Why, for "old England's sake" does Robin

always respect the bishops, other churchmen,

on which the program is supposed to be based,
Robin robbed from anyone, as long as they

realistic?

Many of the passengers who had

lima and the next trip was to be a
race between. the two as to which
would arrive at st. Louis and later
at New Orleans first.
On April &c, 1888, the Moselle left
the landing at Cincinnati with about
300 passengers aboard and moved a
mile upriver to take on a German
family there who were bound for ST.
Louis. One passenger who knew some
thing about steamboating noticed that
the boat had an unusually high head
of steam, and fearing what might
happen left the boat where the Ger
mans were picked up.
Then with a passenger list mostly
of Germans bound for st. Louis, Cap
tain Perrin backed the big boat
around, turned it wide. and started
the trip down stream, smoke pouring
from the stacks,
The North Carolina had just pulled
away from the Cincinnati landing and
was moving on down river when the
Moselle came even with the cheering
crowds still lining the riverbank in
front of the downtown part of the city.
Then all four of her boilers blew up
together and the whole boat burst
into fragments. Old accounts relate
that it was the greatest explosion in
the history of steam-as if mine of
gunpowder had burst beneath the
river. Only the after-part of the boat
remained intalt.

Many of the passengers on the
after-part of the boat jumped into
the river and few reached shore. An
eyewitness related that he saw 60 or
70 in the water at one time. Arms,
legs and other detached parts of
bodies Uttered the river bank and
there lay 20 or 30 mangled and bleed

drag others from the wreck or the

afterwards were buried in one grave,

German river along which good
wine was made, the Moselle was the
pride of the Ohio River Its owners
and many other old river steamboat
men believed it the fastest and finest
boat on the rivers between Pittsburgh
and New Orleans, fame that was
