With little money but plenty of boyish zeal, Pregracke began to enlarge upon his ambitions. He hunted up a couple of outboard motors, the barges, two aluminum runabouts and an Army-surplus bridge-building boat, which he equipped with a John Deere combine cab to make a sort of tugboat. He raised a sinking houseboat, made it seaworthy, assembled an eager young crew and hit the river--vowing to spend his summers on the water until the job was done...

...haircuts. Whiting, burly, with a broken nose, speaks fluent rough-and-tumble French that he learned in the legion while serving on Mururoa. Baker, a lean, hard mountain climber with a seen-better, seen-worse expression, speaks nothing but rich, working-class Sussex. Someone says, "Cheers," Baker revs the outboard and the little inflatable, low in the water, rocks away on the swell, towing the kayaks toward Mururoa.
