Householders have been busy
clearing away the debris made by
the storm last week. Trees were
uprooted, chimneys blown down and
many gardens practically destroyed.
Corn, beans and tomatoes suffered
greatly and late peaches and apples
were blown from the trees. The
water rose in the Murderkill river
until the south causeway was under
water and southbound tourists were
compelled to detour to Harrington
to reach the state highway. The
water reahced the lower doors of
residents on South Market street
who moved their household effects
to the second floor. The children
padded around their homes in
boats apparently enjoying the flood.
Lower East David street was also
under water as far as the cannery.
Work could not be resumed there
for several days because of the
water in the boiler room. However
at this time the town looks normal
again.
frankie Mick, the 12-year-old son
of f. w. Mick, principal of the
Frederick school had narrowing
experience last week. He and
young friend padded along the
shore of Haven Lake opposite his
home at Chestnut Knoll.
The waters of the lake were great
ly swollen and the gates of the dam
had been opened. The rapid rush
ing stream drew the canoe into the
current. The boys were helpless
against the tremendous force and
their canoe struck the dam and
capsized. Franks companion man
aged to secure a hold and pulled
himself to safety. Frank was
drawn under the gate and through
the dam at a terrific rate. The falls
have a six foot drop to the spill
way. The boy took the drop and
by heroic effort swan through the
rapid current to safety. The fact
that he is a husky youngster, an
excellent swimmer and had perfect
self-control account for the TACT
that he is alive today and unhurt
except for slight bruises. The canoe
was demolished.
when William Leach returned
from Rehoboth last week he found
one of his chimneys scattered on
his lawn and a beautiful black wal
nut tree uprOoted.
