I New Tork. Jan. I. With a7 mile gale from the Northeast drl Ing huge seaa against bulkheads al ready weakened or broken through by the great storm of Christmas night, the New Jersey coast points to day and tonight underwent perhaps their worst experience in many years. A high surf ran along the entire coast and some feared that with the com ing of high tide towards morning the seas would wash over much or trie railway which did not suffer in the previous storm. 80 far no loss of life has been re ported. The damage to property al ready mounts well Into the hundreds of thousands. Most of this has been done to dwellings and other struc tures. Sea Bright, as In the storm of twq weeks ago, bore the brunt of the storm as the result of Its exposed po st lion on a narrow sand spit between he-ocean ad the Shrewsbury, river. Today... bttt many, bulkheads that had withstood the storm gave way, addi tional sections were flooded and more summer dwellings were; wrecked or badly undermined." The bulkheads were bally damaged and" the lawns washed 'out. Fishermen worked hard , to-- save- - the -cbirch, Along4 the' bulkhead the wsvs"BaV with tremendous force as" they rose ttf-r-Kr"siBM3Clet"tlicr; broke. When darkness came little progress had been made by workers along shore to slop the seas ravages with the temporary bulkheadmg. Bulkheads, at Nermahdle gave "way and alL train service on the Highland division of the Central Railroad of New Jersey was discontinued. Many telephone wires are down. At Asbury Park no great damage had been done ud to a late hour. On Long miana, as well as on the- Jersey Coast the situation in many places was regarded u critical. Many of the temporary bulkheads erected after the storm of Christmas night have been swept out to sea, with the result that much Drouertv is at the mercy of the high waves. As far as Rockaway Beach many small houses have been wash ed out to ea andfor a time several of the large summer hotels were In danger. Hasty reinforcements of their foundations averted great loss. many boats lost. Edremere's entire water front Is In peril, huge seas washing over the 1 1-foot bulkheads which protect the place. In what Is known as the Hem nulls section every breakwater is down as any many buildings are In danger of collapsing. Iater tonight the meadows north of Long Beach were under water.
