ly dilates
We would like that no reason foi
complaint, in connection with this
otherwise pleasant trip, had existed
but we cannot refrain from stating
that the treatment some of the excur-
tionists received at the hands of the
Steward, was outrageous in the ex-
treme, and that this austere specimen
of the genus homo referred to is most
unfit for the position he holds to the
evident injury of the route. Indeed,
were the crew purged of all incapa-
bles, we feel satisfied an increase OF
business would speedily follow. We
never before had occasion to cross over
to Saginaw on the "Huron" and
know that it viii be long time be-
fore a great many who went on the
last Excursion will do so again, unless
a change takes place in its officers
We cannot, nor yet could the Excur-
sionists altogether exonerate the Cap
tain, for let it be remarked that the
passengers generally were SO annoyed
at his inconsiderate conduct, that no
such thing usual upon such occasions)
as resolutions of thanks for courtesy
extended, was presented to him. No!
He hadn't the pleasure of adding in
suit to injury by saying "Thank you
gentlemen" etc. We don't wish the
name of Mr.. Pierce, mate, and Mr..
Casey, soloonkeeper, associated those
of whom we complain. These gentle
lien exerted themselves to their utter
most in trying to make the passengers
rs COM srtable as possible, and they
received the thanks Of goodly num-
Der of gentlemen who assembled to-
cether in the cabin for that purpose.
We haven't space at this time to state
now and in what way ill-treatment
was received. but reserve that for some
future occasion. We will, however,
return to the subject SO soon as we
can secure a photograph of that de-
cent young man, the Steward. In the
meantime, we would advise all who
have any respect for themselves or re-
gard for comfort to go round by rail
by way of Detroit. The fare is lit
tie more, but we believe Saginaw can
be reached in less time, and anyway
the loss if any, would be more than
made up by avoiding all incivility.-
We have in our remarks treated some
of the officers of the Huron" pretty
severely, but they have received not
one-half what they deserve; and if
any of our readers sympathise with
them. let them take a trip acoss to
Saginaw in the steamer as at present
differed, and then they will be able
to realize the force Of our remarks.
1t is fortunate, perhaps 'nat the
readers of the Rcc,e,r are spared a full
detail of the accumulated horrors Of
the trip, and as enough is given to
show the head and front of the offend
ing on the part of Capt. Cole and his
subordinates, those doleful remainders
may as well be ignored in the con-
sideration Of this important matter
The sum and substance of the whole
complaint is that the Steward was in
adequate to the emergency of proper
ly caring for the large party on board.
This may or may not be SO, one fact
we know, ard it is fact which fully
accords with his whole experience as
a steamboat manager, Capt. GOLF
than whom there is no more efficient,
courteous and obliging first officer on
the lakes-when applied to, MADE pro-
vision not only for the redress OF any
pretended grievance, but for the COM
fort of every passenger on board. The
idea of newspaper opposition to a
route of SO much advantage to Goder-
ich and its vicinity, by furnishing
trade, travel and first class market
for all surplus products, and to this
section by affording easy access to a
pleasant and healthful resort, and the
most direct and expeditions means for
the transmission Of the immense guam
titles of freight brought into the VAL
ley, solely on account Of little incon-
venience experienced by one unim-
portant individual, is simply absurd.
Lot the stricken doer go weep"
But let the Goderich steamer in the
future as in the past, receive the sup
port it merits, and If there are real or
imagined. grounds for complaint as to
its management, let them be remedied
by sensible people in a sensible way,
rs they always may be by personal
application to headquarters.
