Whistle and band rivalry on river boats sparks crowds
A loud sea whistle on the wharf drew spectators as two rival boats, the James Millingar and the Mt Vernon, prepared for St. Louis. A brass band accompanied the ships, but the whistle drowned the music, entertaining onlookers while passengers likely endured the noise. The article also notes South Carolina’s Calhoun death and family details, and mentions Lady Franklin disputing reports of her husband’s safety as rescue efforts proceed.
