The boys were play-In play-In In a flat bottomed scow, half a mile above the rapid, when the rope holding the boat broke and they were carried out Into the stream and went down the river. The boys, realizing their fate, stood up as the boat ncared the edge of the roaring whirlpool, and shook hands In farewell. A second later they were engulfed en-gulfed by a great wave in the rapids.
