tide carried her nearly 20 Governors Island and
she fought every inch Of the way TO get across On
the turn she was carried back beyond Fort wads-

finish. she hauled into the boat that had been
following her.
Vera went off the float at Fort Hamilton al SOC
and had much the same experiences as her little
sister but she managed to finish Fort Wads-
