persons are reported to have been
drowned off City Island in Long IS
land Sound when the mad storm that
hit the city late today capsized
scores of small pleasure craft. Eight
bdies have been recovered and 80
more persons are reported missing.
Twenty thousand holiday makers
went to City Island today and half
went out on the waters of Pelham
Bay 1t was jammed with boats or
every description when the storm hit
lit. Few had opportunity to get
ashore. The known casualties oc-
Cured off Execution Light, which is
abou six miles east Of City Island;
Rat Island about three miles east,
and another island nearby.
1t is estimated by Lieutenant Jo-
seph Reilly of the City Island de-
tectives that no fewer than 10000
persons were fishing off these places
when the storm broke. After it had
passed and the sky cleared, the wat
ers of Pelham Bay and Long Island
Sound were dotted with overturned
rowhoats, launches, canoes and
yachts.
Inc ponce lUliUeuldlClS Sldlleu the
work of rescue. AT nine o'clock to-
night eight bodies had been recover
cd and Lieutenant Reilly said he was
making a conservative estimate when
he put the bodies to be recovered at
80. Following the tragedy City Is
land became a scene of pandemoni
UNI. Many Of the men who had gone
out to fish had left their wives and
children there to picnic. AS soon as
knowledge of the drownings became
general and heads of families, sons
and i'll some instances, daughters,
failed to return, the survivors be
came hysteriCal.
All communication by telephone
with the Island was cut off by the
razing of wires and telephone poles,
and this hampered the police. They
improviscd a morgue in one of the
bathing pavilions and as rapidly as
the bodies were recovered they were
taken there for Identification.

for anbulances and physicians, but
the storm had taken the wires. Men
in commandeered automobiles were
sent to nearest hospitals two miles
away and soon corps of physicians,
surgeons and nurses We're at the
park. Four ambulances responded
and they worked in relays removing
the injured.
Many of the frail buildings Of the
cCncessionaires in the park We're
blown away or badly damaged and as
the bodies were taker from the
wreckage of the wheel they were
placed on the bathing pier. After an
hour more than 40 persons had been
extricated. Five We're dead and a
number of others were said to be dy-
ing
Members of the crew operating the
wheel declared the storm broke so
suddenly that it was Impossible to
remove the passengers. They said
about 60 persons were in the cars
when the storm struck.
Night fell as a half hundred men
were set to work tearing apart the
Wreckage, and the removal of the
victims progressed slowly. Hundreds
Of curious folk stayed to watch this
work and 200 policemen were sent to
the park to preserve order.
Under one huge piece of steel ly-
ing in depression in the ground lay
Il boy of ii and his 10-year-old sis
ter. AS the steel was removed they
stood up unhurt and ran to the arms
of their sobbing parents.
The boy said they were in a car
that had just left the ground when
something happened, he didn't know
what, that he was stunned for a
moment and the next thing he knew
was when his sister clutched him by
the arm and asked:
Are we in a tunnel, Bobbie?"
The dead were taken from the cars
that were thrown into the sound. The
Wheel- 100 feet in diameter, was con-
structed only recently, park officials
said, and was considered one Of the
best in tho country.
Paul Simon, owner and operator of
the Wheel was arrested upon the or
dar Of Assistant District Attorney
Quicicy ana held on a charge Of
homicide.
