With the Arkansas river at it's pre5- enl stage bOatmen have found such difficulty in getting water of boat ing stage that few of them would ex- pect a hole anywhere in the river of sufficient depth to sink d boat, yet the unexpected happened al this place yesterday when derrick boat belong ing to the United States government sunk in ten feet of water.
 The derrick boat had been working on the reVetment work at this point, hauling rock to the places where the bank is being repaired. In passing back and forth yesterday the boat struck d submerged stump which tore a hole in the hull, allowing the boat 10 settle in the water.
 When the boat went down there was full crew on it. but the !a- borers and boatmen were able to es- cape in the small boats which were at the side of the government craft and none were in danger of being drowned.
 The Doat is worth about 5000 ana as soon as the report was received oy the government engineers at IAttle Rock. they began making prepara' .ons for the floating of the vessel.
