
in the fighting… and went to claim their
REWARD . There was quite a magnificent
funeral procession held in New York City,
in honor of Capt. Lawrence … Players!
There’s more on the war of 1812 below!
But First …. !!!
3. HAS KAJTUSHKA ALREADY FOUND …
April 30, 2013
Hey Michael:
I found something. A few things in fact … I was able to make my way back to the site I identified a couple weeks
ago, and , well…. Remember those battlements I had pictures of? It looks like they may have been just some stumps!! I
swear, I had just about given up on this project, and was coming down from Mt. You-Know-Where when I stumbled –
literally – on a huge jumbled pile of boulders on the [Redacted – Ed.] side of the mountain, just below the summit. I
hadn’t seen anything like this anywhere out here. At the very least, it indicates the raw material for such a supposed
“Stone Citadel” are … really here … To tell you the truth, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this kind of “erratic” geology
on any of the mountaintops around here… PLUS – I found … something else … could be important. Does that
Indian dude… Tashtego? What’s his name? …. have a map or anything? Starting to actually like this assignment.
Pix enclosed!!
P.S. Also -- I think we stumbled into a
Sasquatch midden! You can see in this photo
piles of Sasquatch-scat scattered all over across
the road! Crazy! I wAnted to get a sample, but
my navigator thought it was too risky to get out
and investigate. We just locked the doors and
drove on…..
P.P.S. ALMOST FORGOT - - I blew a tire on
the way down!! They’re using 5” or better gravel
up here! Had to get a matching set. I need you to
cover that, man. Invoice attached. Wire it ASAP!
Randy
And now …..
4. WHO WAS the SECOND SURVEYOR on the SCREW-STEAMER COLUMBIA,
WHO VENTURED to VOYAGE with VITUS WACKENREUDER
the BETTER to PLAT …. PORT ORFORD, (Oregon)?
/or … Who [! -- Ed.] was “J.C.F.” ?
Not JOHN CHARLES FREMONT ???
OKAY! Last Week’s 2nd OPINION Issue of S.Y.M.-Zonia™
sought to break new ground on the perennially vexing problem of
those deviously discrepant surveys of Port Orford (Oregon) !!!
Including the mapped layout of Port Orford, as it appears on the so-
called Port Orford Inset of Lt. Robert Stockton Williamson in his
Sketch of a Reconnoissance of the Umpqua …. map, from ca. Sept-
Dec. 1851, as well as on the more official Map of the City and Harbor
of Port Orford done by Vitus Wackenreuder, and dated July 15,
1851!!
And, to add to the difficulty-level, the problem now seems
intextricably intertwingled with a serious jumble in the identification
of the rivers that drain the Pacific Slope region of the Oregon country
… Holy Smith Hubbard & Tichenor!!! Both Lt. William P.
MacArthur’s 1851 series of THREE SHEETS to the WIND U.S.C.S.
charts, and the followup 1855 U.S.C.S. charts prepared by a party
under the command of Lt. James Alden are little short of a mess!!!
And, lest we forget, there are also some … issues … affecting the
rivers on Lt. Robert Stockton Williamson’s own Sketch of a
Reconnoissance etc. etc. !!! Whereas, I once thought I had SHIT
RIVER tied down, I now realize the whole thing was … completely
up for grabs!!! Of course, I needed a 2nd
OPINION !!!!
5. The premise of Last Week’s issue was, that certain sources, including vintage newspaper clippings [Sample included
above – Ed.] from the region, indicate that -- contrary to widely-held assumptions regarding Southern Oregon history --
Vitus Wackenreuder was not the ONLY surveyor retained by Capt. Wm. Tichenor and the “Port Orford Company” to
layout this new municipality… but IN FACT there was someone else who had been retained in his [Or her !! Because it
could have been a girl !!!! Theoretically!! I mean, we can’t rule it out!! – Ed. ] professional capacity as a surveyor.
This SCOOP! was a pretty revolutionary idea when we at S.Y.M-Zonia™ introduced it to the world – just Last Week!!!
TWO SURVEYORS!!! Remember?
PLAYERS!!! This unknown, yet-to-be-identified PROFESSIONAL SURVEYOR voyaged with Vitus on the steamer
Columbia, leaving San Francisco and arriving in Port Orford, to view the aftermath of the massacre at Battle Rock, and
found scattered about the beach, stray sheets of a journal account of the events of June 9-25, which seemed to suggest the
Settlers of Battle Rock had met with grave misfortune and probably been killed by the Indians!!! But PLAYERS!!! I
could go on for another three pages just summarizing everything you already know, or that you can find in Last
Week’s @nd OPINION Issue !!! So rather than do that, why don’t we just see what it is that Ass Dr. Beckon
has to say about the matter …
Stephanie’s documentation follows!!!
