The high gale and rainstorm
which swept over the eastern part
of the country during yesterday and
last night caused considerable dam
age along the waterfront in this
city. The waves, which were un-
usually large, washed great
amount of driftwood ashore, and in
some places big timbers were cast
far up on the beaches. 1t gave the
waterfront the appearance that a
shipwreck had occurred in the bay.
as the larger part of the driftwood
was parts of old boats.
The waves were so high that most
of the material washed on shore
was deposited but few feet from
the buildings on the several beaches
and some porches of bathing houses
showed signs. that waves had wash
ed over them.
tied to stakes and docks along the
waterfront were sunk. One motor
boat near the Raritan Yacht Club
dock became so filled with water
that its bow was only visible above
the surface. Many boats suffered
the loss of their canvas covers,
which had been ripped off by the
high wind, causing the waves to
half fill them with water. Many
boat owners were seen pumping
water out of their boats early this
morning. and material from lockers
was brought ashore to dry.
There was no evidence of any
docks being damaged by the storm.
No boats were reported lost by
breaking from their mooring. Sew
eral motorboats pulled ashore for
the winter were partly filed by the
waves that swept the beaches. The
waves were 50 large that they wash
ed material over the concrete wall
on Front street near Walters dock
and filled the cutters with drift
