first coasting of the year.
 New York, Nov. 18-(U.P.)-SnoW sleet and tumbling temperatures whipped down the Atlantic Coast to-day on gale that in A hours killed four persons, swept 13 men to sea in small boats and caused dam age from Canada 70 North Caro- lima probably exceeding $2,000, ,0o0. Government weather forecasters said the gale from the northern At lantic, which at times jumped to SC miles an hour, probably would abate and shift to the northwest to- day but temperatures would drop sharply.
 Snow drifted heavily over most of New England, New York, Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. Sleet covered highways. The highest tide in many years piled surf over shore roads and breakwaters. Two coastal ships widowed toward port under watch of coast guard cutters after s. o. s. calls. A washed out track on Long Island wrecked a train.
 Bore Brunt of Gale
 The northern coast of New ter. sey and the ocean side of Long 1s- land bore the brunt of the gale. A ceaseless rain and surf that pounded hundreds of feet beyond normal high tide flooded dozens of towns and damaged hundreds of seaside buildings.
 Coast guardsmen, flremen and po- lice rescued many shore residents from flooded home in small boats Communities of costly estates along the Long Island south shore were particularly hard hit. Sea water hll- ed the streets of 1slip, Amityville Babylon, Bayshorc and Linderhurst four and five blocks inland from the usual tide line.
 Deaths, including that of Kath- erlne McGlone, radio star known as Kay Wells, were caused by traffic accidents on sleet and snow glazed roads.
 Public utilities suffered heavy damage. Three trainmen were in- jured when the locomotive and three coaches of a Long Island Railroad passenger train left the rails near Jamesport, N. Y. None of 14 pass engers was hurt. Railroad service between Philadelphia and Ocean City, N. J., was suspended because of floods.
 Power lines and telephone lines fell throughout the northeast under weight of slcet and snow. Air traffic was halted. The wind unroofed the New Haven Railroad Station ct Me- ponset and destroyed Q wooden frame building at Lynn, Mass.
 Storm in New England
 Boston, Nov. 18-(U.P.) = Indian summer went on the warpath over the weekend as a savage 60-mile gale lashed New England with snow, sleet, hail and rain and caused dam age which may reach $l,000,000.
 Two sea fowl hunters, missing of Horse Neck Beach, were believed to nave perished when their l4-foot outboard motorboat foundered in stormy seas.
 While wind-borne sleet whipped the seaboard from Passport, Me, to the Connecticut shores, snow rang ing to depth of six inches fell in Western Massachusetts, creating highway hazards that brought out emergency crews of shovelers and scrapers.
 Brunt of the storm was felt on Cape Cod.
 The Chatham and Monomoy Point coast guard stations were isolated.
 Crews of the Nauset, Eastman, Wellfeet and Cahoon's Hollow sta- tions were nearly forced out by seas.
 An hour-long, off-season electrical storm punctuated the gale. Electric light and telephone services were crippled at some points.
 Scores of small craft were swept from barbors and inlets and swamp ed. Several private piers were ruin- edf The state highway at East Har- wich was inundated.
 Minots light, off Scituate, which celebrated It's 18th anniversary last week, was isolated from the main- land by mountainous seas that broke over the top of the 85-foot tower. Seldom since the great storm of Mo- vember 26, 1898, when the Steamer Portland foundered with loss of 157 lives, had seas touched the beacon at Minot's light.
