=Connolly, Capt. James=, real estate, Coronado, Cal. He was born in
County Cavan, Ireland, 1842; came to this country when he was but
ten years of age, and spent much of his youth at East Dennis, Cape
Cod, Mass. His early love for the sea was gratified later in life
when he became captain of some of the finest deep-water ships
sailing from Baltimore, Boston and elsewhere. His first command was
the bark _May Queen_, a regular Baltimore and Rio packet, 1872. He
then had command of the ship Pilgrim of Boston, and made several
voyages to the East Indies. In 1884 he was given command of the
_Charger_, a larger and finer ship than the _Pilgrim_, and sailed to
ports in Japan. He next had command of the _South American_, “the
Commodore’s ship,” of the Hastings fleet (Boston), and took her to
Australia and other parts. He made several record voyages during his
career, and some of these records still stand, having never been
equalled. On one occasion he was wrecked off the coast of Africa; he
and his wife upon being rescued were hospitably entertained by the
Boers of the adjacent country. Returning to East Dennis, Mass., his
wife’s health became poor and so he removed with her to Coronado,
Cal., hoping that the change of climate would benefit her, but she
died in 1901. She had accompanied her husband on several of his
voyages, and had with him visited many parts of the world. Captain
Connolly has written much and entertainingly. He has at present in
manuscript form a novel of ocean life entitled _The Magic of the
Sea_.
