        [174]

              CAPTAIN GEORGE B. MALLORY was born in Springport, Mich., in
           1839, and during his infancy was taken by his parents to Shef-
           field, Ohio, where he acquired his education. His career as a
           sailor began in 1856, when he joined the crew of the scow Cousin
           Mary, on Lake Erie. In 1858 he had charge of the scow Fair Play,
           and gradually worked his way upward, becoming chief mate of the
           schooner Willington, owned by Alva Bradley, in whose service he
           remained four years.
              In 1862, CAPTAIN MALLORY built the scow Mona, engaging daily
           in the carpenter work himself, and when the bark was completed
           sailed on the lakes some time. Later he sold her, and then
           sailed the scow Lime Rock, after which he was connected with
           the schooners Sea Bird, Buckingham and Eliza Gerlach, sailing
           the last named for several seasons. In 1873 he was appointed
           master of the bark William Jones, owned by the firm of Redding-
           ton & Adams, of Cleveland, and remained in that position until
           the fall of 1879, with the exception of about two years when he
           had charge of the schooner Red Wing, at that time one of the
           largest vessels of its class on the lakes. In 1880 he began his
           service on steamers, joining the V. H. Ketcham, at that time one
           of the finest steamers on the lakes, the property of Adams &
           Delamater, of Cleveland, with which firm he was connected for
           seven years. The steamer was then sold to Pickands, Mather &
           Co., and Captain Mallory was retained in command until 1889, at
           which time he was transferred to the new steel steamers built to
           order for the Minnesota Steamship Company, and commanded several
           of them on their trial trips, while throughout one season he
           sailed the Masaba, owned by this company. In 1892 he went in the
           Mariposa, of the same company, at that time the largest steamer
           afloat on the lakes, and sailed that vessel continuously until
           1894, when he went in the new steamer Victory, of the Inter-
           Lake Company, of greater size than the Mariposa. In 1896 he was
           transferred to the steamer Maricopa, of the Minnesota Steamship
           Company, one of the 430-foot vessels, built in the most modern
           and improved methods of ship building and splendidly equipped.
           CAPTAIN MALLORY was senior captain or commander of the entire
           Minnesota fleet of vessels managed by the firm of Pickands,
           Mather & Co., of Cleveland, overseeing all the new boats and
           bringing them out.
              During his long and eventful career CAPTAIN MALLORY has had
           almost perfect immunity from casualties of any kind, and is
           therefore regarded as an invaluable employe by underwriting
           firms as well as vessel owners. His care is remarkable, and his
           judgment is sound and wise.
              In 1862 CAPTAIN MALLORY was married to Miss ANNA FARAGHER, a
           native of the Isle of Man, but residing at the time in Shef-
           field, Ohio. They have two children: DR. FRANK BURR and MARGARET
           E., the son being now a professor in the medical department of
           Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., and Miss MARGARET, a teacher
           in the Central High School of Cleveland. The family are members
           of DR. SPRECHER'S church and enjoy the hospitality of many of
           the best homes in Cleveland, their circle of friends being very
           extensive.
