A Kentucky Steamboat —A Kentucky steampacket captain, while dilating on the excellence of his craft, says, “She trots off like a horse —all boiler—full pressure—it’s hard to hold her in at the wharfs and landing. I could run her up a cataract. She draws eight inches of water—goes at three knots a minute, and jumps over all the snags and sand bants.”
