Capt. A. C. McGhee, one of the four owriers of the slave ship Wanderer, has just celebrated his seventieth birthday -at his home Columbus, where he has lived for half a century. Hia associates were Richard Dickerson of Kich-mcnd Benjamin Davis of Charleston, fcj and Charles Lamar of' Savannah, and their venture was undertaken in 1858.

Capt. Semmes, a brother of Admiral Semmes of the Confederate cruiser Alabama, was employed to take command of the ship. He was a man of long ex jerience in trading with thef natives of the West Coast of Africa, cool-headed and daring. In the early summer of 1858 a regatta was arranged to come off in Brunswick harbor, on the Georgia coast, and owners of vessels North and South were invited to participate in. it.

Just before the big day a strange vessel sailed into the harbor, and the captain gave his name as Semmes, and the name of hjs vessel as the Wanderer, hailing from New Bedford. He applied for permission to race, but was ruled, out by the managers. The beautiful lines of his vessel attracted much attention, and her sailing qualities Were manifest. Capt. Semmes protested that he had not been fairly treated, and appeared to be very indignant over the refusal, buthis indignation was assumed.

He had really gone there to familiarize himself with the various passages between the bay and sounds of the Georgia coast and the main without exciting suspicion. He had sailed up the great Ogeechee River, which was not much frequented by vessels at, that time, and had found 4 suitable hiding place in case of emergency in a dense swamp about forty miles up the river. Having completed his arrangements for -the outward voyage, he took on a cargo of trinkets, brass wire, bright-colored cloths, and other gewgaws that were likely to tempt the Africau Bav-ages, and placed in the lockers of the ship flags of all the different maritime nations, so that the Wanderer might show any colors she chose. Then he placed her in charge of a picked crew and instructed his first mate to proceed to the mouth of the Congo River and await his appearance. Capt.

Semmes himself took passage on a steamer and reached a point 011 the African coast where be communicated with King Da-hominey, the petty ruler of one of the river provinces, lying along the Congo. "King Dahominey was not a hard man to deal with." said Capt. McGhee, in Speaking of the expedition, "and as he was very fond of personal display and a great lover of rum, it wanot long be' an agreement. The latter had taken along with him on the steamer a small stock of trinkets, and, to disarm suspicion, had given out that he was; going on a combination trading and exploring tour. A judicious exhibition of the trinkets, and the assurance that there were plenty more to he had.

induced the savage chief to agree to deliver on a certain date, at the mouth of the Congo, 750 of his subjects, between the ages of 13 and 18 years. The males cost a little more than the females, and the prices ranged from $1 to $2 a' head, paid for in bright-hued cloth, trinkets, and gewgaws. King Dahominey appeared to tind little difficulty in securing the captives, and, at the time ap-pointedythey were marched down to the mouth of the river, a crowd of miserable naked young men and womeu and boys and girls. The vessel answered the signal and the poor captives were hustled on board and confined in the hold. The Wanderer then set sail for the Southern shores of the United States.

"The death rate among the poor creatures was terrible, fifty of them dying during the homeward passage. Through the skill of Capt. Semmes the voyage was made without any serious mishap. The most difficult part of the voyage was to get into port. The only way to enter the mouth of the Savannah Kiver was under the black muzzles of the guns of the fort and it would have been madness to attempt to enter with that contraband cargo in open daylight.

Instead Capt. Semmes crept into the mouth of the Great Ogeechee by night and ascended the river to the big swamp and there lay concealed while he communicated with Lamar in Savannah, "Lamar thereupon announced that he was going to give a grand ball in honor of the officers and garrison of the fort, and insisted that the soldiers, as well as theirsuperiors, should partake of the good cheer. When the gayety was at its height the Wanderer stole into the river and passed the guns of jthe fort unchallenged in the darkness-and 'made her way to Lamar's plantations, some distance up the river. The human cargo was soon disembarked and placed under the charge of the old rice field negroes, who were nearly as savage as the new importations. Attempts 1 were made to put clothes on the savages, but they looked opon the garments with aversion, and some time waa required to induce them to wear even the scant garments of the slaves of the rice plantations.

They were kept there for several months and then taken to New Orleans, where slaves that had bee ci purchased for a few beads and bandanna handkerchiefs were sold in the market for from $U0O to $700 apiece. owners of the vessel paid Capt. Semmes $3,500 for his services and cleared upward of $10,000 apiece on the venture for themselves. A year had been required to make the voyage, and Capt. Semmes certainly earned his salary because of the hazardous nature of the expedition.

"In the spring of 1S59 the Wanderer again sailed for the West Coast of Africa, and again Capt. Semmes found King Dahominey ready- to trade on the liberal terms. On the second occasion he had to gor further up the river to se cure the cargo, but ne succeeded in delivering 600 captives at the mouth of the river. They were more intelligent than the first cargo, lighter in color, and better in many respects than those captured nearer the A number of them died during the voyage, and the iWanderer was put to her best speed on occasions to get away from undesirable acquaintances, but she was never overhauled, and she arrived off the Georgia coast In December, She was caught in a violent gale, and in attempting to enter Jekil Creek, between Jekil' and Cumberland Islands, she ran aground one stormy night, and a number of the captives escaped from the hold and jumped into the sea and were drowned. Capt.

Semmes went ashore and asked for shelter at the home of the Du Bignons, the owners of Jekil Island, without giving any hint of his business or calling, and was entertained dur'ng the night. On the following morning the vessel floated free and Capt. Semmes succeeded in. reaching the mouth of the Great Ogeechee, and soon had his ivessel concealed in her old quarters. Lamar was again notified, and he gave another big ball and a sec-end time the Wanderer ascended the fea-vannah River under cover of a dark night, and her cargo was disembarked at Lamar's plantations and turned over tJhe old rice field negroes.

1 These negroes adhered to many of their old superstitions. They possessed fcany tricks of catching Bmall animals and reptiles. One would stand in the middle of a field and make a peculiar noise with his mouth, which would attract a cloud of grassohppers. Catching them on the wing in his open hands he would devour them with grear gusto, Raceoons, opossum, hares, and even skunks were regarded as great delicacies, and some of the older ones had a knack of catching and eating rattlesnakes. The nature of the last cargo brought home-by the Wanderer became coifed about and an investigation was made penal im The R.
