Mary. Sh! you’ll wake the baby.

well, an’ you come to de weel-house. Phus tote de baby.
Mary (rising hastily). Take good care of him. (Exit r.)
Phus. Take good care ob him. (Imitates her voice, and tip-toes
round the room.) How golly fine it am to be de cap’n’s mis’, a-sittin’
down har all fix’ up, and den walkin’ on deck wid de par-sol, totin’ de
baby. Oh, Lor! (Sings softly.)
Min’ de pick’niny,
Min’ de pick’niny,
Take good care ob him.
Wot’s dem books? I dunno, caze I can’t read ’em all yit. But the
cap’n’s mis’, she try larn me. Lemme see. (Takes up a book and
reads.) “Meel-iss-see-felt-a-cold-han’-on-her-fore-head-an’-she-
scream-ded-scream-ded.” Wot’s dat? Golly! I can’t do dat. (Shuts up
the book.) Sh! sh! de baby’s wokem up. He’ll holler ef he see me. I’ll
make him tink I’m de cap’n’s mis’. (He takes the parasol and opens
it, spreads the handkerchief over his face, and sits down by the
cradle. Enter Captain Miller, r., leaning on Mary’s shoulder.)
Mary. Tell me, dear, just how you feel. (Sees Phus.) Oh, Phus!
you’ll scare the baby.
Phus. Mis’, de baby was a gwine to wokem up, and I specks he’d
tink ’twas you.
Capt. M. Phus, take off that rig, and go on deck, you lubber! (Exit
Phus, r.) Oh, I don’t know. I feel just as I did once when I was a boy,
before I had the typhoid fever,—tired all over. (Sits.) My head is as
light as a feather, and my feet are heavy as lead. I don’t feel as if I
could step a step.
Mary. Lie down a little while, and perhaps you’ll feel better. How
much farther do we go up river?
Capt. M. About two hundred miles. We shall reach the last station
in a few days. (Takes off his jacket and shoes wearily, as he talks.)
Patsy is at the wheel, and you can bring me word if he wants
anything.
Mary (aside). Oh, dear! I know he is going to be sick. (To him)
Where is the chart of the river?
Capt. M. On deck, in the wheel-house.
Mary. And all the things you use?
Capt. M. Yes. Why?
Mary. Because I want to know, so that you can have a good long
nap.
Capt. M. Our course is all marked out, and what to steer by; but I
shall feel better, I hope, after I have had some sleep. You’d better go
on deck, once in a while, see how things are going on, and let me
know. (Exit l., holding by the doorway.)
Mary (sitting). What shall I do! away up here, a hundred miles
from a doctor. I am afraid William has the river fever, the same as
Phus had last year. Oh! mother! mother! If I could only have you with
me! If I could only get word to you! (Leans her head on the table.)
(Enter Phus, r.)
Phus. Whar de cap’n? Pats say he want know which way ter go,
and de cap’n must tell him.
Mary. Phus, do you remember how sick you were last year?
Phus. An’! wouldn’t ’a’ libed ef you hadn’t ’a’ nussed me.
Mary. Do you want to pay me for it?
Phus. I ain’t got no money, mis’; but I prays ebery night: Lor’ bress
de cap’n’s wife. She nuss me; make me well.
Mary. I don’t want any money, Phus. You can pay me in a better
way.
Phus. An’ I sings in de cook-house w’en de pork’s a-fizzlin’, an’
Hank he likes it. (Sings mournfully.)
I’se poor Jo-Phus,—’Lijah cum down.
Sick in de ’teamboat,—’Lijah cum down.
Cap’n’s mis’ nuss me,—’Lijah cum down.
(Livelier.) An’ den I gits well,—’Lijah cum down.
Swing low de goolden charyot,
Rock de baby, car’ long de cap’n’s mis’.
’Lijah cum down.
(Mary does not listen.)

