to ind on his daily round is the rapids
pilots Office near the Seventeenth street

Messrs. Wash. Height, Doss. Holsapple,

pose the pilots pool" spend their
spare time waiting for the many rafters
which these gentlemen have so often
guided safely over the rapids.
The interior of the Office is lastly fur
nlshed in such manner as makes it g
very pleasant place TO while sway their
leisure hours, and here the visitor can
hear described the remarkable performs
snces of some of the old time boats on
the Mississippi. The outside of the Office
is decorated With two large signs which
read, Rapids Pilots Office" designat-

that here a skillful navigator of the rap

few places that the scribe takes more
