The White Rose of Memphis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530945399)

"SPEAK it out, captain; I know by your looks you have something to say, and I am full of curiosity to hear it." "Very true, my dear fellow; I have at last hit on a scheme which I think will prove very profitable, and will be glad to take you in as an equal partner." "Glad to hear it; I am ready for anything to make an honest living." "I have chartered the best boat on the river, and mean to put her to work on the line between here and New Orleans, and shall of course be her commander, and would be glad to have you take charge of the office, and we will divide profits." "I am truly grateful, captain, for the manifestation of confidence contained in your offer, and will gladly undertake the business." "Very good; then we may consider it settled so far. The next thing to be done is to get up a handsome advertisement, and meantime the boat must be re-painted, re-furnished and overhauled generally."
