THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906. FLOATING DOWN RAG NG STREAM Survivor of Oklahoma Train Wreck Tells of Strug gles for Life. NUMBER OF DEAD UNKNOWN Submerged Smoklng-Car Still Far X.'nder Water AVith Unknown dumber of Bodies Quick wind May Swallow It. GUTHRIE. Okla., Sept. 19 A special to the State Capital from Kingfisher says that one of the crew of the wrecked Rock Island passenger train is authority for the statement that a woman and child entered the toilet-room of the smoking car Just as that coach plunged into the river. They were undoubtedly lost. H. H. Balmer, who was rescued after floating 14 miles down the Cimarron, tells the following graphic etory: 'There were 15 or 16 of us in that smoking-car. I was Just in the act of leaving the smoker for the coach behind, and had reached the door when we went down. I CM not realize for a few seconds what had happened. I found myself scrambling over the seats 'in the smoker, where I had been thrown when the car tipped up on end, going into the water in that posi tion. In some way, I don't think I will ever be able to tell how, I extricated my self from the wreckage and the next thing I knew I was struggling in the water. It was icy cold. "I felt myself going down and down. Then presently I came to the surface hanging to a piece of the demolished coach. By this time I was well out in the river and the strong current was bearing me swiftly down stream. I saw people around me struggling, but of course could offer no assistance, it being as much as I could do to keep my head above water. In a few minutes I was far down the river and thought that death was near, for with the undercurrent so strong I was pulled under continually, each time be coming more weak. I clung to my piece of wreckage with a death grip and strug gled with all my might to keep myself from sinking. "Not until I had floated 14 miles down the river could I get near enough to the shore to grab anything to hang to. The current would swing me around, causing . the waves to break over my face, and each time I would go under. Six times I remember saying 'Good-bye,' thinking I should never see the sun again, but com ing up a new force would impel me to make one more effort. "At last I came t a bend in the swol len stream and the current took me close , to the shore. I made one last attempt, and, more dead than alive from exhaus tion, clung to some bushes on the bank. I do not remember how I got up the bank, but when I regained full conscious ness I was lying high and dry on the grass. A farmer presently drove by, helped me to his house, and afterwards brought me to town." Balmer left yesterday evening for his home in Lawrence, Kan. SMOKER FAR BELOW WATER Submerged Car Cannot Be Reached Till Flood Subsides. OUTHTIIE. Okla., Sept. 19. A spe cial to the State Capital says that to night the Cimarron River at the bridge north of Dover, where the Rock Island passenger train plunged into the stream yesterday, had fallen eight feet below the high water mark. The top of the submergedsmoker is still six or seven feet under the surface and at the rate of the river's fall it will be 24 hours before the rescuers can get to the isolated car. One man whose name could not be learned was fished out of the river at a point nine miles below the bridge. He was nearly dead when brought to King fisher. He had been nine hours in the water, clinging to floating debris. tlST OF MISSING AND INJURED Many Passengers Picked Up Alive Miles Down River. KINGFISHER, Okla., Sept. 19.

The typhoon which swept this port, destroying a great number of vessels, and causing much loss of life, was of a local nature. It came suddenly and without warning. The ob servatory had predicted moderate winds. Half an hour after the gun signal had been fired the storm was at its height. It lasted two hours. Most of the damage done was wrought on the Kowloon Peninsula. The losses are estimated at several million dollars. Over 1000 sampans and junks are missing from Hongkong alone. Wharves were swept away and houses collapsed. The military barracks are in ruins.. The steamers Monteagle,. Fatshan, Keung Shang, Wing Chal, Hermania, Castellano, Takhing. Emma Duyken.

Hundreds of Chinese boatmen and their families were saved by the bravery of the police and civilians, but several thousand of the Chinese water-dwellers must have per ished, many within short distances of the shore. The losses in lives and property among the Chinese were appalling. To day the police stations in Hongkong are surrounded by Chinese identifying their dead.

The English mail steamers Delhi and Poona escaped damage. The British cruiser Terrible entered port yesterday afternoon and reported fine weather up to the harbor. Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor of Hong kong, and the authorities, are doing everything possible to render assistance. Reports of -fresh disasters are arriving every hour. Only a few Europeans are missing. No reports are on hand to show how the fishing fleets and the ships outside the harbor fared. Public opinion is incensed at the ob servatory for not reporting the approach ing typhoon. An inquiry has been de manded. For years past the observatory has been subjected to adverse comment, but on this occasion It is not believed to be blameable. Right Rev. Joseph Charlrc Hoare An glican bishop of Victoria (Hongkong), was on board the yacht Pioneer, which strand ed in Castle Peak Bay. Mrs. Hoare has gone in a government launch to search for the bishop. Lives were also lost In Kowloon Bay.
