settled down to become trader in the
woods of the North peninsula, where
Benjamin Corvet was born.
During his boyhOod men came to the
peninsula to cut timber; young Corvet
worked with them and began building
ships. Thirty-five years ago he had
been only one of the hundreds with
his fortune in the fate of single bot

l of great steamers under the names or
various interdependent companies
were owned or controlled by him and
his two partners, Sheriff. and young
Spearman.
