From Mary Washington Wharf" "The
new family resort. City View was
doing business in the summer of 1888
George Law. City View IN the 90s
became Buena Vista and was served
by the steamboat Seufferle-if that is
the way her name was spelled.
The George Law and the City or
Washington were in collision early
on the morning of September 20, 1888,
off Giesboro point. No particular
damage was done. but there was
long investigation at Baltimore by
Steamboat inspectors Saville and
Cooper. and among the witnesses
whose names the Rambler recalls
J. B. Eskridge of the City of wash
ington, Engineer Venner of the Law
and Capt. J. T. Barker Of the Lady or
the Lake. At one time the steamer
Florence was the City View boat.
The "Five-Cent Ferry seems not 10
have been profitable to the George Law
and she returned to the work OF car
rying freight and passengers between
Washington and the many wharves
between the capital and Nomini. Her
Washington agent in the early SOS wa
E. NJ Middaugh, a small, thin. elderly
man. of whom the Rambler cherlshes
many pleasant memories.
One of the old steamboats, of our
river was the Pilot Boy. Everybody
who knew anything about Potomac
steamboats, knew her. or knew him. =
and yet the Rambler has but small
fund of specific information relating
to this boat. There is big differ
ence between having genera! 1nfor-
nation" and exact information. A
thousand persons reading these lines
may lay down the paper and take
off their spectacless and sigh "Ah. yes!
The good old Pilot Boy! l knew her
we'll! I travelled on her once! Per-
hans a thousand readers may sigh
"Ah, yes! I knew her well! l travel
ed on her many a timer But perhaps
or those two thousand. actually knew
the Pilot Boy well enough to write
a PARAGRAPH Of facts about her. The
Rambler also knew her well" and
travelled on her, but when 1t comes
to the point of presenting those facts
which would tell her story he feels
stumped. She was built at Whining
ton. Del, in 1857. When she came to
tho Potomac river the Rambler does
not know. The chances are that she
worked in her youth on the Delaware
or Hudson river. for nearly all 70
tomac steamboats, served their ap-
premiership or novitiate on these
rivers.
Lurking somewhere in the background
of the Rambler's memory is the belief
that the Pilot Boy came to the Potomac
during the civil war. He knows that
she was regular passenger and frelght
steamer in this river in the early los.
She was here in 1878 and the Rambler
has taken the following advertisement
from The Star of June l. 1874:
