The torrent continued to pour out over the bottom between Risling's farm and Kunze's brick yard for about two hours, and fears were entertained that another gorge would be formed there, but about 7 o'clock the big gorge in the river below Risling's tim- ber burst, and the terrible storm of ice and water took to its first love, the main channel, and the water fell more rapidly than it had risen. By ten o'clock the water was out of the city limits and by Wednesday morning the streets were again passable. But it was a scene of dessolation and ruin that presented itself. Little but the bare houses and the great masses of ice, tons in a place, remained. Everything moveable had been swept away. Scarcely a piece of wood in the shape of fences, fuel, barrels, boxes, and small utensils had escaped. But looking over toward the river bank where hugh mountains of ice reared their heads twenty

feet high, the people could well afford to be thankful. Had that shore gorge given completely away and allowed the heaving chan- nel, which watchers say was at times ten feet higher than the shore, to sweep through the city, it is doubtful whether a house would have been left standing in the inundated region, or a steam- er remained at the levee.
Cruel and savage as those awful glaciers appear, the salvation of lower Yankton resulted from their remaining where they did, and nothing but the fact that the receding of the waters of the first gorge allowed them to settle into the mud of the bar, where they were frozen into a solid mass, from six to twenty feet deep, a mile long and from twenty to forty rods wide, prevented them from be- ing driven from their places by the Titanic strength of Tuesday's rise, and hurled through the streets, plowing a furrow of destrue- tion sickening to contemplate. Enough iee did break through to show its power. and the result if the whole had moved cannot be doubted. The fate that was Green Island's would have been lower Yankton's, and where the loss can now be computed by tens of thousands, it would have been hundreds of thousands.
THE SUBMERGED BOTTOMS.
The reports brought in from time to time, this week, by parties engaged in the work of rescuing the inhabitants from the bottoms, between Yankton and Vermillion, are of the most horrifying de- scription. A thiekly settled valley, twenty-five miles long and from five to ten miles wide, which two weeks ago presented a rich and flourishing aspect, dotted closely with cozy and comfortable farm houses, is now nothing but a desert of water and ice, whose monotony is only broken here and there by the roof of some house or the tops of a grove of trees. The great ice floes are piled in fan- tastie shapes, which rival the very Bad Lands for wonderful views, while the air of utter desolation and woe which hangs over this Gehenna of destroying elements chills the stoutest heart. Not a foot of this whole traet but is covered not less than two feet with water. Many of the lighter and less substantial houses have been carried away, while of the hundreds of barns and sheds with their thousands of cattle, horses and hogs, but a very small portion re- mains. It is amid such scenes of sorrow and sadness as these that the crews of Capt. Lavender, S. K. Felton, J. H. Moulton, Erick Iverson, C. H. Bates, Capt. Noble, Wm. Giggey and many others, have been working for over a week past. During that time they

