Millner/Thomas
1.2.1915 At 6.45 am on 29th January steamer
PRINCE Captain Edwards ran into the
inside bottom lock gate and broke the balance beam near the
breast.. The accident occurred owing to
the steamer not answering quickly enough when the engine was reversed and as no
strap was used the gates had to stand the blow.
The balance was a pitch pine one and new in 1906. We can repair to last a few months longer.

not dated Dear Mr Millner, On arriving at Cosgrove I found that
steamers QUEEN & VANGUARD had followed the iceboat and were prepared to go
on tomorrow, so gave instructions for your Cosgrave boat to make an early start
for Fenny and wait there for orders.
Steamer VICEROY and butty had left for
Blisworth so get them through to Braunston if possible and then stop. We arrived home at 4.25 having had a good run
though on the cold side. Gordon Thomas
