My recollection is not so good as it was. but was not one of Cnlptain Head's points against the Patriot, thefact that he and his crew were not remunerated sufficiently for running a second or additional trips? Has this grievance been rt» niedled?

IMy suggestion for the second Car Ferry to run between Char- lettetown and Pictou in the slim- mer and fall months is met by Captain Read with the suggestion that a less expensive steamer could and should be run on that rotlic.
