At random: In 1921, a United States submarine, the R-14, having run out of fuel at sea while looking for the missing tug USS Conestoga, rigged sails from blankets and hammocks sewn together. Bunk frames were used for yardarms and booms. The torpedo loading king post for a fore mast, the torpedo loading boom for a mizzen mast and the telescoping radio mast, for the main mast. The R-14 sailed 100 miles in five days to the port of Hilo, T.H. at a speed of two knots. It has been reported in March 2016 that the Conestoga has been located 3 miles off Southeast Farallon Island, probably sinking with-in a day of leaving port. All hands lost.

Does anyone remember a James MacAllister? I understand he was an RM. He served a skimmer ( the Higbee I believe) then served on the Carp from 55-57?, the Pickerel from 57-58, shore duty from 58-60?, and the Hardhead from 60-62. He was active in various law enforcement Depts. The last being Klamath Falls PD or Sheriff Dept.
Anyway, he passed away on November 20, 2008. I recently found out about him because I work with one of his grandsons at the Warner Creek Correctional Facility in Lakeview, Oregon. His grandson, Steve Chancellor, is a good guy, even though he's a former skimmer. Steve has been taking care of Big Jim's affairs. A memorial to him can be found at http://www.sltpd.com/news.asp?=51.
To James MacAllister-Hand Salute!
