NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y. August
AFTER being marooned in a sand
scow within 1000 feet of the brink
of Niagara Falls for sixteen hours.
George Harris Of Buffalo and Gus
Lofberg, a Swedish sailor. were res
cued by the Youngstown life-saving
crew this morning.
The 'scow broke away from tug
late yesterday while being used in
dredging operations on a new power
channel and with the two men on
board was carried into the upper
rapids and directly toward the crest
of the Horseshoe Falls.
A shelving. rock OF the head of
Goat Island caught the unwieldy
craft and held it. saving the men
from quick DEATH. The 1ife-savers
succeeded in getting line to the boat
last night, but the length of the rope
was so great and the scow SO low In
the water that the life line sagged
into the swift current and it was i'm
possible to operate breeches buoy.
The .1ife-savers abandoned their
work at midnight. Search1ights
were kept on the wreck and an cleo

This morning second line was shot
across the wreck from the roof of the
powerhouse where the shore end OF
the cable was anchored and with 1t
the breeches buoy was hauled out by
the two men. Wofberg helped Har-
ris into the breeches and he was
brought in. The weight. of his body
on the rope caused 1t to sag. deep
into the current and there was dam
ger that the extra strain on the scow
would tear it loose from its uncer-
tain position on the rock. Harris was
exhausted when he was taken from
the breeches buoy.
'Lofberg made me come over first;
was about all in," -Hafris said. The
breeches buoy was hauled back to
the >scow by Lofberg and half an
hour later he was safe ashore.
