1t reduced the danger of being sur

We Travelled slowly and cautiously,
as our field of vision was limited and
blurred by the storm, and there was
danger of stumbling upon some Huron
or Ottawa camp. With our rifles and

day in covering few miles. The

the ocean should not be a source Of

 Flying Wreckage from the school roof broke thousands of dollars of plate glass windows: the wind picked up telephone poles bodily from the ground, tore fronts from buildings, sliced a front from a hotel; swept a private warehouse and a municipal warehouse into the bay where they were carried to sea on fast receding tide.
 A freak of the storm occurred when the wind dropped stump in front of speeder and it's seven oc- Icupants flung out; the car was de- molished but no injuries were suS- tained. A U. s. Deputy Marshal bringing supposedly insane man in speeder was also in the speeder at the same time.
