Mr. Star." (1)
2312 • H&G May 8:2/3,4 - The BUNKER HILL arrived last evening and left
today for Buffalo. We are glad to learn that she was removed from
Long Point where she was unfortunately run ashore on Apr. 23 during a

resume her regular trips as one of the staunchest, fastest, and best (2)
conditioned crafts on the lake.

5, the committee on wharves made a report on the alternative to pay
Ohio City $67.50, being one·half of the expenses of running the lower
ferry last year, or $54.17, the amount agreed upon by the council. It
was agreed to pay the latter sum. (1)
2314 - H&G May 8:2/4 - At a special meeting of the city council on May
5, Mr. Hall's resolution was adopted providing that the committee on
harbors be authorized to prepare a conditional lease of land at the

ferry boat, the expense of the lease and the building of the slip not
to exceed $350. (2)
2315 - H&G May 8: 2/4 - The SUPERIOR, a very good looking ship, arrived

2317 - H&G May 11:2/3 - The boats begin to carry better loads than they
have done thus far this season. Emigrants however are by no means so
numerous as at the opening of navigation last year. (verbatim) (1)
2318 - H&G May 12: 2/2 - The BUNKER HILL has resumed her trips. She
came up last night with a very large load of freight and passengers. It is
an evidence of the strength with which the BUNKER HILL was constructed
that she was not in the least strained by the accident on Long Point,
nor has she leaked at all since she was got off.
Freights and the number of passengers by the steam-boats are increasing.
