waters of the Potomac rushed
through the Georgetown channel to-
day with destructive swiftness, tear
ing launches, scows and floats from
their moorings and choking the river
with all kinds OF debris washed from
the banks on its mad dash down
stream.
Two feet above normal and rising
perceptibly on flood tide, river men
are keeping a constant vigil on the
swift waters to prevent the destruc-

the river gives the slightest indica-
ton of reaching flood stage. Already
over the sea wall in Potomac Park

houses above Key bridge. the water
may rise to a higher point tonight.
Ebb tide this afternoon, in the opin-
ion of the river men, probably will
keep the water from creeping any
farther into the lighthouses for the
next six or eight hours.
Eight Launches Torn Away.
Eight launches anchored on the
near Dempsey's boathouse we're torn
away by the swift water during the
night and washed downstream. Two
of them were caught under the piers
of the old Aqueduct bridge and an
other was carried as far as the High
way bridge, where it became en-
tangled in the cable, which served as
an improvised mooring. River men
also reported seeing a score or more
rowboats, floats. parts of bridges and
houses floating down the channel
with the debris
The harbor precinct patrol, in a

morning in search of the derelict
boats. After battling the swift wa

were recovered and returned to their
owners. The smaller boats, however,
are believed to be still heading south

Canoeists and Campers Warned.
The abnormal condition OF the river
prevented the customary Saturday
picnice of the hundreds of campers
along the upper Potomac. Fearing
that canoeist3 would be unable u
navigate the swift waters in their
frail craft, boathouse proprietors
warned the campers TO leave them
on the boathouse racks.

to swell slowly throughout the night
The highest point was reached at
about 1890 o'clock this afternoon,
when the tide began to flood. If the

men believe it will be three days
