FREDERICA

week was one of the worst we have
had for years. The heavy rains were
accompanied by winds OF such velocity
that large trees were uproOted. veg
citation stripped of foliage and guam
titles of ripe fruit and much that was
not ripe was blown from the trees.
Several mill dams in the vicinity were
blown out and the back water caused
the MurderkiA river and Spring Greek
to overflow into the north and south
causeways which rendered the roads
almost impossible. The following day
being Big Thursday at Bowers found
the travelling public in a predicament.

were either stuck in the mud or were
stranded with water in the engines
Transfers were in waiting to tow
passengers over the causeways. At
the steamboat wharf where the tide
overfiowed small boys in wading boots
carried parcels to the steamer and
ferried passengers across in row
boats. They reaped a harvest of nick
