The Pioneer line on this route is exclusively for passengers, and professes to reach Pittsburg in four days—but is sometimes behind several hours. Fare through, $10. Passengers pay for meals.
Leech's line, called "the Western Transportation line," takes both freight and passengers. The packet boats advertise to go through to Pittsburg in five days for $7.
Midship and steerage passengers in the transportation line in six and a half days; merchandize delivered in 8 days. Generally, however, there is some delay. Emigrants must not expect to carry more than a small trunk or two on the packet lines. Those who take goods or furniture, and expect to keep with it, had better take the transportation lines with more delay. The price of meals on the boats is about 37½ cents.
On all the steamboats on the Western waters, no additional charge is made to cabin passengers for meals,—and the tables are usually profusely supplied. Strict order is observed, and the waiters and officers are attentive.
