An 'aftfcTe. updji tho eailyhistoiy of navi¬ gation in Lake Superior, taken froip the Ma¬ im*}: Rkcoku, of Clovo'and, and copied by the News of Juno 21st, gave lise to a ralhei odd incident. Among tho list of disasters there recorded was the loss of the si hooner Merchant In 1847, ulth seveial passengers and a large crew. Mr. William Galloway, of this placo, In reading over the names of tho latter, camo across two, James Ci timer and James Clafk, of Port Saruin, Out. The names i eemed quite familiar and he recol¬ lected that In his early .boyhood In one of tho country villages of Canada two men of tlioso names had very uijsterloiifh disappeared. They had gone away In scaich of work and had never returned, and n hut had become of them bad never been learned One of them left a wife and linnlly The former llvcfl slnglo foi ten vears aftoi, until con¬ cluding that her husband was dead she had man led again, In a small country town the memory of such a mysterious disappearance lingers a long time, and even to tins date It was a mystery among snmo of the older folks what had become of these two men 1'he tlrst Intimation of their fate, Mr. Galloway says, will he received bv the inaiked copy of the News, which ho seflt to his former resi¬ dence. In this connection, Captain Spald lng, superintendent of the canal, gives some Interesting remtnisconco regarding tho loss of the Merchant, upon which lliese men sailed. It left Sault Ste.
