from time to time | 5 |
i never heard of | 5 |
the river as a | 5 |
the reputation of being | 5 |
that of any other | 5 |

in spite of the | 5 |

the result that the | 5 |
first time i ever | 5 |
a great deal of | 5 |
of the jessie drew | 5 |
but by and by | 5 |
the state of mississippi | 5 |
banks of the mississippi | 5 |
sides of the river | 5 |
for he was the | 5 |

the inside of the | 5 |
the man who had | 5 |
the wreck of the | 5 |

that part of the | 5 |
there seemed to be | 5 |
a mile or more | 5 |
the first time he | 5 |
he said to the | 5 |
to new orleans and | 5 |
a few years later | 5 |
at the bottom of | 5 |
of the same sort | 5 |

one thing in this | 5 |
in a state of | 5 |
this stage of the | 5 |
to the side of | 5 |

three or four hundred | 5 |
head of the lake | 5 |
of the river as | 5 |
to go up the | 5 |
a great number of | 5 |
of the river to | 5 |
side of the wheel | 5 |
i noticed that the | 5 |
the life of a | 5 |
end of the river | 5 |
in a way to | 5 |
the hands of the | 5 |
thing in this world | 5 |
soon as the boat | 5 |

it is a very | 5 |
the form of the | 5 |
at fort snelling may | 5 |
by the light of | 5 |
to look at it | 5 |
in addition to the | 5 |
missouri river trade and | 5 |

he was at the | 3 |
the engineer on watch | 3 |
would not be able | 3 |
that he was not | 3 |

of the whole country | 3 |
when the time came | 3 |
as i have before | 3 |
i started out to | 3 |

never was such a | 3 |
a short distance below | 3 |
i was a little | 3 |
to be a steamboatman | 3 |
work or the higher | 3 |
procession of foreign tourists | 3 |
each end of the | 3 |
captain daniel smith harris | 3 |
would have been better | 3 |
see if there was | 3 |

it would seem that | 3 |
was a boy again | 3 |
all the way down | 3 |
blown into the river | 3 |
inch of mud in | 3 |
above the falls of | 3 |

be depended upon to | 3 |
snagged and sunk at | 3 |

can the state do | 3 |
to be a capable | 3 |
there was no bottom | 3 |
down to the front | 3 |
it is a thing | 3 |
while on the river | 3 |
of the best and | 3 |
the storm was on | 3 |
in half a minute | 3 |
who did not know | 3 |
as it was then | 3 |
the same direction as | 3 |
to look at him | 3 |

a portion of the | 3 |
i wonder if he | 3 |

for she was a | 3 |
the association and the | 3 |
but it was too | 3 |
safe to say that | 3 |
was in great ice | 3 |
the river as he | 3 |
for the protection of | 3 |
the back of his | 3 |
him up to the | 3 |

by the side of | 3 |
about to make a | 3 |
you can tell a | 3 |
the handling of a | 3 |
young firemen of lakeville | 3 |

lying at the levee | 3 |
in the handling of | 3 |
to five hundred dollars | 3 |
of the banks of | 3 |
the harbor master and | 3 |
would you like to | 3 |
he asked of nat | 3 |
in the interest of | 3 |

ground work or the | 3 |
if you will take | 3 |
it off when i | 3 |
it is easy to | 3 |
he told me to | 3 |
the hull of the | 3 |
seen a human being | 3 |
new orleans and st | 3 |
up two or three | 3 |
the names of all | 3 |
of rope in his | 3 |
want to be careful | 3 |
some believed in the | 3 |
them for their good | 3 |
it is safe to | 3 |
if the boat was | 3 |
would have saved them | 3 |
to three or four | 3 |
in my time they | 3 |
and started up the | 3 |
going to give him | 3 |
many of them had | 3 |
seem to be any | 3 |
in the opposite direction | 3 |
in order to be | 3 |
way up the river | 3 |
but it is a | 3 |
at the mouth of | 3 |
about half an hour | 3 |
part of the mississippi | 3 |
to put up with | 3 |
but i had never | 3 |
a large number of | 3 |
but i shall have | 3 |
and a half inches | 3 |
boats on the upper | 3 |

his conviction and sentence | 3 |
the higher branches of | 3 |
the mississippi and the | 3 |
the evening of the | 3 |
into the form of | 3 |
miles down the river | 3 |
to the dock where | 3 |
after that i was | 3 |
time and attention to | 3 |
of a time when | 3 |
so much of the | 3 |
every part of the | 3 |
down from the pilot | 3 |
there was plenty of | 3 |
the mermaid was a | 3 |
asked the harbor master | 3 |
passengers at an average | 3 |
but while i was | 3 |
of the science of | 3 |
any or all of | 3 |
a piece of river | 3 |
was on the right | 3 |
came back to the | 3 |
conviction and sentence to | 3 |
that kind of a | 3 |
of mud in the | 3 |
to go out in | 3 |
would have been an | 3 |
interest ranging from to | 3 |
i hope you will | 3 |
and the shape of | 3 |
the united states army | 3 |
was one of my | 3 |
a long time afterward | 3 |
feet above the river | 3 |
have heard of the | 3 |
the boiler deck of | 3 |
the fame of the | 3 |
an inch of mud | 3 |
at the bow of | 3 |