6. Click to Enlarge! There it is !! James C. Franklin!
J.C.F. Just like she said, Players: Franklin is identified as one of the affiants on Capt. Tichenor’s original Donation
Land Claim filed in Oregon City, in 1851. Is my disappointment as palpable as it feels?? But Players -- I never
really said that is was Fremont – did I??
At any rate, before I capitu… I mean.. just to ensure that I was properly authenticating the
matter, I spoke with S.Y.M-Zonia™ expert Native American Anthropologist Unk-Known
PLAYERS!!! even before I could raise the subject, he volunteered that the Statesman
correspondent with the initials “J.C.F.” was none other than James C. Franklin, whom, he said,
also corresponded with Oregon’s first Territorial Governor at the time, Gen. Joe Lane! UNK
has been researching the gubernatorial career of Gov. Lane, and has copied a number of pieces
of Franklin’s correspondence – some of it dealing with Tichenor and Port Orford !!! Maybe
he’ll send some in!!!
PLAYERS!! “J. C. F.” was James C. Franklin !! NOT Col. John C. Fremont ?!! of course, I never
said it was !! On the other hand, as Stephanie noted, James C. Franklin was NOT A SURVEYOR – and so there
still remains SOME UNCERTAINTY as to precisely whomever was! Him. Furthermore, there’s no mention in the
genealogical records sent in by Ass. Dr. Beckon, that there even was a second surveyor on site at Port Orford! Weird.
That is to say, there may be some hope!! PLAYERS!!! I SAY …. It remains to be finally determined….
WHO WAS the SECOND SURVEYOR on the SIDE-WHEEL [] STEAMER COLUMBIA,
WHO VENTURED to VOYAGE with VITUS WACKENREUDER
the BETTER to PLAT …. PORT ORFORD, (Oregon)?
And now …
7. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING
WHERE is the PRIZE REPORT for the SHAVING MILL WILEY REYNARD
and COULD IT POSSIBLY BE … the REWARD ?
SHAVING MILLS? What’s a Shaving Mill?
Players!! Before we get underweigh, we need for you to
all gain your innnerlecktual sea-legs!!!! And to make this
possible – to ensure that you have this necessary fundamental
sensibility and grasp of the subject, please refer at once to
Gargle and search up Shaving Mills !!! Should you fail
immediately to find the necessary anything, Gargle up
“Shaving Mills 1812” etc. – PLAYERS!! Or knot-tying!!
Search well!! Once you’re done studying up, please come
back and we’ll commence again! Meanwhile I’ll be listening
to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2W1Wi2U9sQ
[Ready? -- Ed.]
Shaving Mills in the War of 1812
At the time of the U.S. Declaration of War vs. Great
Britain, June 16, 1812, the U.S. Navy was able to field only a
meager list of vessels consisted of (roughly) some nine
frigates, 3-4 ships, 4-5 brigs and maybe a dozen other smaller
vessels – less than TWO DOZEN !!! -- as well as maybe 120
gunboats.1
To engage Great Britain’s naval supremacy effectively was to
require the enlistment of private marine vessels – “privateers”
-- under an incentive system which granted prize rewards of
captive cargo, to successful adventurers, as adjudicated under
a traditional maritime law prize-court system – and our
courts were empowered by statute, to hear such cases, in all
major U.S. port cities, throughout the coastal states.
“The Declaration of War found the naval
preparations in so imperfect a condition, that the Constellation
38 [guns], Chesapeake 38, Adams 28, were not ready even to
receive crews, while it was found necessary to rebuild entirely
the New York 36, Boston 28, and General Greene 28.,”
Cooper, History of the Navy, Chapt XXXIII, p. 301.
Players! These privateers were smaller boats; Big Dick
was probably too big by far to man one of them … !!!!
So, What’s a Shaving Mill ?
1
Cf. , e.g., the similarities in two contemporary naval force assessments, “Secret Reports of John Howe, 1808” American
Historical Review, p. 319, 353, Vol. 17, No. 2 (Jan, 1912) ; w/ Thomas Clark, Sketches of the Naval History of the
United States, p. 175, “List of the Navy of the United States:, May 1, 1813,” (Philadelphia, 1813).
8. These smaller vessels were common to Maine and New England, and authorized to attack British merchant vessels and
their regular navy ships, was a coastal or harbor pilot boat, of the schooner type, but freshly decked-over, and outfitted
with one or two swivel-mounted cannon, and manned, by from one to about three dozen men, armed for “boarding” with
pistols, muskets and cutlasses. This type of vessel was known as a “shaving mill”.
