Show Fridoy, juiy 20, 1984 Vernal Express 11 StormTestament ' l V 1 (Continued from last Wednesday's Vernal Express) "My parents are dead, sir. I'm an orphan." "I see," he said, rubbing his whiskered chin and looking me over a second time, more closely. "Can I have the job, sir?" "Oh, one more thing," he said slowly. Suddenly his cane struck out viciously vicious-ly at my head, a wide sweeping blow. I didn't have time to duck, and barely got my arm up in time to receive the blow. The impact was sufficiently powerful to send me sprawling across the deck. The blow left a stinging red welt on my arm and shoulder. "Why did you do that?" I shouted, leaving out the "sir." I was surprised and angry, and tempted to draw the knife from my belt and throw it at his big belly. He began to chuckle, then said, "The job's yours, if you still want it. Be back at dark; we leave at first light. Harvey at the table will tell you what to do." He turned and hobbled away. I climbed to my feet, not sure if I wanted to be cabin boy on the General Washington. I walked across the deck and down the ramp to Harvey's table. "Why'd he hit me?" I demanded. Harvey was all smiles this time. "You did good, kid. You passed the test." "What test?" "The crybaby test. The capt'n can't stand cabin boys who cry when things get tough. He hit you to see if you would cry. You didn't, so you got the job. Congratulations. See you tonight." He looked back down z.i a book where he was doing some figuring, and I headed up the hill to tell Ike how I planned to get him aboard the other boat, the Yellowstone Queen. I fugured that since Missouri was a slave state, any free black applying for a job that would carry him out of the state would be suspected of trying to escape his master. My plan was to present pre-sent Ike as a slave to the captain of the Yellowstone Queen and get the captain to rent Ike's services for the journey, as he had rented the services of the other slaves on his vessel. According to the sailor Harvey, rented slaves made the best deck hands, being accustomed ac-customed to hard work and frequent orders. Leaving the mule and supplies in the woods, Ike and I approached the Yellowstone Queen from upstream. I didn't want to be seen by people on the General Washington where I had been hired on as a cabin boy. Ik-fore socking out the captain of the Yellowstone Queen, I made inquiries of several of the men on shore to learn some details about renting slaves to river boat captains. I learned that the average rent on trips to the upper Missouri and back was one dollar a day. The estimated length of the trip w as 12q days, The slave got to k pep the dollar tamed on Sundays while the rest of the money enl to the master. Generally half the fee was paid to the slave onrr in advance of the trip, with the balance due upon return. If the fclave did not return, the captain w ai ohliKaird to pay the owner the fair market value of the tav, I ai pleaded to notice that a good ru-fl ef the Yellowstone Queen'a cargo a Hill on the wharf, waiting td W loadrd.

Select vegetables that are at the peak of their goodness; neither overripe over-ripe nor immature. Process them as soon as possible following harvest. Sort them for size, and remove all blemishes or undesirable products. Wash them thoroughly. Containers should be selected and with a bald head and a thick, black beard. Deciding to keep my story as close to the truth as possible in case the captain decided to check up on us, I told him that Ike belonged to my uncle, un-cle, Dick Boggs, who had recently been injured in an accident with a runaway horse. I explained that because of the expenses related to his injuries, Uncle Dick had decided to rent out some of his best field hands for cash income. As I began to add more details about the extent of Uncle Dick's injuries, the captain interrupted inter-rupted me. "I'll pay seventy-five cents a day with a thirty-dollar advance, not a penny pen-ny more." It was apparent the captain was satisified with my story and wanted to get on with the business of putting Ike to work loading the cargo. I didn't dare look at Ike, but I knew he was as delighted as I was at the way things were developing. I didn't want to raise any suspicions by seeming too eager to accept the terms, so I said, "Uncle Dick thought Ike would bring more than that. I don't want my uncle mad at me. I'd better check w ith the captain of the General Washington. Maybe he'll pay more." I turned to Ike as if we were going to leave. Almost too quickly, the captain responded. "Wait a minute. I really nwd help getting this cargo loaded. Do you think your uncle would be satisfied with a dollar a day and a fifty-dolar advance?" I turned to the captain, smiled broadly, and offered him my hand. "It's a deal," I said. Ike was Immediately put to work loading the Yellowstone Queen. I collected col-lected the advance money, signing for Uncle Dick, end returned to the woods to get Ike's thing, I divided our sup-plir sup-plir Into two bundles, one for me and one for Ike, and nold the mule to a man for thirty dollars. When I delivered Ike's bundle to him aboard the Yellowstone Qurrn, I gave him two twenty-dollar gold pieces, half our money and probably more money than Ike had ever ren at one lime in hi entire en-tire life, and told him to ew the coin into hi troustr pocket. We would frd the money fof hot-M- w ben we arrived ar-rived at Kort Hrnton, where the boat titftwd around and beaded hack home.

ALL VEGETABLES MUST BE PROCESSED IN PRESSURE COOKER Due to the nature of vegetables, pressure cooking is necessary to render the food safe for human consumption. Follow the manufacturers directions for the canner you are using. Make sure you know how to operate your equipment. Generally: Jars should be placed so that steam can flow around each jar. Two layers of pints can be placed in a cooker, if the size allows this, and if a flat rack is placed between layers. Never take chances or guess work with a pressure cooker. Understand how to operate the pressure cooker you are operating. After processing has been done according ac-cording to the food you are preserving, remove the cooker from the stove to X X ' X X X X X JL X x i as m w w asi w w v v ;u' a i a a i a A AEM i a i a i a ,i M a ,t ,, wi , a ,i.

When the cooker gauge or weight indicates in-dicates that the cooker has cooled sufficient suf-ficient to decrease the pressure inside wait another minute or two, and then remove the weight (open the petcock) depending on the type of cooker you are using. Make sure there is no pressure in the cooker before att-mepting att-mepting to remove the lid. Remove lid carefully. Remove the jars, and place jars away from cold drafts on a rack or folded cloth, where air can circulate around them. NOTE: An accurate pressure gauge is necessary to get the processing temperatures needed to make food safe to eat. The accuracy of the pressure cooker should be determined determin-ed by having the gauge tested before the canning season, or more often if the canner is used a number of times during the season. Ask your county extension ex-tension agent, dealer, or manufacturer about checking its accuracy. x' i X I X X X X i 1 i X X i v k$ w v v v u w v WERKliRIL AREA Cm itCIl AME) Smil?I?R YUR JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS DUTCH JOHN Bitlwp GWd trtkwxi Dutch Mm, Uth 14029, M43J90 Sunday PM.frS.VW.Prmi 00m.
