The Society has also received, through the courtesy of Richard Allgire of the Michigan Limestone Division of United States Steel Corp., parent organization of the Bradley Transportation Line, a steering oar, lifeboat oar, lifeboat tiller bar and lifejacket from the CARL D. BRADLEY. Tney were recovered from High Island. Incident- ally, that was Allgire's photograph of the launching of the ARTHUR B. HOMER that covered two pages in a recent issue of Life magazine. WHO CAN help memoer Ken Ro Macpherson, of Toronto, with data on the MONTGOMERY which he has sketched here from an illustration in a book? It is shown at Collingwood in pane eee about 1860, CONTROVERSY: W. R. Williams, of Penetanguishene, Ont., writes that some supplemental information from another source, added to his account of the late James Playfair, was erroneous. The inform- ation was that the ST, ANDREW was wrecked on Passage Island in Lake Superior on Sept. 25, 1900. Williams declares the ST. ANDREW actually was wrecked on Bachand Island at the entrance to Nipigon Strait, more than 50 miles from Passage Island, and that the dete was Sept. 20, He sent along a photostat of an article on the STL ANDREW which he wrote for Inland Seas and which appeared on Page 218 of Vol. 10, No. 3, in the Fall of 1954. @ ree cen: Could you identify the four boats of the “playfair"™ Fleet which appeared on Page 3 of the January Histor- ian?
