Country "Digs Out"
New York, Nov. 25.
At least 42 deaths have been reported thus far today as the eastern part of the country dug itself out of one of the worst snow-storms in recent history. The storm extended from Georgia, where snow flurries and freezing temperatures sent Southerners shivering into their homes, to New England where more than a foot of snow fell.
Throughout the mid-West low temperature and some sleet made highways icy avenues of danger. Scores of minor highway accidents were reported.
Fourteen deaths due to the storm have been reported from New England, eight from Pennsylvania, fifteen from New York state, two from Indiana, and one each. from Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas.
Skies finally cleared this afternoon over most of the storm area, but high winds continued, menacing shipping at many points.
The giant German luxury liner, the s. Bremen, arrived in New York five hours late. She was delayed through battling gales and adverse winds most of the way across the Atlantic. High winds in New York harbour delayed her docking an additional hour.
An unidentified freighter was also reported aground on Greens Reef off Norwalk, Connecticut—United Press.
