BATTLES WITH RAGING FLOODS
OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER BEGIN SOON
Coast Guard Preparing to Rescue Persons and Saue
Property in Spring Freshets-PeriIous Deeds
Recorded in Log.

The United States Coast Guard Is
preparing for the annual battle with
the Father Of Waters" It's fleet Of
and stores of food, tents and relief
equipment are being loaded. Flood
time is drawing near in the Missis-
sippi valley and the coast guard Is
looked to to prevent loss Of life.
Two typical paddle-wheel river
boats, the Kankakee and the Yocona,
have been the means In the past of
ties Of property.
The kankakee is based at Evans
Vile. Ind, and the Yocona at Vicks-
burg. Miss. When a flood is reported
these two boats go down the river
with the flood. Perhaps the lookouts
will spot a house partly submerged
two or three miles across a fiat. Life
boats are launched and the crew row
to the marooned people. 1t they are
in no real danger. supplies are left
with them. II their lives are men,
aced. however, they are taken aboard
along with their furniture and such
OF their live stock as may remain.
Sometimes Use Lighters.
When the boats become crowded,
lighters are attached and towed
along.
People in the valley when they see
the high water come have learned to
look for the two-masted white boat
that means their salvation.
The following, taken from the log
of one of the boats in an Illinois
flood, is a good illustration of the
romance and adventure in the work
and Of what problems the boats meet.
"On arrival at Kampsville got
through to Fairbanks territory; found
a farm house five miles in from river
over flooded area with four adults
with just a few potatoes; impossible
to get through a patch of woods at
night, and working only from sunrise
to sunset on the water; on the 22d
again at Fairbanks; there found a
deaf and blind man alone in a house
nearly submerged and living in the
attic with chickens and dogs, but
with food which had been left him,
but which he was unable to use be-
cause unable to see: took him to dry
land; got wagon transportation and
placed him where he could be cared
for; on the 23d found family of
eight, several young children and a
baby; no food, no water fit to drink
gave them food.

cared for them; one woman and her
child driven to levee. no shelter. no

This was at a distance of two miles
from river, the water pouring through
gap in the levee $50 feet wide at
roaring noise which could be heard
for a considerable distance; could
see men and women escaping on
horseback as fast as they could go
and watched until they were safe, the
spreading out of the water from the
gap gave them time to get away, but
the horses were then ankle deep in
water and mud; Stebbins' skiff with
four oars could do absolutely nothing
against current at one point. He
succeeded in riding through the gap
in the levee with 4 surf boat; assisted
thirty three people at Scout county
levee, where two men had been forced
to move four times by the rising
water: camped on levee without
shelter that night in order to be at
hand and to rescue the laborers In
case their stretch of levee gave way:
on 22d found levee engineer and fam
lily, consisting of wife and three chill
dren, marooned in second story of

no food and no water; got them out
