robber or assassin. He possessed thousand pounds

contain sufficient quantity VI water TO float her.
That the depth need not be very great for the hull
being empty, the draft Of water would be slight and
that her specific gravity might be lessened and
her floating rendered more easy by attaching to her
sides number of lighters.
