Grants Pass, intending to shoot ne
rapids. Report was received here YES
terday that~the boat, bottom side up.
minus the men and supplies. was picked
up by miners at Galice camp, % miles
below here. 1t is supposed the boat
was sWamped in the terrible mael-
strom and WhiripOols of He'll Gate. be-
tween Grants Pass and Galice. The
rapids of He'll Gate are considered far
more treacherous and difficult to run
than the White Horse of the Yukon.
Very few men have have shot them in
safety, and then only in boats built es-
pecially for Rogue river A number of
men have been drowned in the attempt
to run He'll Gate in boat
1t is believed the men were tender
feet newly arrived from the east.
Their boat was light. shell-like affair,
built for far less wicked waters than
those of the Rogue.