“Shaving Mills” were usually fitted out in Maine, and were to be found cruising from the Bay of Fundy as far as St. John
and the St. Lawrence River. C.H.J. Snider, Under the Red Jack, p. 87, states:
“A Shaving Mill was an open boat, manned by as many as thirty men, pulling sixty oars, and
mounting a small cannon or swivels, beside the muskets of the crew. The shaving mills excited the
abhorence of their own countrymen, but they carried on their depredations under commissions from
President Madison, and they throve [sic]. For example:
BOSTON, Oct. 18th, 1813 -- Arrived on Monday night a Shaving Mill, the General Pike, carrying
one 6-pounder and two swivels; but not being pleased with the reception they met with at this Port
(their Shocking Appearance creating general Disgust) they sailed again the next forenoon." St. John,
New Brunswick, Courier.
The Shaving Mills – all privateers – I have so far found, were operating under direct executive commissions from
President James Madison:
The General Pike (of Boston?)
The Dart of Portland
The whaleboat Weasel [?] of Castine, Daniel SNOW, Capt.
The Jefferson
The Dolphin
The last two, Jefferson and Dolphin, were often companion vessels, cruising together under one captain. There were
certainly scores – in fact, hundreds – of other shaving mills fighting for the U.S. during the War of 1812. See the
Appendix of Prize Captures in Russell, History of American Privateers, (1816)
The Wiley Reynard, Capt. Lane
Another one of these shaving mills was the “Wiley Reynard” of Boston, Capt. Lane. "The Wiley Reynard was not
much larger than a whaleboat, but of a different type; a fast-sailing decked-over pilot schooner hailing from Boston.
She measured only twenty-two tons, mounted one gun, and started out with a crew of twenty-three men." Snider, Under
the Red Jack, p. 90 (1928). MaClay confirms: she "was a Boston schooner, hastily prepared for private enterprise on the
high seas." History of American Privateers, p. 234.
PLAYERS!!! First -- The Wiley Reynard is of interest for a variety of reasons: first, as one of numerous vessels –
such as the USS Nautilus and the merchantman Oronoko of the New York firm Archibald Gracie2
Wait … Did I say …. “Declaration of War”…..????
& Sons -- the Wiley
Reynard is recorded as taken or captured by the HMS Shannon, Capt. (Vere) Broke, during the weeks immediately
following the Congressional Declaration of War against Great Britain, yet before the Shannon’s pursuit of the USS
Constitution of ca. July 17-20, 1812. Of course, to reiterate, the most famous role for the Shannon, was in its
engagement with the U.S.S. Chesapeake, in June of 1813 --
We need a little time out here!!! I missed this in the False Flag Issue !!!
2
Builder of New York’s Gracie Mansion. Archibald Gracie & Sons sent four vessels from Lisbon to the U.S. in the
week before the Declaration of War, in 1812. Two of these, the Oronoko and the Eliza Gracie, were captured by the
H.M.S. Shannon, Capt. Broke. The Eliza Gracie was burned and her captain taken prisoner on the Shannon; the
Oronoko was sent into Halifax for prize adjudication.
9. TIME OUT !!!
The DECLARATION of WAR – 1812
PLAYERS!!! What were the four bases or rationales upon which the U. S. Congress authorized a Declaration of
War against Great Britain ?? Look here: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/metsnav/common/navigate.do?oid=VAC2957
for President Madison’s Message to Congress … Recommending an Immediate Declaration of War Against Great
Britain from June 1-3, 1812!! You can summarize his Message to Congress into four major points --
1) The impressments of our sailors
2) The right of search
3) The inciting the Indians to attack our frontiers
4) The Orders in Council
The opening Sentence of President James Madison’s Request for a
Declaration of War takes the reader, in his mind, immediately back
to 1803, when the British issued new Orders in Council against
trade, and war was begun between the United States, and the
Barbary States of Tunis and Tripoli!!
PLAYERS: both these city-states were surrogate and puppet-
dependent slave states of the British Empire, but brilliant U.S.
operations in the Tripolitan War crushed their influence. Yet
President Madison makes it clear that the English were engaged in a
war against the Republic, “going back beyond their renewal in
1803…” He’s referring to the first Orders in Council inhibiting
trade, which were issued a decade earlier – in 1793, and ‘94!!!
After 1803, our young Republic patiently endured a decade of
depredations at the hands of the British -- year after year, forbearing
to engage her with our youthful military might and naval
expertise!!! Then – despite her own engagement in the Napoleonic
wars -- in May, 1806, the British declared the entire continental
coast, from the Elbe to Brest, under a state of blockade!! What?
