A. D. McCardell, of this place, and brother of the senior editor of the Leader, believes that he is the oldest boatman now following the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. He made his first trip on the flour boat Benjamin Franklin, with David Hoover, captain, Theodore Embrey, bowsman, his brother, Charles, towboy and himself steward and cook or “slush,” just as the captain was in humor to term him, and while away from home on this memorable voyage the editor was born.
