Atlantic City Review
An elderly gentleman andhis daugh-
ter, residents of an inferior town in
Pennsylvania, came to Atlantic City
a few days ago, and feeling that a
hotel where they could eRjoy the sight
of an ocean from the house, as we'll as
enjoy its cooling breezes and engage in
boating and fishing as well as bathing,
would add to their enjoyment, en-
gagged rooms at the New Inlet House.
Saturday morning thoy started out for
a bath. The ola gentleman wa feel

the surf, where the brokers we're
rolling heavily. They procured bath
ing-sults near Massachusetts, avenue
and walked down to q point neal the
hotel, between the inlet pier and the
lighthouse. Here the water appeared
to be calm and the surf looked
pleasant and safe. This, however, is
not bathing ground, and while appar
emily smooth and calm, is the entrance
to the inlet. and the shifting
bar makes the SPOT a t%reacherous
one and not desirable for bathing pur-
poses. They entered the water, and
the young lady, who is an expert
swimmer, enjoved her plunge in the
surf hugely. She padded around her
father, and both felt that they must
leave the water, and the girl said.
"Pap, III swim out a few yards and
return to you" She accordingly
dashed out a few yards and on her re.
turn was surprised to find i,or father
was nowhere to DO e,nnd. AS She
looked around fo' sim .be suddenly

! Alone and unaided she drew him on

education came into play, and by
means Of her acquired knowledge she
was able to restore him to conscious
ness. and he was presently able to re-
turn to the boathouse, where they
both exchanged their clothing and
returned to the New Inlet House.
At the personal request Of the young
lady, her name and that OF her fathers
are suppressed.

The foregoing sketch was written
without consultation with, or the
knowledge Of, DIR. Robinson or his
family or his most intimate friends.
DIR. Robinson had declined forgive to
the agent Of the Cyclopedia the in
formation desired, because ola settled
aversion to having anything in print
that was personal to himself. His
family, knowing this, had refused to
help the agent; and the writer of the
article emily did it to aver the appear
ance in permanent form Of a very in
complete, inaccurate and crude sketch
Of one of the great men Of Kentucky,
which the agent had prepared from
insufficient data. The authorship of
the article above was concealed from
the public for three years; but about
q year ago a friend borrowed a COPY of
the work and showed the sketch to
DR.. Robinson. 1t met his approba-
ton, so far as any purely personal
article could.
DR.. Robinson was a native of Ire
land, born in November, 1914. He
was an infant immigrant to America,
brought to New York City when nine
months old. Soon after happened the
accident which made him a cripple
for life, and noticeably so when speak

During the rest of Lis life he wal

very gestures if he raised his righi

This elegantly appointed steamer,
and, by the way, one of the finest and
most co mplete sternwheel boats ever
built, has been in retirement
the Fast three months, during the
greater portion of which time she
has been in the hands Of our home
mechanics, who have done faithful
and honest work, as will be seen by
those who will take the trouble to ex-
anime for themselves. Captain Milt
r. Harry, her owner and commander,
supervised all the work that was
done on her, and has spared
neither time, labor or expense in try
ing to make her surpass in point Of
beauty and finish that Of any packet
running from this port. Her ma.
chinery was all taken apart and
thoroughly o~verhauled, besides a new
and larger wheel has been built, which
it is said will run her at least two
miles an hour faster than before in
fact, she is expected TO make railroad
time. Her hull is as strong as the
day she first came from the builders
hands, not a single decayed timber to
be found. Her hold has been
whitewashed and looks neat and fresh.
In the cabin a new and beautiful vel

is as cosy and pleasant as the

rest assured Of comfortable accom-
modations. The painting, which was
done by Mr.. james Degnan and his
corps Of able artists, reflects much
credit on this young man who has
earned a reputation for steamboat
painting that will yet make him his
fortune. Six coats Of paint, (none
but the best material being used,(
have been put in her cabin and
two coats on the outside. The
panels of the stateroom doors
are painted to resemble mahog-
any and walnut which together
with the gliding makes her to outshine
some of the crack packets running in

chairs have also been vanished and
reprinted, and everything looks new.

considers the best job turned out since
the days of the Ruth, which he ran in

the work done on his side Of the boat,
and his to-day is one of the neatest

stock of liquors, cigars, etc., and will
