Corona and Coronet - Being a Narrative of the Amherst Eclipse Expedition to Japan, in Mr. James's Schooner-Yacht Coronet, to Observe the Sun's Total Obscuration 9th August, 1896 #255216

To avoid repetition, our friendly company are named on paper as they were often designated on board, the Captain, the Professor or Astro nomer, the Doctor, the Musician, and so on. Mr. Francis was apt to be addressed as General, largely because of his masterful management of expedition finances; and Mr. Pemberton was known as Chief, having been many years chief engineer of the U. S. S. Monocacy while attached to our Asiatic squadron. During that time, he had in 1887 accompanied Professor Todd's ear lier expedition to Shirakawa, in central Japan, where his assistance was peculiarly welcome.
