Desidents Move to Second Flors
When Columbia Gorge
Breaks Loose.
RAIN WOULD BE MENACE
Special Dispatch From StaH Correspondent

Special Dispatch From Stan Correspondent
Port Deposit, Md, March IL.
At noon today residents OF this section
were much less alarmed than they have
been for several days. The mercury is
above freezing and while the ice is piled
high on the sides, there is clear water in
the middle of the Srsquehanna and If u
long rain does not follow, IL is believed
that imminent danger has passed
Residents were given n scare last night
when it was reported that the ice had
broken at Columbia. Pa, bridge and was
sweeping down the river That proved to
be the case and those living close to the
river moved into the second story of their
homes. Fortunately the gorge was check
ed at Cresswell, four miles below Columbia
4 and the hazardous position here relieved
again.
T.. s. army aviators again attempted TO
break the masses of ice this morning by
dropping bombs containing i. t, but
so far as could be observed from the banks
and bridges, the bombs had little effect.
The effort will be renewed again this
afternoon.
The ice is piled high about the railroad
bridges, but it has not resulted in any
serious rising of the tide The warmer
weather OF the last two days has caused the
ice to waste" considerably and il it could
continue for two or three days more,
serious danger. il is believed, would be
totally eliminated.
Fair weather still prevailing along the
river at this point has thus far saved
the town from another flood. Virtually no
change in the situation has occurred since
Yesterday. With the ice still gorged high
IN 'front.' of the town, the people on shore
are still in great suspense least sudden
frcakish action set the great field of
broken ice in motion and food the place
with ice and water.
Under the combined attack of the army
aviators and mild atmosphere the jam
was loosened late yesterday to such an
extent that a small amount OF ice and
baekwater began passing out into Chesa-
peake Bay. However the channel was not
wide enough To assure that the ice would
not gorge and theair men arranged To
return today and continue their work.
Residents awoke this morning with
renewed hope that Baltimore's two ice
boats, the Annapolis and Latrohe, would
put In their appearance early IN response
10 the request from the town officials and
try their luck against the solid ice below
Port Up TO noon no boat had appeared In
sight, nor had any further encouragement
come from Baltimore.
