Ran Into Heavy Storm

President Harding and his party on
the yacht Mayfower ran into a stormy
experience off Black Island, X. l.,
while making the voyage TO Plymouth
last night.
When the Mayfiower locked today
il was learned that she had encOun-
tered a severe electrical storm. A
thunderholt sent its impulse through
the wireless apparatus and spark
of some length was thrown off but
the adjustment was such that the
force of the bolt was absorbed with
out shock. The President, preparing
his speech for today. did not know OF
it until he remarked upon the down
pour.
The rainfall was so great that il
seemed TO still the sea and the May
flower rode through the storm as
smoothly as on a mill pond.
