Title: One for the bounty hunters
Post by: Maikel on 22 February 2013, 04:34:42

U.S.S. Yorktown

28-02-1890 Meridian to 4 p.m.: By order of Comdg. Officer offered a reward of 100 francs, for the apprehension and delivery on board this vessel within 3 months of E.J. Pearson (2.C.F.)

http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ow3/final/USS%20Yorktown/vol003of040_cr2_to_jpg/vol003of040_069_1.jpg (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ow3/final/USS%20Yorktown/vol003of040_cr2_to_jpg/vol003of040_069_1.jpg)

The U.S.S. Yorktown was moored for almost two weeks in Villefrance, France and set sail the next afternoon for Spezia, Italy.

E.J. Pearson was found AWOL between 8 a.m. and noon, but no other reason has been given why the bounty was found necessary.

He must have done something severe, because the day before G.W. Farley (1.C.A.) was declared a deserter for being AWOL for ten days, and no bounty was set on his head.

I found that the bounty of 100 French francs in those days amounts to about $20.

On 11-03-1890 between 8 a.m. and meridian:

By order of Commanding Officer offered through the U.S. Consul a reward of 50 francs for the apprehension and delivery on board of W. Gerhart (Private).

He was brought on board by the local police (Livorno/Leghorn, Italy) between noon and 4 p.m.
No mention whether the police was paid the reward of about $10.

Since Commander asked assistance through US Vice-Consul (Emilio Masi (http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/marwood-masloff.html#819.09.03)) we'll probably never know the answer ;)

I've found however a little article on an Italian 1890 newspaper (available from here: http://emerotecavirtualetoscana.siav.it/consulta_testata_calendario.asp?TestataRootNode=28551 - but the site has a terrible interface) about the arrival of Yorktown in Livorno (11 March, page 2, 3rd column):

Italian		English (rough translation)
Livorno, 9. - (Visite officiali). -		Leghorn, 9. (Official visits). -
Sabato scorso il comandante la nave da guerra americana Yorktown, accompagnato		Last saturday the commander of american warship Yorktown, accompained
dal vice-console degli Stati Uniti signor Masi, si reco', fra le altre autorita', a far visita al Sindaco.		by United States vice-consul Mr. Masi, went, with other authorities, to pay visit to the City Major.
Nella mattinata di ieri il comm. Costella restituiva la visita a bordo della nave suddetta,		Yesterday morning comm. Costella returned the visit on board the said ship,
dove ebbe onori ed accoglienze cortesissime.		where he had honours and the most courteous welcome.

Whilst moored in Castellamare, Italy, the by now infamous private W. Gerhart did a runner.

Stumbled upon another reward whilst the U.S.S. Yorktown was at anchor in Gibraltar.

On 24-05-1890 between 8 a.m. and meridian 14 men were found absent without leave.
A reward of 2 pounds (sterling) was offered for their return.

In the afternoon 10 men, 4 between meridian and 4 p.m. and 6 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., were returned by the police, who were paid the promised reward.

The next day one man was returned at 11:30 by the police, who again received the 2 pounds reward.

WHO'S running your boat Maikel? The captain must be a complete nightmare. :o ;D ;D

Title: Re: One for the bounty hunters
Post by: Maikel on 10 April 2013, 14:25:46

Well, the captain is a F.E. Chadwick.
I don't know if he's such a hard man, or that it was just the spirit of the time, but every port that the U.S.S. Yorktown has visited, has seen AWOL ratings and quite a few deserters as well.

The list is starting to get endless.
If you take a look at the crew lists (http://forum.oldweather.org/index.php?topic=3411.0) I compile for each month, you'll see many ratings without extra information (such as transfers).
All these have been mentioned because they were AWOL or received punishment for other inappropriate behaviour.

Now that is a very interesting man. I note that having that much talent and intelligence (genius?) does not make a good manager of crew. That skill comes from a different facet of personality.

Title: Re: One for the bounty hunters
Post by: Maikel on 11 April 2013, 09:30:26

Yes, he seems to be a very reasonable man.
Maybe to reasonable to run a ship?

Or is it not his fault as one or more of the lieutenants have to keep the ship disciplined?

Silver or paper, it is a nice legal way for police officers to add to the salaries. And it saves the city the cost of feeding the miscreants in the city jail. :)

Paid to an official of the U.S. Consulate General a reward of 20 dollars (mex.) for the delivery on board of Wm. McDonald (C.P.).

Spurred on by that, a bit of research reveals that the Mexican Dollar was apparently quite widely accepted in the Far East (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_dollar#1821.E2.80.931897_Mexican_dollar), more so than the US Dollar. Would US ships have usually carried Mexican Dollars for use in Japan/China when sailing across the Pacific?

Turns out, they almost always carry Mexican coins in Asia - apparently too many merchants didn't know the conversion rate for US dollars, Mexican coins had been generated is sufficient quantity to become internationally known.

Yorktown's logs have mentioned several times receiving large sums, sometimes several 10,000s, of Mexican dollars for own use or for delivery to other ships.

Quite a profitable day for the Japanese police. And I think they need to install additional brig space. "Prisoner at large" does not sound very secure for men who have been absent without leave.

Edit to add:

The three above were declared deserters.

Issued a reward of $5.00 for the apprehension and delivery on board of A. Kaufman (OS)
http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ow3/final/USS%20Thetis/vol008of024/vol008_102_1.jpg

If I were Mr. Kaufman, would not come back simply because I would be offended by the low bounty placed on my head.

Another edit:
12 May 1889
A. Kaufman (OS) returned aboard 5 days overtime, dirty and sober.
