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.

We culdn't do any thing with it until the wind died down as we were afraid of something falling on our heads. We miked and after breakfast crawled under the wreck again to the barn ans fed the calves wich were in there with Mexico and threw some hay our in the yard for the young stock.

I went down to Aunty's for dinner and Marj. and I cam eshome soon after dinner Quint and Win. wer down at Aunty's & Quint said the storm wrought great havoc down at the beach.

Ben Ivey's danc ehall is not hurt, it being too high above the water fior the ice & to harm it. When Marj. and I