Mary. Phus, listen to me. The captain is very sick, and you can
help me if you will; and more than pay me for anything I have done
for you.
Phus. I’ll do ebryting. You so good to poor Phus—make me well,
an’ larn me to read—see here. (Reads.) “Mee-liss-see-felt-a-scream-
ded,” no, dat ain’t de place; “col’—col’—han’—” (cold hand.)
Mary. Never mind reading now, Phus. I want you to stay here
while I go on deck, and listen to the captain. If he wakes up and
wants anything, you must go in and tell him I will come right down;
then you come and call me. (Exit r.)
Phus. Yaas, mis’! (Applies ear to keyhole of door, l.)

ACT III.
Forward deck of the Creole Bride. Wheel-house at r.

gangway and railing at l., table and two camp chairs
at c., chairs c. Mary at the wheel, with the chart and
compass beside her.
Mary. I wonder if I am all right here! The course is not very clearly
marked out. Willie is still so sick that he can’t tell me any more about
steering, and Patsy don’t seem to know anything but his engine, or
how to go when it is plain sailing. (Studies the chart.) Let me see!
We must stop at three more stations before we reach the mouth of
the Washita,—Munroe, Columbia, and Harrisonburg; and then we go
down the Red and Yellow to Baton Rouge. Oh! yes, I see. We steer
right here by Dead Man’s Bluff, and then by Run-away Swamp. How
lucky I studied that book on navigation! It helps me so much to
understand these marks on the chart. If Patsy would only behave
well, I should be all right; but he don’t like the idea of being “bossed,”
as he calls it, “by a woman.”
(Enter Patsy, r.)
Mary. Patsy, have you thrown out the line lately?
Patsy. Yes, mum.
Mary. Where are we?
Patsy. Be-gorries! I dunno, mum.
Mary. How much water?
Patsy. Faix! the lid was varry well down, and the mud was yaller.
Mary. That may mean something to you, I suppose. You can’t
read. Bring me the line. (He bring it from l.)
Patsy. It’s tin fut, mum. (Aside) Bedad, she thinks she’s cap’n.
Mary. That’ll do, Take the line forward, and mind your engine.
Patsy (muttering). Mind the injun, is it? O’ coorse. Musha and faix,
I wull! I’m the lasht lad not to be mindin’ me injun. (Drops the line and
goes toward r.)
Mary. Patsy!
Patsy. Vart do yer want? I can’t be lavin’ my injun arl the time.
True for yez!
Mary. Patsy! I told you to take the line forward!
Patsy. I’ll not do it, mum, for all of yez. Ye’re not the cap’n!
Mary (looking at him severely). Patsy! Take that line forrard, and
be quick about it!
Patsy (takes the line to l., and exit r., muttering). I’ll not be
bossed by no woman!
Mary. I don’t know what I shall do with Patsy. He threatens to
leave me at the next station, and I can’t find a decent engineer short
of Baton Rouge; and I mustn’t trouble William with it, he is still so
feeble.
(Enter Phus, l.)
Phus. Mis’, de cap’n say he feel bet’ as did, an’ he wan’ ter see
yer.
Mary. Very well, I’ll go down. You call Patsy to stand at the wheel;
and then you go and stay with the baby.
Phus. Yes, mis’. (Calls, r.) Pats! Har! you Pats, lave dat injyne an’
cum an’ stan’ by de wheel. Pay—ats! Pay—ats! Pay—a—ts! Cum,
Pats, to de weel-house! Mis’ say so.
(Enter Pats r. He takes the wheel.)
Mary (to Patsy). Mind your helm now; keep her on her course.
(Exit Mary, r.)
Patsy. Ugh! Bedad!
Phus (sits down at the wheel-house and takes his banjo). Bress
de Lor’, de cap’n’s bet’ as was. He say he mean git well. (Sings and
rocks himself.)
Lor’ bress de cap’n,—’Lijah cum down.

