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 ...
Rickover and the Nuclear Navy: the discipline of technologyLeonam Guimarães
This document provides information about the preface of the book "Rickover and the Nuclear Navy: The Discipline of Technology". Specifically, it states that:
1) The preface on pages xvii-xix has been altered to correct a typesetting error in the printed book, rearranging some paragraphs but leaving all text unchanged.
2) The book was published in 1989 by the Naval Institute Press in Annapolis, Maryland and discusses Admiral Hyman Rickover and his pivotal role in developing the U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion program.
3) Copyright information is provided for the foreword as well as cataloging information from the Library of Congress.
The document summarizes the events leading up to the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. It describes various incidents of British naval ships interfering with American merchant vessels and impressing American sailors despite protests. The Chesapeake-Leopard Affair, in which a British ship fired upon an American frigate, greatly increased tensions. While the eastern states opposed war, western pioneers and "War Hawks" pushed for war to seize British Canada and Spanish Florida. In 1812, citing neutral rights and impressment issues, the US declared war on Britain despite having a much smaller military and naval force.

This document discusses native advertising and how it compares to traditional online advertising. It argues that native advertising is more effective because it provides valuable content to users rather than interruptive ads. When done correctly, native advertising can generate word-of-mouth marketing by encouraging users to share and engage with branded content organically. However, native advertising alone is not enough - it must be part of a comprehensive strategy that also builds brand recognition and provides positive brand experiences. By blending native advertising with other tactics, brands can amplify their messaging and change perceptions over the long run. The key is creating content that users actually want to engage with and share socially.
The aviation industry consumes around 1.5-1.7 billion barrels of jet fuel annually, costing major airlines like United and Delta over $12 billion in 2013. United was a leader in testing and using sustainable biofuels, conducting the first commercial passenger biofuel flight in the US using fuel derived from algae. Airlines are working to improve fuel efficiency through fleet modernization and operational changes, aiming for a 1.5% annual efficiency gain, while minimizing environmental impacts and continuously seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint.
This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with a right ovarian mass. Imaging showed a large right ovarian tumor with ascites and peritoneal implants. Her CA-125 was elevated. Surgery found widespread tumors. Microscopy showed a serous carcinoma with areas of squamous differentiation. Immunohistochemistry was positive for PAX8, WT1, ER, p40 and p53. This is a rare type of ovarian cancer showing both serous and squamous features. The report discusses possible mechanisms for the dual differentiation and compares this case to another similar case report.

La observación como objeto de investigaciónStyle Graphic
La observación es una herramienta esencial para la vida humana y la investigación científica. Implica prestar atención a un objeto, persona o fenómeno para percibir y analizar sus características. Aunque la observación científica intenta ser sistemática y objetiva, es difícil evitar la subjetividad del investigador, ya que su interés guía su enfoque. La observación participante implica que el investigador forma parte del grupo observado, mientras que la no participante lo mantiene ajeno al grupo.
The document discusses DC motors and why they are still used despite being invented in the 19th century before AC induction motors. DC motors can operate at variable speeds by adjusting voltage, allowing control of speed and torque. They can produce full torque from zero to base speed, making them suitable for applications like conveyors and cranes that require starting under load. While AC inverters now allow variable speed control of AC motors, DC motors are still used for their inherent speed control characteristics and suitability for constant torque loads.

The document summarizes the key causes of World War I, including alliances, nationalism, industrialized militarism, and imperialism in Europe. It also lists several conflicts prior to WWI that increased tensions between European powers. The immediate trigger of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist, which led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and the involvement of other European countries through their alliances.
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 !!!
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?

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 !!!

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 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 !!!
HERE IT IS !!!! PART 3 OF THREE FROM SYM-ZONIA'S SUMMER OF SYM.-ERGY ~~~ (2014) with it's original BONUS COVER !!!
YES, it's a fact: THE PYRAMID LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION as it turned out, is shaped just like the outline of a KEY!!! making it beyond any doubt the TRUE KEY of the TRUCKEE RIVER... But we all know there's little sense in having a TRUE KEY until you can also match it to its TRUE LOCK !! So JOIN Native American UNK-KNOWN, Stephanie Beckon, Randy Kajtushka and the regular cast of experts, along w/ COL. JOHN CHARLES FREMONT, as they do what they can to assist Rupert Roget (Ret) former surveyor of Coon County, Oregon, to locate the TRUE LOCK that can UNLOCK your SUMMER OF SYM-ERGY !!!
SYM-Zonia -- DOUBLECROSS !! -- by Michael C. GoldengateRoch Steinbach
This document is a newsletter that discusses several topics:
1. It continues investigating a map by Lt. Williamson that was revealed last issue to contain a hidden "X" marking a spot. The newsletter discusses rotating a portion of the map to align it with true north.
2. It describes an attack on the newsletter's offices by "Wringwraiths" but says the editor was able to defeat them.
3. It discusses missing maps from a report about Oregon harbors that staffers were unable to locate at the Library of Congress.
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 summarizes the background and skills of American riflemen who were taken prisoner after the battle of Fort Washington in 1776. It describes how they were hardy frontiersmen dressed in homespun hunting clothes and armed with long rifles. It provides examples of their incredible marksmanship, such as one who could shoot bullets through boards held in various positions. The riflemen proved themselves extremely capable soldiers despite being initially mocked by the British. Many were imprisoned and suffered terribly after the fall of Fort Washington.
