Travellers between Providence and New
port, Rhode Island, complain of misconduct
on the part of Captain Woolscy, of the
steamboat "perry," causing an unjust de-
tenlon on recent trip. The high respect.
ability of the protesting party, Henry Paul
Beck, Esq, of Philadelphia, leaves no
doubt OF the justice of the complaint.
We copy the above paragraph from the
last number of the Home Journal. where
we presume it was inserted by request. 1t
probably alludes to Carl which waas pub
lished in this paper some days ago, com
planning tLat the Perry had been detained
in towing or attempting to tow a ship. We
did not allude TO the matter at the time, be-
cause we did not deem ii of sufficient i'm
portance; but since an effort has been made
to iniure the Perry, in New York paper
without stating any OF the circumstances,
we feel i, to be our duty to comment briefly
on the subject.
On the day alluded to, the Perry attempt.
ed to tow a ship short distance down the
river. which caused her some detention; Il
gentleman complained to Capt. Woolsey,
and demonstrated against the towing. He
subsequently drew upa paper which he
signed and solicited tho signatures of the
other passengers, about 10 in number on
" two others were found who would sign
the card. These we believe ap the facts
1t is part Of the Perry's business, par.
tcularly in winter, to take vessels in tow;
aud she some times does it a. other season
where the detention will not be long, and
the distance is not great. We certainly
can see no cause for complaint in this mat
ter against Capt. Woolsey. In travelling
we cannot all have our way, or arrange
things precisely TO suit Us and il is much
better to meet any little Inconvenience with
a philosophical spirit, than to make nois,
about it.
