sought shelters in tree tops and
on hillsides early, yesterday when
a concrete dam was washed out.
Rains of near cloudburst pro-
portions flooded the stream. A
five-foot deep torrent of water
roared down on the campers and
only the fact that they could hear
the avalanche approaching was
credited with enabling the men,
women and children to escape
without loss of life .
Scores of automobiles were
washed down the stream, brood-
er pools were swept out of a state
fish hatichedy hnd four 'bridges
were smashed.
The water in the lake above
the dam rose six feet in ten min-
utes. CCC campers, park em-
ployes and resident in the area
joined in rescuing the campers,
two children and their parents
were marooned in a treo top for
four hours before daylight reveal-
ed their plight. Another family
of four spent several hours atop
of a school bus and other groups
were trapped in automobiles and
on top of them.
John R. Watkins of Henrietta,
Oklahoma, was carried almost a
mile down stream when he was
swent off his feet while trying
to help several person who were
stranded in an automobile. CCC
workers pulled him from the riv-
er.
Awakened Camper*
Many of the campers awoke in
their tents or on camp cots to
find the water lapping around
them.
Other streams in the vicinity, of
the park were flooded by the
rain. To the south, in Arkansas
Eureka Springs was isolated for
a time after five inches of ram
fell in an hour.
Six miles of the Missouri-North
Arkansas railroad tracks were
washed out and water rose to a
depth of two feet in the railroad
station and the city auditorium.
Hail, which accompanied the ratn,
did heavy damage to roofs and
automobile tops.
The White river was rising and
and was said to have flooded low-
lands near Eureka Springs.