Lor’ bress de cap’n’s mis’,—’Lijah cum down.
An’ let ’im git well,—’Lijah cum down.
As dis poor Jo-Phus did,—“Lijah cum down.
Swing low de goolden charyot,
Car’ long de baby, cap’n, an’ de cap’n’s mis’,
’Lijah cum down.
Patsy (putting his head out of the wheel-house). Musha! Shtop yer
hullabaloo, you black nayger.
Phus. Dere aint no sich man round here. My name’s Jo-see-phus,
Herodytus Miller. (Exit l.)
(Re-enter Mary, r., half supporting Captain Miller, who tries to
walk; he sits down near the table wearily.)
Capt. M. (feebly). It’s no use, Mary, I can’t walk. I can’t use my
legs a mite, and that’s a fact. The malaria has settled in them, and I
don’t know as I shall ever walk again.
Mary (stands beside him, and keeps her eye on the vessel’s
course). Yes, you will, dear. The doctor says so; and he says you
must get away from the boat, go into the mountains and stay awhile,
and then you will be as well as ever.
Capt. M. Oh, Mary! If I could only go to New England. I feel as if it
would cure me. If I could only go to Maine, and see the White Hills,
all covered with snow on top, from behind father’s house, see
mother, and have some of their good victuals—(He breaks down.)
Mary. You shall go. It won’t cost any more to go there than it will to
pay your board at some place near the mountains; and no matter if it
does.
Capt. M. How can I leave the vessel? If I take the money to go
East with, I shan’t be able to meet my payments, and shall lose my
chance of buying into her.
Mary (to Patsy). Ease her off a couple of points. (To William)
Never mind that! Don’t worry. It’s better to lose everything else than
to lose your health. But you will not lose the boat. I can run her while
you’re gone. Only three months! The doctor says he thinks that will
do.
Capt. M. I don’t know about your running the boat, Mary. Ours is a
thousand-mile trip, you know, next time, and it’s easier to come down
than it is to go up. The Yellow-red winds like a corkscrew.
Mary. I know that, William; but I think I can manage her. I have
done it; and here we are safe so far, and no accident yet.
Capt. M. (considering). This cargo is secure, and the next one all
promised. But I hate to leave you, Mary, and the baby.
Mary (to Patsy). Keep her on her course, boy! (To William) I hate
to have you go, William, only I know that it is for your good; and then,
if I go, you’ll have to give up the boat, and we shan’t have anything
to live on; and that will never do.
Capt. M. You’re right, Mary, as you always are.
(Enter Hank, the cook, with a waiter full of dishes.)
Hank. Here’s your lunch, sir.
Capt. M. Why, Hank! Have you come again? It isn’t more than half
an hour since I ate my breakfast.
Hank (drawling). Yes, it is, sir. It’s an hour. And the doctor says
you was to eat every hour.
Capt. M. (looks at the waiter). What have you got now?
Mary (to Patsy, hurriedly). Hard a-port, there! Give that snag a
wide berth! (She goes quickly towards the wheel-house.) Go below,
Patsy, and fire up, or we shan’t get to Munroe till moonrise. (Exit
Patsy, l., muttering.)
Hank (to William). Waal, tha’s some fixings the Indians say is
good for invaliges, and one on ’em showed me how to cook ’em.
Capt. M. What are they, Hank? Name over your bill of fare.
Hank. Waal, cap, this ere’s corn-pone, o’ coose; and a dodger or
so; a slice o’ bacon; a helter-skelter; some succotash; two frog’s legs
pealed and sizzled; a pigeon biled in milk; some baked punkin; eel’s
tails soused; and some no-cake.
Capt. M. What! what! what! Are you going to stuff me to death, or
poison me—which?
Hank. Oh, sir! you needn’t eat ’em all. The Injuns said if you eat
just the right thing for you, you’d be sure to get well.
Capt. M. I dare say. They’d cure a dog with their charms and their
notions.
Hank. Some of the vittals is good, and some pretty middlin’ poor,
but it’s all good for suthin’,— or the pigs!
Capt. M. (laughing). I shouldn’t wonder. (Looking over the waiter.)
What’s baked punkin for, Hank? It looks like raw, dried potato-
parings.
Hank. The Indians said ’twas to chaw, and give you an appetite.
Mary (from the wheel-house). What in the world are the soused
eel’s-tails for?
Hank. Oh, to make you feel lively, and cherk you up a little. They
make brains.
Capt. M. What next? What’s the no-cake for, and where is it?
Cake sounds kind o’ good. And hot biscuit. Mother’s hot biscuit! Oh!
how I should like some of them.
Hank. Well, the no-cake is that aire white stuff piled up on that aire
plate. It looks like something goodish; but when you chaw it, it feels
like sand. The Injuns eat it, and they said ’twould make the cap’n
sleep good.
Capt. M. I should think it would,—and dream of my grandmother. If
it chews like sand, it will be heavy enough.
Hank. There ain’t no decent vittals for a sick man to eat in these
diggings. ’Tain’t half so good as the Nantucket feed, such as my
marm used to cook.
Capt. M. Oh, Hank! don’t speak of it! How I should like some fried
perch,—some good fresh salt-water perch, with their heads on; and
some steamed clams, fresh-dug Nantucket clams, with the shells all
gaping at you. I feel as if I could eat a good four-quart tin pan full this
minute, shells and all.
Hank. I’d like to make you a rippin’ good chowder, sir. Such as we
have ter hum. What you want is real, good, hard, fresh cod-fish or
haddock, head and all, some white potatoes (none o’ your flat yellow
sweets), some onions, some Boston crackers, and a generous
rasher of salt strip pork (none o’ your middlings). But I can’t do it.
They never heerd of a Boston cracker, and there ain’t a decent piece
o’ fresh salt-water fish between here and Nantucket. Only this
darned canned stuff; and that’s enough to p’isen a feller.
Mary (to William, from the wheel-house). You’ll have some
chowder when you get home, dear; and you’ll eat again of all the old
New England food.
Hank. Oh, sir! you goin’ hum?
Capt. M. I think of it.
Mary (to Hank). Yes, he is going home; and pretty soon, too.
Hank. If you do, sir, I hope you’ll take a skip down to Nantucket,
and see my folks. Marm ’ll be mighty glad to see you. I’ll write to her,
and send her some money, and you can take the letter, sir, right
along. And please, sir, fetch me word how the old place looks, and if
marm seems comfortable.
Capt. M. Yes, Hank, I’ll take your letter; and if I can’t go to see
your mother, I will send it to her by express.
Hank. Thank you, sir, thank you; and if you should go to Annisport,
and see Miss Leafy Jane, please tell her I hain’t forgot her, and if you
can say I’ve been a good feller—and behaved tip-top—
Capt. M. Why, Hank! do you remember that little fly-away? You
steady old boy, you. Of course you’ve been a good fellow, and I’ll tell
her so,—if I see her,—but why don’t you write to her yourself?
Hank. Oh, sir! she might not like it.
Capt. M. That’s so. Well, do as you like, Hank. You can leave the
waiter. I will eat all I can of your concoctions. (Exit Hank, r.)
Capt. M. (turning towards Mary). I did not know that there was
any love-making in that quarter.
Mary. Nor I, neither.

