        CAPT. EBER WARD, one of the most widely known
     vessel agents, died at Detroit recently at the
     advanced age of 84 years. CAPT. WARD began steam-
     boating in 1843 as clerk on the steamer Huron.
     Four years later he purchased the Huron and shortly
     thereafter built the Franklin Moore. He was a mem-
     ber of a family which for many years dominated
     the commerce of the lakes. It was his boast that
     he established the first line of steamers to ply
     between Detroit and Lake Superior. In this line
     were the steamer Keweenaw, Craig, Fremont, Coburn
     and St. Paul. Appropriate resolutions concerning
     his life work were adopted by the vesselmen of
     Detroit.
