Premier Macdonald fails to visit Campobello amid bad weather

St Andrews New Brunswick August 14 Sir John A Macdonald and Lady Tilley planned a Campobello visit but repeated postponements due to rain and rough seas thwarted the trip. The Escort failed at Clam Cove Head and the Emmet could not reach the island. The premier aged 70 to 80 declined a Sunday voyage citing weather and safety. The event drew local humor and newspaper witticisms about the rain and a long reign.
