Grand Manan (Charlotte Co.) Jan. 23 - Capt. Daniel McLAUGHLIN, who died at North Head, 13th inst., in his 73rd year, was one of the best known shipmasters in the service of the U.S. Mercantile Marine. He was born at Lower Granville, N.S. in 1823 and came to Grand Manan with his parents in 1829. He was engaged in the fisheries until the summer of 1845, when master of the schr. "Olivebranch", he freighted and loaded the stone and other material for the construction of the stone wall that surrounded the base of the tower of the Granite Rock light. The same year he was the mate of the brigt. "Wanderer", Capt. Henry Benson, built and owned at Seal Cove. He went to Eastport, Me., became naturalized, married there, and commanded the full-rigged brig "Stephen G. Bass" and in 1859 took command of the fine ship "Greyfeather", made the voyage to San Francisco, from that port to India, thence to England and back to New York, thusmaking the voyage around the globe. He then commanded the largest and finest ship that ever came off the stocks in Eastport, the "A. Etas" and continued to command until the "A. Etas" was sold in England. He then went into the ship-chandler business in London, England with Mr. Ewing of New Orleans and remained until the beginning ofn the Southern Rebellion, when the partnership was dissolved, his partner being a strong Seccessionist and the captain an equally strong and patriotic Northerner. Returning to America he commanded the clipper ship "Swallow" in which he visited the port of St. John. She was engaged as a transport ship by the Nova Scotia government and with Butler's forces followed Admiral Farragut to New Orleans. He afterwards commanded the ship "Western Empire" and the "Glory of the Sea", the latter being the last ship he ever made a voyage in, going out to San Francisco, Cal. and buying a fine grape ranch or vineyard in Olearider?, Fresno Co., Cal.

In 1892 he came back to the Island, purchased a nice little cottage at North Head and settled down to enjoy life among old associations. He built a small sail yacht "the Tramp" in which he visited the scenes of his early childhood in Lower Granville, N.S. and also called at St. John on his way home. He leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters. He has two brothers living, W.B.
