During the time hat plans were being ar
ranged for their release. Finally, Henry
Tiel and Homer Todhunter two expert boat
men, took good boat and rowsd no the
river, and passed out through the break, end
were thus carried close to the house Fay
ventured down as they were coming and
caught rope thrown from the boat as It was
passing, and securing it, all the men, after
considerable effort, got in and were taken ou5
safely, landing in the back portion OF town
on the railroad embankment far below.
A short time before this three boys, named
viii Waters George w. Holt and Eugene
Mooney, were trying to cross back OF town IN
a boat, near the lower end Of the break when
the current upset them, and they were say q, 90
bv clinging to some small trees until they
were rescued by Eli Fourness, who TOOK
another boat and went out cautiously ana
brought them in.

a PEB1LoUs SITUATION.

Yesterday afternoon Pat Fay, VIM. Woods,
Jas. Glenn and Edward Short started il q
boat to get some poultry that had taken up
quarters in Pat Fay's house, located imme-
diately in front Of the Hoagland and Fay
break, and about FIVE rods back of where the
Ievee stood before it was swept away. They
ran their boat between the leyee line and
building, and let it drift down against the
porch. The current was so strong that in
getting out of the boat it capsizsd, and in an
instant went out under the porch aud down
stream, leaving them mOuarChs of all they
surveyed but without any way Of changing
their location, and with fifteen or eighteen
feet Of raging water passing beneath them,
as the house stood on aahigh frame. The
house was held in its position by being dashed
to some small trees close by. Alter standing
on the porch for a few minutes the whole
building commenced to sway back and forth,
and crack in all its parts and water was run
ming over the porch floor. As a means Of safety
all four of them jumped into small
tree standing close to the porch. and secured
themselves in the branches and Rugged the
trunk for dear life, at the same time making
their situation known by calling for help.
The house was lashed to the tree, and fear
ing it would be drawn down with the house
one of them cut the rope to let the house 60.
BY this time there was great excitement ct

report was also circulated that two of them
were drowned. Their wives and families

oJDA4EhGEJ ~ NLAftLl IlE La ' IL,
While Others have been lifted from their
foundations and carried to other localities or
have gone to pieces and foated away in de-
tail. a large portion Of the houses remain
ing have been deserted as a matter of safety,
if rot Of necessity, and numerous families
which a few days ago were surrounded with
ali home comforts and enjoyment are now
made homeless and in absolute want of
shelter and temporary aid. With many not
only their houses are gone or submerged, but
their furniture, bedding and clothing is
also carried away or ruined, The water now
covers the railroad track to within two
blocks of the railroad bridge, and this piece
of high ground or embankment is largely
covered with horses. cattle, furniture and ef-
fects which have been brought away with
boats from houses which have gone to pieces
or are abandoned.
The end of the levee beyond the Point was
canvased on Saturday, to prevent It's cutting
this way any further, but it did not stand.
and was soon carried off with large piece of
the end of the embankment, and no further
efforts have been made to save it.
There are no further breaks below the
bridge, and the river fell considerably yestsr-
day, so that they have hopes chat the most Of
the front levee will remain, There was g
great throng of people crossing the bridge to
and fro all day. as the desolatiou and scenes
of the place rendered it the chief object of in

THE SCENE AT WASHINGTON

Is most glooming and distressing. No levse
remains except along the front of the
town, and the water stands abort thr( e
feet high upon the inside of this.
The water is pouring in without the least
obstruction from about ten rods beyond
Washington Point to the further end of
where the new Todhunter leyee was, and
there is but here and there small piece of
embankment left for miles above The cur
rent is not as rapid as it has been in Wash
ington, as the water has become as high in
the town, into foot or fifteen inches, as it
gerous much of the way even for boating
The nearest current to the front levee Is
along the first street west of it, and down
this the water runs like a mill-race, and Is
over all fences and up to or above the middle
Of the windows of the lower stories OF the
houses.
Buildings have been swept away as fol-

Sacramento valley, and many who have here
totore bTavely retrieved tll5ir losses from
floods, are now disheartened, and feel like
abandoning all further efforts. With many,
horses, barns and stock are all gone, and all
crops and prospects for the season are swept
away with them.
The party state that the mound and high
ground just about Mike Bryte's barn is
the only secure place that was seen for stock
during their trip up the river. The English
break dam is reported as still in sound con-
dition, and there is some levee between that
point and Washington. but practically the
levees are all gone on both sides of the river,
and for an unknown distance up the river.
There are still portions standing in places,
but the breaks are so numerous and extensive
that the river flows at will upon the plains
and low lands on either side, the drainage into
which has become so general that there is
but little current down the river, and there
fore the river is doing but small amount of
work towards carrying off the flood waters.
The party who came down upon the
steamer state that the flood from the Ameri-
can river forces itself directly across the
Sacramento at the place of their confluence,
and pours through the Hoagland and Tod
hunter break into the tules back OF Wash
ington. They also state that this crossing Of
the Sacramento by the current from the
American backs up the water of the former,
and that the food wood actually floats up
stream from just above that point TO the
break at Mike Bryte's, aud passes oil in that
direction.
As an evidence of the force of the water as
it sweeps over the lands from the breaks,
Mr., Moore rancher, near Bentley's, says
that when ne saw flood was coming, and
before the levee gave away, he chained mis-
wagon and moving machine to an oak tree,
A short time after the leyees broke this tree
was torn up by the roots with the current,
and together with the wagon and iron now
ing machine, swept into the tules. From this
may be formed some idea Of the power with
which the river lands are being swept over,
and how little resistance wooden buildings
and fences and other structures will offer it,
and how few of these will be found when the
food Waters cease
