Sometime during the night Mr.. Muhleman,
the Waterman at Mercers wharf boat,
which lies Immediately above the ferry
landing, rose to make q change in his
lines, and to his great surprise could see
nothing, in the moonlight, OF the ferry
boat, which he knew had been tied up
there at the landing as usual the evening
before, After making sure that the ferry
boat was indeed gone, he went up to the
home OF Mr.. Bear, who runs the ferry,
and informed him OF his discovery. Mr..
Bear at once got some men TO accompany
him and started down the river to see II
the boat could be oyertaken. The lines
that had tied the boat were unbroken, and
the skif tied beside the landing was gone.
The watchman out on the B. & o. bridge
saw the boat pass under him.. and with
four men on It. The Buckeye State came
up in the morning, and reported having
seen the ferry boat down near Sunfish.
