	Captain William Sturgis and the "Atahualpa" Fight
		Captain Sturgis well knew the cruelty of the Chinese pirates, and he therefore got ready a barrel of gunpowder, telling his crew that he intended to blow all of them to pieces rather than to have them captured by their attackers.
		Young James Perkins Sturgis, a cousin of the captain, usually known as "Uncle Jem" by his contemporaries, was also a passenger on the "Atahualpa" and had been a victim of jaundice throughout the whole voyage, his face being described as resembling a sunflower.
		Sturgis acted as assistant trader and was so good in this position that he was chosen chief mate of the "Ulysses." He then went out under Captain Charles Derby in the "Caroline," one of James and Thomas Lamb's vessels; the Captain died on the voyage and young Sturgis took command.

	Amy Heard: Letters from the Gilded Age -- October
		John Chipman Gray was the wife of the brother of Russell Gray, later to become Amy's husband.