The document discusses the formation and purpose of a group called the Transoxiana group. It provides some background on the inspiration for creating the group, noting conversations in the 1960s and a meeting in 1996 that helped inspire its creation. It outlines some of the group's purposes, including promoting pluralism and addressing substantial issues facing humanity from diverse perspectives. It also thanks some individuals who have supported the group.
A topic rarely ever covered or seen. Here is some truly historical information that is sure to educate even the most astute historian. Part of our Liberty Education Series on Gloucester, Virginia Links and News Website. Free downloads are available on this book.
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 !!
Samuel Adams was a leader of the Sons of Liberty terrorist organization in Boston in the 1760s-1770s that resisted British rule through intimidation tactics. The Sons of Liberty would tar and feather or "pull houses down" of British officials to terrorize them. While some historians view Adams as the secret leader, others are more skeptical. The Sons of Liberty helped radicalize colonial opposition to British policies through their violent acts of resistance.
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" !!!!
This document summarizes key events leading up to the American Revolution from 1760-1776:
- In 1760, the King imposed taxes on certain papers in the colonies to pay for the French and Indian War, angering colonists who said "no taxation without representation."
- In 1770, British soldiers opened fire on a crowd in Boston, killing several colonists in what became known as the Boston Massacre.
- In 1773, colonists dressed as Native Americans dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor in protest of tea taxes, known as the Boston Tea Party.
- On April 19, 1775 the American Revolutionary War began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord
This Hessian soldier is observing the Continental Army troops at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778. He notes that the men looked haggard, pale and poorly dressed, with many lacking even shoes and socks. He questions how any army could be maintained under such conditions, implying that the troops would desert.
However, he acknowledges the power of "enthusiasm" and patriotism that kept the Continental Army together despite their hardships. While the soldier expresses pity for the physical suffering of the troops, he does not seem to respect their cause of "Liberty and Independence." He views their willingness to endure such conditions as misguided enthusiasm rather than a justified fight. Overall, the soldier sees the Continental Army as in
This document provides context about early colonial settlements in North America between the 15th and 17th centuries. It discusses the Columbian Exchange and trade routes that emerged after 1492. Specific commodities traded are highlighted, such as gold, silver, cochineal dye from beetles, and beaver pelts. The establishment of colonies by several European powers is also summarized, including the Spanish and Portuguese in Mexico and South America, the Dutch colony of New Netherlands (New York), the French colony of New France (Canada), and the Puritan colonies in New England. Challenges between colonists and Native Americans, such as King Philip's War, are briefly described.
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.

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.

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".

SPELLCHECK
IF a WASP B BUILT ITS NEST in the “U” BOX of TYPE,
HOW WOULD YOU SPELL “WACKENREUDER”…
and HOW MIGHT THAT AFFECT the RECORDED
HISTORY of EXPLORATION on the PACIFIC SLOPE
(of Oregon)?
But First…..
2. From the desk of ….
OKAY OKAY OKAY ….. !!!!!!
Can you believe it? Been a week already …?
And we’re back with another issue?
And they’re still in office …?
WOWEE! PLAYERS! I know, I know!! I know!
It’s like the rest of the world is caught in a DEAD ZONE of some sort…..
But not us!! Here in S.Y.M.-Zonia™ ,
We’re Advancing into the Deepest Recesses … … of
the Interior of the Human Mind !!!
w/ this extra-special
SPELLCHECK !! Issue
Wowee!!!
PLAYERS!! … and did I almost forget to Welcome you back? I did, didn’t I? WELCOME BACK !!!
Players – This Week’s issue of S.Y.M.-Zonia™ was inspired by the success of Last Week’s power-packed REWARD
issue – in which we took a look – a very close look – at the attention to Medieval French Orthography [ That’s
shorthand for “correct spelling” – Ed.] as demonstrated for us by Maine [Probably – Ed.] Sea Captain Abimilech Riggs
and perhaps, but to a lesser extent, his predecessor in command [Capt. Lame, I think it was … but don’t quote me!! –
Ed.] [ Please address run-on parentheticals – Ed.] of the Shaving Mill Wiley Reynard !!! From these two daring men –
Officers and Gentleman, we know, despite reports of their Barbarian Atrocities and Horrendous Outrages, committed
in the neighborhood of Tusket Island [Why does that sound familiar ? – Ed.] – we learned that scrupulous care in
spelling is worth our attention even in the most dangerous circumstances, yea, even in the midst of warfare – and that it
may hold the key … the KEY!! Players … to unimaginable riches in plundered cargo from British merchant vessels
taken unawares, providing …. I say, providing … we can get our claims authenticated and properly and successfully
adjudicated in PRIZE COURT back in United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, sitting in
Boston – which is the home port from which we sailed anyway… All According to statute, duly enacted during a plenary
session of the Congress of the United States of America – and!!! All the more fun for being totally legal !!!
WOWEE!!!!
PLAYERS – THIS IS NO SMALL MATTER !!!! Believe you ME!! [Archaic colloquial form – Ed.]
Proper spelling was critical to the success of the prize claim, because … the PAPERWORK HAD TO MATCH !!!
