OF the run had to be made through a
hostile country.
On her way up the Roanoke reached
the buffalo country about June 1, and
for 700 miles the buffalo were con-
stantly in sight. The animals were juss
coming from the south and were cross
ing the Missouri by millions. In places,
Capt. Duvall says he could see a plain
five or six miles square black with
them. The thought never crossed his
mind that they could be exterminated
In u few years. Sometimes there
would be such a mass of the animals
swimming across the river that the
passage Of the Roanoke would be
blocked and she would have 20 stand
to. 1t was Oh such occasions that ev'
cry man on the boat, a hundred or
more, would shoot into the herd. 1t
was done for simple slaughter. Thou
sands Of buffaloes persisted in the
quicksands on the banks of the river.
When they would emerge from the
water they would Immediately sink
into the quicksands and go out of sight,
others coming on top of them.
The rate charged on freight from st.
Louis to Benton at that time was 10
cents a pound or 5000 a ton. The
Roanoke carried 800 tons, which at
that rate would mean a freight bill Of
$160,0O0. Yet the owners of the boat
made little or no money, SO great was
the expense of the trip. Because of
low water the steamer was compelled
to land ninety miles below Fort Ben
ton, discharge her cargo and send it
up by wagons overland. Duvall and
Bixby brought the Roanoke safely
back to st. Louis in the fall of '65, but
they never again went up the Missouri
to the head of her navigable waters;
the risk and worry were too great.
Capt. Bixby is yet a pilot, hale and
hearty at the age of 10, and is now
on e government snag boat somewhere
on the Mississippi.

Capt. William R. Duvall, once a pilot
on the Mississippi and Missouri Riv-
ers, has been visiting relatives in War
r%ensburg, Mo-, says the Kansas City
Star, for some time. For many years
he lived in st. Louis. Since his retire

Warrensburg, and is always noticeable
for his scrupulously correct attire; his
habit of good dressing. learned in the
old days when river pilots drew large
salaries and were the handles of the
country, has never deserted him.
Capt. Duvall was a pilot on the larg-
est steamboat used as a government
transport to carry Grants army to
Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee
River before the battle of Shiloh In
1862. He saw Grants boat come I'D
the river Sunday morning, April 6; saw
him land, mount his horse and ride

A Rather Pathetic Discussion of the

In no country is there among the
poorest and least educated a greater
love of poetry than in Ireland; no.
where are the poets of the people held
longer or more ~fervently in remem-
brance. Lady Gregory tells a charac-
teristic anecdote of a discussion which
she heard between two of the aged,
toil-worn, poverty stricken inmates of
Gort Workhouse concerning the rival
merits of two peasant bards of sixty
years ago-Raftery and Callinan.
The partizan of C~allinan declared
that he had been a more respectable
kind of man, owning a little farm of
his own and his own cattle; moreover,
that he had more settled and respecta-
Bile ways; also, that he was more good
natured, and did not lash his neighbors
with satire; finally, that he was a bet
ter poet, anyway, and that Raftery,
the blind, wandering rimester, admit
ted it by avoiding any encounter with
him, and once wept with chagrin when
some satiric verses on his rival were
answered to overwhelming effect by
the rivals brother, also a poet