ACT IV.
The same as in Act II. Enter Mary, l., with her hands full
of papers. She sits down at the table.
Mary. There! The bills of lading are signed, and all my accounts
are straight, so we are ready to begin again. But here we are, still
fast at New Orleans, when we ought to have got away three days
ago. For some reason or other I can’t get the cargo that was
promised, and so I have had to fill up with watermelons. Heavy,
unprofitable things! (Writes.) I wish I could hear from William. Poor
fellow! The doctor at home said he must take a sea-voyage; and he
has gone off with his father to the Grand Banks, fishing. I wish I
could see him!
(Enter Phus, r., bringing a large watermelon.)
Phus. Wattermillions is bos’; dey’s bos’ an’ cool.
Mary. Why, Phus, what do you want of that watermelon?
Phus. It’s such a golly big one; and den it’s marked so peart.
Mary. Why! there’s hundreds of them on board just as good.
Phus. O no! mis’, dere ain’t. Dis one hab de little Voudoo mark dat
show dey’s sweet; an’ I wanted de baby to stick his little toof in it, an’
suck de juice. Oh, Lors! (Smacks his lips and sings.)
“Some are pa’shel to de appel, oddahs clamor fo’ de plum;

Some fin’ ’joyment in de cherry, oddahs make de peaches hum;
Some git fas’ned to de onion, oddahs lub de arti-choke;
But my taste an’ wattahmillion er’ bound by a pleasant joke.
“Hit er meller, hit er juicy,

