...Bavaria and western Austria, rain fell steadily for two weeks. The Inn, Traun, Enns and Ilz Rivers, swollen and heavy with flotsam, emptied into the surging Danube. At points of confluence, Passau and Linz, there was catastrophe. At Linz, in three days, the Danube doubled in width and tripled in depth, forcing 15,000 people to leave their homes. At Passau the river stage was 40 feet, 22 inches higher than the previous record...

With their secret compartment now stocked with hot coffee and thirst-quenching beer, the three generations of fugitive Cechs rolled over the U.S. border into Linz.

On Sunday, crowds packed the cathedral and the streets around it as Theodor Cardinal Innitzer celebrated a pontifical Mass at the restored high altar. From the gate, the great bell of Stefanskirche pealed its greetings to the city, for the first time since Easter...
