The Israelis have promised that they will not touch any of the civilian equipment before withdrawing...
Despite sleet and freezing drizzle, some 10,000 spectators watched at Griffin's Wharf while history buffs crept aboard the 97-ft. brigantine Beaver II, a replica of one of the three ships sacked in 1773. Like the 18th century patriots, the raiders masqueraded as Indians...
