While Thomas Edison was a newsboy on the train, a request came to him one day to go to the
office of E. B. Ward & Company, at that time the largest owners of steamboats on the Great Lakes. The
captain of their largest boat had died suddenly, and they wanted a message taken to another captain
who lived about fourteen miles from Ridgeway station on the railroad. This captain had retired, taken up
some lumber land, and had cleared part of it. Edison was offered $15 by Mr. Ward to go and fetch him,
but as it was a wild country and would be dark, Edison stood out for $25, so that he could get the
companionship of another lad. The terms were agreed to. Edison arrived at Ridgeway at 8.30 P.M.,
when it was raining and as dark as ink. Getting another boy with difficulty to volunteer, he launched out
on his errand in the pitch- black night.
