TALK OF THE RIVER TRIP.
stories Told BY People Who Went on the
Morton's Excursion.


The good ship Mary Morton
brought her big excursion with
which she went to Clinton Saturday
safely back in the evening, but &C.
cording to the stories Of many on board
the boat was disabled most of the
way down and this occasioned con-
siderable anxiety. The ..doctor" was
out Of order and the passengers con.
sidered this bad omen. The old time
packet Hoated considerable of the
distance over the rapids and after
landing at Davenport found it re-
quired considerable energy to get
safely into port Mt Rock Island. A
stiff wind was blowing toward the
shore. and fearing that to land at the
dock might result disastrously to it.
Capt. McCaffrey picked out little
harbor near the c.. b. Il Q. depot at
the foot Of Sixteenth and put into it..
A deck hand swan to the shore with
the line and made the boat fast,
when the passengers were taken off.
all heartily glad to be on terra firma
again.
While the management Of the ex-
cursion stopped selling tickets at
Davenport before departure. there
were too many on the boat for comfort
or absolute safety. although she was
not loaded to her carrying capacity.
A barge should have been taken
along. however, as q precaution.
Nevertheless people who 60 on a
crowded excursion should under
stand that they take their chances.
