was well under way the daring Confed-
crates boarded their boats and rowed
on up the river with their prisoners
In the hurry of leaving the ship they
had put into one Of the boats eighteen
prisoners, one OF whom was an engineer

Allen noticed that there were but two

opportunity he seized q cutlass from
