installed at Oswego New York. She broke her propeller again in September 1888 while towing near Chicago. It was to be replaced at Port Dalhousie Ontario. On 1 October 1888, she was towing the Montreal Transportation Co. barges BRANDON, JENNIE and REGINA in a bad storm on Lake Superior. They were 40 miles away from their destination at Duluth Minnesota when BRANDON sank and JENNIE and REGINA were "waterlogged". The tug had to be dry docked in November 1888 after a collision on 29 October with the freighter MINNEAPOLIS (U 90524, 1,072.22 tons gross). During 1889-98 she was usually in the Oswego coal trade, but she also often went to Port Arthur Ontario For grain. She was ashore on the Barriefield Ontario beach during a gale on 10 January 1889 and was then pulled off by the Montreal Transportation Co. tug ACTIVE. WALKER was also aground at Port Huron Michigan in 1889. Her pilot house and Captain's cabin were raised in 1889 and her bottom was caulked in 1894. She foundered on 22 October 1898 100 yards off Nicholson's Island near Brighton Ontario while en route Oswego - Montreal with the Montreal Transportation Co. coal barges HECTOR and KILDONAN. They had been driven off course by a SE gale. One man was lost off one of the barges. Ten of the tug's crew got off in the WALKER's lifeboat and the eleventh man floated to shore on the roof of the pilot house. The tug's hull was raised by Donnelly in June of 1899 and her engine was removed. Montreal Transportation Co. had often employed her in grain trade to head of the lakes with the consort barges MINNEDOSA and KILDONAN. Mr. James Walker was an employee of Hugh McLennan's.