Then, the Orders in Council of 1807 – proposed to shut down our
trade with neutral nations – and so forth!! Year after year she
violated our sovereignty, our right to trade with other nations, all the
while inflicting the worst injustices upon our citizens – particularly
our sailors and their families, and the merchants and industries
which depended on them!! Details – some other time !!!
PLAYERS: Madison’s MESSAGE was referred to the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, which shortly thereafter issued it’s
own Report : recommending “an immediate appeal to ARMS”
just days before the Congressional Declaration of War of June
16!! PLAYERS !!! Can you find it on Gargle? That’s’ some great
reading, and another good introduction to the causes of the
Impressments War of 1812 !! Meanwhile, you can read more about that in Pres. Madison’s MESSAGE and check
out Massachusetts State H.R. Report “On the Subject of Impressed Seamen” (Russel & Cutler, 1813) on Gargle!!!
The anemic British Declaration in response was issued January 10, 1813, under the authority of Edward, Prince
Regent. For more, search for a House Committee Report called Barbarities of the Enemy Exposed (1814).
PLAYERS!!! For some reason, none of the rationales for the Impressments War of 1812, were mentioned in the Treaty
of Ghent (1816) which closed the war and ceased (overt) hostilities …. WHY? Or , if you prefer… WHY NOT?
Okay … TIME IN !!!
10. NOW: back to the Wiley Reynard:
… Second, PLAYERS!!! the Wiley Reynard is of interest because of its fairly esoteric name, inasmuch as (you
might think, that !!!! ) few 19th
C. Maine whale-fishermen or pilot-boat captains would care about the medieval Anglo-
French literary heritage of Reynard the Fox, which dates, notably back to time of Chaucer and Robert Manning !!!
Wowee!! What was our captain reading to want to perpetuate the name… on his boat?
Well, while the sailors along the Atlantic Coast were highly cultivated, vigorously competent men, and filled with zest
and humor, nevertheless -- it’s WAR!!! And to encourage enlistments, the other privateer vessels are being
belligerently, thunderingly named – or renamed -- as e.g., “General Washington,” “General Tompkins” “Comet”
“Yankee Patriot,” “Orders in Council,” “Rattlesnake,” “Revenge,” and the like, in anticipation of war service!! Against
that competition -- those fire-breathing names -- the name “Wiley Reynard” is not so well-calculated to strike fear into
the heart of the enemy, and is hardly likely rally the courage of the sailors, to sign on to service on board her!!!
What’s in a name??? Well, Players!!! You want sailors to sign on to your service!!!3
Right? Players: none of these
vessels were called “The Rose”!4
But the Wiley Reynard did somehow gain a full complement of able-bodied seamen … and a number of early prizes!!!
Third, as to the Wiley Reynard, either Capt. Lane or Capt. Riggs – or both! -- had a further hang-up about Medieval
French spelling of her name!! PLAYERS!!! In the midst of an outbreak of WAR, you might think that fewer still
sailors might be pre-occupied with the variant medieval spellings for “wily” (English) or “Reynard” (Frenchish), much
less be niggling enough to rename and repaint their boats to reflect new revelations of ME Anglo-Norman orthography!
Although Snider attributes the spelling variants to “much trouble ….given the chroniclers,” E.S. MaClay, History of
American Privateers, establishes that the variants are not merely typographical, nor instances of confusion, nor even
simple misspellings, but in fact actual name changes. He writes: "The Wile Renard -- at first commissioned as the Wiley
Reynard, of one gun" Etc., etc., etc…...
But the Wiley Reynard’s name in the historical record appeared spelled in a number of variant forms – E.G.:
Wiley Reynard …
Wily Reynard …
Wild Reynard …
Wile Renard …
Wiley Re’nard … Last known name !!
Note that last one! Snider reports, "Under the Red Jack". p. 90, that British Prize Court papers, aka Vice-Admiralty
court papers … “speak of her as the Wiley Re’nard" I.E. That’s her NEW official name !! GET IT RIGHT!!!
Don’t forget the apostrophe!!! It’s an OFFICIAL apostrophe !!!!
YES !!! Captain Riggs must have had time to rethink, and got in one last name change of his vessel -- this time with an
arcane apostrophe representing the elision of an already unsounded quasi-consonant “y”. PLAYERS!!!! Such
dedication on the part of Capt. Abimilech Riggs!! In between capturing British merchant vessels, and taking them into
Boston as Prizes – to have the presence of mind to elide an unsounded consonant, repaint his boat, and petition for a
revised Commission from President Madison! Wowee!!! How many sea-captains do YOU know -- in you
neighborhood, or along the broader waterfront -- who are quite so scrupulous about Medieval French Orthography?
