TWO LEVEE BREAKS
MENACE AUGUSTA
Five Marooned in Tree in
Georgia Town by High
River Waters.
By the Associated Press.


AUGUSTA. Ga, September %
While crews fought to repair two breaks
in the levee protecting Augusta and
nearby lowland communities from flood
waters of the Savannah River, watchers
along shore expressed grave fear today
for the safety of five persons marooned
in a tree and surrounded by turbulent
waters.
The five chung to the tree for hours
yesterday screaming for help the levee
workers said, but when darkness hid
them from view the cries ceased.
Second Levee Break.
Added concern was felt last night
as the second break in the leVee &C.
CURED near the business district. Earlier
in the night the waters pounded 90
foot creyasse in the river wall 6 miles
down stream. City officials said the
break near the city probably would be
brought under control without serious
damage. They believed the crevasse
down stream would do little harm other
than flood lowlands which already
have been evacuated
The waters today had risen within
3 feet of the top of the dyke which
protects Augusta proper. Local weather
officials said the crest apparently had
reached its peak and probably would
begin falling soon.
The $4,000 persons in Augusta were
cut off entirely from any means of
transportation and virtually all bust
ness was suspended. North Augusta,
where the five persons were marooned
in the tree. was inundated, the exodus
of the lowlands down the river con-
tinued while Workmen repaired the
crevaSses and patrolled the levees to
watch for any further breaks.
Town Evacuated.
Hamburg, S. c., a negro settlement OF
several hundred population just across
the river from Augusta. practically was
swept away by the swirling current,
Only the housetops were visible above
the water. No loss of life was reported,
however, as the residents evacuated the
town yesterday.
Five other Georgia cities also fought
the ravages of overburdened streams,
whose crests were Swelled to the danger
point by incessant rains of the last sew
eral days. Rail and highway communi-
cations were cut off to Millen, Appling,
WaycroSs, Wadley and Midwife. The
Ogmulgee River at Macon, in the south
central section of the State, was above
food stage.
