Mr. Robert Watson Mcintosh who has been manager of the Oteramika sawmill since 1903, was born in 1863, in Roxburghshire, Scotland, where he was educated, and served a short time in a blacksmith's shop. At the end of 1876, he landed at the Bluff from the ship “Adamant,” was employed for some time at the woodware factory, and for six years subsequently worked at Tisbury. Mr Mcintosh holds a first class certificate as a locomotive engine-driver, a first-class certificate as a stationary engine-driver, and a second-class certificate as a driver of a traction engine. He was married, in 1890, to Miss Knight, of Edinburgh, and has one daughter and three sons.
