There was also a vague feeling that something terrible must surely happen to the "monster which defied storm and tide and belched forth fire andj smoke." ROBERT FULTON 47 The fare was just the same as that on the sailboats, three dollars, but it took sailboats, on the average, forty  eight hours to make the trip, and the average time of the Clermont was only thirty six hours. It was not long be  fore she was crowded.