Right!!! When under review during properly convened sessions of PRIZE COURT in Boston, if the name on the
capturing vessel, DID NOT MATCH the name on the papers of the Presidential Commission authorizing the privateer,
then the cunning Attorneys for the owners of the captured vessel – the purported PRIZE or REWARD vessel – could
successfully argue to the Judge, that the authorization, the Presidential Commission, was being improperly extended to
the claiming vessel!!!! And – think of it, Players: ALL THE GREATER WAS THE DERRING-DO demonstrated by
our sailing hero, Capt. Abimilech Riggs, in that he REVISED and gradually IMPROVED his Medieval French
Orthography while on-the-fly, and in the very Heat of Battle … seemingly heedless of the GREAT RISK to which he
was exposing himself and his men!! It’s Breathtaking!! PLAYERS: U.S.A. !!! U.S.A !!! U.S.A.!! U.S.A. !! etc.!
PLAYERS !!! More on this below !!! But First ….!!!
4. PLAYERS!!!
Yes!! There’s more to the story – much, much more !! But that’s all I have room for This Week !!
There’s official S.Y.M.-Zonia™ business to take care of RIGHT NOW !!! For instance ….
5. WHERE is the PRIZE REPORT for the SHAVING MILL WILEY REYNARD
and COULD IT POSSIBLY BE … the REWARD ?
PLAYERS!!! Last Week --
As you will recall, S.Y.M.-Zonia™ took on …. The entire British Admiralty … with only One Vessel! REMEMBER?
… After the shaving mill – that decked over pilot boat, probably fitted out along the coast of Maine –most likely in
Wiscassett harbor or Boothbay harbor – and rechristened as Wiley Reynard, was entered into service in Boston, and
commissioned as a privateer in the Impressments War of 1812 [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2W1Wi2U9sQ
!!! -- Ed.] by no less a personage than President James Madison … but then, ex post facto, SPELLCHECKED and
christened again, because the name was just …. you know … not quite right; and so accordingly the vessel had to be re-
commissioned by President Madison --- but the captain changed his mind… so it was SPELLCHECKED and
rechristened again – then re-commissioned, etc. and so on, until, under one name or another, but – as Capt. Abimilech
Riggs OCD-thing with medieval French orthography settled down for the cruise -- it was probably as Wiley Re’nard
that she was finally captured on July __, 1812, by the H.M.S. Shannon, mounting 38 guns, under the command of Capt.
P.B.V. Broke, taken into Halifax, where her entire crew were imprisoned .. that is, at Halifax. … And so forth ….
REVEALED AT LAST!! The SOLUTION !!!!!
PLAYERS!!! If you’ve been around a year or two, you may remember one of Dromgoole’s lesser efforts in the What’s
Wrong with this Picture? P.Y.M. Puzzler for October 2, 2011 – which featured this engraving by William Hoogland, of a
most remarkable incident of the early months of the war -- “The Constitution’s Escape from the British Squadron after a
chase of sixty hours …” -- the answer to which – never before revealed – is the ship at center, which is pursuing the
U.S.S. Constitution – but without its sails!!!! That ship is of course none other than the H.M.S. Shannon, Capt.
Broke !!!! Yes indeed! The ship of war that captured … the Wiley Reynard !! Notice she’s being kedged by
something like 13 boats !!! Figure 12-16 men per boat – and they’re probably American prisoners! O-kay …
We now rejoin the Solution to Last Week’s S.Y.M.-Zonia™ -- in progress ….
6. So….. what about the Wiley Reynard?
Well -- what was missing from the picture – I mean, the one piece of
documentation that should have shed some light on the capture of the
U.S.S.M. Wiley Reynard by the H.M.S. Shannon, was – of course --
the routine Admiralty court OPINION adjudicating the capture as
either a legitimate prize – which was usual – or retoriun g the vessel
and/or its cargo, to the owners. While such opinions were not always
published – in fact most of them never were – nevertheless it would be
one …. choice … Reward if it could be found: an official adjudication
in the case of the Wiley Reynard, appearing somewhere in the
documents of the Halifax Prize Court of the British Vice-Admiralty,
and overseen by Judge Alexander Croke, LL D !!
Well, what we did find, PLAYERS!!! was of course an opinion in a
closely related case: the adjudication in the case of the Wiley
Reynard’s companion vessel, the Eunice, which returned right where
it should have been in the case of the Eunice, Capt. Riggs, on page
__- of Croke’s Reporter. Properly it would be referred to as Stewart’s
Reporter or Reports. See Last Week’s Issue !!!!
NOTE: PLAYERS! Before we go further: according to the subtitle of
the Stewart’s Reports the cases included are from “The
Commencement of the War in 1803 to the end of 1813” --
meaning, I guess that the British considered themselves to be at war
[beginning with Spain] from the period of the Tripolitan War until the
publication of this reporter, in 1813…
PLAYERS!!! As we shall see below, during this entire decade –
from 1803 to 1812 – it was not Spanish vessels alone that were
suffering from the attacks of the British man-of-wars!!!
American vessels were also being taken captive – right and left
-- and adjudicated as prizes, under the provisions of successive
decrees of the Regency government’s Privy Council!!! These
decrees were commonly referred to as Orders In Council -- we
saw something about this Last Week – and they purported to
determine the rights of vessels in the British fleet, to intercept
and commandeer ships in the mercantile trade … of neutral
nations, like those of the United States carrying goods into the
ports of Spain, or France, or Portugal.
As an incident of capture, pending adjudication, the crews of such
captured vessels were thrown into charming accomodations, like
Dartmoor, or the Halifax prison.
