British Whig (Kingston, ON), Jan. 27, 1883

p.3 Steamboat Business - A statement which recently went the rounds of the press, that the steamer Peerless had been purchased by the Rathbuns to run in lieu of the Armenia, seems to be a mistake. The latter goes to the Georgian Bay, and so do the Peerless and Magnet, which have been leased from the Ontario & Richelieu Navigation Company by the Toronto, Grey and Bruce R.R. The str. Hastings (C.F. Gildersleeve's) has been chartered by Rathbun & Son, and will next season run between Deseronto and Ogdensburg, the developed trade of which route justifies the employment of a larger boat.
