race took place on the Missouri Early in the spring of that year the Henry Johnstone and the Martha came from southern waters to their fortunes in the muddy stream At the same time At the busy levee of the growing each vessel looV on freight for the northwest It happened that the two boats dropped away from the wharf about the same lime The Henry Soigenson master was probably half an ahead of the Johnstone master It was in the afternoon Each boat was loaded with merchandise and both cabins were filled The steamed away briskly and midnight had turned from the broad Mississippi into the dark turbulent water of the big It was only a few moments titer that the Johnstone passed into her wake When daylight broke the boats were in sight of each other both steaming ahead steadily with no apparent ef fort to show high speed It appealed however that the Johnstone the faster boat noon the boats pass ed St Charles within hailing lance of each other The of each vessel sat on deck and watched the other boat pushing through the water but a few reds away The crews too eyed the boats from their respective fore castles commenting on the rival steamer A young fellow on the called to passenger on the John stone Tell your captain that we can leave him so far behind before sunset that he cant see our smoke This taunt was at once conveyed to at the rail and a response And you can tell your he mat he can burn side of bacon in his hold and not get a bend between us Then Captain came to the front for a word The did not come into waters- to race any but if you want to see what sort of a boat she is why I guess well have to accommodate you A shout went up from the drowning the reply that Captain made As he con cluded however he waived his hand to the mate below who sing out Aye aye sir with the air of an old dark brown of Five min utes from the closing of the little speechmiking the engines be gan to move more the blunt nose of the through the water faster and faster until the wheelhouse of the boat was abreast the on the John atone A passenger on the shouted Better poke your fires up will go plump It was a good piece of river in which the boats were running he bends were few and hot severe the water was deep arid in the channel The passengers crowded lo the hurricane deck and stood far astern shouting taunts at the sleepy looking Johnstone Then the Johnstone pilot his foot on the whistle Valve- A great cloud of steam enveloped the the top Of the pilot house arid then a shrill whistle sounded the first of the chime The others broke in with it ten seconds later until all the bunch of the Johnstones pilot house were shouting musical tie- fiance to the Music indeed came from the of those steam boat Whether from near Or far the whistles chiflic always to tell of calm deaf evenings waters soft music tire Singing of melody whisper of love whistle there came a stronger the heavy With each vibration the of passengers and Crew beat faster a hurrying Of feet a silence of voice The race was on Through lhe narrow chute- by Cat fish Island around by without stopping and Wards Hollow the boats raced sometimes forced almost to the grating point by the narrow ness of the channel Twilight found but little change in the relative position of the boats If there was any difference the had gained a few The moon was full giving the pilots a splendid opportunity for good work Its yellow radiance made a river of gold of the turbid torrent No one slept until midnight when a few of the passengers slipped off to take a nap On the there was among the lady passengers Miss Bernard a handsome young woman from St Louis She announced that she would remain awake until the won the race or had hopelessly lost Half a dozen men gallantly agreed to sit it out with her and together the party roamed the moonlit decks or visited the engine room and firemens quarters to encourage the grimy workers to hardy endeavor I wilt give you 100 to win this race Miss Bernard said to the en gineer And the same to you the cried addressing the soolyfaced head stoker The morning found the too yards ahead of the Johnstone Were beat cap said a rough trader addressing Wo were not returned the cap tain Im running this end of the race and depend on me to run it right What want to say friends he began is this Well be in good water before very long a narrow river with a deep channel and rock bottom Its the best water in the river Now we can beat that boat ahead of us easy enough with one thing It will take some grease If I can buy a few sides of meat from the cargo we can go ahead A St Louis trader was on with several hundred sides stepped forward in an instant shall have em cap he said for It was a light jolly cheer that went up hardly bowed thanks so hurriedly did he get away from the cabin and go below Turn the loose Jim lie yelled to the engineer and before his words had died the water the choicest hi inflammable materials were rammed into the yawn furnaces In twenty minutes the Autt was so close that every out line was clearly visible in the brilliant moonlight In two hours the boats were abreast ten yards apart I The from the furnaces of the boats gleamed on the surface of the water rivalling the moons brilliant rays The passengers on each of the boats could hear the others as talked excitedly of the race The noses of the boats were exactly together as they entered the long and beautiful stretch of river just below On with his own hand meat Into his until the J again passed the It was something akin to a curse that Sorgenson utter ed when he found the last of his choice fuel spent On on sped the It was ten yards ahead and gaining I More food for the flames Twenty yards and at the bend first I- A mighty shout went up from the Johnstones decks when the boar rounded so that I he Aull could not be seen It was soon visible again however but the Johnstone was gaining each minute of the time In half an hour had rounded and the race was won It had a start thai the could not overcome Just after midnight the lights at landing were sighted The passenger were still on deck talking of the race A pall of black smoke hung half a back from the stacks and by bend ing the car could one Catch the faint measured thrum thrum of the engine far back on the moon lit river board He You and ORCHARD The Temperance
