2 CONT ALEXANDER MILNE 
2 CONT 
2 CONT More than sixty years ago, when the profession of marine engineer on the Great Lakes was ne
2 CONC w and poorly supplied, Alexander Milne came to the United States from his home in Aberdeen, S
2 CONC cotland. He left his native land at the instance of the Royal Mail line, a Canadian steamshi
2 CONC p company which carried the mails for the subjects of the Queen along the great fresh-water s
2 CONC eas. The now varied commerce of the lakes was in its infancy then, and all classes of experie
2 CONC nced seamen were difficult to secure, so that many followers of the sea in other lands were a
2 CONC ttracted to this corner of the world. Among them was Alexander Milne, who founded what is per
2 CONC haps the most important family of marine engineers on the Great Lakes. He was born in Aberdee
2 CONC n, Scotland, in the year 1809, and had followed the profession of marine engineering from th
2 CONC e earliest engagement he was able to secure. 
2 CONT During the years he was connected with the Royal Mail line he was chief engineer of the fleet
2 CONC , and the important and responsible duties which devolved upon him were ably and conscientiou
2 CONC sly performed. Among the vessels of this line whose machinery he directed were the Commodor
2 CONC e Berry, on which he was sailing when it was lost; the Admiral, Princess Royal, City of Kings
2 CONC ton, City of Toronto, Transit and Scotland. 
2 CONT He married Miss Bessie Vair, of Berwickshire, Scotland. Their children were James, who died i
2 CONC n infancy; George B., chief engineer of the propeller J.H. Devereux; John, who is deceased; A
2 CONC lexander, chief engineer of the side-wheel steamer Alexandria; William, chief engineer of th
2 CONC e propeller Niagara; Thomas, chief engineer of the propeller Melbourne; and Jessie, deceased.

2 CONT GEORGE B. MILNE 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Forty years or more have been spent by George Bannerman Milne, chief engineer of the J.H. Dev