of the boat would | 3 |
of the lower mississippi | 3 |
up to that time | 3 |
he gave me a | 3 |
and in a very | 3 |
was the first time | 3 |
of the season the | 3 |
it would take him | 3 |
sam fell into the | 3 |
i was in cincinnati | 3 |

it is a wonderful | 3 |
there is in the | 3 |
on the slope of | 3 |
all there is of | 3 |
forty or fifty years | 3 |
of the crew of | 3 |
at the time that | 3 |
he went to the | 3 |

feet above the level | 3 |
went on captain marshall | 3 |
when you will be | 3 |
in the autumn of | 3 |
at a cost of | 3 |
the new orleans times | 3 |
where they had been | 3 |
with a quick motion | 3 |
from bad to worse | 3 |
i have heard of | 3 |
the envy of all | 3 |
it in a way | 3 |
always be one or | 3 |
in the beginning of | 3 |
i think it was | 3 |
the passengers and crew | 3 |
every man on the | 3 |
there never was such | 3 |
three hundred and sixty | 3 |
fifty feet of it | 3 |
he fell to the | 3 |
if he can go | 3 |
as well as i | 3 |
of the boat as | 3 |
a job on a | 3 |
but as i had | 3 |
in iowa and minnesota | 3 |
and admiration of the | 3 |
it came from the | 3 |
a small portion of | 3 |
if i had been | 3 |
the freight and passengers | 3 |
to get a glimpse | 3 |
course of two or | 3 |
and as long as | 3 |
within ten miles of | 3 |
the risk of his | 3 |
answering to the boiler | 3 |
is a thing which | 3 |
that it may be | 3 |
do you think you | 3 |
it is that the | 3 |
we were struck by | 3 |
the building of the | 3 |
harbor master and his | 3 |
will be all right | 3 |
it by and large | 3 |
advance even of planting | 3 |
on the east side | 3 |
the run from st | 3 |
here and there and | 3 |
to the foot of | 3 |
a proud thing to | 3 |
justice of the peace | 3 |
where the people are | 3 |
by the young ladies | 3 |
to know how a | 3 |
the tongue of the | 3 |
about this time a | 3 |
and sentence to the | 3 |
once in a while | 3 |
i had ever experienced | 3 |
as if he were | 3 |

in a cold sweat | 3 |
and had never been | 3 |
a few of the | 3 |
just in time to | 3 |
to this side and | 3 |
as a young man | 3 |
when i saw the | 3 |
the river that was | 3 |
determined to get a | 3 |
fifty dollars a month | 3 |
the captain and his | 3 |
and it is said | 3 |
floor of the hold | 3 |
which i had been | 3 |
the next moment we | 3 |
either side of him | 3 |
must do the best | 3 |
the wind was blowing | 3 |
away down the river | 3 |
rest till he had | 3 |
to find fault with | 3 |
less than a quarter | 3 |
a piece of the | 3 |
one of the worst | 3 |
if i had not | 3 |
there was no such | 3 |
the boat was not | 3 |

of the captain was | 3 |
wish i may die | 3 |
their crops in advance | 3 |

the sides of the | 3 |
but it did not | 3 |
he was about to | 3 |
a moment or two | 3 |
the work of river | 3 |

when i had been | 3 |
to me that i | 3 |
the middle of a | 3 |
i have heard it | 3 |
so we had to | 3 |
jumped up and cracked | 3 |
and many of them | 3 |
his way to the | 3 |
down into the black | 3 |
did not think of | 3 |
on with his work | 3 |
rope attached to the | 3 |
i could not understand | 3 |
the old man and | 3 |
sent out by the | 3 |
he went to his | 3 |
and he had the | 3 |
by a pair of | 3 |
dozen or so of | 3 |
what he would do | 3 |
as i know the | 3 |
captain was on the | 3 |
the memory of it | 3 |
mean to say that | 3 |
he was trying to | 3 |
what can the state | 3 |
a matter of thirty | 3 |
and there and yonder | 3 |
i used to know | 3 |
i would not have | 3 |

the depth of water | 3 |
to take the wheel | 3 |

to heave the lead | 3 |
dropped out of my | 3 |
not know what to | 3 |
and he told them | 3 |
when i thought of | 3 |

to peer through the | 3 |
a term of years | 3 |
to add to the | 3 |
a number of years | 3 |

mud in the bottom | 3 |
it may be that | 3 |
i want you to | 3 |

a day or two | 3 |
he would have said | 3 |
in speaking of the | 3 |
a long time ago | 3 |
had never seen him | 3 |
when he first came | 3 |
went back to the | 3 |
blow on the head | 3 |
of what had been | 3 |

and such silence it | 2 |
of jaded summer tourists | 2 |
i could not recall | 2 |
he fell into serious | 2 |
their meaning has been | 2 |

of miles of water | 2 |
of the haw perfumed | 2 |
that will be all | 2 |
piece of the wreck | 2 |
but let me look | 2 |

in a certain part | 2 |
blotted out and gone | 2 |
till it came to | 2 |

being fatally too late | 2 |
the end of his | 2 |
page was so full | 2 |
was able to imagine | 2 |
no further than the | 2 |
but i am deeply | 2 |
long the fearful scene | 2 |
