'CAIRO FIVE FEE!
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
by Sunday.
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
remained open.

reports were true. As we came into
the port, a man ran out and began
making wild gesticulations with his
arms. Then he pointed significantly
; across the field to another airship,
turned turtle ias we later learned)
| in an attempt to get off the soggy
| field. We flew low, Tom throttled the
| motor and yelled, “If it is not safe
| to land, throw your hat on the
ground.” The hat hit the earth. We
I flew away, went to Mayfield to look
; over a soggier landing field, came
back and circled over one soaked sec
| tion of terrain after another. Then
I the motor began to cut up. We had
been in the air almost two hours,
r.nd gas was low.
Lands on Highway.
“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
hands, mopped W’et brows and climbed
j out.
The first man to greet us had a
Red Cross insignia on his arm. We
: told him we had supplies. They were
| transferred to his car, we piled in
and headed for the "dry ground”
! concentration center on the edge of
: town.
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
1 away.
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.
The picture the Red Cross director
painted was not one of panic of

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
waterfront."
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.
