Makes Trip Through Whirlpool
Rapids

Niagara Fails, N. Y, Sept. IS.
Capt. Klaus Larsen. in his little
motorboat, the Ferro, late this after
noon made successful trip from the
foot of the cataract through the whirl-
pool rapids to-within q mile of Lewis
ton, distance Of 4 Ia miles. He
started from the Maid of the Mist
dock at 4:45 O'Clock and landed on
the American shore at $50.
Despite the gathering Of the whirlpool
rapids, Larsen went through safely,
his only injury being a scraped leg
but his boat was leaking badly at
the finish and through the trip. Lar
sen had intended to start at $50
o'c lock, but he was delayed by en-
CINE trouble. The authorities also
threatened to interfere on the ground
Of attempted suicide.
The Ferro swung under the Camille
ever Bridge, the engine running at
top speed, and was caught in the
swift drift where the river begins to
rush through to whirlpool rapids
Larsen held to the middle of the
channel and in less than three min
utes had made the great whirlpool.
In the trip through the rapid the lit
tie boat was lost to sight most of the
time, but at great wave it was
shot almost 30 feet out of the
water The boat landed right side up
and continued to the pool. and passed
out without accident just as he left
the pool, the engine stopped working,
and Larsen was at the mercy of the
waters, hardly less violent than those
above. The little boat swung around
stern first, and then turned completely
over. Larsen coming up badly batter

From now on Larsen was the play
thing, of the mighty river, unable to
hold his course. the boat swung from
one side to the other.
After getting through Devils Hole,
the Ferro swung toward the
rocks on the American side Of the
river, rolled over one holder, and went
fast between two others. There Larsen
stayed for minutes 40 feet from
shore, working desperately to release
the craft. Getting free, he was hit
by comber and sent careening to-
ward midstream. At this bend, with
the Lewiston bridge in sight. the boat
drifted toward the American side
again, and was then caught in the
shore eddy. The Ferro grounded, this
time near the shore. Roy Rockwell,
Of this city waded into the water, and
caught rope thrown by Larsen.