This practice lasted for an entire DECADE!!! Before the United
States finally gave up on rational negotiations and the
Declaration of War was issued …
Remember what I said – the Treaty of Ghent in 1816, never
once addressed the four points outlined in the United States
Declaration of War …the British have never repudiated or
relinquished their claim of right, to impress and enslave
Americans !!
Pretty persistent little custards, aren’t they?
7. Andrew Allen, Jr. His Majesty’s Vice-Consul at …. Boston, and Shipping Licenses
NOW – PLAYERS: If there is anything that
ties Croke’s Halifax opinions together it is their
repeated reference to and reliance upon the 1812-
vintage licenses or passports issued to
American privateer vessels, by one Andrew
Allen, Jr., His Majesty’s Vice Consul at
Boston. These recur in case after case report --
not just in the Eunice, and the Reward, but in
many others. In addition, Croke frequently
references his Appendices, which are a
compendium of verbatim documentary texts
from Allen, the Prince Regent, the King’s
Council, etc, bearing upon the maneuvering
behind this diplomatic history, re: passports.1
From these materials, it appears that Andrew
Allen had initiated a plan in cooperation w/
Herbert Sawyer, Vice-Admiral for the Halifax
Station, to grant, mercantile licenses -- in effect
“letters of protection” for American privateers
taking supplies and provisions from the United
States to, in particular, Lisbon and Cadiz, for the
direct support of the allied forces under
Wellington’s army attacking Napoleon.
A
REWARD….
SOME little documentation for this virtually
lost history of the IMPRESSMENTS WAR of
1812 has been published – for instance in Alfred
T. Mahan’s Sea Power and its Relation to the
War of 1812 (1969) and again in Dudley &
Crawford, the Naval War of 1812, a
Documentary History (1985). Mahan’s latest
edition (2011) goes more deeply into the
material, PLAYERS: Two pages!! NO analysis.
The documentary proof is not limited to Croke’s
Halifax Reporter, but appears in a wide range
of official judicial opinions from among the
New – England District Courts of the United
States, but primarily out of Massachusetts, since
intelligence operative Andrew Allen, Jr. was situated in Boston. Many of these case were appealed to the United
States Supreme Court, including such blockbuster PRIZE opinions -- as those in the Julia, Luce, the Hiram,
Barker, and the Aurora, Pike…. Each addresses the hot topic of “Andrew Allen” licenses. Citations below.
PLAYERS: the young United States were blockade-running supplies to Lord Wellington, to defeat Napoleon.
IF WE CAN SEPCULATE, it appears that Andrew Allen was likely the brains behind this operation – who had secured
Adm. Sawyer’s assent and cooperation, and also the close collaboration of none other than Edward Prince Regent, then
of the King’s Council – who had a longstanding relationship w/ Halifax, and a close acquaintanceship w/ American
sailors who had “visited” that port under various forms of duress, during the first decade of the 1800’s. See again, the
opening chapters of Cooper, Ned Myers: or, A Life Before the Mast (1843). Wait !!! That reminds me !!!
1
In addition to Allen’s passports, Croke’s cases discuss other forms of license, such as, e.g., “Sidmouth licenses” –
authorizing “neutral traffic” with European ports, esp. St. Bartholomew’s. There were also “Foster licenses,” etc.
8. EMERGENCY SIDEBAR -- -- ON EDWARD, PRINCE REGENT !!!!
PLAYERS!! A good place to make the acquaintance of Edward, Prince Regent, who governed as a member of the
Privy Council during the British Regency Government occasioned by the insanity of King George III [Players – where
have you heard of this insane Monarch before? - -- I can’t remember!!! Ed.] might be in the opening chapters of the
book, “NED MYERS: o, a Life Before the Mast” … which I mentioned recently in the FALSE FLAG Issue – p. 10!!
Wait just a minute!!!
The book, “NED MYERS … ” was written by a gentlemen by the name of James Fenimore Cooper in 1843.
It’s a charming historical sea-story, the first few chapter of which are set in Halifax, Nova Scotia – with this curious
young boy Ned Myers, a favorite of Prince Edward, who was stationed there, and kept a lodge on the outskirts of
Halifax. Ned -- like an inquisitive lad – is forever about the docks there, in the occasional company of Prince Eddy, in
the year 1805 -- that is, as we just learned, shortly after the British naval WAR began, against SPAIN!! The prose and
the story telling are FIRST RATE -- and, of course, Halifax is where the prize, the Wiley Reynard was taken .. .
PLAYERS: you will most likely recall that James Fenimore Cooper is none other than the “Middy of the Hornet” !!!
As such, we had reason to propose, that since this fact is otherwise undisclosed, he was working in the U.S. Secret Service
during the War of 1812. Thus, in 1843, Cooper was preparing NED MYERS for publication at very nearly the same
time that Lt. Comm. Charles Wilkes was working at Cooper’s home, “the Heads” w/ Cooper’s ….. cooper-ation,
writing his “Narrative of the United States Exploring Expedition”. That’s right!!!
COOPER – - intelligence agent -- was assisting Commodore Wilkes! WHY???
