The Albatross, the big boat which recently passed Davenport, on her way from Dubuque, where she was nullt, to Vicksburg, where she will be put in commission as a big transfer ferry, is still lying at the river landing at Montrose, unable to pass through the canal or over the rapids above Keokuk.

Tho rise that was hoped for has not come, the barge.3 that were depended on to lighten the boat over the rapids proved too small, and the river may fall from now on so decidedly as to dishearten those charged with the big task of getting tho mammoth boat down the river. If so, she will probably have to lay over till next spring. The boat is the largest river steamer ever constructed for Inland navigation. She cost $300,000. The Albatross was built at Dubuque.

She was to Join the transport Pelican at Vicksburg for the fleet of the Queen and Crescent railroad. At present the Pehcan is the largest vessel in the Mississippi transport service. The Albatross exceeds her by five feet in length, but otherwise the boats are of equal proportions. The Albatross measurements are: Three hundred and five feet long and beam 86 feet; 7 feet 9 inches In depth, weight 1,600 tons. The hull is constructed entirely of steel.

Dubuque yards have produced many large boats In recent years. The Sprague, the largest towboat in America, now plying the Ohio out of Pittsburg ia a Dubuque product, and several craft for naval service, including the torpedo boat Ericsson, came from there. Many smaller craft for government service in inland waters have been there, besides an Immense fleet of coal ana Iron vessels. HAS INSTALLATION John T. Temple.
