The collapse of the bridge was
caused by the rapid rise i'm the river.
The water rose during the day at the
rate of almost one foot an hour. and
deoris carried down the stream by the
flood struck the false work of the
bridge and caused it to collapse. A
large tree trunk struck the false
work just before the bridge fell
The accident occurred just at night
fan when the men were preparing to
abandon their work
As a result the work Of rescuing
those who were thrown into the
waters caught in the mass of twisted
iron and steel was greatly retarded
The second span of the bridge was
being erected. and IL was this span
that fell with the bridge traveller.
The bodies of four of those killed
were found floating on surface OF the
water entangled in bent and twisted
girders and iron work, but the 9TH
ers have not been found Many of
the men were caught in the rapid
waters and carried a mile or more
down the river before they were res
cued.
One of the most remarkable es-
capes was that of William Nesbet who
was caught in the iron work and held
a prisoner for an hour with his
mouth and chin above water before
being rescued
