IN FOUR HOURS
ELEVEN INCHES OF RAIN By Tel.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 20, 9.40 p.m.) BRISBANE, January 20. Floods have followed torrential rains in the coastal districts of Northern Queensland. At one place 11 inches fell in four hours. Trains are unable to complete their journeys owing to the lines being awash. The Brisbane-Townsville line at Howard was three feet under water, and Herbert River is nine feet above the banks and is still rising.
