All eyes and glasses are closely observing both shores, in the vicinity of Paddy's Hen and chickens --a cluster of islands — and on the look-out for the first glimpse of Memphis. There's Memphis! Don't you see the lights on the Bluff? says First Master Bates, who is on watch. Sure enough, the lights are visible; we are before Memphis at 8.45 P. M., only four miles above the city.
