20 10 help pump the water, and gentlemen go and
begin TO work as hard as they can 81 night. They
promised them At daylight they should do differently
they would TX that. When 1t came daylight they
DIDN'T do differently Then they told them two or three
hours more and we could be saved and the poor gen
