Cling To Rock 36 Hours
J. W. Morris, who is in charge
of the South Fork end of the Or
egon City pipe line, tells of the
narrow escape of two fishermen,
from death in the upper Clacka
mas River, while attempting last
week, to raft across near Fish
Creek.
According to Mr. Morris, four
Portland fishermen from the
Woodstock section, one of whose
name was Kiser, after having
made a good catch of trout at the
Big Eddy on Sunday, June 25th,
attempted to raft across the
river the following day.
Two of the party, with the
camp supplies, started on a make
shift raft, which was caught in
the swift current of the swollen
stream. The voyagers lost their
poles and when the raft struck a
rock in mid river, scrambled onto
it, abandoning the broken raft
and losing all blankets, food and
supplies.
This rock projected about
twelve inches above wate - and
the two soaked fishermen remain
ed on this perilous island until
the following evening, when
after six o’clock they were finally
rescued by their companions.
The two companions who had
remained on shore, 3pent all of
Monday in trying to reach their
marooned comrades and finding
their efforts futile, arrived at
Morris’ cabin late that night,
where they obtained 100 yards of
heavy rope, an axe and other
supplies. Owing to the contin
ued rain and darkness, the rescu
ers did not reach the spot on the
river; opposite their stranded com
panions until daylight Tuesday.
After spending hours in get
ting the rope out to the famished
and weakened fishermen on the
rock, they succeeded in pulling
both ashore, one of them being
gotten out in an unconscious con
dition, suffering from exposure
and by being beaten against the
rocks during the struggle toshore.
Mr. Morris took the party to
his camp, where after eating
and getting a night’s rest, they
proceeded to Portland.
Experienced fishermen on the
Clackamas, know that to attempt
a crossing of the river even dur
ing the summer months when the
water is low, is a dangerous un
dertaking, as several bad acci
dents have occured in past years
from this cause, but probably
some of the enthusiastic Portland
anglers will try it again, despite
the warnings of the local rangers
and fishermen.
