Raft RiddIed, and Narrow Escape of
Two Mem.
Keokuk Gate City, l5th.l
There was an exciting scene at the
bridge Thursday night. About half past
ten o'clock the towboat James Means
csme down from above with a large
lumber raft. It was very dark at that
hour. and the attempt to get through
the bridge under the circumstances was
very perilous, as well as a very un-
usual, uEderts king. One section of the
raft colilded with the second pier east OF
the draw and was completely demolish-
cd. -Four of the cribs crept UP on the
az them lodged against the pier, and are
now standing there on edge In q very
demoralized condition. The most re-
maTksble feature of the disaster was the
narrow escape of two Of the raftsmen,
who were tossed about while the raft
was going TO pieces and finally ship
wrecked on the cribs that were lodged
against the pier. They may, with truth,
be said to have been on the ragged edge
of watery grave, al there
was no telling at what moment that part |
of the raft would be dashed to pieces and |
carrisd down with the current. 1t was
so dark that they were not missed until |
the remainder of the raft had fioated |
down nearly opposite the elevator.
When the discovery vas made detach-
ment Of the crew was sent back with q
skif in search OF them. On nearing the |
wreck they were attracted by the cries
Of help, proceeded thither and succeeded, |
with,some difficulty, in rescuing the men.
The boat chung to the raft until it was
broken up, and then proceeded on down
the river to gather up the pieces. The
lumber was all of the first grade and the
loss will fall heavily on some one. The
shattered fragments doomed up big
above the pier yesterday, and men In
'kifs were busily engaged la pulling
ut boards and bringing them ashore.
