STORM IS RAGING
ALONG THE COAST
Three Marine Accidents Reported, But They Were
Not Accompanied by Loss of Life Nantucket
Lightshp, Beacon to Ocean Liners, Blown from
Her Position

BOSTON, Dec. THE southern
storm which first made itself evident
on the New England coast early Satur-
day was raging relentlesslv today and
up to noon had caused three marine ae-
cidents. The accidents were not ac-
companied by loss of life
The six-master schooner, Alice Law
ence of Portland, grounded in Nan
tucket sound. The Nantucket light
ship was wrenched from her mushroom
anchor and a similar accident happen
ed to a little schooner in Point judith
harbor
The position of the Lawrence was
considered precarious, especially as
great seas prevented any near ap-
proach by lifesavers.
The storm apparently was in evi-
dence near Cuba and, working up
through the gulf Of Mexico and across
the peninsula, reached Cape Hatteras
Saturday. From late Saturday night
until today Block Island and Nan.
tucket were swept by a continuous
gale Of more than 90 miles an hour,
the minimum velocity at the former
island being - miles, practically =
hurricane.
Very little rain fell in New England
until today and then only on the
southeast coast.
The seas running in Massachusetts
bay today are said to be the highest
| in years.
The unusual strength of the storm
was shown in the cutting adrift Of the
Nantucket ightship. This floating
| beacon, anchored 43 miles off the IS
land as the outpost for European ship
| ping bound to Europe, had outridden
many previous gales, owing principally
to the fact that the mooring chain to
the mushroom anchor was buoyed, but
yesterdays gale proved too much for

lpower, but one boiler was put out OF

Ten years ago the lightship met with
a similar accident and was blown
nearly to Cape Hatteras before she was
able to weather the gale.
