at. ”

_ 1 came from Glasgow,
‘Scotland to ‘North Vancouver

in October 1910. The firm of °

McKie and Baxter, Glasgow,

~ built the empines for the No.3
Ferry and, as I was leading |

hand at’ the. fitting and
. assembly there, they invited

me to go to North Vancouver |

- and assisi at their erection in

the No.3 Ferry, which was

being built in Wallace’ Ss
shipyard.

As I had some. consider-
able. experience with the
accurate. placing of the two
propellor ‘shafts and. the
thrust blocks, I was given
this as my first job. We were
a cheery; friendly group of

mechanics and helpers under -

the able management of Mr.
McFarlane, the. contractor.

Ihave several. photographs.

of the ship on the ways, and
one of the cold winter (2°
~ below zero:F.) with the snow
- covering everything wheri we.

were sent home as none of us.
could hold our tools. These

photos. are now with the
Maritime. Museum in. ‘Van-
couver.
