THE KARA ASHORE AT BRIDLINGTON The week-end weather was a positive riot of wind and water, sleet and snow, fog and frost, with pleasing interludes of spring sunshine in some places. In the northern half of the Kingdom there were heavy falls of snow, blocking the traffic by rail and road and stopping sixteen of Saturday s Cup-ties, while London hod an inch of rain in twenty-four hours, followed on Monday by a dense fog. Many shipping disasters occurred on our coasts, the gale reaching its height at Queenstown, where the wind registered ninety miles an hour. Terrible weather has prevailed in the Atlantic for some time, and H. M. S. Natal nearly foundered while conveying Mr. Whitelaw Reid’s remains to NewYork. Two of her guns broke loose, her search-lights were smashed, tore and main top masts carried away, and two how plates stove in.
