es dotted the sound just off City ISL
and just before the breaking OF the
storm; when it had passed, the water
was strewn with overturned craft and
the buildings on shore resembled q
battle-torn village in No-mans land.
People Struggle in Water.
Many parties hurrying for safety
saw people struggling in the water
but dared not stop for fear of capsiz-
ing their own craft. The rescue work
started Immediately, but darkness and
the panic stricken crowds hindered
the labors of the volunteer life savers.
Property damage estimated at from
81, 100000 to several times that amount
was done by the tornado.
The storm followed day Of intense
heat and was as sudden as it was vio-
lent. Low hanging clouds across the
Hudson river were observed, but they
seemed to be far away and danger
was unforeseen. Then like magic the
sky darkened, the clouds seemed to
dip toward the earth and before the
frightened people could reach places
of safety the wind came.
Direct Path Of Hurricane.
Clason's Point, a pleasure ground
near City Island, was in the direct
path of the hurricane. A ferris wheel
heavily freighted with children and
young people had just begun to re.
volve with its passengers when the
SO miles an hour wind struck it. So
sudden was the transition from a
bright June sky into inky clouds that
the men in charge of the wheel could
not stop it and discharge the people
in the cars before the top Of the wheel
! was torn away and the remainder
crashed to the ground, tangled mass
of steel.
| Dozens Buried.
Dozens were buried in the wreck.
Six bodies were taken out and more
than two score were attended by am
bulance surgeons, and the seventh VIC
tim died today.
Frail buildings were crushed by the
mighty weight of the wind; electric
light wires were torn away and in the
darkness and torrential rains the res
cuers could do little until the storm
had subsidized. Hysterical men and wo.
men. tearing blindly at the wreckage,
hindered rather than helped the work

NEW. CABINET FUNCTIONS.
Peking, June 12.-By the A. P.)-
China, after ten days, virtually with
out an executive head functioning in
PekinG again has a president and
nucleus Of cabinet Moreover, if in
dications are borne out the two will
have a fair share of support from the
South China section whose opposi.
tion to the old government has done
much, If not most, to keep alive civil
war for the past five years.
Ii Yuan Hung, who was president
until the monarchial coup Of 1918
forced him from office, again is in
power. He came to Peking yesterday
and resumed Office, and his first Of
fetal act was to nominate DR.. WI Ting
Fang, former minister at Washington
to be his premier.
DR.. WI has been power in the
Canton government and his adhesion
to the new executive is likely to do
much toward solidifying the country.
LII comes at the behest of many
members of the old parliament, which
he dissolved in 1917 and at the urgent
appeal of WI Pei Flu, dominant mill,
tary leader of China.
