Southern California. SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1872. The "Ocean Queen" Mutiny. Commodore Ammen's Story or the Affair. We clip the following from the last of Col. Forney's "Aweedotes of Public Men," no being published in the Washington Sunday Chronicle: The other day I called on Commodore Daniel Ammen, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and asked him to tell me about the celebrated mutiny on board the California steamer, the Ocean Queen in May of 1864. This event, though of a recent date, has been literally sponged from the slate of the general memory, though still preserved among the records of the navy. As contingent of over 200 men, most of them "roughs" who had served in the army, and had volunteered for naval service on the Pacific Coast, were shipped for their destination on board the Ocean Queen, in charge of Commodore Ammen and a subordinate officer. There were over a thousand passengers, including many ladies and children. Justice Field, of the United States Supreme Court, was among the cabin passengers. The vessel itself was commanded by a fine old seaman, Captain Tinklepaugh. On the first day out the new reeer its began to show dissatisfaction with their accommodations and food, and it was evident that under the counsel of two or three desperate leaders, they were preparing to seize and rifle the steamer and the passengers. The Captain proposed to run into one of the nearest ports and get rid of the dangerous conspirators, but this Old Bull's violin, one of the finest ever made, is over 400 years old. Has declined an offer of $3,000, not wishing to part with his treasure. His bow is singularly noticeable, being longer and heavier than used by any other violinist. This sparkler with forty diamonds, set in gold at the burr, and two at the point, and its estimated worth is more than $2,000. "Young man, do you ever drink?" asked a mild-looking man, according Jones. "Well, yes, thank you. So it's a cold morning I don't mind," replied Jones. removing a quid o' tobacco. "Don't do it any more," rejoined the mild man. "or you will eventually be damned. Good morning. God bless you." Men are often capable of greater things than they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit and seldom draw to their full extent.—[ Walpole]. General Merchandise. THE OLDEST ESTABLISHED BUSINESS HOUSE IN ANAHEIM. LANGENBEBGER & CO. DEALERS IN General Merchandise vessel itself was commanded by a fine old seaman, Captain Tinklepaugh. On the first day out the new reeer its began to show dissatisfaction with their accommodations and food, and it was evident that, under the counsel of two or three desperate leaders, they were preparing to seize and rifle the steamer and the passengers. The Captain proposed to run into one of the nearest ports and get rid of the dangerous conspirators, but this was resisted by Commodore Ammen who had the turbulent men in charge. He quietly reasoned with them; assured them that as he was responsible for their good conduct, he would see to their proper comfort, but that if they resorted to violence they would severely punished. He was so cool and kind as he made this statement, that they did not think him in earnest, and proceeded with their plans. Their chief, Kelley, was a young fellow of six feet four inches, very athletic and determined. When the first demonstration was made Commodore Ammen was in a distant part of the vessel, and on hearing the noise proceeded to the scene of action. There he found Captain Tinklepaugh in the hands of Kelley, who was surrounded by the other mutineers, all evidently under his orders, and ready to proceed to the worst extremities. The crisis had come, and Ammen, seeing that prompt action was necessary to save the steamer, and perhaps the lives of the female passengers, drew his revolver and shot Kelley dead on the spot. One of his immediate followers was killed at the same time. The effect on the others was instantaneous. They saw that the quiet man who had them in charge was resolved to enforce his authority, and they quailed. He then briefly addressed them, telling them of his determination, exhorted them to remember their duty and their flag, and was greeted with three hearty cheers, after which, under his aid, they went to their dinner. There was of course, great consternation among the cabin passengers, but they were soon reassured by the calm demeanor of Commodore Ammen. His next step was to go straight among the remainder of the mutineers, and to call out the leaders and order them in irons. Or two attempted to resist, but when they saw that they would soon be made to follow their dead companions, who had by this time been sewed in canvas and cast overboard they submitted, the whole There was of course, great consternation among the cabin passengers, but they were soon reassured by the calm demeanor of Commodore Ammen. His next step was to go straight among the remainder of the mutineers, and to call out the leaders and order them in irons. One or two attempted to resist, but when they saw that they would soon be made to follow their dead companions, who had by this time been sewed in canvas and cast over board, they submitted. The whole affair occupied very little time; and the commanders, crew and passengers were so impressed by the resolute courage of Commodore Ammen that they joined in a hearty commendation of his course. Justice Field himself addressed a strong letter to the Department in earnest vindication of the wisdom and energy of his action. I do not pretend to tell the story as it fell from Commodore Ammen—so modest and so clear. His printed defense before the Court-martial, which he demanded, is a model of candor, and was followed by his unanimous acquittal. Had he been weak or impulsive, the scene would have ended in a grand tragedy and perhaps hundreds of innocent persons would have perished. Men like Ammen, though beloved and honored in their own circle, and by the Government they bravely and unostentiously serve, are rarely heard of in the great outside world, and it is simple justice that they should not be wholly lost sight of in the long rush and conflict in these busy times. Eliminate Sumner, Trumbull and Schura from the Senate, and one seems to look over a barren waste of conceited stupidity. These aminent men seem to roll up like whales' banks in a vast sea of dreary commerce.—Don Platt. Real Estate Etc. RARE CHANCE. TUSTIN CITY, Lots and Blocks Given Away!
