TRIP ON MISSISSIPPI IS FOUND PERILOUS

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 9 (U. P). —Raymond Kurtz, 19, near-victim of a 2000-mile river journey from St. Paul, Minn., has enough of the Mississippi for a while.

The Richmond, Minn., high school student left St. Paul last July aboard the Minnesota, a squarerigged catboat he built himself. The trip required 59 days. During that time he suffered from an attack of malaria brought on by the bites of river swamp mosquitoes. Shortly after he recovered, he slipped and fell from a barge at Natchez, Miss, and was struck by the paddle wheel of a steamer. He was thrown beneath a barge and nearly drowned.
