Fue a la Patagonia con los señores Halliday y Rudd en el año 1884 y trabajó algunos años en sociedad con ellos en "Hill Station".
Si poco tiempo residió en el territorio, su influencia no dejó de pesar en el ánimo de los pobladores que en ese entonces iniciaban sus actividades, pues a una gran autoridad unía conocimientos profundos sobre la industria que aquellos desarrollaban y una gran práctica de las tareas rurales.
El señor Mac Call en 1890 partió de regreso para las Malvinas y en 1901 falleció en Punta Arenas.
