They were renewing their ef- forts today, ropes being tied to mem- bers of the party and held by others so that they might wade through the swift water without being carried away by the current. Searchers can only surmise as to the position of the bodies since they may have been carried down the stream by the current. Also it is not known at what point they were thrown from the frail craft. It was pointed out by Miss Rainwater, a constant companion of Miss Anderson, that, although she had spent four seasons on the river and was an expert with & canoe, she swam poorly. She was to have started taking swimming lessons at the Y. W. C. A. tonight. It was held possible that she may have been able to make the shore if alone, but would have been unable to rescue Miss Carr, who could not swim at all.
