want to go last night, bat the Alaska and
Alice Dean wanted her to. The latter
were right. THIS is probably the last trip
of the Silver Spray In the New Orleans |
and Cincinnati Packet Company. The
fast boats of the New Orleans trade have
been together heretofore, and the slow
boats have been together. This has made |
the whole machinery work badly. Some
times outside boats have been taken in to
MI up gaps.
IA Portsmouth and Big Sandy wharf
boat was in a bad fix yesterday. The river |
rose so rapidly that a lot OF scrap iron,
including a couple of huge boilers, were
submerged between the whariboat and the |
shore. Unless these could be removed the
staging of the wharfboat could not touch
dry land. Men, horses and wagons were
employed to clear the way, but all to no
purpose, by the time the Fleetwood ar
lived. She therefore landed at the wharf
boat below.
