Since I was the one who picked up the meal trays, I usually got first crack at the remains, but living on leftovers was a frustrating experience. When something good, like cherry pie, was served, there was never more than just enough remaining to tease ones taste buds. On the other hand, if the cook came up with something nobody liked, like the morning he whipped up a sauerkraut omelett, the roustabouts wouldnt touch it either.

I missed Aunt Sarah's cooking more and more, and wondered if I would ever enjoy good civilized cooking again. There was a bar on the boat, and many of the passengers developed a routine of drinking all night and sleeping all day. When the boat was traveling, it was noisy and smelly. There was loud squeaking and clanking from the engine, and everything smelled of burning engine oil and wood smoke. Captain Harris was in a pretty good mood as long as the boat was moving and we were ahead of the Yellowstone Queen, which we passed during the second week. We were still ahead at the half-wapoint. 1 spent as much time as possible in the wheelhouse with Benny. He taught me how to read the river deep and shallow points, the swiftness of the currents, and how to spot submerged snags. During the spring runoff, many dead trees washed downstream. If a tree had been in the water awhile, its butt end might sink to the bottom, while the upper, jointed end would be suspended near the surface, pointed downstream - just waiting to spear a hole in the bottom of an approaching river boat. Benny taught me how to locate these snags by reading the ripples on the surface. Benny told me about the Indians that wandered the banks of the Big Muddy - the Arikaras, Pawnees, and Minnatarees on the lower river, and the Crows, Assinibons, Sioux, and Blackfeet on the upper river. He told me of the fateful voyage of the St. Peters in 1937, just two years earlier. One of the crewmen came down with smallpox. At the first stop, a Mandan chief stole an infected blanket. Within two weeks, the Mandan tribe, once numbering 1,700 people, was reduced to about 30 Indians. The disease spread to other tribes, not only from Indian to Indian, but also by the St. Peters, which continued its journey upriver. In an attempt to prevent the epidemic at a new trading location, the captain ordered 30 Assinibon women vaccinated with the virus. Unfortunately the experiment failed and the women died; the disease spread to other tribes, including the Blackfeet. Benny said it was estimated that the St. Peters on that one voyage killed over 18,000 Indians. If you want to scare an Injun right out of his scalp, said Benny, just paint red spots on your face, wrap up in a blanket like you was freezn, and start yellin pox, pox, pox.

As close as I could figure, going upstream, we got about five miles out of a cord of wood. There was a lot of runoff water from the upper forks of the Missouri this year, so we didnt have much trouble with sand bars. Even though riverboats such as the Yellowstone Queen and the General Washington could float unobstructed in less than 36 inches of water, there were often numerous sand bars obstructing the trip to Fort Benton. If a ship couldn't force her way over a sand bar, she resorted to grasshoppering. The spars were lowered into the water and pushed into the sand at a angle in an upstream direction. Then cables attached to the bottom ends of the spars would be winched back to the boat. As the spar ends were pulled towards the boat, the bow would be forced up and over the sand bar. The spars would then be set ahead to a new location. The process was called grasshoppering because the spars and boat working together resembled a big grasshopper. combination thereof: drainage and flood control. Upon establishment of the Mt. Pleasant Flood Control and Drainage District, taxes may be annually levied upon all taxable property within the Area to be served and fees and charges may be imposed to pay all or a part of the services to be provided by the Mt.
