Paul and Pamela sat among the baseball
bats and polo helmets and golf balls watching
the disappearing space between water and
ceiling. WELL" Pamela said. ''everything's up
on the balcony Isn't that dandy? And now
the question is, will the water join us up here?
Can you swim, Paul?"
"Yes, but you can't, and the currents too
strong for me to tow you. So that's that"
"You could have swum away from here

We'll be rescued. kid"

There is a great shortage of boats for
rescue purposes. Anyone having boat, pri-
vate parties or stores, is urged to notify the
police. Scores of people are marooned in
houses and stores, and in cases of one story
buildings, there is extreme danger, as even
such roofs may be only temporary refuge.
Police report cries of help from many direc-
tions."
Pamela did not finish her sandwich.
There was a rowboat being launched on
Fifth Street by boy in hip boots. Let me in

This is an awful holdup," Pamela said

1t did-lots better. Pamela
went to bed, but at three in
the morning she woke up and
turned on the radio. After
listening for a few moments
she realized how far off her
guess had been. So she dressed
and took a cab to town.

they said at the newspaper

By noon there was no way to get back to
her newspaper office and no point in doing so,
could it be accomplished. The waters. which
long had been pressing against the great
panes of plate glass behind which the presses
turned, had broken down the windows. Soon
the office was evacuated and wires were down.
There was no way to get word to the desk,
and no desk except the warping furniture
under muddy water.

because I'll have to get to

but the currents going to be

you find yourself floating
down the Mississippi in about

Pamela was very exhausted
and very frightened when she
climbed over the ledge of
the windows that opened
from the balcony of Paul's
store, but she was angry more
than anything when she saw
Paul safe and sound, taking
papers out of his desk, which
was on the balcony. Hi"
she gasped.

at last the rowboat had fought

with its three passengers.
