A volunteer force of 20 St Louis citizens under Mayor Geneen and Assistant Chief Keely carried out a perilous river rescue near Mullanphy Island in the Missouri River.

The team faced strong currents, waded through water, and aided evacuees to St Charles aboard the ferryboat Fawn while property losses mounted across the region.