BUT!!!! This year, 1843, is also the same year in which the courts of inquiry and
courts martial assigned to investigate the U.S.S. Somers mutiny affair
were reaching their climax, and Mr. Cooper was entering a more fully-fledged print-
confrontation with Lt. A. S. MacKenzie, after his exoneration by the Court
Martial,2
Recall that it was suggested that there was A CODE within Midshipman Spencer’s
Code. See the “Tarrytown Trivia” section of our recent SHORT-SHEETED Issue
!!!
for his role in this greatest-ever American naval tragedy …
3
AS I SAID: The opening scenes of “NED MYERS” are set during the years ca.
1805-6, in Halifax, the locale of headquarters of British Vice-Admiralty (prize
courts, etc.) in the North Atlantic. The British appear very active taking U.S. vessels
captive, during their “war with Spain”! Ned, by now about 12 years, very matter-
of-factly discusses from recollection various Brit ships of war and their prize captures
coming into Halifax: in remarkable detail he narrates the arrival of H.M.S. Boxer, and Cambrian, with prizes like the
Amsterdam Packet out of Philadelphia, and the Driver of North Carolina, etc. etc Clearly, along with adjudicating prizes
of the vessels of neutral nations, Halifax Vice-Admiralty court is judicially supervising impressments of U.S. sailors,
into British maritime service. And Ned is …. an eye-witness… He learns about the seaman’s life, by climbing about
on the rigging of the American prize-vessels!! Young Ned eventually stows away out of Halifax, for New York, and
becomes an American seaman.
[Dangling again. & Check Chicago Manual of Style: Footnote numbers should
go inside exclamation marks – Ed.] OKAY – I’m off on a tangent again!!!
Meanwhile … throughout the book, the figure of Edward, Prince Regent, who is associated with the operations of the
U.K. government in Halifax, appears as the benevolent avuncular protector of the young Ned.
Edward is eventually recalled or re-assigned to England – where he becomes a member of the
Privy Council – the panel heading the Regency government. The King is, of course, quite loopy.
2
This “press-war” neared its culmination with the publication in March, 1844, of Cooper’s anonymously published, “The
Cruise of the Somers: illustrative of the despotism of the quarter-deck; and the unmanly conduct of Commander MacKenzie.”
http://cdm16099.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15241coll1/id/18

For example, the Judge Advocate at the trial of Comm. MacKenzie, was none other than Ogden Hoffman … a close
friend of Washington Irving.
9. NOW – Back to Andrew Allen, Jr. !!!
In fact, it was a classic “Battle of the Forms” -- but conducted for global stakes.
On the one hand … there was clearly a patriotic republican faction -- with Andrew Allen, Jr., H.M. Consul in Boston,
issuing licenses under the authority of Vice Admiral Herbert Sawyer, commander of the Halifax Station, and
seemingly sanctioned out of the Privy Council -- perhaps under the influence of Edward, Prince Regent. The object –
the object was to move American farm produce across the Atlantic, into the supply lines for the peninsular forces of the
Allies, under the command of the Duke of Wellington.. On the other hand there was the rest of the British Admiralty,
evidently aiding the Napoleonic enterprise through embargoes of necessities – not only to the populations on the
continent, but in Great Britain as well -- They did this, of course, by continually intercepting vessels laden with the
necessary supplies, and bound for such ports.. … Vessels like …. the Wiley Reynard …. ? The Reward ?
Indeed, Allen appears to have had his own “special relationship” with Edward Prince Regent, of the King’s Council: the
two seem to have diligently co-operated by confounding and manipulating ‘standard” diplomatic channels and
instruments, while developing their own avenues of diplomatic correspondence – these licenses -- to insure a steady
supply of flour and other “dry provisions” to the peninsular forces Wellington’s forces, through ports in Spain and
Portugal, in order to guarantee the defeat of the Little Dictator. And by “dry provisions” I am … wildly speculating here
… that the American vessels were also smuggling in high precision U.S. arms and ammunition to Wellington –
which, if so, would indicate an even more “high-powered” role for American support, as well as the covert co-operation
of port and customs authorities – all with the blessing of the U.S. Presidency.
Just saving the Free World and securing the advancement of Human Rights, is all ….
All in an honest day’s work for the new Republic.
Remarkably enough, although there are a couple passing references to American privateers supplying Lord Wellington,4
Riggs had, after leaving the Wiley Reynard, been running contraband foodstuffs for Wellington’s armies in
Portugal from Norfolk, Va.
the suggestion is that these were individual initiatives merely. Notably, Snider, Under the Red Jack, p. 90, says that
Capt. Abimelech Riggs, after his release from Halifax, was engaged in conveying supplies – but makes no mention of the
existence of a licensing system to protect supply lines:
However, the profusion of the “Allen” licenses, the “Sawyer “licenses, the “Sidmouth” and “Foster” licenses, and
the case adjudicating them prove that the United States, under Madison, was actively – even aggressively --
supporting the allied resistance to Napoleon across the peninsula.
In other words, with the two recent exceptions mentioned above, we here at Unit D-37 – your guide through S.Y.M.-
Zonia™ -- cannot yet find any reference to Andrew Allen’s licenses in the conventional histories of the War of 1812, or
of the Napoleonic Wars. This is so, although three U.S. prize cases in which his licenses/passports are treated, went
up to the United States Supreme Court5
Check out the footnotes!!!! This way !!!
– so Allen’s activities are as thoroughly documented in our legal literature, as
well as in the Halifax texts.
