Wilbur Miller, of 55 Centre Street, spent two years out- fitting the engine and conver- ting the old life boat in prepar- ation for the maiden voyage. Parts for the engine came from as far away as Napanee and Cobourg, Two members of the crew on Thursday 'after- noon were Ray Bell and Harry Allin, Who assisted Mr. Miller by obtaining parts and offer- ing technical advice thraugh- out the construction of the steamer. As it tooted and chugged toward the pier at the.Marina, the five hundred pound boiler sprang a leak whicb will require repairs before the next tri p can be attempted.
