HEAVY SEAS AND RAIN
STORMS IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND DAMAGE AT CHANNEL PORTS British Official Wireless Reed. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, Sunday. A great gale swept southern England last night, and heavy seas ran in the Channel. The Dungeness lifeboat rescued the crew of the motor-schooner Hanna, bound from Antwerp to Poole. The lifeboat, on returning, was safely beached after some hours of fruitless efforts to reach her station. Considerable damage was done by the storm at seaside resorts. The winds were accompanied by heavy rains in some parts of the country. Severe floods are in the Rhondda Valley of Wales, and a slip occurred near Port Talbot. A railway embankment gave way in Monmouthshire, and blocked the line, but an accident was averted by the warning given by two schoolboys.
