several men were under the launch

was small. but Roberts considered it
ample and headed the launch mid way
between the two big boats.
AS the launch ran outafrom the pro-

swept it against the stern of the river
steamer. The Apache's wheel was re-

Roberts could twist his wheel the
launch was directly under the great
