The following was taken from the Shields Daily Gazette and Shipping Telegraph, Shields, England: "News has been received of the death at New York of Captain Anderson MCCLELLAND of South Shields, captain of the Bucknall liner City of Canberra. Captain MCCLELLAND, who was fifty-five years of age, was a native of South Shields, and a son of the late Rev. S. M. MCCLELLAND, former minister of the Laygate Presbyterian church. He was at home on a short leave recently, and joined his vessel at Manchester for the voyage to New York, where he succumbed to an attack of double pneumonia. His unexpected death came as a great shock to his relatives and many personal friends in South Shield where he was held in high esteem. "Mr. MCCLELLAND, a bachelor, had a distinguished career as a shop's officer and was one of the senior captains in the employ of the Bucknall Line, which he joined as second officer. Capt. MCCLELLAND's mother was a sister of the late Mrs. J. C. STEVENSON, wife of J. C. STEVENSON, a former member of Parliament for South Shields." A. G. MCCLELLAND, who calls McDonald his home and who has spent much time here during the past 25 years, is a brother of the late captain. In speaking of his brother, Mr. MCCLELLAND says he had a rough time of it during the war when he had three ships torpedoed from under him and was commanding officer of a British transport at the bombing of the Dardanelles. When his ship left Manchester, Captain MCCLELLAND was suffering a severe cold, which soon developed into pneumonia. A few days out, the German liner "Resolute" was hailed and her two doctors came aboard to render medical aid to the captain. They announced the case as pneumonia and advised that Captain MCCLELLAND be removed to the "Resolute" and returned to England under their care. Thinking he could reach New York and there receive attention, the captain declined the doctor's offer. His condition became worse and he died at sea only a few hours from New York. His body was brought to New York, and after consultations with his family and in accordance with the traditions of British sea captains, he was buried at sea as near as possible to the spot where he died.
