McKinney Bayou (Arkansas) — April 23, 1897

Judge Lawrence A. Byrne of Texarkana, Arkansas, was surveying a tract of land when he saw a peculiar object anchored on the ground. “It was manned by three men who spoke a foreign language, but judging from their looks, one would take them to be Japs.” (Farish, in Allende Letters (Award Special, 1968))
