Hat boatman who was extensively known
along the Ohio and Mississippi for his pro-
pensity to coniscation for himself or for
the use of his boat, all the edible articles

mouth agape, sought refuge under the bed.
Bill saw the family quietly breakfasting,
but his courage and presence of mind did
not forsake him. Rushing into the house,
he drew the unfortunate bird from his hid

neck as he rose to his feet, exclaimed.
There I'll learn ye to fly off the boat !'
