        [121]

              SIDNEY LE BEAU is one of the seven children of JOHN and
           SAPHRONA (LAUNDERVILLE) LE BEAU, the former of whom was a
           carpenter by trade, and was born in Ogdensburg, N.Y., March 31,
           1869.
              MR. LE BEAU began his seafaring life in 1885, shipping before
           the mast on the Buckley, an Ogdensburg boat, for that season,
           and in 1886 went as porter on the Japan. The following season he
           was in the same capacity on the India, on which he also com-
           menced the season of 1888, making two trips as her lookout. He
           then went into the City of Fremont, wheeling her during the
           season of 1889, and shipped in the same capacity the next season
           on the Josephine, remaining for half of the season; the balance
           he spent on the Sheldon. The three succeeding seasons he was
           with CAPTAIN BROWN, of Cleveland, on the Choctaw, wheeling her
           two seasons, and acting as second mate the third season. In 1894
           he went on the Kearsage, helping to fit her out new, and
           remained as her second mate all that season; the following one,
           1895, was about divided equally between the Hopkins and the
           Pearl, his service as mate on the latter ending when she was
           laid up, and he finished the season on the Lehigh, as second
           mate. For the seasons of 1896-97 MR. LE BEAU was second mate of
           the Juniata, and during the season of 1898 he was employed as
           mate of the steamer Geo. Presley, with C. D. WOODWARD. He has
           two brothers who are now sailing, GEORGE being wheelsman on the
           Schuylkill, and THEOPHILE wheelsman on the Delaware.  MR.
           LE BEAU is a painstaking, conscientious and faithful worker,
           paying attention to every little detail, and these qualities
           will ultimately, in the no-distant future, secure him command of
           one of the fast liners.
              MR. LE BEAU was married to Miss EVA MARCOU, of Ogdensburg,
           February 17, 1896, and one daughter has blessed their union.
           The family residence is at No. 50 Canal street, Ogdensburg, New
           York.
