The only testimonial of character ever given by the United States is borne by Captain F. B. Lawrence, a retired business man who Is leaving for the east, where he | will ive by the sea on which he spent the days of an adventurous and fomantic youth, / Captain Lawrence in other days salled the ocean in the service of the United States navy. His career led him into all the ports of the world and back again, He fought with the unregenerate Fiji down at the other end of the world and returned to do battle with Johnny Reb. When Captain Lawrence left the navy he declared himself done with the sea and was given what was then called in the parlance of the service a “short dis- charge.” “Long discharges were lssued only to men who were to re-enlist. This short discharge was a point blank, blunt sort of document, with no ornamentation. In recognition of his worthy service to Seaman Lawrence's discharge was added the pen written postscript: “But he is a good man.” Through all the years Captain Lawrence has treasured his discharge from the navy with its unique testimonial. He s a good man and has the word of the great United States for It. | Kidnaped in South Sea While a sallor Captain Lawrence was| engaged in a confilet in the Fiji isiands when he and several of his fellows were kidnaped to become of his fellows were supplies for a hungry cannibal chlef. He was slashed across the right wrist by the | stroke of a bolo in the hands of a lusty | savage. The fighting seaman came near | losing his hand by the wound, but recov- ered on the long voyage home, after the rescue by his shipmates. 1 At the outbreak of the clvil war Captain | Lawrence attached himself to Bartlett's | naval brigade, a rather ‘unique organization | designed for either land or sea service, but | more particularly for cowst service. ‘Prac- tically all of the meri were former seamen, and the regiment, which was organized as an infantry regiment, known later as the Ninety-ninth New York infantry, saw con- | slderable service at the very outbreak of | the war, taking part in the battle of Big | Bethel, the first battle of the war. Some | of the companies were assigned to ship | duty, one of them being on the frigate Congress that was sunk by the Merrimac | in Hampton Roads in 1862 On Both Lana and Sea. The regiment occupfed a distinct position in thes service and though technically known as the Ninety-ninth New Yorik, still maintained its greater reputation as Bartlett's Naval brigade. Captaln and Mrs. Lawrence have been residents of Omaha for over twenty years. He is & member of the Nebraska Com: mandery Loyal Leglon and was at one time its commander. Captain and Mrs. Law- rence will leave Monday for New Lon- don, Conn.,, where they will make their future home. Captain Lawrence has pur- chased an eighty-acre farm near New London, & portion of which les along ) sea coast. He and Mrs. Lawrence wil spend their summers in thelr new home, but will winter in Nebraska, » Now to Live in Hase, “I do not think that I shall do much personal farming,” said Captain Lawrence, “But the place is a beautiful one and we have just bought it as a nice place to end our few remaining days. We hate to leave Nebraska and Omaha, as we have made many dear friends here that we shall al- ways cherish, and will come back each winter to visit with them.” Captain Lawrence, through his long resi- dence in Omaha, was long connected with the lead industry. He was president of the Omaha Shot works, founded in 1882, and later sold his properties- to the trust.
