RECORD BREAKING TIME
Made BY Torpedo Boat Lawrence
Which viii Arrive Here in
Few Days.

Following are some interesting
facts concerning the gunboat Nash
willie and torpedo boat Lawrence
which are on their way 10 St Louis
and will stop at Cairo for a day or
two:
The Lawrence has a crew of sey-
enty-four men. the Nashville 400 The
Lawrence IL one Of the fastest craft

anuue station in the Gulf of Mexico
to New Orleans. a distance Of 100
miles in four hours and a half. break
inc all records. She is able to make
thirty knots an hour, and managed
twenty knots against the mighty cur
rent OF the Mississippi, now swollen
by food.
The vessels have left New Orleans
and are now slowly coming up the
Mississippi en- route to ST Louis. The
Lawrence could easily make the run
in three days but win take longer
not running by night and stopping at
various points.
Only the Nashville will receive Wis.
itors during the stay Of the boats
here as the Lawrence can accom-
modate only q few persons, being all