have removed nearly three hundred people to the bluffs, and the work is still going on, many people being yet on the bottoms.
UP THE RIVER.
The reports received this week from points above Yankton, nearly all confirm the worst published in our last issne. Commen- eing at Smutty Bear bottom two or three miles above the city, and extending to Mandan, opposite Bismarck, is bnt the unbroken record of casualty and disaster. . Everything within the reach of the yeasty mountains of water that have passed us, has been swallowed up, and reports of loss of life are quite numerous Frankfort bottom, opposite Smutty Bear, which was well stocked with horses and cattle, is ripped from end to end, and is now but one solid field of ice. Hundreds of animals were seen to be over- whelmed from this side, but nothing is yet definitely known as to the loss of human life.
GREEN ISLAND'S HORROR.
The horrible catastrophe which overtook Green Island last week loses nothing of its appalling features, save that there is now a probability that no lives were lost save that of Mischke, who ;is yet unaccounted for. Most of the people have been removed to this side or to the Nebraska bluffs, although at the time of the flood on Monday and Tuesday of this week, there were still people at the Morton residence and the brick house below town. Noth- ing has been heard from them since then, but they are believed to be all right. The narratives of some of the rescued who are stop- ping in Yankton are thrilling in the extreme. Clinging to house- tops and trees. they may be said to have fought a hand-to-hand fight. Not a man on the whole bottom saved a dollar's worth of property, with the exception of a few head of cattle which gath- ered on the high knoll at the Morton residence. The net loss must be nearly $50.000, not taking into consideration the incalen- lable value of many household goods destroyed, which were hal- lowed by the tender memories of a life time, and which, had they been saved, would have gone far toward breaking the bitterness of the greater losses.
The lives actually known to be lost, as reported thus far, are remarkably few, considering the scenes of deadly peril that so many have passed through. We pray that the list may not be swollen by fuller particulars from isolated places. The following
255
THE FLOOD AT YANKTON.
are the only persons known to be drowned, and those who are gen- erally given up: Joseph Inch, Hans Cole, J. Mischke. Joseph Loe- ber, Frank Bates, wife and child. Wm. Hadderman, unknown man and squaw at White Swan.
At the time of the issuance of this pamphlet (April 9th, 1881), the waters are rapidly subsiding. The reports that come in from the submerged sections are in the highest degree encouraging, and but for the loss of property and the suffering engendered by expos- ure, but few complaints would be heard.
Gratifying news from Meckling and Gayville announces that the water is rapidly seeking its level, and that no lives have been lost, thanks to the efforts of the gallant crews of rescuers who have worked so indefatigably since the commencement of the flood. Some portions of the bottom are now dry and if the waters con- tinue to fall as there is but little doubt but they will. the whole will soon be passable for footmen. The only place not heard from is the remote corner of Haggin's Bend, where several families are known to have been at the commencement of the flood. Grave fears are entertained as to their safety. At Elk Point, news received to-day, renders it certain that no damage has been done except what has resulted from the rush of water four feet deep through the streets. The most of the inhabitants had fled to the high bluffs on the Iowa side of the Sioux River, eight miles dis- tant. Never before had water been known to enter the limits of Elk Point, which is regarded as the highest point between the junction of the Sioux and Missouri Rivers and Yankton, a distance of about 60 miles. From the country between Elk Point and Sioux City, a distance of about 20 miles, most deplorable accounts are received. From a distance of five miles beyond Elk Point and extending to the junction of the rivers, the water has been from 5 to 12 feet deep. Every hoof of stock is destroyed, and with them human lives. Houses. barns, fences and farming implements were all swept away in one common ruin, and the farmers of that dis- trict, accounted the richest in the Territory, are left almost penni- less. The whole bottom, from Vermillion to Sioux Point, is rep- resented to be entirely covered with monstrous cakes of ice, with the exception of a small spot in the immediate vicinity of Elk Point. All reports tend to confirm the general belief that in the immediate vicinity of the river below Vermillion many lives have been lost, and, indeed, taking into consideration the extreme width

and lowness of the valley in that region, it could hardly be other- wise. The loss, of course, in property, is simply incalculable. Coming toward home, but little change remains to report from the accounts from the Herald, preceding this concluding chapter. The bottomis, of course, are in a terrible condition and hundreds of peo- ple are in a state of utter destitution. Thousands upon thousands of cattle and horses are lying dead, and a very hell of havoc and ruin is presented to the gaze. For miles and miles the valley is strewn with the wrecks and fragments of what two weeks ago were happy homes. and seeking shelter among neighbors are to be found hundreds of people who were but lately considered independent. A terrible change it is, truly; but already there are signs of a re- viving spirit. The grit and determination of the true westerner shows forth in the words and actions of every impoverished settler," and it will be but a few weeks until the hum of agricultural indus- try will be heard on the spots where the devastating ice now rests in absolute possession. The waters are seeking their natural chan- nel, the sun is beginning to shine, and with the springing up of the grass, and the coming of seed-time, the sorrows of the present will be forgotten in the whirl of industry and preparation for future prosperity.
Here in Yankton "things" are O. K. People who fied to escape the [rising floods are moving back, losers are counting up their losses, and the whole city is devoted to the work of relieving the wants of the needy, made so by the infernal (if we may be par -. doned the word) floods of the last two weeks. Everybody rejoices over the subsidence of the waters, and joy runs particularly high over the comparatively small loss of life. The "oldest inhabitant" and the "tenderfoot" lie down together and each tells stories of equal magnitude. Business commences to revive, and with the opening of the railroad, which Superintendent Sanborn assures us will take place at the earliest practicable date, the city will take on its normal aspect.
