REHOBOTH BEACH, Del, Dec. T.
With the storm unabated at noon, ana
with prospects of the highest tides IN
tbe history of the resort rushing IN early
this afternoon. Rehoboth Beach has been
greatly damaged by the storm and VIII
he a long time recovering from 1t. In
fact serious doubts are expressed here
TODAY as to how the town will be able
financially to replace the boardwalk that
has been swept away and to restore pa
vilIons and fiji in Surf avenue, which has
been eaten away by the pounding OF the
mountainous waves that are rolllng III
wildly.
while but one of the cottages that
sIxirt Surf avenue had been actually car
ried away up to noon several OF them have
been partially undermined by the high
water. and it is feared they will topple
down or be carried away should the
tide early this afternoon be as high as
some persons expect it to be. As 1t 49,
the tide early this morning reached the
highest point in the history Of the resort
The cottage of DR.. e. S. Anderson,
of Dover, at Surf and Virginia ave-
nues. was inundated and with its
contents tumbled into the sea this
morning shortly before noon. The
cottages of DR.. Robert Baer and Mrs.
Anna Parsons, of Wilmington, ad-
Joining, early this afternoon were ex-
pected to follow the Anderson cottage
seaward.
At noon the wind, which had
reached a velocity of so miles an
hour at times, subsided somewhat.
The electric lights and gas lamps
have been cut OFF, many leaks having
been caused in gas pipes by the sea
pounding them, and the water sup
ply was cut off. Rehoboth IS now
without light or water.
The new bathhouses owned by MT
Hill on the strand have been carried
TO sea, and at one o'clock half o.
Horns pier and pavilion had beer
swept away. The water has cut AZ
feet into many avenues running IRON

has swept along Delaware avenue Tor
some distance. The Hotel Henlopen
practically is isolated because Of the
water surrounding it.
Surf avenue at one time was 200 feet
wide 1t is the street between the line
of ocean front cottages and the board
walk. Battering of the storm practical
ly has cut away this street, which in
places was twelve feet above the level
of the strand, and was protected in
front in many places by bulkheads oil
pilings.
These bullxheads have been snapped
off like they were reeds by the hammer
ing of the ocean, and each wave as it
washed in carried part of the avenue
away with it. While the ocean end of
Horns pavilion was carried away yes
terday, the end connecting with the
boardwalk was undermined this morn
ing and fell into the ocean. At the time
c. A. Horn, who owns the pavilion
which is the only public pier the town
has, was preparing to move the stock OF
goods from his stores on the structure,
but all will be lost, entailing a damage
of several thousand dollars in stock
aside from the value of the pier.
All along the ocean front from the
southern end to the northern end the
water has risen up to the cottages
along Surf avenue. and the sidewalks
in front Of the properties have been
carried away. Men were busy yester-
day and today removing the furniture
and household effects from the vari-
Gus cottages in fear that the struc-
lures may go when the high tide
sweeps in early this afternoon.
While most of the boardwalk has
been demolished, the new section
north of the Hotel Henlopen, which
was constructed under the supervi-
sion of Benjamin A. Shaw, of VIII