Wowee!! Capt. Abimelech Riggs -- truly an officer and a gentleman … and!! … a careful speller.
3
PLAYERS!!! Read the Chapter 16 of Moby Dick for instance: If you’re going whaling, do you sign on the Devil Dam,
the Tit-Bit, or the Pequod? What’s that last name mean anyway? Is it Indian? Or .. is it like “Boston”?
4
Although there was a British whaleship called The Rose, operating at about this time. It was in the Pacific during the
outbreak of the War, and was soon taken as a prize by commodore David Porter, of the U.S.S Essex.
11. Yes -- as I said: there is the issue of the mechanics of commissioning of the privateer: as the vessels’ names were
official names, under which the vessels were uniquely licensed to engage British merchant and Admiralty vessels, any
changes painted on the vessel in fact, would require re-commissioning and re-issuing of re-documentation, to reflect the
new name – or in these cases, the new spelling.
PLAYERS!! I’m sure glad to know President Madison was willing
to re-issue papers for Capt. Abimelech Riggs, every time he wanted
to niggle with the spelling of his boat – aren’t you? Shown at right
are some papers from the early “Wiley Reynard” period …
Cruises and Captures of Wiley Reynard, Capt. Lane
The Wiley Reynard had an initial cruise after the declaration of war,
which was very successful. Snider says the first cruise was under the
command of Capt. Lane. MaClay assigns nine captures to her first
cruise, “taking in all three ships, two brigs, and four schooners..."
including Schooner Sally, from Sydney, Nova Scotia, which got
safely into Boston. MaClay does not name others. In addition to the
Sally, W. G. Russell, in the Appendix to History of the War Between
the United States and Great Britain (1816) (Gargle Book) lists
four other captures -- p. 378, ff. All are the schooners:
No. 82 -- Schooner Three Brothers taken into Boston
No. 92 -- Schooner Polly taken into Boston
No. 173 -- Schooner Providence taken into New York
No. 1550 -- Schooner Peggy taken into … Portland ?
But the papers say Boston !! I expect to find the remaining vessels
identified in Coggeshalle’s History of American Privateers and
Letters-of-Marque. (1856;1861).
It was shortly into her second cruise, that the Wiley Reynard was
captured by H.B.M. Shannon, Capt. Broke. PLAYERS!! As I said,
this is the same frigate that took the U.S.S. Chesapeake, Capt.
Lawrence, and made prisoners of her crew – including Big Dick !!!
Capt. Lawrence -- Mids. Cooper’s close friend and mentor -- was
killed in that engagement!
Atrocities of Wiley Reynard, Capt. Abimelech Riggs
On her second cruise, the Wiley Reynard was captained by the
ferociously predatory Abimelech Riggs. There are a number of incidents reported in the Nova Scotia newspapers of the
day. According to one contemporary newspaper account, referenced in Snider:
"A number of hungry picaroon privateers have greatly distressed the coasts and fisherman of the province [of
Nova Scotia] and its vicinity. The Schooner Peggy, Terrio [Capt.] (that is, commanded by Capt. Theriault)
from Sydney, with coals, after having been chased into one or two harbours to the eastward, was, on the
30th July, with several others, pursued into Pope's harbour by the Wiley Reynard, 1 gun and 20 men -- only
seven then on board. "
The privateer Captain (ironical italics on the part of the newspaper) boarded the Peggy, snapped his rusty
pistol three times at a commander, beat one of Terrio's sons in a most severe and barbarous manner, merely
because, as the rascal said, they had run the vessel so far up the harbour."
According to the Halifax Chronicle for late 1812, quoted by Snider:
12. The small shallop Three Brothers of Manchester was on 23rd July captured of White Islands by the pilot-
boat-built privateer Wild Reynard, of and from Boston, carrying one 6-pounder, swivels and muskets,
commanded by Abimelech Riggs. While the privateer was taking an inventory of the articles on board
another shallop hove in sight. This they brought to, and took out of her three barrels of Indian meal and one
of tar, and put the crew of the Three Brothers and some female passengers on board -- not before the men's
chests were plundered and everything in them, even to a small child's pair of shoes, and a paper of pins
belonging to one of the women. The other shallop they plundered completely -- indeed, took from one of the
poor men a tolerable good pair of trousers he had on." [Nice touch!] Snider, p. 90-1.
