The Sheriff stated that only light boats were available at SL Charles, and owing to the heavy current It was Impossible to reach tho people without the aid of a river steamer.

The Cologne levee, just south, of East SL Louis, broke at midnight, and 500 colored families who inhabit that district were driven from their homes. Many had nar row escapes from drowning. The. swollen Mississippi has spread out like an inland sea over the Illinois shore in the vicinity of East SL Louis. Far away to the southeast the water covers Lower SL Louis. The railroad and shipping district of East SL Louis presents a small peninsula on which frelghthouses stand a short dis tance above the flood, but beyond these frelghthouses extends a lake a half mile wide, and the water at the eastern edge laps at the foundation of tall building blocks. North of East SL Louis the east ern boundary of the flood's expanse can not be described.

At the stockyards the dead cattle and hogs are being hauled to the Kansas River and thrown In, to drift down. It is not feasible to bury the carcasses. The dead animals will probably accumulate In drift heaps down the river.
