To the Editor of the Commercial
sARAssA. Ark. May IL zee the insurance
companies have raised the rate of insurance, on
account of the many accidents ,hst have occurred
on the Arkansas. ! can say in regard to the
Fannie Moore, the thing was done for the want
of Judgment on the part of Lyle, as the people
on shore said the boat would eink before
ever he rung the backing bell. / told him
not ten minutes before that there was q ter
rible current in the river, and to round the
boat out to the bar, and | sat down on q
alarm bell raised up, and the boat was swing
ing to shore very fast, ann | said to Lyle: ''She
will never back up. she is gone" This was three
or four hundred yards above the regular landing,
and contrary to order. As I'll. Stone was in the
pilot-house when l told him to round out, by
which lost the whole boat, and as Boutwell, told
us in Washington, by the negligence Of licensed
officer he was responsible Ii able, now think the
government should be responsible for its agents,
and pay for the Fannie Moore, as the boat was
sunk unjustly, as there was no reason for the act
AZ the place it occurred. l have all the ma
chinery out but the boilers.