Per Snider, the Nova Scotia Royal Gazette recorded the same incident:
“The Wild Reynard rows 24 oars. On board her are two Englishmen, who told Thos. Hearty, master of the
shallop Three Brothers, they had deserted from an English ship-pf-war. – One of them called himself
Second Lieutenant Hopkins.” 5
But it was to get worse. Late in the year 1812, the Nova Scotia Royal Gazette published this story of Riggs’s wanton
American terrorism along the shores of Nova Scotia:
Id., p. 91
...On the night of October 8th
[1812] a boat’s crew from an American privateer later identified as the Wiley
Reynard landed on Sheep Island at the mouth of the Tusket River, inhabited by Francis Clements, a poor
man, and his family. On hearing the voices Clements stepped out of his door. He had not gone five paces
down the path to the water when a ruffian shot him through the head with a pistol. Then the gang rushed
into the house, abused Mrs. Clements in a shameful manner, ransacked the place, and carried off the pigs and
fowls and sheep. They dragged poor Clements’ body some distance towards their boat, but, abandoning it,
put out to sea with their booty.
As a follow-up, on December 31, 1812, the Nova Scotia Royal Gazette published this plea:
IN DEEP DISTRESS
“The Widow and Nine Orphan Children of the late Francis Clements, murdered on Sheep Island – the oldest
17, and the second daughter has lost the use of he limbs and is entirely helpless. Subscription lists have been
left at the Exchange Coffee house, and at the Stationery Store of Messrs. J & D. Howe, where the smallest
donation will be gratefully received.”
The problem is, that the dates of the two ostensible cruises seem hopelessly overlapping, with some of the stories stating
Riggs as active in July, as well as in October – leaving no room for Capt. Lane. That is, unless Lane took nine vessels
within a month; while Riggs’ cruise lasted from July through October. Etc.
Nevertheless ….
The Wiley Reynard Captured & Sent In To Halifax
Under the vicious Riggs, the littoral depredations of the Wiley Reynard were ere long interrupted by the HMS Shannon,
Capt. Phillip Bowes Vere Broke, ca. October 12, 1812; and the captured vessel (and her crew) were sent into Halifax,
Nova Scotia, for prize-adjudication before the Vice-Admiralty Prize Court there.6
Wowee!!!! PLAYERS – I don’t know about you, but I could use another Time out!!!!
MaClay gives the date a week earlier:
“On her second cruise she was captured October 4, 1812, by the Shannon, Capt. Philip Bowes Vere Broke. MacClay, p.
234. Snider confirms: “She made two good cruises before she was caught by Capt. Broke, in his good ship the
Shannon, in October, 1812.” Snider, Under the Red Jack, p. 90.
Howaboutit?

The Three Brothers, Fitch, is reported in the same volume of Vice-Admiralty records, p. 99 (1814)

Dr. Alexander Croke, Judge.
13. TIME OUT !!
BOSTON DOCKAGE RECORDS DURING the BLOCKADE of 1812 !!!
United States Frigates on Board
AMOS BINNEY U.S.S. United States
U.S.S. President
U.S.S. Congress
U.S.S. Hornet
Players – On October 12, 1812, when the Wiley Re’nard / Wile Renard / Wily Reynard, etc. etc. was captured and sent
into Halifax, most of the U.S. Naval fleet as still blockaded in within the Boston or New York harbors !!!
Remember? See the FALSE FLAG issue for details !!! And – as noted above, the United States Navy was “nascent”
and hardly fit to receive a crew !!!! The privateers were ALMOST the only means of prosecuting OUR war!!!
The above dockage records for Boston, October 14, 1812, show no less than 4 U. S. frigates taking on stores in Boston -
- on that date alone!! The well-known Amos Binney, U.S. Naval Agent at Boston, was loading up the frigates United
States, the President, the Congress, and the U.S.S. Hornet with a wide range durable supplies, including barrels of rich
sorghum molasses, boxes and boxes of lime juice, and tons upon tons of cordage – to repair rigging mostly, but also for
towline.
YES: Players: I suspect that the American Navy of 1812, knew their gunnery was so powerful and so accurately
calibrated, and their vessels so maneuverable, that a U.S.S. frigate could dismast a British vessel in the twinkling of an
eye!!! Ka-POW!!! Like the U.S.S. Hornet destroyed the H.M.S. Peacock, which we watched in the FALSE FLAG
issue!!!! But, Alas, a dismasted vessel of the HBM Admiralty, had no longer any means of forward locomotion – and
so, if it didn’t just sink to the bottom, like the Peacock, it would have to be TOWED into port. Meanwhile, just two
weeks after taking on the molasses, lime juice and cordage, as we also know from the recent FALSE FLAG issue, the
U.S.S. Constitution, Commodore Bainbridge, with the U.S. sloop-of-war Hornet, Lt. Lawrence, would soon slip out
Boston harbor, eluding the blockading British force, and make for the open ocean !!! They did so on the night of
October 26, 1812 -- with the help of the Middy, James Fenimore Cooper – of whom, indications are good, that he was
already a recruit in the United States Secret Service.
