^ "Some of the advantages which the barge possesses over the steamboat are, in the security from the effects of a bursted boiler — freedom from the heat and steam and from the smell of grease and the kitchen, and from the jar occasioned by the machinery and the enlarged accommodations — ^the whole being set apart for eating and sleeping and walking. The cabin in which we dined is below and is the same in which the gentlemen sleep; and one hundred and eighty persons can sit down at once and ea...ch have elbow room sufficient for all the purposes of figuring with the knife and fork in all the graces of which these two instruments are sus- ceptible. At the termination of this immense dining apartment and towards the bow is a bar, most sump- tuously suppKed with all that can be desired by the most fastidious and thirsty. The berths occupy the entire sides of this vast room; they are curtained in such way as to afford retirement in dressing and un- dressing; there being brass rods on which curtains are projected and these are thrown out at night.
