A great many trees were knocked down by the wind at the former Sullivan Jones place, Edgartown. The road leading into the estate, now owned by William B. Dinsmore, was completely blocked by fallen trees.

A building sixty feet long at the Otis L. Guernsey place, Kent Harbor, Edgartown, was thrown around by the hurricane, and the structure, part boathouse and part bathhouse, was greatly damaged. Plumbing was ripped out, but a big plate glass window, once giving a water view, now looks, undamaged, upon the main house, and dishes on a number of shelves were also unbroken.

The hangar at the Katama airfield was demolished, some of the big metal sheets being carried by the wind a quarter of a mile away to the pines. The big, heavy doors, were likewise tossed around as so many straws. A survivor of the fury, while the hangar was breaking up all around it, is the small office at the field, a structure about whose stability some concern was expressed when it was used as a guard house at the beginning of the war. Stephen C. Gentle, who has great plans for the field, is already planning for reconstruction of facilities.

The house at 21 Ocean avenue, Oak Bluffs, owned by the same family for more than fifty years, was badly damaged in the hurricane, Mrs. H. L. Perry of Attleboro reports. The family had to leave before they had planned, departing for home on the 17th.

Edgartown Great Pond, which was opened in several places by the storm, is now down a couple of feet from its previous level. The opening of the pond to the ocean is desirable, however, as a cleansing agent for the condition of heavy slime which had collected.

The Arthur B. Hillman camp at Wintucket Cove suffered little damage, although the screens of the porch were blown over and broken up, in the process turning over the gasoline-powered electric light outfit, which was anchored to a heavy cement block. Mr. Hillman plans to rebuild a smaller shed from the lumber. A number of trees around the place were casualties. Another camp, nearby, also owned by Mr. Hillman, escaped unscathed.

Thomas A. Dexter, former sheriff, whose home is at the foot of Morse street looking out over the old North Wharf, supplies the information that the historic whaling building destroyed by the hurricane was built by John O. Morse in 1835. Mr. Dexter has the original record. Incidentally, he says that when he is in bed or with his eyes closed, he can still see the old building, just as it was from time immemorial until the other day.

The list of hurricane losses is too long ever to be published completely, but incidents important enough for the record keep coming up. I. R. Edmands spend the afternoon before the hurricane hauling up the Edmands yacht, and it was well he did, for the boathouse was destroyed. Besides damage to the waterfront side of the property, five trees were uprooted or broken. Mr. Edmands has since righted one or two which can be saved. The Edmands place look the full fury of the storm, and wreckage of the North Wharf building landed on the lawn and in the water below the lawn.