TIME IN !!!!
14. Problems with the Documentation and the Story
But Snider also says Wiley Reynard was taken -- with her companions vessel, Eunice of Boston -- but not by the
Shannon, instead by the Nova Scotian vessel HMS Sir John Sherbrooke [ that is, the vessel, not the contemporaneous
governor of Nova Scotia, Sir John Sherbrooke] which brought them both before the Court of Vice-Admiralty….. in June,
1813! Snider, p. 90. Which is it? Which was it?
Obviously this inconsistency – as well as many others -- plus the lurid details reported in the Halifax Chronicle, etc., are
enough to send one searching for the Wiley Reynard’s case report from Halifax Vice-Admiralty. Those records exist,
apparently: as noted, Snider says, Under the Red Jack, p. 90, that "Vice-Admiralty court papers speak of her as the
Wiley Re’nard". Snider, p. 90, also says that Wiley Reynard was allowed to go [from prize court] with his second vessel;
and on p. 92 he discusses testimony given at the prize trial – although without giving a source reference.
Where is the Case Report for the Wiley Reynard?
No amount of Gargling variant versions of the name “Wiley Reynard” w/ “Halifax” returns anything like a prize
adjudiucation – although there is much relevant material on the names of the crew, and their imprisonment at Halifax .
Barring that, the fallback search terms I used were simply the name of Capt. Abimilech Riggs’ companion vessel the
Eunice, and Riggs, Halifax: this – happily enough – lead immediately to a heretofore priceless yet almost unknown case
reporter from Halifax Vice-Admiralty, REPORTS OF CASES Argued and Determined in the Court of Vice-Admiralty
at Halifax, Nova Scotia, from the commencement of the war, in 1803 to the End of the Year 1813, (London, 1813).
The case title Eunice, and Riggs name as captain, establishes the identity of the report, and the text of the opinion
confirms it, with repeated references to the lurid contemporary newspaper accounts !!! PLAYERS!!! It sounds very
much like Capt. Rigg’s barbarian ravages, as reported in the pages of the Halifax
Chronicle, Nova Scotia Royal Gazette, etc.

July 15, 1813
JUDGMENT – Dr. Croke,
"THIS is a case upon a license granted by Mr. Allan, under the authority of
Admiral Sawyer, similar to what was decided upon in the case of the Reward,
in this court. The case of the Hope and others, has been quoted from a
community newspaper, by the counsel for the claimants, in which it is stated,
that the High Court of Admiralty had pronounced, that the licenses came within
the meaning of the Orders in Council, and had decreed restitution under them.
I see no necessity for the court to reconsider the principles of decision which
guided it in the case of the Reward, or to enter into all the topics which have
been argued in relation to that subject, because there are other grounds amply
sufficient to enable it to pass judgment in the present case. But I may observe
by the way, that most certainly the unauthenticated reports of newspapers
cannot posses any authority in a court of justice [PLAYERS -- could this be
a reference to the many Halifax news reports of the Wiley Reynard ... (see above)? – Ed. ] especially when
the very inaccurate mode in which they are usually given, is taken into consideration; I must however admit
that some attention might be due to particular cases, upon the footing of common notoriety, and where they
are accompanied with internal marks, or other proofs of their genuineness and correctness. And indeed the
usual reports of all courts of justice, since there are no official reporters, depend for their weight and
authenticity, solely upon the credit of reporters, and other external and internal characters of veracity.
Of considerable inaccuracy in the account of the case now offered to the court, there is abundant proof..... 7
Etc. OKAY!!! But… PLAYERS!! Where is the case report of the Wiley Reynard? OR … or …

Vice-Admiralty Reports, p. 99. Could it be … ??
15. Is the Wiley Reynard … the Reward ?
At this point you will probably wonder whether the court’s repeated references in the Eunice opinion, to the “Reward” --
where you have been expecting the “Reynard” -- isn’t merely a typo for the Reynard ? Hmmmmm.
