The skeptics had always boasted that no steamer of one hundred and twen- ty-five horse-power w^ould ever reach this inland city. The bill authorizing the construction of the Locks and Canals at Lawrence provided that they should be twenty feet wide in the clear, and that they should be forever kept clear for the free transit of all vessels of any descrip- tion. But the idea of river navigation to Lowell was so apparently preposterous that the canals were planked over and covered up, so that whe...n the Mather came to the foot of the locks she came to a dead halt. The position of the locksmen was a ludicrous one. They looked at each other and then at the steamer, very much as the Indians may be supposed to have gazed on the first white man who appeared to them. But they were wakened to a sense of the reality of the situation by the demand of Boynton that the locks should be cleared. So all night they worked, and the next day fifty small boys towed along the canal the scow Columbus (very appropriate appellation) with her twenty-five tons of coal.
