  AHEAD OF FLOOD
  Worst Is Yet to Come, How
  ever, as River Men Expect
  62-Foot Crest Sunday.
  By the Associated Press.
  CAIRO. 111.. January 28.—This his
  toric river city, caught as it in a
  vice where the Ohio and Mississippi
  Rivers meet, held a 5-foot lead on
  the flood today while water piled
  into a safety gap downstream, built
  for just such a time.
  Thanks to feverish work of a thou
  sand men, a 3-foot earthern bulwark
  topped the city's 60-foot sea wall,
  while the Ohio’s floodwaters, which
  rose to a level of 58.67 feet two days
  ago, had gone down to a fraction
  less than 58. This morning it crept
  up to 58.03, a rise of seven-hundredths
  of a foot in four and a half hours.
  But the worst is yet to be expected,
  for river experts have predicted a
  new rise will reach a crest of 62 feet
  Two of Cairo's neighbor cities were
  completely under water and more than
  8.000 persons in this area evacuated,
  but those who remained inside the
  wall expressed confidence the city
  would win its battle.
  ‘‘Just tell the world we're here and
  will be for a long, long time," declared
  Mayor August Bode.
  The city completed its 2 Vi -mile-long
  bulkhead just in time. Backwaters
  north of Cairo halted traffic on the
  last rail outlet, the Illinois Central,
  over which came virtually all of the
  sand and dirt used in filling the
  wooden framework fastened to the
  concrete levee. A single highway still

  making wild gesticulations with his

  “I think I'll sit down on the high
  way,” said the pilot. He swung
  around and skimmed over a snow
  plow’, slithered past a road sign and
  miraculously came to rest squarely in
  the middle of the road. We shook

  There I had my first look at, and
  word from, my fellow-townsmen in
  almost a week. They were without
  exception excitedly busy, pre-occupied,
  haggard and adorned with enough
  beards to put the House of David out
  of business. I heard stories of some
  who had been brought in after hours
  ; of duty to have frozen clothing cut
  An hour later we began a boat ride
  j down the main street to meet Gus
  G. Meyer, the major director of Bed
  ! Cross relief in this city. Our boat
  j slithered over the tops of submerged
  cars, putted along merrily on the level
  with second-story windows, passed
  many a house where the lights still
  burned full blast and the die-hard
  owners had refused to budge.
  At the Hotel Irvin Cobb, best of
  local hostelries, we climbed out on
  an improvised wharf, went up a
  ladder over the hotel marquee and
  went to Mr. Mayer's offices. On the
  way we gazed down at the ornate
  lobby, sloshing deep in water.

  unconquerable disaster. He said be
  tween 10,000 and 15,000 residents in
  a population of 38,000 would be, or had
  been, evacuated. The rest probably
  would stick out the floods In their
  homes If the water became no worse.
  There was still light for the thousand
  people congregated at the Cobb, heat
  from oil stoves, food cooked on Im
  provised stoves, mostly electric toasters.
  On the river the Coast Guard and
  the military were In charge of keeping
  all boats in repair and manned. By
  "on the river” X mean the very center
  of the residential section, where a
  Coast Guard cutter pushing a barge
  loaded with refugees had passed only
  that afternoon. The National Guard
  was doing yeoman service in many
  capacities acting as military police,
  helping at relief stations, but by no
  means maintaining martial law. The
  civil authorities were still supreme, as
  he pictured it, with many emergency
  deputies and volunteers who had been
  on the job incessantly for five days.
  The report of a boat overturned
  and 14 persons drowmed was entirely
  erroneous, he said. So far as he knew,
  there had been few deaths from
  drowning, a few from exposure. Oc
  casional disorders had been quelled
  easily. The town and the villages
  nearby receiving its refugees had no
  immediate need of medical supplies.
  It was a good and plausible picture,
  but behind It lay the story that a re
  lief administrator Is too busy to think
  of—the houses and rugs and furni
  ture and books soaked and ruined;
  the people huddled on upper floors of
  buildings, listening to distress calls
  from the local radio station and won
  dering what would come next; fear,
  helplessness, the agony of the dis
  possessed; boats running all night
  through the streets and rumors out
  running them at every turn. The
  pruspect of tomorrow, full of what?
  While our amiable conference was
  still on an anxious man poked his
  head in at the door and said, ‘‘Mr.
  Meyer, there Is a serious *ra on the
  Even as we clambered down the
  ladder to the hotel wharf, out went
  the light*. They were the last seen
  In the city that night. The open boat
  that was taking us to the fire was
  sidetracked by pleas of people in the
  upper floors of buildings In the same
  block. They wanted to get away, and,
  although other boats were rushing to
  them, we had to turn aside. We
  brought down five people, one of them
  an elderly woman who clutched my
  hand and clung to it desperately until
  I left the boat. And another woman
  was hurt because we wouldn’t stop
  to go back and get her little dog.
  The fire looked bad against the sky.
  Heavy smoke drifted back over the
  city. Flames tinged the murky ceiling
  overhead. When we rounded the cor
  ner of ’’’lrst street we saw it was not
  quite as deadly as we’d expected. A
  small supply house building had burst
  Into flames, probably from a short
  circuit. A Government barge, equipped
  with pumps, was spraying two heavy
  water lines into the blase. Mr. Meyer
  jumped from our open boat to the
  barge as we came alongside, and there
  by almost got himself a ride straight
  into the flames, for the tug behind the
  barge shoved too hard and sent it
  grinding dead on Into the side of the
  building. Only a swift counter current
  pulled It back again In time.
  By the time we left the lire was un
  der control. Mr. Meyer went back to
  the hotel. Tom Livermore and I rode
  one of the relief boats until we had
  picked up a load of twenty-odd men,
  women and children, who wanted only
  to get away from water, to be com
  mitted to helpful and trustworthy
  hands. Straight out on the main
  street we came again, past the big
  houses that had water in their par
  lors and the little ones that were afloat
  to the attic. Past filling stations lit
  erally filled, groceries with their stocks
  afloat on the water, an old hotel where
  the searchlight showed a solemn pla
  toon of three cuspidors floating de
  corously out the door, and so to write
  by candle light.
