In the days of Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, life on a steamboat on
the Mississippi River was 41
. One of the most exciting 42

twenty-one hours, and fifty-eight minutes. John Cannon, 44
of the Robert E. Lee felt
sure that he could 45
this time and challenged the captain of the Natchez.
46
his boat light, Captain Cannon 47
no passengers 48
; he did not 49
the
usual goods. Moreover, he had crews with supplies of coal waiting on floats along the river
so that the boat would not have to put it to shore for 50
.
The race began on June 30, 1870. Being lighter than the Natchez, the Lee jumped
into an early lead. For three days the race continued, 51
the boats travelling at full
steam. They were 52
each other the whole time, 53
short spaces when bends in the
river hid one or the other from view.
Then only a few hours from its goal, the Natchez 54
a rock and ran aground (搁浅) .
The Lee steamed proudly into St. Louis in exactly three days, eighteen hours, and thirty
minutes after she had left New Orleans. Bell rang, and people called 55
the boat
named after the general 56
as an army engineer had prevented the river from changing
its course and St. Louis 57
becoming an inland town.
The Lee 58
a good record---one that brought honor to all rivermen. However, the
great day of the river steamers was drawing to 59
