almost necessarily since the commencement Of
tie month, sometimes in torrents, and il was
feered that great damage had been done by

bridges had occurred on the Presumpecott and
S2ccarappa rivers, part of the dam above
S4ccarappa bridge and the boom below il hav-
iLg been carried away, and large number of
logs been swept off. 1t was feared too that Sc
ye:al houses would meet the same fate.
