At Boston, most Incoming ships halted at quarantine rather than es- say docking. Several coastal vessels, bound from New York to Provi- dence, R. I, put in at New London rather than risk the fury of the seas. The battle for life of the eight coast guardsmen off Provincetown was fought in a 75 mile an hour gale. Blinker lights from their frail craft told their tale to persons ashore who were powerless to aid them. The storm destroyed the last hope for the rescue of Lieutenants Wil- lard J. Harris and Willlam A. Gray, army aviators who were lost Thurs- day in a fog off the New Jersey coast while en route from Mitchel Field, N. Y., to Langley Field, Va. Snowfall General Snowfall was general throughout the east. Eight inches to a foot was reported throughout the New Eng- land states, upper New York state and in sections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Lebanon mountain road from Pittsfield, Mass,, to Albany, N. Y., was closed by drifts. The greatest havoc in the metro- politan district was caused at Staten Island where the high tide carried the water three quarters of a mile inland and drove 1,500 from their homes.

From Asbury park to Cape May, high tides and great waves caused extensive damage to boats, board- walks, shops, cottages and other structures. At Atlantic City, a 100 foot scction of its famous boardwalk was lifted on the crest of an enor- mous wave and deposited on the top of a frame structure along the promenade. Many Boats Wrecked Many small craft and some larger ones were thrown on reefs, bars and beaches along the entire coast line by the force of the waves which at times reached a height of 50 feet.
