NORMANDY AND BRITTANY
SUFFER BY GALE AND TIDE
Record of Forty Years Broken by
Storm Which Flooded Coast
Towns and Villages.

PARIS. March 16.-A terrific gale and
the highest tide of the year last night
worked great havoc along the coasts of
Normandy and Brittany. In the bay OF
ST. Michael. in the southwestern part OF
Normandy, no such tide has been eX-
perlenced in forty years. Huge waves
dashed against the ramparts OF Mont
St Michel, a rocky little island in the
bay on which is situated the famous old
Benedictine Abbey, to a height not usu-
ally reached by the waters. and the gar
dens and fields in Avrancheo. Genest and
other villages and towns on the coast
were flooded. Three hundred feet of the
sea wall at Granville were swept away.
Heavy Loss at Dieppe.
The damage at Dieppe was very great
A large portion of the promenade was
wrecked and harbor Improvements under
construction were destroyed.
Pebbles were washed in by the sea in
such quantities that the river Scie was
damned at it's mouth and the valley OF
the river flooded for several miles
In the region of lie Treport, sixteen
miles north of Dieppe, the sea penetrated
at many places half mile iniand. mum
dating houses, from which the inhablt-
ants made hasty escapes. AT many
places portions of the cliffs gave way,
leaving houses built on the edges IN
danger of crashing down.
