TWO STEAMERS OF 1848;
YOU REMEMBER EITHER?

LOckpOIt, H., Oct. IS. To
Editor The Argus: Dear S.r-An
historical question has arisen in this
office recently in regard to the first
boa , which navigated the Illinois and
Michigan canal. Several people have
have asked what has become OF them.
The records, OF course, show what
these boats were and account for their
trips, but they do not show whether
the beats sank or burned or how
they went out of commission.
The boats were the General Fry
and the General Thornton In 184S
one OF them is reported to have
brought a cargo Of sugar from New
Orleans 10 Chicago. This was the
General Thornton. The General Fry
was the first boat 10 go through the
OF the canal commission recall that
the two boats were in operation in
1870, but no one seems to know what
became OF them after that date.
j thought there might be some one
in your city-One of the old settlers,
for eEampIe-who has a more distinct
IecCl .ectiOn. In view of the fact that
many Of the old boats were so well
constructed that they can now be
hauled out of the mud after "A years
Of disuse and put back into service, it
is not at all unlikely that consider
able portions of the first two boats
may be in existence today.
If il is not too much trouble, !
should appreciate it if you would pub,
lish this letter in your paper with the
request that any one who recalls the
final cruise of either the General Fry
or the General Thornton let you know,
or address this Office.
Very truly yours,
LEON MCDONALD. Gen. Supt.
