February 23, 1950:

Retired Real Admiral Augustin T. Beauregard, a naval officer, and his wife were among 289 passengers who sailed on the S.S. Brazil.  He feels he can live more comfortably in Brazil than anywhere else in the world. Admiral Beauregard described his fondness for Latin America and said he has been a member of every United States naval mission to Brazil in the last 30 years.  At the time of his retirement in 1943, he was chief of the operating base as well as naval attaché in Rio de Janeiro.

The Admiral is a grandnephew of General P.G.T. Beauregard, the Confederate officer who commanded the attack on Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the Civil War.
