Excerpt
Excerpt: THE BRIG-SCHOONER PILGRIM. On February 2, 1876, the schooner Pilgrim was in latitude 43 degrees 57' south, and in longitude 165 degrees 19' west of the meridian of Greenwich. This vessel, of four hundred tons, fitted out at San Francisco for whale-fishing in the southern seas, belonged to James W. Weldon, a rich Californian ship-owner, who had for several years entrusted the command of it to Captain Hull.
