 Sixteen men clinging to beacons in Mo- bile bay after being forced to desert the frail boats in which they were hunting or fishing, were rescued by the tug Claude, Captain Clark, after several hours expos- ure. and many others were seen in peril o,ls situations by men on the Claude and other tugs but these were too distant and too shallow water to make assistance pos sble.
 One launch with several women aboard, apparently disabled, drifted past one or the buoys where several men were ma rooned, and no report has been made of the accident since.
 The storm struck the city with the sud- denness of d tornado, accompanied by a terrific rain and a drop in temperature of 23 degrees within 30 minutes. The water in the bay was lashed into foam and scores of small boats that had dis regarded the bulletin warning of the weather bureau were caught far from the shore in open boats.
 Several of these parties managed 10 get 10 the beacons marking the ship channels, their boats either swampng or going adrift soon after they had reached a place of safety; others tried to make the shore hut with what success will be impossible to determine until reports come in from roints along both shores of the bay to the Associated Press.