Hit er coolin’, hit er sweet!
Hit er painless ter de stummick—
Yo’ kin eat, an’ eat, an’ eat!”
I helped you bring ’em on board, didn’t I, mis’?
Mary. Yes, Phus; you’re always handy. I wish you could be the
mate, in Patsy’s place, and help me steer the boat.
Phus. Lor’ bress you, mis’! I couldn’t do dat. I should steer for all
de snags in de riber; an’ git twisted all up in de bay-yous, an’ run
inter all de san’bars.
Mary. Have you found anybody yet to take Patsy’s place, if he
leaves?
Phus. No, mis’. All de boys dey say as dey won’t be de mate to no
woman. Dey say you has no licens’, an’ can’t be de cap’n. An’ Mass’
Rumberg, he cum an’ take away de Keyhole’s Bride.
Mary. Oh, Phus! is that what they say? Then that is the reason
that I could not get the cargo that was promised here; and when they
knew, too, that I had been running the boat these three months all
alone!
Phus. When de cap’n cum hum?
Mary. Not until December, Phus.
Phus. Whar’s he, mis’, now?
Mary. Away out to sea, on a ship; not a steamboat—a sailing
vessel. The doctor said it would cure him if he took a sea-voyage.
Phus. Is de sea bigger dan de Missip’ or de Gulf Mex’?
Mary. Oh, yes, Phus! a good deal bigger, and wider, too. You can’t
see across.
Phus. O, sho!
Mary (rising and walking about). And the waves are so high! and
white on the top! and they come booming in on the rocks! and the
breeze! Oh! the breeze is so sweet, so salt, so fresh! It is enough to
do your soul good to smell it.
Phus. Golly! mis’. It mus’ be hunky, if it’s sweet, and salt, and
fresh, an’ comes in boomin’ at ye, on de rocks, all at once.
Mary (smiling). Better go out again, Phus, and look among the
boys for a mate.
Phus. Yes, mis’. (Exit r.)
Mary. I think I’ll write to mother, and tell her my troubles. If she
can’t help me any, it will do me good to write; and I can get Phus to
carry it to the Post Office before we start. (She writes.)
(Enter Mr. Romberg.)
Mr. R. (slowly and deliberately). Mrs. Miller, I came to see what
you were going to do about the boat. Your husband has been gone a
long time; and it seems there is no prospect of his immediate return.
So we might as well talk the matter over now as at any other time.
Mary (rises and offers him a seat). Mr. Romberg? I don’t know as
I have seen you before. You are the largest owner in the Creole
Bride, I believe? Why do you wish to know what I am going to do?
(Sitting.)
Mr. R. (sitting). I (and the other owners) don’t want the boat to be
eating her head off here at the wharf.
Mary. We shall not stay here longer than this afternoon. As soon
as I come to terms with my mate, I shall be ready to steam her up.
Mr. R. I don’t see how you can run this boat.
Mary (rising). Why not, sir? I have run her for the last three or four
months. I carried her ’way up the Red and Yellow, and down again to
Baton Rouge, through the most crooked part of our whole thousand-
mile route; and I steered most of the time myself. The mate don’t
know much about handling the wheel.
Mr. R. The merchants, I find, are not willing to trust you with a
cargo; so I don’t see but you will have to give it up. You won’t be able
to meet your payments; and I must look out for my own property, as
well as that of the rest of the owners, for it is all in my care.
Mary. Is not Mr. Miller’s contract as captain of the boat all right? It
does not expire till next year. He is all paid up to the first of the
month; and I hope to be able to pay the next quarter,—that is, if I can
go on running the boat.
Mr. R. Yes, madam; but you must understand that the contract is
with Captain Miller, and not with his wife; that is where the trouble is.
Husband and wife are not one in this business. Captain Miller’s
contract is all right, and he is paid up; but if he dies, the whole thing
will have to be settled.
Mary (alarmed). But my husband is not dead. He is not going to
die! Why can’t I run the boat up to Cairo? I have a full cargo, and
