NIAGARA FALLS, July Z CI.N
SJ.-Niagara's wFirling rapids
claimed another victim today, as
the body of George Statkahis,
chef, who called himself the
Greek Philosopher was un-
strapped from the cork mattress
on which he rested when he at.
tempted to navigate the rapids
above the falls in an immense
steel and wood barrel weighing a
ton.
Doctors said the. oxygen supply
in the barrel, which was half
filled with water, had been ex,
hausted and that Statkahis died
10 or II hours after he attempted
to leap the falls on Saturday
The barrel was sighted and
dragged from the water yesterday
afternoon When the steel cover
on one end was unscrewed the
chef was found dead, but turtle,
which he took with him on his
mad ride, was still alive.
The turtle Isl los years old, and
was sacred to Greek cult, Stat
kahis had said.
There hardly was a bruise on
the mans body.
A pad OF paper which the chef
took with him on which he said
he would write his sensations as
he went over the falls was a
blank of white.
