TER BEING BURIED ALIVE

Surrounded by one of the largest
throngs ever at Holloway Beach,
Lieutenant Mays, the man who was
hurled alive for eight days and seven
nights, was dug up Sunday after
noon. So great was the crowd that
extra precautions had to be taken
during the digging up and all were
greeted with the smiling counter
ance of "Joe" as he became known
to his daily visitors. Due to over
haste in the process the Lieutenant
tainted from dizziness shortly after
coming to the surface, but after an
alcohol rub and bath he began to Dc
his former self. He lost twelve
nounds during his stay beneath the
surface. In all the times he has
been below the surface on sin''ar
attempts, he has never found it SO
hot as on this occasion. He has
been buried when the diggers had to
overcome two feet Of frost To reach

more, before the car was finally
thrown from the rails.
The train crew and passengers es-
capped injury, except the conductor,
who was thrown against seat and
sustained severely bruised hip.
A large force of men worked day
and night, with pile driver and
other equipment, from Thursday un-
til Monday, before the gap was
bridged and train service resumed
Monday evening Piles fifty feet in
length were driven for the trestle
erected.
Telephone and electric Tires suf-
| fered heavy damage through wires
broken by falling limbs and trees,
and it has been a stupendous task
for large forces of repairmen to re-
store service to any where near nor
NAL.
The storm and high water caused
much damage to cottages and boats
along the water fronts at Perryville,
Havre de Grace, North East, Char
lestown, Elkton, Chesapeake City
and other places, and numerous
bridges over streams in the county
were either swept away or damaged
to such an extent as to render them
unsafe.
The paper mill at Providence, this
county, was flooded by high water
and machinery and stock damaged.
Operations were suspended until the
water subsidized and repairs made.
Corn fields throughout this sec
ton are tangled mass of stalks,
and our farmers have suffered
heavily. The sweet corn and to-
mato crops were hard hit.
With the canning season on and
tons of corn ready to pull and BUSH
els of ripening tomatoes ready to
pick, the loss is a severe one. Peach
and apple orchards also suffered
greatly.
Hundreds of automobiles, caught
in flood waters at stream crossings,
had to be abandoned and left where
they were until the water subsidized.
The storm was general through
out the eastern seaboard. The pre-
cipitation of rain was reported as
7.19 inches. The greater part of
this fell on Wednesday, when accord
ing to official records the precipita-
ton amounted to "A inches. On
Tuesday the rainfall was .65 inch,
and on Monday it totaled 2.14
| inches.
Since August /, more than IL
inches of rain has fallen. This is
| the heaviest since 1881. During
August of 1881 the rainfall was Z
IA inches.
Compared to what is referred TO
as the June flood" in 1884, when
this section was visited by cloud
burst, older residents who witness
sed both storms, state that of 1884
was the heaviest. as it rained then
but one afternoon and night, and
the Octoraro creek rose several feet
higher, all bridges being swept away

night, the storm wore along Monday
and Tuesday, reaching its climax
Wednesday afternoon, with heavy

The heavy down-pour OF rain
caused such a flood of water in all
streams that they left their banks
and inundated large areas.
Highways near streams were sub
merged in places to such depth as
to stop all traffic. At Porters Bridge
the Octoraro creek rose thirteen
feet above normal level, and it was
impossible to reach the bridge from
the eastern approach, from Wednes-
day afternoon until about noon on
Thursday. Traffic to Conowilgo had
to be routed by way of Port Deposit.
The water was four feet deep In
Dick Myrick's road stand, and while
much damage was done, neighbors
and friends gave hand and sue

ton of his goods to higher ground.

washed away or wrecked.
The first floor of the dwelling OF
Henry Atkinson was also flooded to
depth of two feet, and all house

At the lower end of Port Deposit
the street and railroad were under
six feet of water when the Susque-
