He was second mate in the service of the China Navigation Company, on board of the Pelin, and lost command through a firm assumption 66 authority and independence of spirit.

tempt fate once more in another blockade WHEN I HAVE TO PRETEND THAT I DONT, YOU KNOW.
In April 1885, during the Franco. China War, with 600 Chinese troops, he was captured by n French raiser.
The BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO
ship was taken as a prize to Saigon and sold, and Carozzi was sent to the Pescadores where he was liberated in a short time by the French authorities on parule. There seems to have been collusion to the sur- rehder in this case, as the terms were exceptionally light, and the ubiquitous cap tain was in possession once more of his, liberty. During a sealing trip to the Behring Sea in 1888, for an act of insub- ordination in complicity with his mate, he shot one of his Chinese crew, and in } consequence stood his trial on the capital offence before the Cousular Court in i Yokohama. After short duliberation thei jury acquitted the accused, but as he afterwards remarked to his friends, it was amurais quart d'heure, and one, with all his stolidity and indifference, that was exceptionally trying to his nerves.
There
are few knew him intimately that will not! miss him, for his wealth of anecdote, for the careless way he looked on the serious side of life. Brave to the verge of suicide, generous to a fault, proud to a degree that often led his best friends to mistake his motive, he has dropped out of the running and there is not a mun who enjoyed his friendship who does not know that he has sustained a personal loss by Captain Carozzi's death.
