TERRIFIC STORM 1 !;
LASHES CRAFT ON
ATLANTIC OCEAN

Boston, Oct. IL. - (AP) - The
storm that lashed the Atlantic sea-
board last night and yesterday. dis
abled or distressed four craft, it was
revealed in radio messages received
here today. Three were coastguard
patrol boats operating in New Eng
land waters. The fourth was the
Danish tanker Brosund, reported
early today in distress off Newport
News, Va.
The coastguard patrol boats 12S,
23S and 147, operating out of Nam
tucket, Boston and New London, re-
spectively, were caught in the 10
mile gale. Tonight, the crew of six
of the IT'S had been rescued by the
Cunarder Cameronia, but the 2SS
was still adrift without fuel off Cape
Cod and the 147 was reported to
have been picked up by the cutter
Mojave, which was towing her back
to her base.
Since early morning nothing has
been heard from the Brosund. At
that time the steamship America of
the American Hawaiian Line was
reported standing by. Later a frag-
ment of a message, which read: We
are towing her to n A M" was pick
ed up but the sender and the station
addressed were lost. N A M is the
radio call for Norfolk, Va.
The possibility that a fifth vessel
might be in distress was revealed
when another incomplete message
was intercepted, stating that
steamer was aground at Old Point
Prov. The sender, station address
ed and the remainder of the name
were not picked up.
Messages received here from the
Oh
standing by the CG-12S this after
noon and that early this afternoon
that boat was abandoned and the
crew of six taken aboard. The po-
sition was given as latitude 1872
north, and longitude zoos west
about 100 miles south of Nantucket,
The Cameronia then proceeded on
her way to Glasgow. Later it was
reported that one of the searching
coastguard cutters had picked up
the drifting boat. The C&-12S had
been two days out of the station at :
Nantucket on a four-day patrol trip.
The CG-23S with eight men aboard
exhausted her fuel after fighting the
storm that was sweeping her toward
the southeastward. She maintained
radio communication with the base
here, and rode out the storm while
the cutter Tampa and the coast
guard destroyer Cassin prepared
either to refuel her or take her in
tow. Tonight she was reported to
have drifted to point % miles
southeast of Cape Cod Light and an
early rescue was hoped for.
The coastguard Mojave, patrollinS
in southern New England waters, re-
ported that she had the lat in tow.
The CG-147 operated from New Lon
don, Conn, and carried a crew of ap-
proximately eight men.
The tanker Brosund, according 20
shipping records, was bound from
Galveston to Bremen, via Newport

Blizzard Creates
Havoc with Elm City
Electric Lights Sat.

A blizzard which would have done
full justice to January or February
struck Waterville early last Satur-
day morning and lasted until well
into the night. Through the first
hours of the storm snow fell heavily
and, had the ground been frozen.
there would have been blanket
between three and four inches COW
ering the ground But the snow as
soon as it fell was changed to slush,
which made miserable travel for pc
destsians and. extremely precarious
going for automobilists. Accom-
panying the snow and sleet was a
gale from the northwest which
found it's way through the stoutest
oflulsters.
Saturday was to have been a glo-
rious day for football fans in and
around Waterville. A number of
secondarY school games were sched-
uled and the Colby college team was
to have shown its wares for the first
time this year on Seavern's field in
a game with the New Hampshire
State University team. But coaches
realized that the weather would
spoil the sport for both players and
spectators and the games were post
poned. Some of the teams will meet
this week but the college game was
definitely cancelled.
With the coming of night people
in many parts of the city found
themselves in darkness. The wind
worked havoc with many of the
wires and falling limbs did their
share of the damage. Crews were
working through Saturday night
and yesterday and last evening most
of the trouble had been fixed No
injuries as result of the storm
were reported.

First Registration
Extension Courses

The first registration of students
in the Colby extension courses will

of the many inquiries about the diff
ferent courses that have been re-
ceived thus far.
The regular course of instruction
will begin one week from tonight
and will continue for twenty-five
Monday evenings durnig the year.
The year will last from October 10
until May 3. There will be a short
vacation in the middle of the win
ter. A study of the social and poll
teal problems of today will take
their time while cultural courses
will also benefit them.
Registration for all courses will
take place at $50 tonight in Chemi-
cal Hall. The charges of $25 for
two courses and SIS for one course
may be paid at that time. 1t will be
possible to register in only two
courses as there are but two periods
each evening, the first at 7.30 and
the second at $50. After the reg
istration for courses is completed, a
reception for the students will be
held. This will give every one an
excellent chance to meet the profess
sors and the other extension course