another is promised there. I know the route for the next three
months. I have been over it all.
Mr. R. (rising). Mrs. Miller, you cannot be a captain in name.
Mary. But, Mr. Romberg, I am the captain.
Mr. R. No, Mrs. Miller. You may run the boat, but you cannot act
as captain,—you have no license. The fact is, the law does not allow
it. That is what the owners say; and we consulted a lawyer, and he
gave it as his opinion, after careful consideration, that a woman
cannot be master of a vessel legally.
Mary. Then we must lose our chance of owning the boat; and I
cannot raise the money needed for the support of my poor sick
husband and my little baby,—just because I am a woman! Oh! Mr.
Romberg! this is hard indeed!
Mr. R. I suppose it is rather hard; but that is the way of the law, in
Louisiana, at least, and I think all over the United States. When our
fathers framed the constitution, they thought it was better that
woman should be confined to the domestic sphere. The home, the
home is their place,—not the decks of vessels. They wanted to
protect women in their proper sphere.
Mary. Protect them! Hinder them, I should think!
Mr. R. (approaching Mary). If Captain Miller, now, were not living,
you might find some likely river-man to marry you, and be captain of
the boat, in name; and then you could keep on acting as master,—
your mate, perhaps,—then you’d be all right.
Mary. Marry! The mate! Patsy! Oh, Mr. Romberg! Oh, sir! what do
you mean?
Mr. R. (aside). Gad! the women are all alike. How they stick to
one man! (To her) I don’t see what else you can do.
Mary. There was Captain Tucker’s wife; after he died she took the
boat.
Mr. R. Yes, but she did not run it long; all of us owners objected to
a petticoat captain, and we discharged her.
Mary (severely). Then what has become of her and all her six
children?
Mr. R. Oh, she tends in a lager-beer saloon in Natchez.
Mary (indignantly). Yes, and I suppose her children are given
away or put out to service—all because she is a woman! She has to
do this degrading work to get an honest living, and all because you
wouldn’t allow her to do the only work she always had done and was
best fitted to do. She run the boat three years before her husband
died.
Mr. R. Well, she might have married and had some one to be her
captain. The merchants sent one of their best river-men to marry her,
but she ordered him off the boat.
Mary. I don’t blame her!
Mr. R. There ain’t much a woman can do round here but get
married. There’s many a likely man that is not a river-man who would
like to get a good smart Yankee woman like you.
Mary (sharply). Mr. Romberg! what do you mean?
Mr. R. I mean, of course, if your husband does not come back,
which seems most likely—
Mary (turning away). Oh! What shall I do?
Mr. R. My dear Mrs. Miller! you must be as wise as a serpent as
well as harmless as a dove.
Mary. Oh, sir! how can I be wise without money, without friends,
with my hands tied by a little child, and my means of earning a living
taken away?
Mr. R. Well, there is a month or two yet before I shall be obliged
to ask you to give up your husband’s papers. Meanwhile, you can go
on to Cairo, and come back; go along the Red and Yellow, and leave
your cargo. You needn’t take on any more. I’ll see you again when
you come down to New Orleans; and then, if your husband has not
returned, we must close up our accounts. That is what the rest of the
owners say, and I agree.
Mary. Oh, Mr. Romberg! is there nothing I can do to keep the
boat? Can I not get a license? Did a woman never have a captain’s
license?
Mr. R. I never heard of one. And I don’t think there ever was one.
It would be absurd! But I must bid you good-morning.
Mary. Good-morning, sir. (Exit Mr. Romberg, r.) Indeed! what
kind of a woman does he take me to be! Telling me about marrying
another man so as to have a captain! I will show him that I can be
