The men, realizing their danger,
yainly attempted to control their
craft and turn its head toward the
shore which they had just left Their
efforts were in vain and the battle of
the men for their life was of short
duration. A number of the men at
the camp had watched the departure
of the party and many had expressed
their fears for the safety of the group
in ride over the rough surface of
the river. The fears were converted
into reality so suddenly that the men
on the shore were unprepared to rem
der assistance to their comrades when
they saw the light craft quickly
swamped by a large wave and the
men foundering helplessly in the
chilling and terrible currents of water
in that part of the river.
Samuel Mofford, the only member
of the party of four to escape death,
did SO by reaching the overturned
craft and clinging to its sides until
fellow workmen in launch rescued
him. The three unfortunate men, al
though every one of them was an ex-
cellent swimmer, were unable to keep
up in the whirling waters and one by
one they disappeared beneath the
waves They failed to even have a
fighting chance in the turbulent river.

1t is the Berdon starter made by the Estcrline Company.
1t is simple, light in weight, effective under all ~condi
tons and essentially fool proof"
A man can turn a motor over about 80 revolutions Der
minute by hand-if he is big, strong, husky man. This
system turns the motor over from IS to 20 revolutions
per minute.
This starter starts your motor in from S to 10 seconds
never longer than the latter-providing carburetion and
ignition are right. Think OF that!
Simply press the pedal with your foot and your motor is running. When
the motor1s running the generator charges the storage battery. When the
battery IS full the charging ceases, automatically. The driver doesn't have
to worry about the starter o the lights.
Electric lights are run direct from the dynamo when the car is travelling 10
Or Il miles a hour or faster. At slower speeds the lighting current is
withdrawn from the storage battery. These lights. IN the darkest night,
will let you read this ad a quarter OF a mile in front of the car. There Isl
