One of the most popular steam
boatmen on the Lower Mississippi,
as well as one of the most careful
safest and most experienced one in
the business is Captain Tommy
Waldron," of the high-headed
steamer Concordia, plying between
Natchez and Vicksbhrg, and one
with whom it is always pleasure
to travel. Capt. Tommy" is a
great favorite with the ladies in the
trade who travel, and they say they
always feel perfectly safe in bis
charge, and well they should be,
as he would go to any extreme 10
save them danger or discomfort.
Beneath an apparently rough ex-
terror, Captain Tommy" has a
heart as tender as that of a woman,
though he is exceedingly bashful,
and even the children always con-
slider it a treat to travel on the Con-
cordia, or, in fact, any other steam
er of which he might be in CON-
mand. He has been in this trade
for the past twenty seven years, and
no skipper" enjoys the esteem and
confidence to a greater extent than
he. He has just returned from q
visit to his reatives up North, and
looks greatly improved by his briel
respite and vacation from the hur-
ricane roof of his gallant little craft,
Long may Captain Tommy" wave,
and be always as successful in the
future as in the past.
