FIERCE ATLANTIC GALE
WORST IN THREE YEARS WINDS FROM ALL POINTS British Official Wireless Reed. 10.4 S a.m. RUGBY, Thursday. The fiercest gale that has been experienced on the direct EuglandAmerica route for three years has been raging for over 24 hours over a vide 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 4.000 square miles. The Cunarder Carmania, from a position 1,100 miles west of Ireland, reported a westerly wind of storm force, which is comparable with the hurricanes which have recently caused much damage in America end the West Indies. These conditions are said to arise from a very deep depression which is moving slowly eastward, and meteorologists state that it may be the outcome of the recent tornadoes. Experts forecast that the maximum intensity will be reached before the depression reaches the European coasts.
