Erskine, Jr. If you think it has been raining in Tryon just read the following extracts from an interesting let ter Ralph C. Erskine. Jr. wrote home from Hartford, Conn, where he is with the Hartford Electric Company: “Thursday the water from the park river came across its banks and started to flood the streets in the section around our building. A motorboat which had been built in the cellar of the Ramp Garage floated up out of the gangway and was moored to a fire hydrant in the center of the business district. Two fire trucks were used togeth er with about 4 portable pumps in a losing fight to keep the water |from flooding our Pearl St. sub rstation which feeds the midtown.. ... The river rose to 38 feet, 6 feet higher than the 1927 flood. From the top of a department store I could see water stretching for miles across the Connecticut River valley, farms, woods, and towns apparently floating. Huge Shell gasoline tanks rose from their bases and floated majestically down the turbulent river along with sheds, barns, roofs and other wreckage sweeping steel high ten sion towers down like trees in a gale—South Meadow station shut down when the water could no longer be kept out, leaving the stricken city to grope in darkness -Continued on Buck Pap*_ Holy Week Services By Rev.