master of my own boat. I go into a lager-beer saloon! As Mary
Gandy I would not have done it; and as Mary Miller I certainly shall
not. I give up the boat! My William’s boat? Never! Unless they put
me on shore by force. Why cannot I get a license? I’ll try! and then, if
worst comes to worst, I must make my way somehow back home
again. If I could only hear from mother! (Sits down at the table—
arranges papers.)
(Enter Phus, r.)
Phus. O, Lor’! Mis’ Miller! Here’s suthin’ I forgits. I met de pos’-
man out here, an’ he holl’d at me (She does not look up.)—“Har, you
nig!” I looks round, and sez: “Whar? whar? I dun’ see no nig.” He laf,
an’ sez, “You know who dat is?” “Whar?” sez I. “On dis let’,” sez he.
“No,” sez I; “who is it?” “It’s Mrs. Mary Miller,” sez he. “Lor’,” sez I,
“dat’s my cap’n’s mis’; gib it yere.” “Well, fotch it, then,” sez he, “an’
be darn quick ’bout it.” “I will,” sez I. (Mary looks up.)
Mary. A letter? Oh, give it to me! How long have you had it?
Phus. Jes dis minit, mis’.
Mary (tearing the envelope). From home, and written by dear
brother John. Dear little fellow! (Reads.)
Dear Mary,—
Mother wants me to write. She says: Tell Mary that I talked it all
over with your father, and he asked old Pete Rosson, and then I wrote
to the lecture woman up to Boston, and she says you must have a
captain’s license so’s you can keep the boat. And she says you must
apply to the Local Inspectors (here is a blank for you to fill out), and
that if you pass your examination they will see that it is sent to
Washington to the Solicitor of the Treasury. You must write to Mr. Le
Brun or Mr. Cholmly, Local Inspectors, New Orleans, La. Do it right off
before Mr. Romberg gets a chance to take away the boat. And oh!
mother says you must sign your own name to the application—Mary
Miller, or Mary Gandy Miller (’cause it isn’t legal to sign your
husband’s name, and Mrs. is nothing but a title). She’s found out that
a woman has no more right, legally, to use her husband’s first name
and title than he has to use hers. She says Martha Washington had
more sense than to call herself Mrs. George, or Mrs. General, or Mrs.
President Washington. Plain Martha Washington was good enough for
her. And oh! the folks round here are real proud of you, to think you
can manage a steamboat, and old Pete Rosson says “it’s a darned
shame you have such a hard time, and he hopes you won’t give up
the ship.” He expects to go to the Legislature this winter, and he says
“if the men at Washington don’t let you have the captain’s license, he’ll
vote agin every mother’s son on ’em.”
Yours, as usual,
John Quincy Adams Gandy.
Mary (folding the letter). Dear, dear folks at home! How good they
are to tell me just what to do! I must write my application at once.
(Sits down at the table.)
Phus. Is de folks well, mis’, an’ de cap’n?
Mary (writing). Yes, Phus, the folks are well; but the letter is not
from the captain. I do not expect to hear from him at present.
Phus. O, Lor’! mis, is dat so?
Mary. Yes, Phus. You wait round till I get this letter done, then you
carry it to the post-office. I want an answer from it, right off, as soon
as I can get it.
Phus. Yes, mis’. (He goes out, l., keeps popping his head in and
tiptoeing round.)
Mary (folding up the letter, and putting it in a long envelope).
There! my blank is all filled out, and my letter written; both signed
plain Mary Miller, which means to me (sighing) that I must hereafter
stand alone,—legally, at any rate, and take the responsibility of all
my actions. No more hiding behind a husband’s or a father’s name.
Plain Mary Miller! A good name, and I must show that I am worthy of
it. (To Phus) There, be as quick as you can; and then come back
here and take care of the baby while I go on deck. (She goes to the
cradle.)
Phus. Yes, mis’! I’m skippin’. (Exit r.)
Curtain.
ACT V.
Same as in Act III., with the addition of a hammock slung