2 CONC ereux, in the commercial marine of the Great Lakes. He was born in Glenburnie, New York, hi
2 CONC s mother being in that city on a visit, in 1838. His father was Alexander Milne, a Scotch eng
2 CONC ineer who came to America a short time after the year 1830 to become chief engineer of the Ro
2 CONC yal Mail line, and who resided at that time, in Canada. George B. Milne spent his early day
2 CONC s in school, afterward becoming time-keeper in the Dry Dock Engine Works of Montreal, which w
2 CONC ere owned by the firm Milne & Milne, his uncle, John A. Milne, being one of the proprietors
2 CONC . He spent eight years at various times in this establishment, becoming a skillful machinis
2 CONC t and engineer. He commenced sailing in 1856, that year placing the engines in the new steame
2 CONC r Tinto, and running them for three months afterward. After the Tinto burned, which occurre
2 CONC d while she was on her way up Lake Ontario, seventeen lives being lost at the time, he return
2 CONC ed to Oswego where he made his headquarters for some time, and became engineer of the steame
2 CONC r Cincinnati, whose name was afterward changed to the City of Hamilton. He spent five years i
2 CONC n this vessel, after which he was engineer successively of the steamers Avon, which later ha
2 CONC d the Tinto's engines, and the Jacques Cartier. After being with the Cartier for two seasons
2 CONC , he accepted a contract with the firm of Gilbert & Bartley, engine builders, to the lake St
2 CONC . John to place a pair of engines in the steamer Metabetchouen. He remained with this boat tw
2 CONC o seasons. Her name was later changed to The Pioneer. In 1861 he assumed charge of the engin
2 CONC e room of the steamer Nicolet, being made master after he had been in her two months. He spen
2 CONC t two years in Vermont and the East as contractor, building docks, piers, etc., and one steam
2 CONC er, after which he went to Quebec and commanded successively the steamers Conqueror No. 1, Ja
2 CONC mes G. Ross, Progress and M. Stevenson. For a time he was engineer of the St. Lawrence Stea
2 CONC m Navigation Company, which operated thirty-eight vessels. He changed from one vessel to anot
2 CONC her very often, as his duties required, and thus saw service on nearly all the fleet. Then h
2 CONC e went to Oswego again and took the steamer Flora, leaving her at the close of the season, an
2 CONC d sailing as chief in the steamer Samuel Marshall for the two seasons following. In 1892 an
2 CONC d 1893 he had charge of the engine room of the Viking, and in 1894 he was chief in the Elfin-
2 CONC Mere and the Arundel successively. During a part of the season of 1895 he was in the employ o
2 CONC f the Detroit Ferry Company, in the steamer Fortune, being in the steamer Chisholm the remain
2 CONC der of the year. He was chief engineer of the Devereux during the season of 1896 and 1897. I
2 CONC n 1868 Mr. Milne was married to Miss Margaret D. McBean, of Athol Mills, Prescott county, Ont
2 CONC ario. Their children are McBean, a Baptist clergyman in Detroit; George M., a marine engineer
2 CONC ; Mortimer, Annie, Charles, Russell, Christina, Lorne, William and Inez. A daughter, Addie, i
2 CONC s deceased.