Throughout it’s opinion in the case of the Eunice, Capt. Riggs, the prize court, Judge Croker, refers repeatedly to the
opinion in the case of the vessel Reward, Capt. Hill. And – PLAYERS – an identification of the two seems alsmot to
be substantiated, when we note Snider’s reference, in Under the Red Jack, to the Vice-Admiralty report: Snider says,
Under the Red Jack. p. 90, that, there was one last NAME CHANGE …
"Vice-Admiralty court papers speak of her as the Wiley Re’nard"….
When last seen. … she was the Wiley Re’nard
PLAYERS: Was there … one LAST name change? In fact, this is the one time the boat’s name appears without the
“y” and with the apostrophe – RE’NARD -- so that the spelling and number of letters matches the “precedent case”
almost exactly, i.e. -- REWARD. The conclusion is further encouraged by the London publisher’s use of Italics
typeface and a very muddy method of printing in the 1814 case reporter: set in Italics font the letter-strokes “open out” so
that the “n” of Re’nard looks something like a “v’, and the completely meaningless apostrophe (replacing the “y”)
almost becomes the first downstroke of a “w”. You can almost get the effect with this very WORD font:
Re’nard = Reward ?
PLAYERS – It’s very much like asking the mind to outdo OCR software!! As you might do on any given day, when
you outdo text recognition software -- for instance: to get a text off Gargle Book !!!!
BUT !!! Would Captain Abimilech Riggs DO such a thing? Rename his boat …
I mean, he had only renamed his boat -- heck .. what was it??? FIVE TIMES? In the midst of a hot war … Each time
changing maybe a single letter – evidently to reflect a fresh nuance in his ever-evolving understanding of medieval
French orthography – and each time requiring a FRESH COMMISSION from the White House, even direct from
President Madison !!! PLAYERS!!!! After all that effort – DO YOU THINK he would try to change the name of his
shaving mill, after she had been taken as a … prize? Now that it had in fact become … a Reward?
Now that his vessel has been captured, it’s maybe not looking to him, or feeling quite so “WILEY” anymore … Now that
it’s been captured by the H.M.S. Shannon, Capt. Broke, it’s the Shannon’s PRIZE, and all the booty taken in the cruise
of the Wiley Reynard will be split by the officers and crew of the Shannon – the RE’NARD has become their REWARD
Reward = Re’nard =
Would Captain Riggs re-name his boat … ONE LAST TIME??
16. Darn tootin’ !!!!!
And his doing so, would explain why there is no case report for the Wiley Reynard in the Vice-Admiralty reporter.
But there may be a rich Reward …. for you, PLAYERS!!! Can YOU find it??
Youngstermembers and all readers, who have diligently searched it out over the last
7 pages, working on this problem: this Halifax Vice Admiralty Reporter (1814)
appears to be a veritable goldmine of the history of commerce, naval warfare, and
prize law during the period. The Eunice is in there!! Maybe your Reward is too !!
The Judge at Halifax, and the author of the prize-court opinions in the Vice-Admiralty
Reporter (1814) was Dr. Alexander Croke, later Sir Alexander Croke. During the
first decade of the 19th
century, he was acting administrator of Nova Scotia, during the
temporary absence of lieutenant-governor, Sir George Prevost. In addition to his legal
and administrative skills, Croke was a distinguished Latinist and occasional poet, with
at least two volumes of critical commentary on Latin poetry, and one of his own verse,
published at Oxford. Given the purely artful integration of the historical texts around
this Wiley Reynard /Reward interface, it appears that Croke had an ulterior design to
advance the humanities at all costs – maybe even if he had to make art out of war!!
Litorally.8
Furthermore, given the inextricably interwoven nature of the 1814 case-
book as a whole – which is a veritable puzzle palace -- it seems entirely plausible that
he was also an American sympathizer and active agent. 9
Players … DID YOU FIND IT?
Part of the United States’
SECRET SERVICE!!
WHERE is the PRIZE REPORT for the SHAVING MILL WILEY REYNARD
and COULD IT POSSIBLY BE … the REWARD ?
FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ~ !!!!! But … I can hardly wait !!!!
And … what about the 2nd Surveyor? If not John Charles Fremont,
then who was the SECOND SURVEYOR at Port Orford?
In 1850 and 1851, Vitus Wackenreuder –
let’s call him “V.W.” for short – he had
his offices in Marysville (California)
at the confluence of the Feather and
the Yuba Rivers. Old V.W. hung out
his shingle at the New Orleans
Hotel there in Marysville. Not
much chance, then, of his ever
meeting Colonel Fremont who, if he
had if he had been looking for surveyor
work, was closer to Sacramento, or
Stockton, and in 1851 was up the San Joaquin River, and on his ranch, La Marisposa ..
Dagnabit ….

Or if he was not, suspicions would have to fall on his reporter and clerk.
