Ing, upon which about seventy peo-
pie had rushed to board the excursion
steamer Margaret, on her return trip
to New Orleans, ten persons are
known to be dead and several are
missing.
The Margaret did rot land at the
wharf at which she was accustomed
to tie up. Instead she ran Into a
dock built especially for skifs and
small crafts. This small wharf was
pulled by the steamers ropes entire
ly away from the main pier and some
seventy people went into the lake
in about eight feet OF water.
The cries and shrieks Of those
precipitated into the lake were heard
all over the place and many men
rushed to the wharf to join In the
heroic work of rescue which had
been begun. The officers and crew
Of the Margaret did excellent WORK
by throwing life preservers. and some
OF them going into the water.
Those who figured in the accident
told Of the usual heart-rending In
cidents that mark such catastro-

thrown into the lake, with her baby

struck by a piece of piling. When
she was finally rescued the body

strong men to prevent the woman
from throwing herself back into the
