NEW ORLEANS. April 30.--The
blowing up of Poydras crevasse yes
terday had been advertised by those
in charge as a most dramatic, mo-
mentous affair. From "A spectacular
viewpoint. it was just about as dra-
matte and momentous, at least as
far as the newspaper correspondents
were concerned. as though the engi-
neers had slipped up behind the press
contingent and bursted a paper bag
with a hole already torn in it.
The general consensus of the press
after the widely heraldcd spectacle
was over was that it was a big
bust" anyway one looks at it,
Imagine, if you can. the tense air
OF expectancy which electrified the
hundred or SO newspapermen aboard
the Coast Guard cutter Comanche
when Capt. Benham. in hoarse tones,
announced from the bridge, follow
ing more than two hours of i'm
patient delay. that everything was
'eady for the blast. Picture the eager
suspense of the half dozen motion
picture camera men, the score of
news photographers and the legion
of breathless writers from all parts
Of the South. East and Midwest as
the skipper pointed out the exact
spot, a few hundred feet offshore
from the Orange Grove distillery,
where the great flood control expert
ment was to be enacted.
Planes Give Signal
Overhead buzzed half a dozen sea
planes. from one Of which three
pieces Of paper had been dropped as
a signal that the explosion was to
occur Is minutes later. AS the abso-
lutte zero hour was at hand the cam
Louisiana sun, focused their lenses
on the spot indicated and began
grinding away furiously. A girl re-
porter from New Orleans paper
put her fingers in her ears and
sQuinted.
The whole assembly, scattered over
the ships rigging, guns. rails and
other places of vantage, stood in pet
rified suspense. Only the ominous
droning of the planes and grinding of
the cameras could be heard.
Suddenly Capt. Benham cried out:
'What is that"
The crowd started and looked far
up the river in time to see faint
puff of smoke clearing away behind
a patch Of willow trees, some miles
away. 1t was agreed this could not be
the big explosion.
THAT must have been it," the cap
tain announced. The correspondents
looked at one another in wonder and
amazement. They looked again at
one another with increasing rage and
disappointment.
Faint Noise Heard.
While yet in the midst of a dawn
ing realization that something was
wrong, a faint noise, as of the closing
of a closet door, drew their attention.
Far up the river they glimpsed, drop
ping behind the trees, another hand |
full of dirt.
