The terrific gale that swept the coast in
the early part of the week and which landed
a big steel steamer on the bar at the Inlet,
apparently blew all the fog and rain out Of
the atmosphere. The storm was followed in
a few hours by brilliant sunshine and soft,
spring-like temperature. The boardwalk has
been crowded since the clouds rolled by and
the rush shoreward is without precedent
at any time outside Of midsummer days.
The railroads brought more than twenty
thousand people within the past forty eight
hours and the travel hither has been heavy
and constant throughout the week.
