A WONDERFUL BOAT
The Woodruff on Her Way to
Paducah Now.
She Has Been in the Service Thirty
Years and Still Looks
New.
HAS MACHINERY OF ALL KINDS

The government snagboat Il. A..
Woodruff is due at Paducab shortly
for the first time in many months.
The Woodruff is very peculiar in ap.
pearance at the first glance, looking
like boat composer of two sharp
proved hulls. The fore part is COW
cred with derricks and tackle for the
lifting OF heavy weights, while the
rear part is fixed up with boiler deck
on which the men can sit.
The duty of the boat is to make
periodical trips from Pittsburg TO Pa
ducah to remove snags and other OBJ
structions from the bottom of the
stream during low stage. The
Woodruff has been thus employed for
thirty years, although by the looks OF
the boat one would imagine her 30 be
a new one Just off the docks.
During her long career there has
been only one man in charge of her,
who is Captain W. II. Christian The
crew is varied with the condition of
the river.
The steamer is 200 feet long and &c
feet wide, but the most wonderful
part of the boat are the two strong
steel bulls that shoot forward and
stretch for 60 feet in front OF the
boilers On these bows are two large
spar derricks aud II frame known to
the crew rs shearers. On the extreme
point of the bow, one point resting on
each of the twin bows, is another
huge "a" frame. This one is known
as the wrecking hook and is used IN
raising parts Of sunken crafts from the
bottom Of the river.
The machinery of the great boat is
naturally wonderful in its construo-
ton. There are engines OF various
kinds Ecattered over the boat, each
having its peculiar function TO PER
form ia the good work of keeping the
Ohio free from snags and obstruotiols
to navigation. The rest of the para
phernalia is correspondingly wonder
ful in its mai cup. There are ropes
md chains of every dimension and
tools OF every description with which
she men perform their work This
boat is now en- her way down 10 Ia
iucah.
