Steamer Oriole

            The steam launch Oriole, of Vancouver, belonging to Messrs. Rumbow and Bullen, arrived at Brooklyn on Sunday evening at 8 p.m., having left Halcyon Springs in the morning.  The Oriole is a smart little craft and will be a great acquisition and convenience to Brooklyn people.  The Oriole will make daily trips between Brooklyn and Robson calling at intermediate camps, leaving Brooklyn at 9 a.m. and returning from Robson at 1 p.m.  There will be an excursion Saturday evening and hourly on Sundays to Dog creek and other places of interest in the vicinity of Brooklyn.  The Oriole can also be hired for pleasure parties.  The launch is in charge of Mr. David Roberts, formerly engineer of the “Comox” of Vancouver.  The steamer will be tastily decorated with Chinese lanterns, and while en route, a gramophone will amuse with popular airs.
