 DASHED ID DEATH
Fishermen Killed in Storm
 0f Coast

London, Nov. 1 Rl-Airplanes were engaged today in the sorrowful task Of searching along the west coast of Ireland for the bodies or fishermen who fell victims to the angry seas during last Fridays storm. Along the coasts of Galway and Mayo weird tales of the storm, which claimed from sixty to seventy lives, were told.
 Virtually every bread winner in I.ackan was drowned within a few hundred yards of his home, when the fishing fleet was dashed to pieces on the rocks. Too poor to buy more modern equipment most fish ermen along the coasts use craft made of tarred canvas, considered q poor refuge in a raging sea.
 Many of the impoverished fisher men sacrificed their lives in vain attempts to save their nets.
 Priests pronounced conditional ab- solution for those who will never re- turn to their mourning families. About 45 of these ill-fated fisher men were oyertaken by the sudden gale and dashed to death in sight of their homes as their wailing wives and children watched helplessly from the shore. The separate fleets of boats were thus overwhelmed.
 In London, Lloyds have posted nc fewer than IT ships as casualties and it was feared that the count of these shipping losses was still lncom- plste.
 Another place which the gale hi hard was Fleetwood. although the loss of life there was far less serious than in Ireland. This Lancashire town wa. cut off by the storm ant the floods which followed it. It without light. owning to the floodlns Of the electrical works Business + at a standstill.
