THE STEAMER SHEBOYGAN.

| On Friday last we paid visit to this
new craft about which so much has been
related. We found her ali and more than
we had been led to expect, and we would
say to all who hare not seen her, do so at
the first opportunity. We gave an excel
lent description of her last week, taken
from the Milwaukee Sentinel, but this
steamer. like all beautiful things, must
be seen to be appreciated. We are in
debted to her officers for their courtesy in
showing US all over the boat; that they
are gentlemen well worthy of the floating
palace over which they preside isa well
established fact. Captain Stannard is
not as yet very well known on this shore
but the short time he has been here has
given him hosts of friends. When we
state however, that he bears the recon-
mendatlons ofsuch men as Capt. Kirkland
the people of this locality will be ready
to take any amount of stock in him. But
there is Mike Crosson his first mate; who
n the world dom know Mike? IF any
such there be, let them go onto the pier
whenever the .MeJoygaa is in, pick out
the busiest man they can find and if he
talks as though he could eat up half a
dozen deck hands and still have good
appetite for breakfast, they may rest as
sured they have found their man. There
has never been mate on this shore that
could attend to his duties more promptly
than this same Mike Crosson The Clerk
Mr. G. G. Thompson, is we'll known here
to all who ride on steamboats,, and it is
almost unnecessary for us to speak of him,
but as mankind never tires of praising a
good thing so we can speak Of Mr.. T.
in the highest terms without being tho t
guilty of hattery. He is the senior clerk
in MIR. Goodrich s employ, and enjoys that
gentleman S confidence to the fullest ex-
tent. He has a sweet voice and his man
ner is so prepossessing that we were very
much surprised to learn that he is still
unmarried; that he deserves an excellent
wife we are quite positive, for his skill in
taking care of those who entrust them
selves to his care for voyage on the lake
is ample evidence that he could do the
fair thing by the gentler portion of the
community. We think this locality for
tunate indeed that MI. T. is on this
route. But probably the most important
man on steamboat IS the Steward he
certainly is at meal time, unless the lake
is rough. Of these there have been
many, in times past, who have run to
this place, but there never was one, we
think, quite so popular as Mr.. Drlscoll.
The Sheboygdn will shine like new dol
lar under his care. His watchful eye will
note the wants Of passengers and his
ready hand supply those wants about as
soon as felt. With gratitude we cherish
the remembrance Of numberless acts of
his which have done much to make the
trip on the steamer pleasant and enjoy
able It's said he can make the best
cup of tea of any man this side Of the
celestial empire. He has a cook-Mr.
Morrison-who knows his business, and
is, withal, character. He says when he
sends up bill it is at first always laid
on the table, but afterwards taken up
and unanimously adopted The First
Engineer, Mr. Elliott, took pains to show
us the excellent engine under his charge
| but we know very little of this part of a
steamboat, however taking into consider
alton the time made by the SheboVgan
we are led to the conclusion that this en-
CINE is good one and is under the control
of man who knows how to manage it.
With twenty pounds of steam she ran
from Two Rivers TO this place last Friday
in twenty minutes. MIR. Elliot is of the
opinion that fifteen miles per hour can be
made without crowding at all. We have
hastily sketched the officers Of this boat,
now one word about her owner. Capt.
Goodrich in providing for this route tive
such magnificent steamers as the Manito-
aooc and She5oygan is entitled to the
gratitude Of every citizen of this locality.
! OF course there are those who would
complain if he would carry them for
nothing and give them their meals, but
all reasonable men Will not fail to give
credit when credit is due, and one has only
to examine these steamers to be convinced
of their great value to this locality.
