THE
HOY BOATMAN.
A large pair of heavily laden coal
boats, or "broadhorns" as they were
termed, swept out of the Ohio and.
r:1 ;,-hing the current of the mighty Mis-
fissippi. began the second stage of the
journey to New Orleaus.
Tlic lumbering, cumbrous crafts had
jonn* all tho way from Pittsburg under
the command of Joo lrick, a most skill
ful pilot. These coal boats were pecu
liarly constructed vessels, but they are
nu\v tilings of the past, their places being
supplied by large barges, which are
towed back and forth by steamers.
They were built of 1-inch pine hoards,
carefully selected, and any piece of lum
ber containing but a single knot was re
jected. No nails wero used in putting
the timbers together, hut wooden pins
.ere called for.
These frail vessels wero loaded deep
with coal from tho mines, then two
were lushed together side by side, and
with a crew of thirty-five or forty men
would float serenely down the Ohio and
Mississippi to tlieir destination.
The day in which onr story opens Joe
lrick was standing in the stern of one of
the boats, with the long steering oar in
hand guiding his broadhorn on its way.
Beside him was a lad about sixteen
years of age, a handsome, intelligent
looking boy, who seemed to be wrapped
in wonder and admiration at the sublim
ity of the scene that stretched out before
him.
Well, Jimmy, my son, we’re on the
ole! Mississippi once more. Let me see;
this is the third time for yon, isn’t it?”
Yes, uncle, you know you have taken
rr twice yourself to New Orleans.
■•That's a fact, Jim. Bnt you see I’m
c fling old and am apt to forget little
l .tugs like a trip down river. Now 1
lonMn't tell within fifteen or twenty
how many times I've been down stream.”
"That's not to be wondered at,” re
turned tho boy, respectful!,,, “for you
were a pilot lotig before I was born.
But, look, yonder comes a high pressure
boat up stream,” and Jimmy pointed to
u dense cloud of black smoke which was
pouring out of the double stacks of
L.rge steamer that was approaching.
"Let iter come, my lail,.let her come.
She's got to keep out of our way. Now,
what would you say,” continued lrick
if 1 could tell you the name of that craft;
a .id, what’s more, the name of the man
who is looking at ns now out of her
pilot house, and likely enough wishing
us sunk down among the catfish for
presuming to get in his course. Yes,
iny son, that’s the River Queen, and
John Williams is her pilot.”
•‘How can you be so positive at such a
distance?” asked the boy, hia gaze still
riveted on tho boat.
“Listen to that exhaust,” and Joe
lrick turned his head so as to better
catch the peculiar sound. “There isn't
another ‘hooker’ betwixt Cairo and the
Gulf with such a voice as that. Now
you'll seo when we meet Williams, he’ll
lay tho River Queen as close to this
broadhorn as he dares to. It's an old
trick of his. Ho thinks to frighten us,
but here's a boss that don’t frighten so
easily. 1 tell you one thing. Jimmy,
he'll cut up that caper once too often,
and when ho sends a pair of boats with
tlieir freight to the bottom of t.he
Mississippi I'm under the impression
that the owners will fire him ashore on
the bank, and then he’ll have to take to
coal !>oating himself, like tho rest of us.”
By this time the steamer was within a
few yards of our friend, when she was
seen to change her course a fraction.
“There, boy, didn’t 1 tell you? Jack
Williams has starb’—edhis helm, think
ing to raise our hairl" - Then in a loud
voice, which could have been heard
from one side of the river to the other,
Joe called:
“Hulloa, Williams! Up to your old
tricks again? I reckon you wouldn’t
have taken tho trouble of changing your
course if you’d a known Joe lrick was
on board here. He don’t belong to the
scary breed.”
“Howdy, Joe,” returned the man in
the steamer’s pilot house. “Oh, no, I
don't want to crowd you into the bank.
There’s room enough on the stream for
two such fellows as you and I.”
As lrick was about to answer, a shrill
scream was heard, issuing from the
after part of the steamer, and the same
instant a ch.ld was seen to fall from the
rail ot the hurricane deck to the water.
In a second Jimmy, the boy boatman,
sprang across the coal until he reached
the edge of the broadhorn, and then
plunged head foremost into the muddy
current.
The heavy boats were drifting fully
five miles an hour, while the steamer
had been making equally good time
U P against the stream; conseouently,
when the brave lad reached the little
girl, his own craft as well as the River
Queon were some distance away.
Joe lrick was almost as quick to act
as his nephew. Calling to the “second
pilot” to take the steering ear he picked
n P theiittlo skiff, that is always carried
en top of the coal, launched if» and seat-
lag himself upon the thwart held it in
Position until the rescuer and his burden
drifted down within his teach,
i Extending hia Joo tho
child and drew it into the boat, saying
to Jimmy as ho did so:
“You get hold of tho stern and hunt
on thfere until I can pull down to th-
broadhorn. You won’t get any wettei
than you are now and there’s no dangei
of the eels a-uibbling at your toes.”
“All right, Uncle Joe. Don't bother
about me. I can overhaul the boats be
fore you, now”— And the boy striking
out vigorously actually did leave tin
skiff behind in the race down the river.
When the broadhorn was reached th«
little maiden, in her drippiug garments
was lifted carefully and deposited on r
blanket, which some thoughtful mem
ber of the crew had spread on top of tin
•oal.
Joe came on board, and resuming tin
steering oar ordeied:
“Two of you fellows take the skit
and run n line down and make it fast ti
that big tree on tho Kentucky bank
We'il tie up and give J»ck Williams n

