Captain R. ". L%ightburne, agent
of the Memphis and Cincinnati
Packet Company, received a tele-
gram from Cairo this morning
stating that the Vint Shinkle, Cap.
tain Kenneston in command, would
arrive here tonight, unload and
leave positively tomorrow evening
at 6 o'clock for Cairo, Louisville
and Cincinnati. Captain Light
burne will receive freight for her at
the foot of Court street.
Captain j. j. Darragh is fitting
up the Keystone as a wrecking
boat. She will be furnished with
large pumps, hosting apparatus,
armors for divers, and with ma
chinery equal to the Eckert, capa-
BILE OF raising a steamboat on short
notice. She will be owned and
controlled by the Memphis Wreck
ing Company, and will always be
ready for duty at a moments no.
tice. She is a staunch boat, and
will be prepared to do towing or
jobbing at all times at reasonable
rates. Captain Darragh has spared
no pains or expense in rebuilding
and making her as good as a new
boat. All BUSINESS entrusted to
him will meet with prompt atten-
ton. He is deserving of great
praise for furnishing this harbor or
district with a wrecking boat. The
river interests have long felt the
need of such a steamer, as many
Sunken boats could have been saved
had there been a wrecker in these
waters.
