The miss- ing amount 1s placed at #3525 15, and Judg- ment is asked for that sum.

Bast- ham is spending the few remaining years of his life at 2123 Kittredge street, desert- ed and neglected by his Government, walting for a pension of $20 which Con- gressman Metcalf has just applied for in his name. Eastham’s story is a long, interesting tale of early days. When a mere lad he ran away from home, jolned the navy, fought in many battles, was wounded and sick and then discharged in his old age to be neglected by his country. In 1853, while mate of a merchantman which had stopped at Ceylon, Eastham 3olned Commodore Perry’s expedition to apan to open the ports of that country to the commerce of the United States.

A treaty of peace was signed by the Jap- anese Emperor and Perry in 1854. Fastham had the distinction of being one of Perry's barge and was detalled on many occasions to fight the pirates who infested the China Sea., In 1854 Eastham was transferred to the Warren and was discharged from that ship in 1855 or several years past Eastham has been unable to work and has lived with his sister, Mrs. Gwynneth, in Berkeley.
