Scow Lodged Above Niagara Threatens Falls Rescue Efforts
Niagara Falls engineers may move to prevent damage to the cataract as a copper-bottomed scow wedged in the riverbed near the falls endangers the famous view. Two laborers and 2000 tons of stone aboard dumped loads to halt the craft during 24 hours before rescue by breeches buoy. The scow is valued at 60000 and may not be recovered due to cost. Local officials from both sides plan engineer consultation to possibly drag it toward shore.
