DAMAGE ssAs Bosrox
Bosros. oot st.-Ths old.fashioned
northeast storm has prevailed in this
section since Thursday night. It is
uoss violent along the water front al
though no damage Is reported within
the city limits. Al Revere Beach the
wind and high tide played sad
havoc The Woburn House, built on tho
shore st the north end of Crescent
beach. was lifted from It's foundations
and settled deep in the sand.
Friday afternoon a small sloop yacht
was lifted bodily by the wind and waves
and deposited on the bed Of the Bos ton,
Revere Beach 6 Lynn railroad. The
bowsprit projected across the tracks and
was struck by q train from Boston.
The boat was thrown over in such po-
sitio1 that the projecting mast was
struck so forcibly rs 20 throw the boat
back into the water. where il sunk.
Alcng she south shore the storm is
reported rs the most severe since the
big storm Of November. 1855. At Prov
ideace Friday forenoon the schooner
Emily Bell broke edrift and is now
ashore in the hsrbsr in an easy position.
Aside from this no disasters are report
ed. but il is feared that number of
wrecks will occur. The coast is closely
patrolled by men from the life-saying
stations. but the tremendous seas would
render their efforts az rescue almost
unsvailing should their services oe
needed.
At Scituate the wharves were flooded
az high tido and part Of Front street
is under water. The schooner Active
flled and sunk at her wharf, but all
other craft in the harbor are in safe
quarters. Il was reported that a brig
or bark was wrecked at Fourth Cliff,
sus she rumor can not BE- confirmed.
The storm has been unusually heavy
In Southern Vermont Brastleboro re-
ports two and one-haf inches of rain.
