...coil boiler which has a habit of bursting about every other day. The virtue of being able to get up steam in a few minutes has to be paid for by an uncertainty of keeping it up. The cost of keeping the boat in repair is fully equal to that of running her. She is not a good boat for cold weather. There is no house over the running gear, so that the many water pipes around the engine are liable to freeze on a cold night and burst...

The sentiment is not false nor overdone, as the title of the play might lead one to expect. The work of the museum company was equal, and the acting of no one in the cast was positively bad. Perhaps the most praise is due to Mr. Wilson, whose impersonation of the barrister Dick Pheny, though once or twice slightly coarse, leaves little to be desired. Miss O'Leary as Lavender, and Miss Sheridan as Minnie Gilfillian...