near the wheel-house, containing the baby. Enter
Mary from the wheel-house with a small sailor hat
and reefer on. She takes them off, and lays them on a
chair as she talks.
Mary. Here we are at last, safe at New Orleans. I wish I could
hear from Washington; and why don’t I hear from William? I sent
home the last money I had saved up, and I shall have no more if
they take the boat away. I can’t give her up! And I can’t do anything
else to earn a living. This is my business—my life.
(Enter Phus, l.)
Phus. Oh, mis’! Pats he say he won’t help unload de boat; an’ I
can’t get nobody to help, as you tole me. Dey all say dey won’t be
bos’ by no woman.
Mary (sighs). Well, Phus, you’re willing to work for me, ain’t you?
You won’t leave your mistress, will you?
Phus. Neber! No, mis’! I allus work for you an’ de cap’n an’ de
baby. Hank, too, he stay. He ben hawlin out de cargo like sixty. He
say wimmin good ’nough for him. He ruther be cook to wimmin bos’;
cos dey knows more ’bout de fixin’s, an’ dey neber sez, “darn dat
stuff.”
Mary. Phus, you run and tell Patsy he can go. He’s all paid up;
and I don’t want him any more. And, here! take my reefer and hat
down into the cabin. I shan’t want them at present.
Phus. Yes, mis’. (He goes out, r.)
Mary (swinging the hammock gently). Must I leave my happy
home, where I came a bride? (Leans over the baby) My baby’s
birthplace? Why! I love every timber in this tight little steamboat. She
is as dear to me as one of the biggest houses on the river is to the
fine lady who lives in it.
Phus (re-entering). Oh, mis’! Pats he say he will go wid you up
riber a piece, to where he woman lib, an’ get off dar.
Mary. Very well. I’ll see him by and by; but I don’t know as I shall
want him. Oh! if my license would only come!
Phus. You licens’, mis; wot’s you licens’?
Mary (sadly). Why, Phus, I have asked the big men at Washington
to give me a license; same as the other river-captains have.
Phus (whimpering). Oh, Lor’, mis, bress de Lor’! I hope it’ll cum.
(Sits on floor at r., and sings softly.)
Bring ’long de licens’,—’Lijah cum down.
(Takes a book from his pocket, sits on floor at r., and reads with a
great deal of action.)
Mary (looking at him). Poor Phus! If the big men at Washington
could only see me as he sees me, and know, as he knows, how well
I can handle a boat, they would very soon say yes to my application.
(Enter Mr. Romberg, l.)
Mr. R. Good-day, Mrs. Miller. I am sorry to be obliged to proceed
against you, and ask you to deliver up your husband’s papers. I
might be willing to wait a little longer; but the other owners are not
satisfied. They say that as you cannot get a captain’s license, some
man must take the boat.
Mary. Cannot get a captain’s license? How do you know that? I
have applied for one; and am expecting every minute to hear from
Washington.
Mr. R. I know that. Here is the Delta with a long account of your
case, and the decision of the Solicitor of the Treasury.
Mary (coming forward). Let me see it! I have heard nothing about
it. We have had no mail since we got in.

Px + Qx = Rx P cos 30 Q sin 30 = 360 cos 25

Solution is: P = 717 lb J Q = 590 lb J

Solution is: P = 74:3 lb J Q = 69:9 lb J

The forces must be concurrent. From geometry:

h = (4 + b) tan 40 = (6 b) tan 50 ) b = 1:8682 m J

R= F = (25 cos 40 + 60 cos 69:22 80 cos 50 )i
