SLAUGHTER BEACH


lists home with its chilly breezes un
, til Monday afternoon an unvarying
gale blew, bringing with it plenty
/ of rain and more tide. 1t is the
highest tide the residents have seen
for at least three years. The peak
was reached on Sunday when four
of the large fishing boats dragged
their anchors or broke loose from
them and came ashore, damaging
them more or less. Boats of the
smaller type were cared for before
the worst of the storm came, with
one exception. Earl Atkins speed
boat came ashore with such force
as to make it almost a total loss.
Cap. Plummer had some difficulty
when he attempted to take one of
his boats around to the canal. The
picturesqueness of the storm was
somewhat spoiled by the discOm-
forts experienced in doors. There
were few cottages on the beach that
did not leak. After the sun came
out finally and some of the things
had been aired and dried out the hu-
morous side of it all could be ap-
| preciated. Ask Mr.. and Mrs. Bay
ard Wharton about the wringer and
tub that was a part of their living
room equipment for two days and
nights. They were not the only
ones Even the Mayor failed to see
funny side of it all when the rain
apparently came right through the
window panes. 1t is all over and
the sun is shining again and none of
us much the worse for the expert
ence.
