; - i SHH'S IN THE DAKOTAS
I.Neaily seventy years ago a wheezy packet steamer, ply
ing along, the upper Missouri river between thc frontier out
posts and trade centers like Omaha, Kansas City ami St.
1 .ouis, ripped its keel open on a sunken sung and went to the
hottbm iij n deep spot near Elk Point, S. D.
Twcnien are now preparing to engage in a hunt for
Ircasuio'Tri tho vessel's hull, deeply embedded in tho mud.
Koi'i according to old documents, when the steamer went
down it' was loaded with a big consignment of furs and a lar;e
number olXegti of whiskey. ,
The tbJnkey, these men believe, could not have been
harmed Iiy3t;lung burial indeed, it would probably be im
pioved,' They also have reason to believe, they s:ty, that
(he furs would not be j i vjatly damaged. All in all, the steam
er's cargo would be weil worth recovering. The men arc pie
paring to locate the sunken hull, remove the mud that has set
tled on and about it and bring its cargo to the surface.
.; Hunts for sunken treasure ships are relatively common;
yet, for some reason, th.-rc is an unusual appeal to this one.
'"he thought of anyone socking to find treasure in the hull of
i' ship in South Dakota seems romchow fantastic. South Da

thousand miles from the ocean - .me could hardly pick a more
incongruous spot to k,ol for a sunken steamboat.
We are apt to forget, in this day of railroad trains and
automobiles, the extent to which the Missouri river served
i's a highway in the old days. Many and many a steamer
v ent up a stream that is no longer considered navigable,
bearing the goods of civilization to frontier outposts in the
Dakota? and bringing back furs and gold dust. The Missouri