2 CONT A.R. MILNE 
2 CONT 
2 CONT A.R. Milne was born in the historic old town of Kingston, Ont., in 1842. He attended the publ
2 CONC ic schools of his native place until he began his career as a mechanical engineer, at the ag
2 CONC e of fourteen years becoming an apprentice in the Kingston Locomotive & Car Works. Here he re
2 CONC mained four years, until the different parts of the locomotive engine, and their relations t
2 CONC o one another, became as familiar to him as the rising and setting of the sun, and then he we
2 CONC nt to Montreal and took up marine engineering in the shops of E.E. Gilbert, returning to King
2 CONC ston after two years' experience in this line. Mr. Milne passed his examination as engineer i
2 CONC n 1860, but as he was not yet of age, the inspectors were compelled, by law, to withhold hi
2 CONC s certificate until he reached his majority. Very shortly afterward he took charge of the eng
2 CONC ines of the steamers Pierpont and Gazelle, which ran between Kingston and Wolf Island, from t
2 CONC hese boats transferring to the steamers Montreal and Ottawa, of the Jacques & Tracy line, run
2 CONC ning between Hamilton and Montreal. Later on he took charge of the engines of the Rochester
2 CONC , afterward called the Hastings, and now familiar to Toronto people as the Eurydice; she at t
2 CONC hat time ran between Cobourg and Charlotte. Following his service on this boat he took charg
2 CONC e of the engines of the Bay of Quinte, a steamer owned by Charles F. Gildersleeve, the presen
2 CONC t general manager of the Richelieu line. 
2 CONT About this time Mr. Milne (then only twenty-eight years of age) returned to Kingston and buil
2 CONC t the fine steamer Pierpont. From this boat he went on the Norseman, now the North King, whic
2 CONC h runs between Port Hope and Charlotte, remaining on her until he was sent for to fit out th
2 CONC e steamer Vanderbilt at Lindsay, Ont.,a boat which was designed to ply on the Scugog and Stur
2 CONC geon Lakes. This work completed, Mr. Milne went to St. Catharines to complete the steamer Lot
2 CONC hair, in which the second compound engine on Lake Ontario was placed. The following six year
2 CONC s he was engaged on the steamer Alexandria, running between Montreal and Charlotte, which wa
2 CONC s owned at that time by Mr. Walter Ross, of Picton, and is now the property of Mr. A. W. Hepb
2 CONC urn, of the same place. For fourteen years following the last-named engagement Mr. Milne wa
2 CONC s chief trade instructor of the Kingston Asylum. Always fertile in original, and at the sam
2 CONC e time practical, ideas, this gentleman became the inventor and designer of the Sanitary Ga
2 CONC s Machine, which, both in theory and practice, has proved a brilliant success, and is now i
2 CONC n operation in the Kingston Asylum, the town of Brampten, and at other points. For about a ye
2 CONC ar Mr. Milne traveled for Messrs. George Bertram & Sons, the well-known shipbuilders of Toron
2 CONC to, and afterward visited the United States on business connected with his own invention. O
2 CONC n his return he again took charge of the Alexandria, and continued on her until the end of th
2 CONC e last season, when he accepted his present position, that of first engineer on the Passport
2 CONC , one of the finest steames(sic) in the Richelieu line. Mr. Milne has a fine family of six so
2 CONC ns, all of whom are launched successfully on the sea of life. The eldest, William O., is edit
2 CONC or and proprietor of the monthly financial journal, Money and Risks, Toronto; T. J. and Fran
2 CONC k E. have a steam laundry in Kingston; Frederick E. is manager of the wholesale house of Fre
2 CONC d E. Saul, Syracuse, N.Y.; A.C. is paying teller in the Peterboro branch of the Canadian Ban
2 CONC k of Commerce; Melville E. is studying medicine at Queen's University, Kingston. 
2 CONT Mr. Milne has done considerable traveling in America, and two years ago visited Scotland wit
2 CONC h the Independent Order of Foresters, of which organization he is past high chief ranger. H
2 CONC e is also a past president of St. Andrews Society. So well is Mr. Milne known and so highly r
2 CONC espected in Kingston, he was chosen by the largest and most influential ward in that city t
2 CONC o represent her citizens in the municipal council. His career has been successful and highl
2 CONC y honorable, and is worthy of more than ordinary notice.

2 CONT To The Editor of the Daily News
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Sir - I should feel obliged by your publishing the following explanations in relation to my r
2 CONC elinquishing the duties of Engineer of the steamer Bay of Quinte. My reason for the request i
2 CONC s that there are various rumors current in the city respecting the affair, many of which ar
2 CONC e not only absurd, but absolutely injurious to my standing in my profession. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT On Monday last, when in Belleville, the signal bell for starting was rung by the mate some fi
2 CONC ve minutes in advance of the regular time, which, of course, I obeyed. This action upon my pa
2 CONC rt displeased Captain Comer, who appeared very angry, and, notwithstanding, I referred him t
2 CONC o the mate for explanations; some angry words passed between us, but ultimately the matter dr
2 CONC opped and appeared to be amicably settled; what then was my astonishment, upon my arrival a
2 CONC t Kingston next day, to be informed by Captain Comer that myself and Mr. Agnew, the purser, w
2 CONC ere discharged from our duties on the boat without the slightest reason being assigned for th
2 CONC is precipitate action. The owner of the steamer, Mr. Gildersleeve, being at Montreal at the t
2 CONC ime, I refused to accept my discharge from Captain Comer until I had received a direct commun
2 CONC ication to that effect from the former gentleman, and accordingly tied up the boat until a te
2 CONC legram could be received. After the vessel had been detained for a couple of hours the messag
2 CONC e arrived confirming the discharge, when I of course left. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Upon since entering into explanations with Mr. Gildersleeve, the only reason he assigned fo
2 CONC r his strange conduct was, that he must sustain Captain Comer at all hazards, who had said th
2 CONC at he could not run the boat with any confidence so long as the purser and myself remained o
2 CONC n board. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT I beg to append a certificate of character, etc., given to me by Mr. Gildersleeve since my di

2 CONT THE LAUNCH 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mr. Kinghorn's new steamboat was successfully launched on Saturday afternoon, from Messrs. Po
2 CONC wer & Son's shipyard. It was publicly known in the city that the launch would take place at t
2 CONC wo o'clock, and some time previous to that hour a large number of persons had assembled to wi
2 CONC tness a sight which has always a certain amount of excitement connected with it, and which i
2 CONC s always a source of more or less anxiety to the owners and builders of the vessel to be laun
2 CONC ched. The vessel upon the stocks was, as befitted the importance of her position, decorated f
2 CONC rom stem to stern with flags and streamers, while to do honour to the occasion all the neighb
2 CONC ouring vessels put on their best holiday attire. The booms and timbers in the yard, the deck
2 CONC s of the vessels and barges near by and every spot which presented an eligible site to view t
2 CONC he proceedings were crowded with spectators, and the spectacle altogether was one unusually g
2 CONC ay and animated. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT When it was determined to build the present vessel the composite plan was determined upon
