FLOOD WATERS
Of Mississippi On Section of Le
vee Which Broke Away
From Bird’s Point.
Cairo, Illinois, April 2.—With
the highest flood waters passing
Cairo in the Ohio river, the city
is in a state of fearful waiting
never before experenced here.
The river gauge at 10 o’clock to
night stood at 54.5 and rising, a
stage of foiu’-tenths of an inch
higher than any previous record.
Nearly every hour brought
reports of trouble in other cities,
certification of which was
impossible from this isolated
town. One of the most thrilling
of the stories to reach here was
brought by Capt. S. A. Martin,
regimental quatrermaster, and
Capt. S. A. Jamison of 'the Sixth
regiment, Missouri National
Guard.
They were rescued in a
launch from a section of a bulk
head, which „ voke away at
Bird’s Point, Mo., just below
here. Thirty six of their men,
hey said, are now on the sec
on, which is 200 yards long
and 10 feet wide, and floating
down the Misssissippi.
Commander McMunn oi he
navai reserves at once arranged
for a launch and started out to
rescue the Missouri soldiers. A
pilot, who understands the river
course, was taken along to guide
the searchers. There is a swift
current in the river and the safe
ty of the men is causing their
commanding officer much' worry.
The regiment was on military !
duty in the town, which has
been threatened for several days
on account of the high Ohio wa
ters.
A squad of reserves was sent
on the steamer City of Cairo to
O’Brien’s Landing, where many
persons wei'e said to be strand
ed.
None of the rescue parties ■
had been heard from up to a
late hour tonight.
