GRANT AND rlHE STEAMBOAT CATTAIN-
As soon as the river was opened, steam
ers cume to VicLfburg to convey furlotigh
ed troops up the river at extortionate
charges, demanding twenty-five and thirty
dollars for a passage from Vicksburg to
Cairo, j
One steamer had its decks crowded
with soldiers. Grant asked a man staud
ing on the wheel house, anJ giving orders
loudl? :
"Are you the captain of this boat ?"
"Yes, General."
'How many soldiers have you on board?'
"About twelve hundred aad fifty."
"What have you charged for fare to
Cairo?-' .
"From ten to twenty-Sve dollars each,
General."
"Ten to twenty five dollars each ! Is
that all ? Why, that is too moderate !
It is a pity yoa should have to take the
boys for so small a sum ! Yoti had bet
ter wait a while."
Speaking to the officer on gtiard, he
went away. The steam whistled, the
bell rung, the wheels moved slowly j but,
for tome reason, she was not cast off.
The men could not understand it, until ,
in a few moments mau came with an or.
der for the gurad to keep the steamer un
til the captaiu paid back all over s.-vea
dollars taken f ot fare from each officer, and
all over five dollars from each soldier ;
an 1 tUe -rdur was obeyed.