2 CONC , a plan first advocated and adopted in Canada by Mr. Power, the builder of the vessel, and w
2 CONC hich consists in a union of iron frame and hull upon a wooden bottom. Mr. John Kinghorn was s
2 CONC ent to Scotland to make arrangements for the iron work, which was ultimately given to a celeb
2 CONC rated Glasgow firm to construct. There was no delay in the manufacture of this portion of th
2 CONC e vessel, which was received in Kingston early in the spring and on the 24th of May the vesse
2 CONC l's keel was laid and 
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Day by day the vessel grew, 
2 CONT 
2 CONT With timbers fashioned strong and true." 
2 CONT 
2 CONT and with praiseworthy speed, the vessel was completed for launching on Saturday last, and 
2 CONT 
2 CONT "All is finished! and at length 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Has come the bridal day 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Of beauty and of strength, 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Today the vessel shall be launched!" 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Punctually at two o'clock Mr. Power gave notice that all was ready, and Mr. Kinghorn with hi
2 CONC s daughter, Miss Dinah Kinghorn, and a number of friends went on board, and almost immediatel
2 CONC y after the vessel began to glide off her cradle, and amid the shouts and cheers of the spect
2 CONC ators, Miss Kinghorn dashed the baptismal bottle of champagne against her stem, and as the ve
2 CONC ssel rapidly glided down the ways and boldly took the water it was known that she should bea
2 CONC r the old Pierrepont's name - 
2 CONT 
2 CONT "__ Of another form indeed; 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Built for freight and yet for speed 
2 CONT 
2 CONT A beautiful and gallant craft." 
2 CONT 
2 CONT With the launch ended the labours of the shipwrights for the day, and they at once prepared t
2 CONC o regale themselves with a supply of eatables and an unlimited allowance of beer; and the gus
2 CONC to which they displayed in their discussion of the good things provided, seemed to show tha
2 CONC t they would consider a launch each Saturday no bad termination of the week's work. Mr. G.M
2 CONC . Kinghorn entertained a large number of friends to lunch. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT The vessel is 128 feet keel, or 130 feet over all, 32 feet beam, and 8 feet depth of hold, an
2 CONC d now she is in the water she looks remarkably well, and is a credit to all connected with he
2 CONC r build. The superintendence of the construction of the iron work was committed to the care o
2 CONC f Mr. Alexander Milne, a practical engineer and a gentleman every way fitted for the work s
2 CONC o successfully carried out. The vessel was towed to Messrs. Davidson and Doran's wharf, and s
2 CONC he received her boiler on board, and her machinery will be put in without loss of time. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT -It is stated that in view of the rapid increase of the grain trade by the St. Lawrence, th
2 CONC e Montreal Transportation Company has decided to increase its Capital Stock, and to add large
2 CONC ly to its stock of barges, which with an additional elevator now in course of construction fo
2 CONC r use in Kingston will assure despatch, and it is presumed may remove the objection sometime
2 CONC s entertained by vessel owners against this route. [Montreal News]

2 CONT The Kathleen Launched
2 CONT Last fall Mr. W. Bajus sold his interest in the steamer Rideau Belle to Capt. Noonan, and soo
2 CONC n after began the building of a new steamer on the property adjoining Anglin's saw mill. Wor
2 CONC k progressed rapidly until the boat was ready for launching a week ago. She was to have bee
2 CONC n let off her ways on Saturday, but owing to low water the event did not occur. On Monday i
2 CONC t was thought she could be safely launched, but it was discovered that she drew twelve inche
2 CONC s more water than was at the foot of the ways. Upon further examination yesterday it was foun
2 CONC d that the water had risen and that there was only six inches less water at the stern than sh
2 CONC e would draw. They determined to push her off, calulating that she would go down the ways wit
2 CONC h sufficient force to enable her to reach deep water. The men were right in their suppositio
2 CONC n and a more satisfactory launch could not have been witnessed. The steamer did not start unt
2 CONC il 3:30 p.m. Long before this time a large audience of citizens gathered in the vicinity of t
2 CONC he saw-mill. The men were not long in getting the boat ready. Before she moved Mr. Bajus lift
2 CONC ed his little girl Kathleen, after whom the boat is called, upon the woodwork near the bow
2 CONC . A blue ribbon tied to a bottle of wine held by Kathleen, was suspended over the boat, and w
2 CONC hen she slipped away, Kathleen christened her by breaking the bottle on the woodwork. At th
2 CONC e foot of the ways the boat laboured a little owing to low water, but got over the difficult
2 CONC y satisfactorily. A hearty cheer was given by the spectators and workmen when it was seen tha
2 CONC t she was safely off the ways. She sits proudly in the water and looks staunch. She is a comp
2 CONC osite boat, made partly of steel and wood, 109 feet long in length and 28 feet beam, and wil
2 CONC l be driven by a triple expansion engine designed by H.W. Granger, of Detroit, and manufactur
2 CONC ed by the Kingston locomotive works company. Her boilers were built in the same place. The Ka
2 CONC thleen will run on the Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal route. She will have twenty-four statero
