SECOND STORM BREAKS


SECOND STORM BREAKS
YEARLY the rescuers had toiled
during the night searching for
bodies, their hopes thinning that
any Of the missing would be
found alive, when the second
storm broke.
Structures that had been left
standing after Wednesdays hurri'
cane began tottering and the sea
began lashing the dunes, driving
back those who had gathered on
the narrow strand hoping that
the ocean would give up its dead.
Desolation and despair gripped
the fashionable WeSthampton
summer colony that now is moth
ing but q ruin Of broken houses
and torn roads.
The missing list began to dwin-
die as the names of survivors were
obtained. Some were found in
the shelter of homes miles inland
where they had fled after the
series of 40-foot waves rolled over
the island.
From the terror that gripped
ives h a mpt on as the storm
smashed homes and carrie d
screaming victims to their deaths
came accounts of glowing hero
ism where those of high and
humble caste worked desperately,
side by side.
SMART CLUB A MORGUE
The exclusive Westhampton
Beach Club, the scene of social
events in the summer season, was
a temporary morgue. There were
taken the bodies that the sea cast
up; and at the doors groups Of
survivors set UP vigil. Some be-
came hysterical as they identified
bodies of their relatives and
friends. Some walked away to
Join other searchers along the
dunes waiting for the sea to give
up more Of its victims.
The village hall was trans
formed into relief bureau where
society women as well as the year
round townSpeople worked for
hours without rest, giving food and
clothing to refugees.
MAROONED IN EXCHANGE
High among the stories Of hero
ism was placed the courage Of two
telephone operators. Rose Ryder.
IS, and Mrs. Ethel Catterall, who
actually eluded rescuerS and re-
turned to their posts to work for
40 hours, permitting themselves
only one hour of rest.
The telephone building was iSo-
lated by water when the hurricane
roared over the town. Fire Chief
A. F. JeSSup and First Assistant
Chief Joseph RoSSer, knew the
women we're marooned and got to
the building in row boat.
Miss Ryder and Mrs. Catterall.
with the other two operators. were
persuaded to accompany the res
cuers and were taken safely to
higher grounc. An hour later
the two operators slipped away
and rowed back to the building
resumtng their duties.
Miss Ryder was under the ad-
ditiona) strain Of knowing that
some of her relatives were missing.
Neither woman would comment
today. The story of their herOiSn
came from Chief JeSSup.
The policing arrangements were
divided among State police. local
police and volunteer groups, in
cluding Red Cross workers and
members of the American Legion.
In addition 500 Coast Guardsmen
were On duty in and near the
town, searching for bodies by boat
and Seaplanes
Part of their efforts were di.
rected against the looting Of
wrecked homes Reports Of minor
looting were received.
At Montauk, on the extreme
end of the island, 152 inhabitants
of a fishing village whose homes
were destroyed or damaged be
yond repair were being cared for
in a summer hotel in MontauS
Manor. The hote: gas closed for
the season last week.

ing school librarians in the same
