year 1922 there was a steamboat called the
Gen. Melville, and Sam Wolfe was the en-
gineer. She left Pittsburg for st. Louis,
where she put in bed. plates under her cylin-
der, the invention of her engineer. The boats
all had the cylinder lugs let into the eyliu-
der timbers previous to this time. She left
Council Bluff. then a United States parri-
SOD, her load being stores for the government
troops. They said she was a f~our-boiler boat,
with q 24-inch cylinder (4-foot stroke), with
q slide valve about the size of a forecastle
hatch. She only ran in The daytime, and
cleaned out the boilers every night. she
made the trip il SO days, being one day less
than her allotted time, for Which the govern
ment paid her to promote commerce. If an
old steambostman knows anything about
this boat, tell us."
