raised she was sold to Captain D. W. Wisherd and 

 burned while laid up in Quincy bay. 



The "Silver Wave," "LeClaire Belle," "Jas. Fisk, 

 Jr.," "Wild Boy," and "Evansville," when their hulls 

 were worn out by long and successful service, were dis- 

 mantled at LeClaire; and some of their engines used in 

 new boats. 



The "Tiber" was also dismantled at LeClaire and 

 her new boilers used in the "Irene D." 



The "Stillwater" was dismantled at Rock Island and 

 her machinery used in the "E. Rutledge." 



The "C. J. Cafifrey" and "Prescott" were also dis- 

 mantled at Rock Island. 



The "Jas. Means," after a few seasons of profit in 

 rafting, in her old age was dismantled and her engines 

 used in the "Golden Gate." 



The "Dan Hine" was dismantled at LaCrosse. 



The "G. H. Wilson" was dismantled at Dakota Bay. 



The "B. F. Weaver" was dismantled at LaCrosse. 



The "Silas Wright" was sunk on the upper Rapids, 

 her engines recovered and used in the "R. D. Kendall." 



The "Penn Wright" burned at Stillwater. 



The first "Chancy Lamb," after long and useful serv- 

 ice, was dismantled at Clinton. 



The new "Chancy Lamb," which appears in the list 

 of 1893, was a larger and more powerful boat, having 

 engines twelve inches in diameter by eight-foot stroke, 

 like the "Irene D." They were the only two boats used 

 in rafting that had eight-foot stroke engines. There 

 were only two that had seven-foot stroke engines; the 

 "Charlotte Boeckeler" and the "F. Weyerhaeuser." 



The "Ida Fulton" was dismantled at Dubuque and 

 her engines went in the new "Glenmont."
