leaving the wharf about hRif-past six.

Her engines worked splendIdly, and her
boiler gels up steam quicker than that Of
any boat on the river. The safety.yalve
was locked at ninety pounds, SO that no
trial speed could be made, but good
judges say that she will make ten miles
an hour up stream. She will be inspect
