Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 3, 1900 - page 8 GENTLEMAN'S HALT. Mr. McKays's new steam launch ran her trial trip on Tuesday last, and proved satisfactory. The Mangrove boatman met with an accident on Monday week. When within a quarter-of-a-mile of Mangrove Wharf the boat started leaking and part of the cargo discharged she sank, taking with her a quantity of wattle bark and spokes. After working hard on Tuesday, the boat was floated late last evening. The bark was by that time entirely spoiled. A ball and supper was given at Pemberton's Hall on Saturday night by the Progress Association, there being a very large attendance, and some very pretty dresses were worn by the ladies. The ball was carried out under the management of a committee consisting of Messrs. E. Craft and Clarence Pemberton. Mr. S. Donovan acted as M.C., and the event proved a success.
