Capt. Craig's Farewell Supper - The Deseronto Tribune says: The supper on the steamer Hero, on Hallowe'en, passed off in a pleasant manner. As this is the popular Captain's last season on the bay he took this method of showing his good feeling towards both crew and friends. Shortly before 10 o'clock the guests were invited into the saloon of the steamer where a table was spread with all the delicacies of the season, and arranged in a manner calculated to tempt the appetite of even a dyspeptic. After ample justice had been done thereto the company was called to order by the Captain, and the remainder of the evening given up to speeches and songs. Songs were rendered by Harry (unreadable) and Nicholson, purser of the Hero, and several members of the crew. "Charlie" with his comical remarks, caused considerable merriment. The company dispersed about 12 o'clock. All regret Capt. Craig's decision to leave the Hero, but trust that he may have all success in the future.
