29.7.1907 We had one of Mr Clayton Naptha boats Cap name Smith laying up at the North end of the tunnel waiting to follow the tug in Tunnel at 8 oclock and their was one of Emanuel Smith wide boats there to and the two flag men was at the South end of Tunnel when we came in at 7 oclock to block the Tunnel but what I can understand the wide boat flagman name Jones went down to the top lock and their came two Fellows Mortons & Clayton Steamers up the COUNTESS and the SPEEDWELL and Jones told the Steamer men to go in the tunnel I ask him when we got out why he did not stop them and he said that he and the night man Inns told them to go. I ask Inns and he said that he never told them to go we heard them coming when we first started in so we went back they got out 8.15 oclock they must have come in Tunnel about 7.40 oclock F Warren/Millner

telegram yeaterday about our lost dog have you any
news of Peggy” Mabel Thomas/Millner
20.12.1912 I wired you yesterday also this morning re my white Maltese Terrier, which I have a strong suspicion was picked up by a passing steamer about 10.30 pm on Wednesday night.
Three steamers arrived almost simultaneously at Leighton Lock whilst I was walking round the garden; I was not at the lock when the first steamer passed, but the following one was the BARONESS and the last VICTORIA – SPEEDWELL. My dog ran in front of me and barked at the first steamer and I followed him down to the lock, but was not there in time to see the boat leave, neither could I find any trace of my dog.
It is a little white Maltese Terrier answering to the name of “Peggy” and I should like you, if you would, to make private enquiries respecting it at your end as far as Braunston. I will communicate with the Police in Birmingham. Gordon Thomas/Millner
13.10.1914 SPEEDWELL colliding with one of the Griffith boats in Braunston Tunnel - I enclose a report from our tug man Millner/FMC
28.5.1917 I am obliged for your wire and
letter of the 26th inst respecting
steamers DUKE, SPEEDWELL, MARQUIS – but none
have cleared the Buckby stoppage although I gave instructions for the locks to
remain open until 6am. The steamer COUNT
was probably the last steamer to clear the stoppage…
