Shannah Sue will give you the arrival details but it sounds like Clara is talking about Captain William H. Smith of the Allan Liner Parisian. The "immediatie" that you have should be "intermediate" what we would call second class but higher up than steerage (third class). The Grand Trunk was the railway at the time, later to be taken over by the Canadian National. Canadian Pacific was incorporated in 1881. Regards..
