CAPTAIN ONE OF TWO LIVING
i MEN GIVING wiio WITNESS
ED TRANSFER AREA, 1867
I
I
^ gangling lad of 14, youngest in
|the United States Navy, watched a
group of American and Russian of
ficers gathered in Sitka, Alaska, on
October 18,1867. They were massed
I around a flagploe from which flew*
the Russian Czar’s flag. The en
sign was being hauled down. A
.high wind was blowing. At about
hah mast, the flag stuck, wrapped
around the pole. It could not be
'lowered.
A Russ princess,, watching the i
ceremony, wept. Then a native In- 1
dian boy scurried up the pole, un- j
furled the flag and freed the tan- i
gled halyards. The Russian flag
was lowered, and an American flag
was raised without a hitch.
That brief scene was the occasion
of the formal transfer of Alaska to
the United States from Russia. The 1
boy was William Hinckley Nye Ad- ,
ams, naval appr ntice on the U. S.
sloop-o-war Ossipee.
SCENE RECALLED
In Seattle compiling his memoirs
as a 79-year-old retired captain,
legislator and merchant, he recall
ed the incident. He is one of the
two living American men—Edward
Eugene Chipman of Clackamas,
Ore-, is the other—who witnessed
the eventful scene.
“It was ‘Seward’s folly’, ‘Seward’s
icebox’ and ‘America’s gift to Rus
sia’ then. We of the crew, sailing
to take Alaska for the United States
thought of it as just another asign
ment and a foolish one, too,” the
old captain ruminated.
“And curiously enough, that wras (
the first and last time I sailed in j
Alaskan waters. I’ve never seen
the land up there since".
SEATTLE PASSED UP
The momentous trip began on
September 27, 1867. The Ossipee
'was the flagship of the North Pa
| cific squadron, with Commodore
Geoige Emmons commanding. Mr.
; Adams was naval apprentice to
Gunner Corbin Washington, then
the closest living relative of George
Washington. Although the man
o-war stopped at coastal towns, it
^missed Seattle, for this city was
| then only four years old.
On the Ossipee were eight boxes
of bullion—the $7,509,00 payment of
the United States for Alaska. In
cluded also in the purchase were
two monitors, latest model armored
battleships. When the Ossipee
docked in Sitka, then the capital of
Alaska—known as Russian-Amer
ica to the crew—the gold, a stupen- j
dously large amount in those days j
but only a fraction of that taken
later from Alaska, was transferred
| to Russian officials.
