The effects of the storm were felt most
seriously on Lake Huron, twenty-four

BY CHARLES A. AARBAuGH.

While the past winter season was COM
paratively mild in this latitude, in other
sections of the country, particularly the
States on the Upper Atlantic coast and
the Great Lakes, were visited by sue
cession of gales which left behind them a
record of devastation and death.
No local governmental agency keeps
closer watch upon weather conditions
along our coasts than does the Life Saw
ing Service, with its vigilant corps of
trained beachmen- None other, more
over, is in position sooner to learn OF the
occurrence of disasters to shipping. The
establishment has many hundreds of
miles of telephone lines. which, connect
ing. as they do, with the telegraph sys-
TENS of the country, affords means OF
quick communication with headquarters.
These lines are invariably busy during
and after heavy storms.
Thus il was that in the early part OF
November last, messages from the re-
gton of the Great Lakes, where are locat-
ed sixty life-saving stations. were receiV-
ed at the central Office in Washington,
bringing news of a great atmospheric dis
turbance in progress there, and telling
something of its effects. The storm con-
tinued with little abatement for the bet
ter part of four days. The men who sent
the messages could form no estimate OF
the storms awful work. No one. indeed,
was able to do this until weeks had
elapsed.
Vessels Disabled at Sen.
The life-saving service is essentially
coast guard. 1t is not designed to afford
protection to vessels at sea Its duties
consist mainly in warning ships away
from inshore dangers and in performing
rescue and salvage work, when ships are
so unfortunate as to be driven ashore.
Nearly two-thirds of the number of YES
sells damaged and lost in this storm were
overwhelmed out in open water. many OF
them miles from land. These were be-
yond the reach OF tine ine-throwing gun
and the Iife-savers boats, and. therefore,
outside the field of operations of the serv-
ice. So there was much delay in obtain
ing data upon which anything approach
ing an accurate estimate of the loss OF
life and damage to property could be
made.
The informal tion now at hand furnishes
what is believed to be a reliable and
fairly complete record of the storms
havoc. This record is composed largely
of replies made by boat captains TO
