The following verse was read in tribute to Mr. Wallace:
‘A few who have watched me sail away
Will miss my craft from the busy day;
Some friendly barks that were anchored near,
In silent sorrow will drop a tear,
But I shall have sheltered from storm and gale,
And be greeting the friends who have sailed beore
O’er the unknown sea to the unknown shore.’ Lizzie Hardy Clark, author.”
