REPORT WORST STORM II
IN PAST THIRTY YEARS
Thrilling Details Given Today
of Rescue of British Ship
By Freighter Menominee
(By Uaited Prsos)

London, Dec. 27-- 28 lives were
lost and five ships destroyed in ter
rifle gales and huge waves in the At
lantic on the north coast of, England
according to reports here today. The
toll of the storm continues to grow
as additional details Of it's fury came
in from ports on the west English
coast and the disaster is extending
far into the ocean, battering and
buffeting even the strongest liners,
according to reports reaching here
from west bound vessels.
The liner Celtic, arrived from
America, passengers and officials re-
porting the worst storm in thirty
years on the Atlantic. y
Havoc was played by the wind and
waves with small coastal ships. One
battered steamer limped into port re-
porting her wireless picked up three
different distress signals, which they
were unable to aid because of the
ships condition and the S. O. S. final
ly died out.
New, York, Dec. 27-The storm
passing and endangering ships in the
mid-Atlantic is the worst for several
decades. according to. officials. of the
Brussels which arrived here today.
Practically all liners carrying tious-
ands of passengers are from u day to
three days late. So far, however, no
major ships have been reported lost.
1t is reported in London dispatches
that the disasters are believed to be
freighters.
Thrilling details of the rescue in
the storm Of the British schooner
Gordon G.. Fudge, by the trans-At-
lantic freighter, Menominee, were
told here today. After the schoon-
er's masts and sails had been ripped
away and the hold filled with water
the crew gave up all hope.
Driven from their course, the crew
manned the pumps in last effort
to keep afloat. The British flag was
blown away but an American flag
was found and inverted on the brok-
en- mast. 1t was this flag which at
tracted the attention of the men on
the Menominee, which was also out
of its course. Despite the danger,
the freighter swung about and with
great waves dashing over her sides,
her men succeeded in rescuing tho
crew. :. =

ers reported last night to John d. APP
pleby, divisional chief for New York and
New Jersey, that thirty-seven persons

Haynes, National Prohibition Commits
sioner. and e. c. YeT1owly. chief of gen.
eral agents. 1t was said the Prohibition
Department at Washington had received
more than 1000 complaint from persons
all over the United States about the
Volstead violations and outlawry at At
lantic City
The raiders took the city more or
less by surprise, though there have been
rumors for several days that the Fed
eral authorities were making a survey
or the town. In the wake of the agents.
as they worked in pairs searching the
places from cellar to garret, were two
motor trucks. Into this the confiscated
bottles, casks and other containers were
loaded
The agents were In charge OF General
Prohibition Agent Henson of the New

Agent COME of Newark. The raids
were ordered from Washington and were
