Letters
10.7.1899 …caution your boatman Miller of the steamer JASON to be more careful in working through my Company’s tunnels at Blisworth and Braunston and make less smoke in passing through. I have complaints from our Blisworth tug as to the number of times your men stoke up whilst in the tunnel and the foul state of the tunnel when they come out. Millner/C Nelson
19.5.1911 I have to make a report about one Mr Faulkners Steamers the JASON coming from the north end of tunnel meeting the tug at the 5 oclock turn from the south end and never blew the Whistle till we just hit them and put them on the right side as they was nearley right on our side I think thare steamers Mr Faulkners ought to be made to use different coal than they do for our tunnel as it is not fie for any one to go through after them it is not safe to meet them in here if you cannot see them for they are verey often on the wrong side they are the worse lot working them as I ever saw I had just looked out and I saw a little light as I thought and I reversed the Engine as soon possible or else I quite think it would have very likely sunk him we must have a better way working and less smoke or else we shall be having some accident in here if someone is not scalded by bursting some of the steam joints when they hit the tug. F Warren/Millner (all sic)
30.5.1911 In reply to yours re complaint of driver of Steamer JASON. The same men are working two of them which have done so for years I think your man must be a little bit prejudiced in some way. I will ask the driver not to fire up when going through the tunnels. I presume the same men and boats used to go through your tunnels when working for Messrs Jees’. If I have any trouble I shall return them. They are only on trial for a period. L Faulkner/Millner
