WILD WEATHER.
STORM AND FLOODS IN ENGLAND. CHILDREN ISOLATED IN PICTURE PALACE. (Received Tuesday, 5.5 p.m.). LONDON, March 1. England was swept by a sixty-mile an hour gale. Liners were unable to reach port. There were many casualties, particularly in the swollen river regions.- The Thames Valley was flooded and bungalow residents wore isolated. The February rainfall was double, the noraml. A strange incident occurred at Weymouth, where two hundred children were marooned in the Palace Cinema, which is near the beach. During a performance, a tidal wave flooded the low-lying parts of the town, and it was impossible for the children to leave the picture palace. Rescue parties, including anxious parents, waded waist-deep through tho flood to rescue the children. The latter were excited, but there was no panic.—(A. and N.Z.).
