RIVER PILOT 
satevepost , September 21, 1940
Collection of #georgelucas 

In the story "River Pilot," young Jem Bates faces his first test of #manhood . Newly credentialed as a #riverpilot, he aims to prove the worthiness of his old-time paddle wheeler by beating a new, propeller-driven vessel in a #race up the flooded #Connecticut River. The stakes are high---the winner will be awarded a lucrative express freight contract. Against all advice, he heads out, banking on his knowledge of the river to avoid sandbars and floating debris. It is a story of #romance and #duty in which #tradition triumphs over #technology.