4
PLAYERS!!! Probably I’m just dense, but I’ve never heard that the U.S. under President Madison, had a policy of
active support for Wellington’s armies. And this fact seems to be rather under-reported in the historiography of the
Napoleonic wars. It received no more than a six-line paragraph, at p. 55 -- and that without any footnotes! – in Hill, The
Prizes of War: The Naval Prize System in the Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815. Mahan, and Dudley & Crawford – zilch.
5
See, The Aurora, Pike, Master, 12 U.S. 2039 (1814); The Julia, Luce, Master, 12 U.S. 181 (1814), and The Hiram,
Barker, Master, 12 U.S. 444 (1814), all dealing directly with Andrew Allen’s licenses]; See, the Thomas Gibson,
Rockwell, Master, 12 U.S. 421 (1814) [Sidmouth License], etc.
BUT WAIT!! There’s more …. See, e.g., the lower court cases, like, The Hiram, Fish. Prize Cas. 69, 12 F. Cas. 469
(1813) [Andrew Allen license]; and see cases involving other licenses such as, e.g., The Tulip, Cleeland, Master, Fish
Prize Cas. 1, 24 F. Cas. 307 (1812) [Foster license]; I think we’ve only scratched the surface!!!
10. Conclusions?
PLAYERS!!! ALL HANDS ON DECK !!!!! We’re pulling into the dock after that long and tedious voyage!!!!
All in all, Croke’s casebook documents the efforts of the majority of the Privy Council and the Admiralty to suffocate
supplies destined for The Duke of Wellington, even at the further expense of the British people, who were in fact
suffering through their own, domestic food shortages during the same period, 1810-1812.6
On the other hand, a revolutionary faction still at work within the “His Majesty’s” government of Great Britain, was
struggling to guarantee Wellington’s success, and Napoleon’s downfall. Within the British government, I propose this
faction was coordinated by Edward, Prince Regent – who, I think, may have been personally responsible for
recommending many of the appointees to offices in Nova Scotia: including Croke’s eventual appointment to the Vice-
Admiralty at Halifax. Within the United States, I venture to suggest the one of the chief U.S. counter-intelligence agents,
or at least a totally sympathetic Brit, in the foreign service -- was “Andrew Allen, Jr.” himself, operating through the
office of H.M. Vice-Consul for the Northeastern States …
Yes!!! This crowd would
starve their own people, in order to effect their crazed and devastating plans!!!!
This -- IF TRUE !! -- almost necessarily implies that the U.S. “War of 1812” was in fact many, many years in advance
preparations: in the plotting and planning from the intelligence side. And this seems to make sense, if the British were
on a war footing, and fairly busy early capturing American prizes, as early as 1803….. I am hypothesizing that
advance preparations must have included, in particular, the pre-positioning – aka infiltration -- of Americans and
American sympathizers into key positions within the British government, and in particular, also into key positions within
the Admiralty: Croke being a case in point. Again, supposing this was going on, Edward Prince Regent would have
been critical to accomplishing the appointment of key operators into the right offices, to effect such an enterprise. Perhaps
it is reasonable to suppose, that there were careers comparable to Judge Croke’s -- and if not that, at least resumes for
clerks and reporters -- which were “created” to fill positions in the Vice-Admiralty Courts in Bermuda, etc., and
eventually in the Courts of Mixed Commission in Sierra Leone.
Or maybe not !!!! Players!!!! You decide … Did American sympathizers remain within England, at this time?
ADDENDUM !
You may recall, that the 17-man crew of the Wiley Reynard who had been incarcerated at Halifax prison, were released
effective September, 1813 – after about a year held in prison. Why? The first explanation that comes to mind, is that
there was a one-to-one prisoner exchange. Another consideration – maybe more likely -- is that the Wiley Re’nard
really had become the Reward, Hill,7
NOW, PLAYERS!!!
Master, and so, her cruise was adjudicated by Halifax Vice Admiralty as protected
by the Andrew Allen license …. One way or another, she was released, and her crew turned over to Lt. Wm. Miller,
agent for prisoners at the Halifax Station – and sent back home …
REMEMBER the LESSON of Capt. Abimilech Riggs and his crew, and the Shaving Mill Wiley Reynard ..
You’re going to need it where you’re going !!! Because …
6
See, David French, The British Ways in Warfare, p. 114 (Unwin Hyman, 1990).
7
One of the crew aboard the Wiley Reynard imprisoned at Halifax, was named Perry Hall. Conceivably, this “Hall” on
the prisoners list, was the same “Hill” who was recorded as master of the Reward as adjudicated by Judge Croke …
[Players -- REMEMBER to always watch your spelling!! -- Ed.] Meanwhile, Abimilech Riggs was master of the
Eunice. For the prisoners list, go to http://www.1812privateers.org/United%20States/Exchange116.htm !!!!
11. YOU ARE NOW ENTERING
IF a WASP BUILT ITS NEST in the “U” BOX of TYPE, HOW WOULD YOU SPELL
“WACKENREUDER” -- AND HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT the RECORDED HISTORY
of EXPLORATION on the PACIFIC SLOPE (of Oregon)?
PLAYERS --
At this point, you now have a fresh appreciation for something your Mother taught you, and that Capt. Abimelech Riggs
put into practice, even while dodging enemy fire from the onrushing H.M.S. Shannon -- and so you are all thoroughly
prepared to begin …
This Week’s SPELLCHECK Issue of S.Y.M.-Zonia™ !!!
CAVEAT: that I’m running this topic, despite precautionary
words addressed to us all Last Week, by Ass. Dr. Beckon
herself, who pretty much said “Don’t go there …!!!”
