The Lille Steamer st. F,ancis.-in liquidation
Of debt which we owe 10 the friendly and polite
officers Of this fine boat, and in sheer justice 10 her
merits, we embrace the first opportunity Of offer
ing, after our trip up the river her, to enter
record of our opinion and knowledge Of her fine
qualities.
She draws only nine inches when light, and but
little over that when ladened-runs well, Is new,
substantial, and safe for freight and passengers.
The officers and crew are polite and accommodat-
ing, who do all in their power to render the stua-
ton of the passengers agreeable. The steward IS
polite and attentive when about. is pretty good
caterer. and keeps fair table; but his assistants
want little stirring up-they show too much in
difference to the comfort of passengers. and are
rather too familiar in their department towards
them. This evil among the assistant stewards can
be easily corrected, and will be, we believe, when
the Captain sees the importance of it, which of
course is great draw. back to the boat.
This is speaking in candor and fairness; and
with all, we can recommend the 81. Francis TO
travellers and shippers on the Arkansas river.
