and. as it was, the cars were rocking from one track to another, not just shivering- or shaking, but literally rocking. The Yankee Clipper pulled up behind us and we spent the night there. We were comfortable and had plenty to eat, but the trains ran out of water and finally they were passing coal from the engine back to the dining car, in order to get a fire and cook food.

Food was rationed out as you put in your order. Martial law existed, of course, and bars were closed. This morning came over the road to Boston. You don't know how queer it seems to be in a normal city, with lights, heat and telephones running. It seemed a month since we last enjoyed these luxuries.

remaps the test thumbnail description of New London I can give you occurred in a Western Union ofTce within two minutes, I was standing at the desk when a young schoolgirl, came in there yesterday afternoon. She was looking for her younger sister, who has not been heard from since school let out at almost the moment the tidal wave hit Wednesday afternoon. The clerk said they had report on her and a moment later a businessman came in. "Can I get a wire through to New York?" he asked. "No." "Well.

I don't suppose its essential," he said. "I'd like to let my company in New York know that they haven't got any. New London factory any more. It's not a problem of damage, but one of complete abolition." Official Asks Sightseers Not to Clutter Highways Patrick J. Moynihan, chairman of the State Emergency Commission, appealed to all motorists to stay off the state highways this week-end as far as possible.

The arteries leading into the flood areas were cluttered with sightseers last night and this morning, he stated, and relief workers "were hindered considerably in their efforts to get through to the stricken 3X63S. Chairman Moynihan also stated that shop owners and employers in the stricken areas need have no fear of prosecution by working this Sunday if the work relates in any way to relief or rehabilitation. Medical Examiner Walter F. Ma-honey said death was caused by a fractured skull. There was a large "Go Slow" sign in the center of the road where the water was running over the street.

ITALIAN LINE Hunt for Children The next morning we were taken into New London in buses. The first thing we were given was a card' from the National Guardsmen warning us not to drink water or milk without boiling it. The first store I saw was a five-and-ten-cent one.

It had been flooded out, but one counter had been set up on the sidewalk and they were selling candles only. We went to the railroad station and found that good sized steamer resting We walked down to the business district and found the firemen still pouring water into the smoldering embers. The fire had raged all night, they said, and it seemed to have leveled about 10 blocks. It followed in the wake of the tidal wave. Almost everyone in the city seemed to have experienced disaster.

Parents were crowding the newspaper office and police station in search of school children they had been missing for 16 hours by then and little hope' was held for them. Officials told us school had let out just before the flood. One man had managed to get 40 girls out of his factory', after the wind had lifted the roof of it and a moment before the flood and the fire hit it. Another had several missing from his factory still, and the factory was gone. Some, said it was worse at Westerly and others said Block Island was reported the hardest hit.

All over New London we saw trees uprooted, and many of them had crashed through houses and automobiles. All the water front was demolished by the flood tide, and boats, large and small, were scattered along the streets. Providence Weird The editor of the New London Day told me six miles of water front property was completely wrecked. He said 100 Summer cottages were swept to sea in five minutes at Ocean Beach. He estimated the damage to New London alone at $4,000,000.

You had to climb to your room as well, since the elevators were out of order. All the stores about 11 o'clock we got into Providence. Providence was one of the weirdest sights I have ever seen.

It was like a city at wartime. The entire business district which was under water on Wednesday, I am told was roped off and patrolled by armed soldiers. Huge antiaircraft lights pierced the night, shooting long, slender pencils of bluish light into the darkness.