HOWEVER, Players !!! As you will soon see below, I
have uncovered fresh, NEW EVIDENCE in the
matter that seems to me to warrant RE-OPENING
the CASE for the candidacy of none other than
COL. JOHN C. FREMONT as the mysterious
SECOND SURVEYOR…. onboard the Sidewheeler
Columbia, who Ventured to Voyage with Vitus
Wackenreuder … and, well ….
YOU KNOW THE REST !!
It’s a known fact, however – as we shall see below – that as of 1851, Col. Fremont had retired – not only from his
service in the Expeditionary Corps of the Army Topographical Engineers – having, during the 1840’s, lead as many as
FOUR (for-the-most-part) hugely successful Expeditions across the Trackless Frontier of the American West, and
reported thereon in statements to the United States Congress, and published a number of critically important BOOKS
thereon, and in so doing, etc., etc., so earned himself much fame and great accolades, and the immortal sobriquet, or
moniker, or AKA nickname ….
“The PATHFINDER” …
Or sometimes, the PATHBREAKER – or the PATH-HUNTER -- --- and once or twice referred to as …
the FOOTPATHFINDER …
Where was I? Oh – right: he was retired from all that, AS WELL AS retired from service as military Governor of
California, and had successfully emerged from a few Courts Martial arising from that service, etc. etc. and ALSO
recently completed a term in office as the first U. S. Senator for California (1849-1851) and only thereafter returned to
his remote but VAST rancho, Las Marisposas to a life of solitude and … cattle dung as far as the eye could see…
And SO!!!! After all that, it is only RATIONAL to understand that Col. Fremont was feeling as if his active life and his
GLORY DAYS were slipping behind him and that he might spend the rest of his days looking at the boney backsides of
Texas long-horns that he’d brought back with him to Las Mariposas, with their tails forever switching flies off their ugly
dung-encrusted butts… PLAYERS!!! That I think about sums up Stephanie’s vision for his future!!! But …..
Just say NO… !!!! … to Stephanie’s brutal, dead-end vision of Col. Fremont’s retirement!!!
12. PLAYERS -- I was HAPPY [ Me, Last Week –Ed.] to have the opportunity of acknowledging the expertise and
the documentation submitted by Ass. Dr. Stephanie B., and corroborated orally, by Unk-Nown --
now in hiding from the law -- to the effect, that the correspondent “J.C.F.” whose letters were
appearing in the start-up Oregon newspaper, the Statesman, during 1851 -- was not really John
Charles Fremont, but was instead James C. Franklin, a confidante of Capt. Tichenor, the
founder of Port Orford, (Oregon) and a good friend of Asahel Bush, as well: he – Mr. Bush -
- being the founder and publisher of the Statesman… at the time.
I do not dispute it for a second!!!! “J.C.F.” was Franklin! James C. Franklin …. A farmer.
HOWEVER: In fact, it’s quite rational to think that Col. Fremont slipped out of his ranch-
house one day early in the summer of 1851, mounted his favorite old hoss, Sacramento -- who had
been with him on the 1846 expedition, during the Conquest of California -- and lit out as fast as he could go, for the
shining City of STOCKTON (California) -- about which, more later!!! [PLAYERS: As of April, 2013, this noble city
entered Bankruptcy proceedings -- while the bankers make off with U.S. tax monies !!! Does that make any sense? –
Ed.] [Please fix – ed.] where, tipping the stable-boy, he posted Sacramento in one of the livery stables near the riverfront,
and hopped on the first side-wheel steamer headed downriver !!! Ahaaa!!! NOW !!! That was travel !!!! The
STEAMBOAT!!! No more saddle-sores for him!! No sirree, not for Col. Fremont!!! Steamboating was the life!!!
This steamer – probably the Golconda, if they had one -- churned downriver, leisurely-like, down the San Joaquin River
toward the labyrinthine channels of the San Joaquin delta … careful there, Pilot !! .... And on towards Suisun Bay !!!
BUT – PLAYERS! Not before it docked at the BRAND NEWEST CITY on the San Joaquin River ….. YES:
Where else? YES!!! The newest HOTSPOT in California !!! Seat of Hustle & Bustle & Ingenuity!! WOWEE!!
And here, Fremont debarked – desteamed, is the technical term – and paused to reflect on the fruition of the vision of
Manifest Destiny into which his own life’s work had played such a seminal part in his earlier explorations: as now, right
before his eyes, the American civilization he had initiated in California, was right there taking shape before his eyes, in
the form of YET ANOTHER shining , whirring metropolis of COMMERCE and of unstoppable SCIENCE &
INDUSTRY, there… there in the trackless wilderness of Cottonwoods and bull-rushes, berries and bears, on the banks
of the mighty [Mighty slow, that is! – Ed.] San Joaquin River. AH! The future would never be the same again!!!
13. Players!! Cool!!! And as Col. Fremont gazed over the beginning of this sprawling new development, a NEW VISION
of his own possible future …. rose before his eyes!!! HE TOO saw his own future as being like the future that was being
SEIZED , there on the banks of the San Joaquin, by the dedicated denizens of New York-of-the-Pacific (California) –
that is, as BOUNDED but INFINITE … and he knew at once … that, yes … THE FUTURE WAS ON … !!!!!
PLAYERS: California was all VISION in 1850—and into 1851 !!! Fremont had one too!! I KNOW it!!!
