No

could
be
made
against
j
the
raging
storm
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
two
vessels
were
drifting
backwards
At
2
p.m.
the
barge
struck
bottom
and
the
tow
line
parted.
The
captain
of
the
barge
thereupon
let
go
both
of
his
anchors
but
the
chains
parted
and
the
unwieldy
craft
pounded
toward
shore
at
the
mouth
of
the

River.
The
crew
lowered
one
of
the
life
boats
and
made
shore.
It
was
remarkable
How
the

boat
came
through
the
heavy
sea
that
was
running.

The
Pezuta
is

to
