For a period of twelve hours the j

fast against the wind. Huge waves
continually broke over the vessel
smashing in the railing of the
■hip, breaking stateroom doors,
breaking window lights in the pilot |
house, and tossing suit cases, grips .
a ad teamer trunks wildly about in
the various rooms. One woman was
throwa completely out of her bed
and al} bed clothing washed out of
the room and into the aea.
Storms are raging all along the
southwestern coast, doing damage
la everi towa. Ia Cordova wind
was the mala Qffeader, blowing
dowa telephone poles and smashing
windows. In Valdez the glacier
stream broke loose and did much
damage In washing buildings away.
Seward was visited by the worst
storm ia Its history doing more than
1100.000 damage, while from An
chorrfve aothing could be learned
owing 'o the telegraph lines being
down. The cable connecting Valdez
with Seward was put out of com
