           [243]

              CAPTAIN ANGUS McGREGOR is the son JOHN and ANN (IRKARD)
           McGREGOR, natives  of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, who
           died in 1887 and 1859, respectively.
              JOHN McGREGOR, the father, was a fisherman and a ship-
           builder, and upon his boats the subject of this sketch
           learned the rudiments of the sailor's life.
              Our subject was born December 31, 1835, in East Port,
           Maine, and lived in that place until he was about ten years
           of age, when he went to Sidney, N. S., where he received an
           education from private instructors, not having the advantage
           of public schools as in his native place.
              When his father built the brig Lady Young, he sailed her
           ten years along the coast between Newfoundland and West
           Indies, and lost her on Sable island. He went to Toronto at
           this time and spent three years on the Merchant Miller. Since
           that time he has acted as mate of the Typho, Ithaska, Cornan,
           Ellsworth, Cream City, and schooner Twin Sisters.
              CAPTAIN McGREGOR was married to MISS MARIA DAVIS, and in
           1865, with her, he visited Russia, England, India, Australia
           and New Zealand, going on the ship Norman, which was in com-
           mand of CAPT. KENNETH IRKARD, uncle of MR. McGREGOR.
