Rivers overflowed in many
states but not all were destruc
tive. Heroism, for instance, cheat
ed the San Saba river at San
Saba, Tex., of more victims. A
score of persons marooned on
rooftops were saved by a man
who swam the racing current to
secure a wire lifeline. Among
those saved were 10 children of
one family.
Earlier the river, which went
to 45 feet Saturday, receded and
rose to 42 1-2 feet yesterday, had
claimed two lives and flooded
nearly all of San Saba, washing
away 30 house.s and making 30O
homeless.
Many states liad flood refugees.
About 1,200 were driven out In
West Virginia, which a’so re
ported a slight landslide and a
dozen bridges washed out. New
England states had hundreds of
families without homes.
Seven of the week-long storm’s
deaths were recorded In New
