The 150 members of the crew were huddled together hour after hour in the lower part of tho ship. We were getting ra- dio flashes giving only meager de- tails. but they were sufficient to let us know that our sister ships were faring as badly as we, or worse. Some headed for Norfolk and the formation was completely broken up. That night there waa an indication that the first respite was approaching. The seventh day the fury of the storm subsided. Our steering gear had been damaged and we were virtually helpless.
 We eventually got in communi- cation with the battleship Ver- mont. On the eighth day the seas had moderated considerably and the Vermont appeared on the hori- zon. When We took our position we found that we had been driven from our original course approxi- mately 1000 miles.
 The Vermont, after considerable difficulty, took us in tow and pro- ceeded to Norfolk. When We ar rived we found five or six other vessels already in the safe haven. When our officers and men met the other crews and officers, every one greeted each other affection ately, and I saw some of them ac- tually embra cing, kissing and danc- ing in circles.
 We were the last to arrive and many had despaired of us ever reaching port again. Our ship looked like the battered form of 8 lknocked-out pugilist. Some of the extent of the damage can be gain. ed by the fact that we were in port six months for repairs. The maneuvers had to be conducted without us.
 I had been through storms of short duration with similar in. tensity, but this by far was one of the most monotonous experienced in my career. In spite of the pounding of the seas not one of Us ever had any fears. and l do not think that we really appreciat- ed the real danger of the situation until we were once again safe in port and looked over the damage that had been done.

years, there is one storm which l encountered while aboard the de. stroyer Roe that stands wildly in my memory. That was the first real storm that l experienced. For tunately, I have never had to go through another one like it.
 When we met this storm the Roe, which was one of the first oil burning destroyers built for the Navy, was bound for Guantanamo for fleet maneuvers. As I recall. was Il years at sea when this ex- perience came along. Of course had been in other storms before. and I had also been seasick, but they were so small in comparison with this hurricane that the oth- CTS were erased from my mind.
 The Roe was in squadron of destroyers and we had planned an attack" on the fleet. The ship was in spick and span condition, all hands were looking forward for a pleasant time, when the blow hit us off Delaware. It might be in teresting to state right here that many people have an exaggerated idea of heavy seas.
 The fact of the matter is that a sea whipped by a hurricane with q wind velocity of 80 to 100 miles an hour never makes a comber larger than 20 to 30 feet at the most from the trough to the crest. The length of this wave between the crests is from 100 to 15O feet. The waves on the surface evaltr The waves on the surface travel approximately 25 to 30 miles with the direction of the wind. Storms that usually create the greatest disturbance are the West Indian
