Re: shots across the bow of the Steamer Sky Lark

This might misstate the name of the steamer.

In April 1861, Bocage received a telegram from Colonel Thomas C. Hindman ordering him to capture the boat Silver Wave, loaded with arms and supplies on its way to Fort Smith (Sebastian County) via the Arkansas River. Bocage successfully took the boat.
