Notes, work in progress
McNair, CIM
- McNair, Malcolm
- Born 1860 or 1861
- Sailed for China with the CIM on the SS Massilia on Thursday 1 Nov 1888; accompanied by 3 other recruits. Arrived 15 December 1888 (China's Millions, "CM"), though the "register" shows 1 December 1888.
- 1889, left along with the Sha-si and Shih-sheo stations by the departure of Thomas James to Sichuan, the Gulstons (Frederick and Mary) having already left for Hankow. Reported in CM in August 1889.
- Returned, possibly to a posting in Glasgow, in the later part of 1891; this is apparent as the station listing state that Sha-si and Shih-sheo stations were left empty at that time (see personal file Malcolm-McNair_Hunan-Province_Nov1888-to-1891(2).tif).

A second reference "Key to Australian Steamship and Motor Vessel Illustrations" "Information held in the Sydney Heritage Fleet Records and Research Centre" gives the tonnage as 5026 but agrees on the year of construction.
