Reynolds, one of the keenest steam
boatmen who ever turned a wheel,
was badgered and annoyed for several
years before his death by this phan-

packet that should make almost rail-
road time, draw so little water that it
could run anywhere between banks
and be so magnificent that people
would throng the 'evees for chance
to ride. Deny it as often rs he pleased
and he generally denied it several
times day every season-'Diamond
joe never succeeded in putting this
rumor to sleep.

has ever shown. The snagboat kept
