burg, Penn, on the Ohio river, and at
about the time the delivery was to be
made none of the towboats appear to
have been available, the river being very
low, owing to a long drought. and other
transportation facilities were not to be
had 1t was, however, decided by Smith
&c Porter that the engine should be de-
livered at the specified time. Mr.. Smith
obtained a suitable fiatboat and placed
the machine aboard and with the help
Of several men the locomotive was ar
ranged to propel the boat. The main
driving wheels were at the rear, and the
side rods extended forward, as In many
of our modern Az engines. The front
ends of the side rods were uncoupled and
the rods thrown back so that they ex-
