Some people thought the wharf
boat would plunge into the water
all over. and come to the surface

lacked good deal of bring i'm

went only few feet into the riy-
or.

pected that the wharfIwaf wyul.L

The launching Of the wharfboat
took place on Tuesday. Quite u
large number of spectators were
present from kenova, Ceredo.
Catlettsburg, North Kenova and
other places. The preparations
for launching were completed
about eleven O'Clock. when the
props were knocked from under
and the boat started. Ii moved
but short distance, however,
for some reason not known To the
writer, and not anticipated by those
having the work in charge. Jack
screws and prizes were called into
requisition, and by dint of hard
work and determination, she
was started on her downward ca
reer about three o'clock. For an
instant after starting, the upper
end Of the boat moved more rapidly
than the lower end and IL looked "A
little tO an outsider az though she
might run off the track. But she
soon righted herself, and went
down in beautiful style, striking
the water broadside, and was soon
riding the waves fs though she
was perfectly familiar with tho
watery element. Except for ihe
delay, which was not worry serious
matter, the launching was per-
feet success. The work Of con-
structing the cabin and getting the
boat ready for use will be shortly
commenced, and when il il com
pleted II will l,e 0Ba of the b.4t
wharfboats on the Ohio river.
