CROSSED THE OCEAN 600 TIMES.

The Record of a Canard Captain Who Has Never Lost a Life. Thirty-seven years ago Captain William H. P. Hains entered the service of the Cunard Steamship Company, and except that his bushy hair and luxuriant Dundreary whiskers are now pure white there doesn’t

peem to be much change in his appearance from that day to this. He has just passed his 70th birthday and has been a sailor since 1838. In the course of bis long career as a master mariner he has never lost a life; indeed, it might almost be said that no ship which he commanded ever met with a mishap worth more than incidental mention in the log. Capt. Hains has crossed the Atlantic 600 times.