passengers that he’s scattering around
so »areiess like."
It was a difficult task to lay the two
heavy boats alongside the shore without
sustaining any injury, for they were so
frail that ihe least touch upon a lock or
snag would have meant instant destruc
tion.
When the pi’et saw tnat the line bad
been properly secured he rent bis assist
ant forward to the -gonring oar,” while
he himself wielded the •••teerer,’* and
his men pulled lustily at the sweeps to
3wing the bows of the broadhorn up
stream. Then as tne inner Boat began
to hear the land t .vi long poles wero run
out to fend them off trim the bank.
This work completed, Joe turned hi
attention to the little sufferer, by whoso
side his nephew had remained, endeavor
ing to quiet her hysterical sobbing, and
to assuro her that she need not fear,
that all danger was p«--t.
'Pears to me, little one, you took a
mighty sudden hath,” said nick, with u
smile, as he looked down at tho tear
stained face of the chil l.
“Oh, sir, it was terrible! I was reach
ing over to look at your boats as they
passed when 1 lost my balance and fell.”
“That’s it,” returned the pilot grimly.
If Williams hadn’t been a-cutting up
his capers and kept his vessel where it
belonged, you wouldn't have had to
reach clear over the si.la in order to see
a couple of heaps of coil and a uumber
of ragged boat ttieu going by yim But

and you’ll soon be saf > ur. l **tnad with
your friends again, my li'tia one."
Oh, yes, ami I have you to thank for
saving me," replied the maiden, looking
at Jimmy in such a manner as to cause
the warm blood to mantle the boy's
cheek. "Papa will be very grateful to
you, and I know when lie comes to take
me away he will give you a handsome
present.”
“Oh. I could not think of accepting
anything in payment of a duly which
plainly devolved upon mo,” stammered
the yonng boatman.
Nevertheless, 1 know ho will insist
upon doing something tor yon. Ho
thinks so much of me I am sure he would
rather give the whole of his steamer
than to have mo drowned. Papa owns
the River Queen, didn’t you know it?”
"What’s that, miss?” asked Joe in as
tonishment. “Is Squire Carroll your
father?”
“That's what the people at tho plan
tation call him. But at New Orleans or
Cairo he is known as Mr. Carroll.”
“Then, boy,” exclaimed the bluff old
pilot, slapping Jimmy on the shoulder,
“you’ve done a big stroke of work for
yourself this day, and we’ll see you a
“Branch pilot” within a twelvemonth.
I hope you’ll try to teach that Wil
liams some sense. It’s just this way,

girl, “my nephew has wanted for some

Proceeding Againat the Pinkerton*.
Chicago, July 9i—The Trades and
Labor Assembly of the city has retain
ed an attorney, and will proceed against
the management of the Pinkertons for
raising illegal companies of men. The
proceedings thus far have been kept se
cret, for It was feared that a premature
publication of the plan would defeat
the scheme. Steps have been taken to
prevent, by legal measures, the sending
from the Chicago headquarters of the
Piukertons any organized body of men
to the scene of the Pennsylvania labor
troubles. The report that a large num
ber would be sent Friday resulted in the
placing at the various stations commit
tees of the assembly to make sure that
no recruits were sent The principal
ground on which they base their hopes,
is the Illinois statate regulating the
formation of military bodies.
