years work, was nearly complete.
Floods. unexpected delay from short

Dor had retarded the construction SO
that the time specified in the contract
for Its completion expired at noon Of
this bright April day.

Of curve, with its convexity up

came greater. the weight Of the water

reservoir created by the dam would

sheet. About IS feet below the crest

the water fell, instead Of falling its
full weight into the chasm, IL struck
this collar at a slant, thus relieving
the blow on the foundations of the
dam.

about ten feet below the breast of
the dam had suddenly blown out un.

punch had been driven In. leaving an
