    At 02:39:29 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 181013 ***A*** (trigger=866783).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 207.601, +40.179 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 13h 50m 24s
       Dec(J2000) = +40d 10' 43"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1218 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
