way of the big slde-wheeler. Below the
stakeboat Manxanlta the Potter ran
down the yacht Oriole. The Oriole's
men declare the Potter made no effort
to avoid the yacht, and state that her
wheels were turning when she struck
the Oriole. The yacht's crew succeed

I ever saw," said a member of the crew
