Millions of Dollars
Damage Is Certain.

Nevertheless, damage to the extent
of additional millions is anticipated
from the waters pouring through the
crevasse into the plantation and sugar
cane belt, which will not go down prob
ably for week.
Back water from the Torras creyasse
has reached Irwinsville and feet of
boats was sent there today to rescue
$50 persons marooned in the town. The
situation in Morgansea is also critical
due to the weakness Of the levee at
that point.
Three additional deaths are reported.

a lawyer, was drowned when a canoe In
which she and her husband were escap-

The water appeared suddenly in the
