The "misunderstanding" in Philadelphia revealed that the Fisher brothers had taken...
...township line, and returned immediately, a distance of six miles, at a speed of about 28 miles to the hour, her speed having been slackened at all the road crossings, and it being after dark, but a portion of her power was used. It is needless to say that the spectators were delighted...
