GREEN RIVER. Wyo., June 21.-
Tom Martin and Jules w. Woodward
of st. Louis, who, ten days ago, left
here on n perilous voyage in a rowboat
to the mouth Of the Colorado, returned
today, after u thrilling experience.
They lost their boat and all its con
tents in Lsdore canyon, 200 miles
south
Green river IS unusually high this
year, but their voyage was without ad
venture until they entered the Ladore
canyon, when the oar lock for the
steering oar was broken, rendering the
swift current, which dashed il against
the rocks, compelling its occupants to
swim several hundred yards before gain
ing foothold on the rocky shore of
the river.
Without food and scarcely any
clothing, except undershirts and trous-
ers, they were obliged to travel three
days over rough mountains and through
swollen streams before reaching any
settlement. After travelling fifty
miles they came TO an old deserted
cabin, in which they found some flour
and matches. Nourshment and warmth
obtained enabled them 10 complete
their journey to Linwood, Utah. twenty
miles farther up the river, where
friends rendered assistance. and after
two davs rest the explorers reached
Green River, sincerely thankful that
they had escaped with their lives.
