Of the terrific tales of food losses
along the Ohio river, according to
the members of the relief party,

the second division of the Chicago
Naval reserves in command of
Lieutenant Chidlow. The latter

The relief party had little to do,
the greater part of the refugees
having been removed in small boats
sent out from various river towns
that were less affected. Mayor Jack
Moeller of Mt. Vernon. Ind, was
