CATHEDRAL DAMAGED
FIERCE GALE BRINGS MASONRY DOWN LONDON, Friday. At the height of a fierce gale, the pinnacle was blow-n off the west front of York Minster, and 15cwt of masonry crashed to the ground. The gale reached a velocity of 91 miles an hour at Liverpool, SO at Glasgow, and 71 at Southport.
