        CAPT. DANIEL FLOOD is a native of Canada, and was born January 1,
     1825.  He began sailing in 1845, on the scow Antelope.  He helped to
     take the first mill-engine up on Lake Huron shore in 1846, and took
     the first load of lumber that was shipped out of Alpena some twenty-
     four years ago, and has been running for the same man ever since, Mr.
     J. S. MINOR, mill-owner.  He sailed four years before the mast, then
     went as mate, sailing master of the Emeline and other vessels until
     1855, then sailed master of the schooner Meredian.  He bought and
     sailed several vessels, and in 1860 bought the schooner Seaman, and
     has owned and sailed her for the past twenty-two years - a longer time
     than any captain from any port on the river has owned and sailed one
     vessel continuously.  He came to Cottrellville, in this county, in
     1846.  CAPT. FLOOD married Miss ELIZA JANE HARRINGTON, a native of New
     York State, March 3, 1859.  They have two children, ELLEN, now Mrs.
     CLARK, of Ohio; EDITH, now Mrs. GEORGE L. THOMPSON.
