FIFTY YEARS AT SEA

ROUND THE WORLD ́SEVEN TM 8.

Nearly 50 years at sea was the remarkable record of Mr. Augustas Topping, who died at Luton, at the age of eighty-three. Belonging to a Devon family of seafarers, he was apprenticed to the Mercantile Marine at the age of thirteen. Subsequently he saled completely round the world seven times, and it was his boast that there was not a port which he had: not visited. Five times his ship was wrecked, and on three occasion's he helped to save the crews of other wrecked vessels. One of his earliest ... experiences was in a transport carry- ing troops to the Crimea. When in the China tea trade, in the days of the clippers, he took part in many fights with Malay pirates.
