FIERCE GALES.
RAGING IN ATLANTIC
Comparable With Recent Hurricane In West Indies.
APPROACHING EUROPE.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received 11 a.m.) RUGBY, October 4. The fiercest gale that has been experienced on the direct England to America route for three years has been raging for over 24 hours, over a "wide area in mid-Atlantic. Wireless messages from ships, crossing the Atlantic, have shown that winds ( ,of worse than gale force have been blowing from all points of the compass over some 4000 square miles. The Cunarder, Carmania, from a position 1100 miles west of Ireland, reported a westerly wind of storm force which is comparable with the hurricanes which have recently caused so much damage in America and the' West Indies. Conditions are said to arise from a very deep depression, moving slowly eastward and meteorologists state that it may be the outcome of the recent tornadoes. They forecast that the maximum intensity will be reached before the depression reaches the European coasts.
