When seated by the bright fire, " the boys " told me their history. They were out of work; so, investing sixty dollars in an old sloop, putting on board a barrel of pork, a barrel of flour, some potatoes, coffee, salt, and molasses, (which cargo was to last three months, ) they started to cut canes in the canebrakes of White River, Arkansas. These canes were to be util- ized as fishing-poles, and being carefully assorted and fastened into bundles, were to be shipped to Cincinnati by steamer, an...d from there by rail to Cleveland, Ohio, where Mr. Farrar, their con- signee, would dispose of them for the party. FOUR MONTHS IN A SNEAK-BOX. 1 45 They had come down the Mississippi from Keo- kuk, Iowa, having left that place December 13th, and had experienced various delays, having sev- eral times been frozen up in creeks.

Stirling, of Painesville, Ohio, was the prin- cipal of the party, and I found him an unusually intelligent young man.
