Millner Letters

22.4.1915 I was at Cosgrove Lock yesterday morning about 12.30 when Mr L B Faulkner’s steamer JUPITER steerer J Proctor and butty, both empty, came into the lock going north. The steerer’s wife opened the inside bottom gate, leaving the offside gate closed, when the steamer knocked this gate open, ran into the lock and then knocked the top offside gate open some 18” with the weight of water against it. Luckily no damage was done as far as one could see, but the blows were severe. Proctor states the engine stopped dead centre, which was no doubt correct, but he made no attempt to get it off or use a strap, if he had one. I am reporting this case not because I consider he should be proceeded against, but I do think his employer should know about it. On speaking to him I only met with abuse and when asking him why he carried no fender he said “Ask Fellows Morton why they don’t put fenders on”. You no doubt know the man is a poor cripple and unfit to work of boats with only his wife to assist him Millner/Thomas
