himeetf, After a number of years the
Colwell was sold and he then took the
steamer George Spencer, but on account
of disease which had this early begun
to develop he had to resign early in the
fall. A course of treatment under the
celebrated Dr, Roddick, of Montreal,
restored him to a fair state of health
and he was then engaged to take com-
mand of the steamer Michigan, trading
on the Pacific const from Columbia
river to San Francisco, It was found,
however, that the fogs which prevail in
that part of the Pacific would be in-
jurious to his health, so he was obliged
to give it lip. He then took charge of
the steamer Eltinmere, where he re-
mained a number of years. Ile was
then appointed to the Charlemagne
Powe., ,Jr., and from that to the steel
steamer Spokane. His next command
was the City of Berlin, to which he was
appointed 10 years ago, and whore he
remained until three months since,
when he finally succumbed to the
malady which he had been fighting for
the laet 10 years. He came home to
die, but when death came it had ne
terror for him, and his way to the
grave was made smooth by a gentle-
man he ever held in reverence, the
Rev. A. MoLeao, As a steamboat cap-
tain it was admitted all over the lakes
he had no superior and few equals. He
had many of the adventures which occur
in a sailor's life, but probably his great-
est achievement was in the spring of
1901, when in the memorable ice jam at
the lower end of Lake Huron he alone
among an armada of steamers forced
the Berlin through the ice pack. This
might be called look but there was still
the more difficult iceberg filled riyer
St. Clair to run. The next day the
marine fraternity all oyer the chain of
lakes wore electrified to learn that the
City of Berlin had got through. He
was married 12 years ago and leaves a
widow, but no children. 'The funeral
took place on Tuesday afternoon from
his mother's residence to the Union
cemetery and was largely attended,
many old friends turning out to pay
their last respects to a noble son, hus-
band and brother. The services at the
house and grave were conducted by
ltev, A. McLean. To the aged mother,
wife, brothers, sisters and other rela-
tives we extend our sympathy in their
bereavement.
