vilted state. Then Bacchus turned them
over to Morpheus for the night.

boat he ventured out in Council Bend,

struck an old sunken barge, which pene-
trated her hull, causing her to ship
water very rapidly. She was ran over
to the Arkansas shore, where she finally
settled. The passengers baggage and
light freight on the boiler deck were
transferred to the shore. The cotton

saved in a damaged condition. The
