Hundreds of Occupants of House Boats al

Chicago, June "a special from st.
Louis says: Although it is one week
since the disastrous tornado struck st.
Louis and the East Side, it was not no.
ticed until today that all the house
boats on the river had disappeared. Be-
tween the chain of rocks and Choteau
avenue last Wednesday morning there
were 81 of these floating shanties Not
one was left by the fury of the tornado.
But few of them were safe even in
calm weather, and three-fourths Of
them were totally destroyed. An old
river man said: 1.-The denizens of the
house boat are real nomnds. They
drift or are towed wherever their fancy
directs. They are tile gypsies of the
great river. They know but few PEG.
pie in the cities and are known by few.
/ was figuring last Sunday week on
how many of them were in this harbor
for the June rise, and figuring five to
each boat there were over 300 here last
Wednesday. / believe most of them
We're drowned, because l know it is
both traditional and instinct with them
to stick to their floating homes till the
last. Not one of these house boats is
left. have been patrolling the river
now for five days since the tornado,
and am sure that over 800 of these
people, including women and children,
arc lost The lower river will this
summer give up over 100 dead that
have not as yet been counted among
the victims of Wednesdays tornado"
