Ba ty of é j hundreds of. sandbags on the miniature “geysers” boiling through the thin strata of protective surface over the city’s foundation of sand. Maj. R. D. Burdick, U. S. army engineer, estimated there were about 50 “boils” scattered throughout the city. The eruptions, he explained, sprang from the terrific pres- sure of the flooded Ohio river waters, slowly eating their way beneath the man-guarded levees and seeping under the city to make it—in time—a virtual “floating island.” In the mounting emergency, 40 additional coast guard boats arrived to evacuate the city’s army of 6,000 defenders if the river breaks through. In all, 55 vessels and nine barges were tied up at the river wall. Huge waves, lashed by a freezing north wind, swept against the city’s reinforced defenses. The waves battered a three-foot emergency bulkhead which tops the 60-foot seawall. Other towns on the Mississippi river below were similarly menaced. Watch-weary men found some encouragement in the slow rise of the Ohio and in predictions the crest expected Ws or Thursday would not exceed 6014 feet—six inches less than previously anticipated. As the drama-packed defense of the city, built on a tongué of land between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, moved toward its inevitable climax, a grimy, tired levee fighter said: “After such a fight fate will not permit a catastrophe.” “ie Revised estimates of the -havec: already wrought by thé ‘Ybe country, golden-haired Eunice | flood confirmed previous descriptions ‘of the disaster as the a Sushown here roe ‘doll her ore in the history of the nation.
