When they arrived about five miles a!ot e the Yeiiow Li n k-, they it. noted llie boat opposite the liist vein of eoal !:ieh was on the Indiana side, and had been puicha.-cd iu the interim, of the state govt rntnent. They found a Targe quantity already quarried to their hand, and conveyed to the shore, by depredators who had not found means to early it oil", and with this they commenced loading the boat. While thus engaged, oui-voyageis were accosted in great alarm by the squatters of the neighbor hood, who inquired if they h;.d not heard strange noises on the river and in the woods, in the course of the proceeding day, and perceive the chores shake; insisting that they had repeatedly felt the earth tremble.

hey reached their destination at Natchez, at the close of the first week in Januaiy, 1812, to the great astonishment of all, the escape ot t'.ie boat having been considered an impossibility. At that time you tloated for three or four hundred miics on the rivers with out seeing a human habitation. Such was the voyage of the first steamer. The natural convulsion which t on mer.ced at the time of her descent, has been but slightly alluded to, but will never be forgotten in the history o! the west; and the changes wi ought by
