which was engaged in carrying supplies
for the government. His service with
this company under its changed corpor-

his death, his last assignment being ON

chance missed her disastrous trip. He
was at his home In South Portland at
the time and on that memorable Sunday
having some anxiety for the
fremont which was at her wharf in Port
land between and o'clock in the
morning he hsayed the storm to reach her
by crossing the bridge and getting to the
wharf crawled through the snow and
under the sheds to see that everything
was all right This severe trip and the
shock which came to him by the loss of
50 many ON the Portland whom he re
garsled as the dearest personal friends,
almost like brothers laid, the seeds Of
disease which resulted fatally.
His long continued service with the
steamboat company best attests his
efficiency and worth while to his faith
