MrMIIJ.AN EXPEDITION IS STORMBOUND TODAY Monhegiin i*ia*4. Maine, (Ml. 10 The MacMlllan arctic e*p?-i dltlon. Juat returning from a ae vere summer In the Arctic, found Itself atorin bound on the coast of MonheKnn todav leap than 40. mile* from the end Of their Jour-j ney home Bursting through the spill way at the locks near South Mills, the waters in the Diu rnal Swamp Canal were pour ing in a turbulent black tor rent into the runway to Pas quotank River Saturday, after having wreaked havoc esti ' mated at $25,000 to $30,000 i which will take months to re pair, in the opinion of B. F. Forehand, superintendent at the locks. Two barges belonging to tU* Foreman-Dlados Lumber Com* pany. of thin city, and the schoon er George H. Malllaon, of tbe ! Globe Flali Company, alao of Eliz abeth City, are stranded In tlhi fust drying canal, near 8oHt* Mill*, together with a arnall gav boat. The tug Clay Foreman, which was towing the barges, manag*! to scurry to aafety. cutting loo?o from her town, shortly after the > break occurred. She pUMl: through the locka into the aea la*? el canal stretch beyond, and then#? i Into Pasquotank River. The stranded craft muit remain where they are until the damage la re paired and the water In the canal Is raised to Its former level. The break in the foundations Of the spillway occurred Saturday morning at about 9:30 o'clock, ac cording to Mr. Forehand, who stated that In 46 minutes the wat er* had burat through the dam at the aouth end of the spillway, rutting a channel 60 to 76 feat wide and uprooting a large syca more tree which toppled croaswli* of the swirling torrent. When the break first occurred, | Mr. Forehand said. the waters (?iilrkly toss into the front yard of his home, some 20 feet from tho spillway. Fearing that the house would bo swept away, he hurried* ly notified his family to get to gether what belongings they could and hasten to a place of safety. However, when the waters had cut their way through the bank at tha I end of the spillway, they were dl 1 verted from the vicinity of the house, and soon dropped many feet. The disaster Is attributed to the Htraln Imported on rotting timbers and piling In the foundation of ? the spillway, through the fact that the water on the outaldc of the locks wa* three feet below tha level of the t ana I bottom. Th?? weight of millions of gallons #?f i water was more than the founds* lions of the structure would sup port. The spillway Itaelf la of C0U ,cr?te. and was built In 1916, but i the foundation work had been la stalled some ten years before, at? cording to Mr. Forehand, and was not replaced when the concrete I superstructure was built. He stat ed the catastrophe was the worst which had befallen the canal wlth : In more than 20 years, snd eatl ( msted thst It would require until ?
