THE BLACKBALL FERRY.
(To the Editor) Sir,—l notice a letter in the Stab of 26th inst re the Blackball ferry in reply to a letter of Dr Millington, wherin the ferryman describes himself as a model ferryman. Well Sir, if such is the case it must have come about very suddenly. There ia scarcely a resident of Blackball but has a cause of complaint against the ferry and the way it is conducted. This might hava been a case of life or death for all the ferryman knew. The Doctor is not the first person who has stood for hours at a time hailing the ferry without success. The aforesaid ferry has a very unsavory reputation right here. I happen to know the Doctor personally, and my experience of him is that he is the essence of a gentleman, and one tint i« not in the habit of rushing into print on any frivolous pretext. I also know the gentleman in charge of the ferry.—Yours etc., Binbad.
