July 16, 1881, a great rise in the Iowa river caused an extraordinary amount of damage, the water reaching a height of twenty-two and one- half feet. All travel over the two bridges across the river at Iowa City was cut off, and the mail carrier in undertaking to get his team across the lower bridge to continue his journey to Montezuma, was unfortu- nate enough to drive off the grade and was drowned.
It was during this flood that J. P. Dostal "brought his steam yacht down from the club grounds near Butler's Landing, entered Coralville under full steam and proceeded right down the main street in front of the paper mill, across Clear creek bridge, over Dietz and Hemmer's dam, and landed at Iowa City."
