Alexandria. Va. November l3-Ap.
ProNimately seventeen river craft,
most OF them launches from Washing
ton. all filled with occupants from
Alexandria and Washington, were
blown high and dry OH the rocks on
night and early yesterday afternoon
during the progress of tho terrific
storm which played havoc on the Po-
tomac.
The parties were not rescued until
this morning, and many OF the little
crafts are still high and dry on the
rocks and Will not be gotten out until
the tide changes. Several of the boats
wero damaged considerably, but none
OF the occupants was hurt.
The occupants OF many OF these frail
crafts are to day telling thrilling ex-
periences of the time they had during
the storm and of tho frigid weather
conditions they were under all night
On the bleak Potomac.
The storm was one OF the worse en- :
countered on the river in many years.
Among the Alexandria boats caught
were the gasolene launches Augusta,
owned by II. August Gains. and tn.
Edna Earle. b. Harry Flcsnmann and
irwin Schwarznann, this city. On the
former boat were August Gains. Lor-

Of this city.
The Enda Earle was dashed to the
augusta and the latter was iilled with
WashinBtonians. including women,
children and men. The entire party
mad attended an oyster roast at
bungalow at Collinwood Beach. and
promptly at o'clock all hands en-
barked aboard deciding TO make
hurried trip to Alexandria. although
the heavens were filled with dark and
ominous looking clouds. No sooner
had the two little craft started out
into the river than there came ter.
rifle gale, which swept them clear
across the river. Just north OF River
View, five miles below Alexandria.
The boats were dashed against the
rocks. Darkness had set in and the
women were terror-stricken.
Intellectual efforts TO get telephone
communication with Alexandria were
made. Parties from here set out in the
choppy waters In search OF the Alex
nndrians. whose relatives were frantic
over their protracted absence. There