2 CONC oms and sufficient saloon accommodation for passengers. Her commandant will be Mr. W. Bajus a
2 CONC ssisted by Capt. L. Depencier; her first engineer T. Milne; her purser W.H. Storey. She is ex
2 CONC pected to travel fourteen miles an hour. The work on her has been well done and gives the own
2 CONC er satisfaction. The ship-carpentry work was executed under M. Clayton as foreman; the joine
2 CONC r work by D. Earl; the caulking by E. Arundell. On the outside of the hull there is steel pla
2 CONC te from the covering board and to the depth of twenty-four inches, and under the deck beams i
2 CONC nside there there are nine staunchions rivetted to the frames. The boat has to receive her ma
2 CONC chinery yet and be painted inside. She will not be ready for service before July 1st.

2 CONT GEORGE M. MILNE 
2 CONT 
2 CONT One of a race of marine engineers, and with the examples of his father, his father's brother
2 CONC s and his grandfather before him, it was more than natural that George Malcolm Milne should e
2 CONC arly aspire to holding the throttle on a big lake carrier. His grandfather, Alexander Milne
2 CONC , who was born in Scotland in 1809, came to America in the thirties to become engineer-in-chi
2 CONC ef of the Royal Mail line, and his father, George B. Milne, has been a marine engineer for fo
2 CONC rty years, being now chief engineer of the Devereux. 
2 CONT George M. Milne was born in 1871 in Rigaud, Province of Quebec, near the site of the Rigaud C
2 CONC ement Works, which were and are still the property of his father. He was educated in the publ
2 CONC ic schools of Detroit and Oswego, in which cities his parents lived while he was a youth. H
2 CONC e spent some time in the locomotive works of the D.L. & W. railroad, in Oswego, and in the ye
2 CONC ar 1890 he began sailing on the Great Lakes. During his first season he was oiler on the prop
2 CONC eller Onoko. Then he served in the same capacity on the Philip Minch, later assuming charge o
2 CONC f the electric plant of the "Clifton House" in Chicago. He did not hold his position long a
2 CONC s he was desirous of returning to the lakes, and the next year he became second engineer of t
2 CONC he propeller Elfin-Mere. From this vessel he went to the Arundel, also as second engineer, an
2 CONC d thence to the propeller Garland, as chief. The following year, 1895, he was chief enginee
2 CONC r of the propeller Germania, during 1896, he was chief engineer of the Devereux, under his fa
2 CONC ther, and in 1898 again chief engineer of the steamer Garland for the Detroit, Belle Isle & W

1 NOTE Joe Zawada worked in the Calumet & Hecla Copper Mines in Calumet, MI with his father, Frank
2 CONC , and his uncle, Jacob. 
2 CONT Joe came downstate Michigan after the Copper Mining strike in 1913, and changed his last nam
2 CONC e to Wades. Joe found work on a railroad. He then worked to bring his entire immediate famil
2 CONC y downstate. His father worked for the city of Detroit, and Joe ended up working for the Depa
2 CONC rtment of Defense, as a procurement agent for Sherman tanks.
2 CONT Joe was married late in life to Isabel Beatrice Milne at the age of 38, and he became a fathe
2 CONC r by age 45. He found 1 1/2 acres of property in Livonia, MI with a home and an orchard, an
2 CONC d that is where his family settled. Joe loved tending to his orchard, and catching the occasi
2 CONC onal pheasant in a hunt.
2 CONT Wild horses and deer often ran through the property and the adjoining wetlands forest.
2 CONT Two years into his retirement, Joe suffered a fatal heart attack. One September afternoon a
2 CONC t home, Joe was in the kitchen when the heart attack began. Joe grabbed a piece of paper an
2 CONC d scribbled instructions to his wife Isabel on where to find the storm windows, and then he f
2 CONC ell under the kitchen table and died.
2 CONT Joe was a harsh man in life, and often spoke or acted out violently against his wife and chil
2 CONC dren. His son Jerry recalls his father as having "hands the size of Sherman tanks", which h
2 CONC e would use "to put you through a wall" if he and his brother caused their father any trouble
2 CONC . It is rumoured that Joe hung with members of the Purple Gang, but I have not been able to v
2 CONC erify this yet.
