Many boat owners spent the entire night watching their craft, putting out new lines, and adjusting fenders—but there was many a splintered guard rail this morning and a few real holes. Boats at the uptown floats did not suffer, but craft moored at the lower City Float behind the rock dump, got the full benefit of the northeaster as it swept with half- gale force across the wide expanse of the harbor. The flying hotel that belongs to Tony Schwamm and was so badly damaged last night, crushed a skiff on the stern of Max Dorman’s gas- boat Pal and bent a stanchion. Lying near the Pal was Dr. Vance's Jennie K, which suffered a broken mast, boh gunwales crushed, guard rails splintered and several port- holes caved in. | The Alma had her rails bent and awning stanchions twisted. The! Neptune, with 23 feet of guard rail ripped off on both gunwales and considerable decking, presented a pitiful sight. The Betty Ross, belonging to Steve Ward, received a crushed and splintered rail and deck amidships and the Electron, G. E. Goudy, was caved in badly on the port side. The Edith, owned by Jack Mc- Daniels, broke loose from her moor-| ings and smashed a guard rail, while the Mary Ann, which belongs | to Roy Nolan, received a nasty punch in the port side that laid gaping hole open on the deck and below the rail amidships.
