Show Going Nowhere; just Draining Island! Is- 4? . . J . The old river steamer D. J. Peters has steam up and paddles spinning but It isn't going anywhere. High water broke through a levee to inundate Mandeville Island, In the delta of California's San Joaquin River. The Peters with three other steamers went on the island area through the levee break. The break was repaired, and all now are churning water which runs off the island and back into the river through flumes. When the big job is ended, the steamers will be ashore, and used as bunkhouses. |
