Property Damage Fins Into
Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars on Coast.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON. January 28-New England's
rugged coastline today took another ter
rife beating from roaring surf that
caused damage estimated at hundreds
of thousands of dollars and made scores
of persons temporarily homeless.
Whipped to frenzy by two days of
continuous northeast winds of gale
force. the sea rushed in over seawalls
and other protective barriers at high
tide about noon and then receded leav-
ing damage and disorder in its wake
Summer cottages toppled into the
sea and many buildings and piers that
had withstood the battering waves for
years fell before the terrific onslaught.
Coastal lowlands were inundated for
miles as the tide rose feet above nor
NAL at Boston, to l4.11 feet.
Shipping Tied Up.
Shipping was tied up as their crews
awaited predicted drop in wind
velocity and calmer seas during the
night. Thirty-five miles to sea from its
usual base, the Nantucket lightShip
fought feebly against the elements to
return to its post from which it was
driven yesterday Other craft on the
fishing banks and approaching the coast
likewise fought the winds and waves.
Some Coast Guard vessels were thwarted
in their attempts to put out for patrol
duty.
Railroads, and in some places, trolley
lines wefe inundated by the maddened
water Long stretches of railroad tracks
close by the sea were buried under tons
of boulders and sand.
The Red Cross moved into Revere,
on the Massachusetts, north shore, and
set up headquarters to supplement the
efforts of police and f1remen, who, for
the past "a hours, have given assistance
to storm-harassed residents.
Many roads in the path of the in
rushing water were closed to travel by
order of the State and local authori-
ties when the tide receded. leaving
them either broken or strewn with
debris. Some we're impossible.
Water Surrounds Hull.
Cottages tumbled into the sea after
being undermined at Kennebunkport,

we're and other places along the Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire Coast.
The town of Hull, on the tip of the
arm of land that partly incloses Hing
ham Bay, became an island for two
hours at high tide as the waters from
Stony Beach poured across the narrow
strip of land into the bay.
The United States Weather Bureau
reported that the wind forces would
abate during the next IL hours and
in addition would shift from the
north to the northwest, factor that
would greatly reduce the landward
