Incident Report:
"A boy on an inner tube went over the dam and was held by the "boil". Some skiers above the damn tried to assist by attempting to lower a man over the dam on a ski rope. The motor faltered allowing the boat to be swept over the dam. The boy was hauled up the buttress. The drowning victim was found near the life jacket floating in the bottom center of the picture. His rope had become wound around a large rock by the current."
