rived at 5: As p m. She reports con-
siderable detention above Memphis
from shoal water, and q dense fog,
compelling her to lay up 6 hours and

deducting the 6 hours the Natchez
lost by laying up in the fog, and the
30 minutes lost in repairing pump
below Helena, that his boat would
beat the Lee 20 minutes. Banquets
will be given at st. Louis tonight to
both Captains at the Southern Hotel.
