was
plenty
of
room
for
Pheasant
to
so
between
the
t'hfvrolet
Pontiac
boat
began
to
swing
sideways.
Her
nose
caught
the
first
of
the
two
rocks
on
one
side
and
she
swung
like
a
gate
broadside
to
the
current.
Force
of
the
water
lilted
the
Pheasant
onto
the
third
rock
that
was
projecting
out
of
the
water
about
eighteen
inches.
With
all
the
weisht
bearing
down
on
the
pinnacle
of
rock
the
ends
of
ths
boat
began
to
sag,
the
window
shattered
under
the
strain
and
the
buckled
smoke-stack
came
crashing
down.
Partially
dammed
by
the
broadside
of
the
Pheasant,
the
water
plied
up
and
pushed
the
stricken
craft
on
over

rock.
But
the
Pheasant
had
been

it
seemed
as
though

With

Just

a

helpless
ship
beneath

the
chances
of
coming

not
rate

Fortunately

close

So
now
the
bones
