Tb.# boatmen made a good harvest by conveying the sight-aeers to the sbip, charging 1b for each passenger each way. They appeared, however, to wish to prolong the attraction for another day. Everybody seemed pleased with the courteßy shown on board, and a large number went also to view the Iroaside.
