Pearl Royal Wallace
Paddle-steamer skipper

A CAPTAIN'S cap lay among the flowers on the casket, which was draped with the flag of the Murray River, in St Thomas' Church in the Adelaide Hills, recently as 10 Murray River skippers formed an honour guard for a true pioneer - Pearl Wallace, who died in Adelaide, aged 94.
