two or three times and heard the shutter banging and the wind howling furiously. Marj. Aunty & Aunty Alice didn't sleep much but it didn't keep me awake long at a time. I got up before six and came right home. The storm was raging wildly I thought the wind would blow me off the sidewalk and when I got up on the hill, it was stronger still and the snow drifting in clouds. It was not bitterly cold as the wind was from the south west. Dad. was up when I got home but not expecting me. I went out before daylight and discovered the door had blown off the hen house and it was full of snow. I went over to the old barn to get some chicken feed and saw that the end of the shed at the big barn was out of place and on further investigation I found that the whole roof except a piece at the west end was blown off the shed and a piece of the barn roof off too.

Their bathing houses are in ruins part of the building smashed to atoms with the ice which is piled several feet high on the beach, and part of it has been carried half way to the park fence by the water which was very high. He says the ice smashed one of the ice cream parlors down at the beach all to pieces and it is strewn along the beach all the way to the dock. Ben Ivey's dance hall is not hurt, it being too high above the water for the ice to harm it. When Marj. and I
