CHAPTER VI. WILL HALLAM eras very shrewdest CAPTAIN of thethough not whoas Ilfs from boyhood onwnrd had boon devoted to the task of taking quick advantage ef very opportunity that the great river tragic of the fifties had offered to men of enterprise sad sound Judgment Beginning as a barefoot boy about aover mentioned 1860 or oarlter-- bc the dato--hs hod "run tbo river" la all sorts of rapacities until when the war came, temporarily paralysing the river trade; be bad a comfortable llttlo nm of money to tbo good. Unable to foresee What the course and oatoomo of the war might be, bo determined as a measure ef prudence to indulge himself and his little hoard la a period ef safe waiting. Ho converted all Ms possessions Into gold and deposited vw whole of It hi a Canadian bank, when, while It earned no Interest, it was at any rata perfectly safe. Then he sought and secured n elerk-sht- p In tbo eomnaiosary department of the army, living upon the scant salary Hist the clerkship afforded end meanwhile acquainting himself in minute detail with the food resources of every quarter of the country, tbo means and methods of transportation sod handling and everything else that could in any wise aid him In nuking himself s master In commerce. Then ono day In 1863, when ho had satisfied himself that tbs fortunes of war were definitely turning and that la the end the Union cause was destined to triumph, ho made n change. Ho Ho resigned his clerkship. bio money from Canada and considerably increased at least its nominal amount by converting the gold into greatly depreciated greenbacks. With this capital he opened a and forwarding boose at Cairo; together with a coal yard, a bank, five wharf boats, half doom tugs, aa Insurance office, a floor mill and other things. He sent tor his brothers to art ns his clerks and presently to become bis partners. From the beginning ho made money rapidly, and from too beginning be was eagerly on the lookout for opportunities which In that time of rapid change wen abundant. Ho quickly secured control of nearly all the com-- , mission and forwarding business that centered at Cairo, By underbidding the government itself be presently hod contracts for ail the vast government business of that character. He woe always ready to take up a collateral enterprise that promised remits. When the Mississippi river was reopened to commerce by the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, Captain Will Hsllam was the first to see and seise the opportunity. He bought everything be could lay his binds on in the way of oteamboota and barges and sent them all upon trading voyage a each under charge of n captain, but each directed by bis own masterful mind up and down the Mississippi, and np and down the Ohio; sod up and down every navigable tributary of those great rivers.
