Peytona took a. round lot Of freight
here, and, taking up her third barge
left at 1870 for freight piles below.
....,....The Norman transferred most
of her freight to the Armada, and the
latter was receiving literally. A free
examination Of the boilers of the Nor
man showed but trifing defect. 1t
looks as if the fange of the fiue had
been cracked in bending, and the
flaw had been hammered together,
rendering it water tight and uE3bserv-
able. Time and expansion had in
creased the flaw until it had COM
menced to leak, and though itimight
have held safely for year yet, Capt.
Hewitt and Col May manifest COM
mendable prudence and creditable
regard for the safety Of her passengers
and crew in abandoning the trip till
the defect is repaired. A few hours
work will make everything right.
