Here's the rest of the story to
"The Great Sapelo River Bust"

It has come to our attention that the last several lines of the story in the fall issue of McIntosh Life magazine were left out by the time it got to the printer. It was there when we proofed it!

The following is the last paragraph:

“There were a few minutes of violent scuffling before about half of the smugglers surrendered. The other smugglers headed into the woods and some stole boats. It was reported they had a dreadful night battling mosquitoes, bobcats, rattlesnakes and a million seed ticks. Except for a couple of smugglers who escaped, the others surrendered the next day.”
