On Through the Night -- Soldiers of the 201st and the 199th Engineer Battalions from Camp McCoy, Wisc., bolster the dikes along the rising Missouri River here tonight as they race against time and the rising water in their battle to save the city from inundation. The hastily erected wooden barrier, erected today atop the earthen dikes, was being reinforced with sandbags and dirt to hold back the water.