New York-of-the-Pacific was just the newest of the many aspiring towns that
had been laid out around the San Francisco bay, San Pablo bay, Suisun bay,
and up the Sacramento river – and any one of them stood as good a chance to
become the new Capitol City of the Eureka State!!!!
RIGHT!!!! And California’s First Governor – Peter Hardeman Burnett
announced an impartial OPEN COMPETITION !! to all developers
across the state, per an Act of the State Legislature, signed by Burnett on April
22, and certified June 18th
, 1850!! And Stevenson & Parker – founders of
New York-of-the-Pacific threw their hats into the ring, and entered N.Y.O.T.P.
YES: THAT’s HOW BIG THE FUTURE WAS!!! Wide open ….
What’s the point, you ask? Okay: I’ll explain it:
The “FREMONT WAS IN NEW YORK, 1851”
HISTO-MYTH …
Players!! – Before we can more fully develop our thesis regarding Col.
Fremont’s voyage to Port Orford, in the company of Vitus Wackenreuder, we
have to dispense with a persistent piece of histo-mythology – a dangerous
“histo-myth” as they are called in the profession literature-- that stands in the
way of properly presenting the whole historical TRUTH of it!
That histo-myth – which has as its source
a line-item in the San Francisco Daily
Alta for September 15, 1851 -- is that in
the Summer and Fall of 1851, Col.
Fremont and “Lady” had actually
visited in old NEW YORK (New York)
and were NOT continually in California
– an image on the article appears at right
and the text reads:
“The following delectable and refreshing bit
of news itemizing appeared in the Marysville
Herald, on Saturday last: Col. Fremont and lady, from California, arrived
at New York on Sunday Evening, in the steamer Georgia.”
“The paper from which we take the above was printed on Saturday last, and
doubtless means to convey that the colonel and lady arrived safe in the harbor of New York on the Sunday
previous. Since that time, and after passing a delightful week at some of the watering holes, they have returned to
California, taking up their residence in this city. The Colonel may be seen in our streets nearly every day.”
[End of quote from the Alta – Ed.]
PLAYERS: -- NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!! Now we can see where Fremont actually was!!! NOW we can
deal with the impediment to our hypothesis, the histo-myth that the Fremonts were on the East coast: They were not!!!
Col. Fremont and “lady” – meaning his wife, the great woman, Jessie Benton Fremont -- were actually just at the mouth
of the San Joaquin river -- probably purchasing investment property … in New York-of-the-Pacific (California) !!!
14. SPELLCHECK
PLAYERS:
The First Issue of the Marysville (California) Daily Herald, was sent to local newstands on August 6, 1850. Last Week,
S.Y.M.-Zonia™ became the first nationally distributed e-weekly puzzling magazine to publish advertisements from the
front page of the Marysville Herald, that were taken out by Vitus Wackenreuder to advertise the opening of his
Surveyors and Engineers office in the New Orleans Hotel -- which, later, as it aged, became simply the Orleans Hotel.
Wackenreuder began advertising in the Herald, in December of 1850 …
Well: there were many challenges for the Editor, Col. R. H. Taylor, in getting the Herald up and running that first
long hot summer in Marysville, at the confluence of the Feather and Yuba Rivers!! Wowee!! The workload!
One of these challenges, which may have discouraged Deputy Editor Bates as
well, was disclosed in a notice in the September 3, 1850 issue – PLAYERS!!!
… A highly literate WASP, one entirely dedicated to the journalistic
professional, had undertaken to build its adobe nest in the cubby-hole for the
“U” fonts in the newspaper’s typesetters case—right there in the back room at
the Herald!! PLAYERS!! An UN-expected development! A total surprise!!!
Such dedication to the trade on the part of a mere apprentice wasp, reminds
me at once of Bartleby the Scrivener, taking up lodgings in the offices of the
New York Master of Chancery James Kent !!! Eat, sleep, and breathe your
work!!! That used to be the American way for the majority of WASPs!!
How things have changed ….
But the publisher reports, that the new insect squatter’s nest eventually
became so extensive it reached already down the case, into the “ffi” –
whatever that is!! NO ONE MUST TOUCH IT !! DO NOT DISTURB!!
This was happening in September, 1850 -- a month or two before Vitus
Wackenreuder’s ads began running in the Herald -- after he opened his
office in the New Orleans Hotel, no address, there in Marysville …
PLAYERS: The point of course, is that Vitus Wackenreuder’s name has Two “U”’s !!!
Which means … he could be anywhere…
2 “U”’s … and you can’t touch ‘em …. What to do … what to do …
How would YOU spell “ Vitus Wackenrueder” if YOU were typesetter at the Herald, and your boss had told you
… not to bother the new apprentice WASP building his nest in the “U”’s??
Vitoos Wackenreeder? Viras Wackenroider? Wackenrewder? Wackenrooder? Wackenweder? Mackenmeder?
Wickendigger? Hossenpfeffer? --- or – WOULD YOU AVOID STORIES ABOUT HIM ALTOGETHER??
MY POINT IS – that we DON’T YET KNOW what we DON’T KNOW – and anything might have happened!!
One thing we know for sure, is, that thanks to this early pioneer version of SPELLCHECK , we – like Col. Fremont --
have room to dream ….. YES: it could still be true … You only have to BELIEVE and it could all come true…
YOU ARE NOW LEAVING
