Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Boys and Girls, 1871
BY the time I was ready to open my trunk, the steamer had settled upon the bottom of the river, which was not very deep at this point. Finding the boat was going down no farther, I dragged my trunk up into the cabin. I do not believe in making a fuss when there is no occasion for a fuss. My property was safe, and so far as I was able to judge, my fel low-passengers were equally fortunate. A few of the ladies insisted upon screaming, even after the danger was passed; but it is their prerogative to scream, and no one had a right to object.
