went out on time in a gale and under
a deluge that was surely a sight to be-
hold.

would have been sure to follow the
moving out of the exceptionally heavy
ice, but it did not bulge, though the
great quantity of water that came
down in the storm caused both rivers
! to rise rapidly during all of the day

! prevented a maximum rise and alsC
fixed conditions right for further dan

/ Nearly 30 wears have passed since

/ ga rivers, one that swept away bridges
and furnished a wonderful spectacle
that has not since been forgotten. a
repetition of the havoc was anticipat-
ed Thursday until the drop in tempe
nature came.
