Abstract
"The facilities of the steamboat company were taxed to the uttermost to maintain the regular schedules and the hurry and excitement that prevailed at The Dalles probably accounts for the poorly managed departure on our cruise on the U. S. Gunboat Spokane. The 6th of July found us on our way up the river with all going well. I got permission from Sergeant Conner to use some of the soldiers as firemen so that myself and Stockham could look after the engine room. Our progress was delayed by several landings to make investigations ashore as we saw settlers and their wagons hastening toward The Dalles.":
