Far Rockaway. Aug 5.-The storm when
struck here late this afternoon was one of the
most violent ever known n this ncighborhood'
Outside Of this place considerable damage was
done by lightning. The guests at the ArVerhe
Hotel were driven out into the storm in panic
by a bolt that struck the hotel. The storm came
I'D suddenly and was accompanied by vivid
flashes Of lightning and terrific peals Of thun-
der The guests at the Arvecae Hotel were all
indoors as the wind carried the rain In sheets
IN every direction.
During a lull in the storm there was blind
ing fash Of lightning followed by a report like
a salvo Of artillery. Some one cried that the
hotel had been struck and rush was made for
the doors. Many guests ran out into the rain
without coats or headgear. and 1t was some time
before the hotel people could induce them to re-
turn An examination showed that a bolt Of
lightning had struck the roof and run down the
side Of the building. A long black mark showed
it's course. A short distance from the hotel
stands the cottage Of Charles Lehman. This
house was also struck. and 1t is thought by the
same fash that hit the hotel Neither place was
damaged 10 any extent
There were many cottagers and hotel guests
In bathing when the storm broke. The bathers
had no time TO reach the lighthouses. A high
wind carried the water up to the dressing rooms
and the rising tide soon reached those sheIters'
Those who in the water ran to the motel
and some who had managed TO reach the BATH
houses had TO make their escape soon after en-
tering them. The water dashed over the nttie
structures. soaking everything inside. There
was a funny sight after the rain stopped. Every
one who had been in the water was compeHed
to walk 10 the hotel or home In bathing suit
