HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 13‘

~10?) — Strong gales lashed the island of Bermuda. again tonight after the hurricane winds which pound-ed it for more than five hours today had ‘slaokened off toward late afternoon.

The new night winds were veering southward and the At- lantic hurricane was moving slow- ly auey. ‘Ire return of the galcs was believed to be a parting blow, for after an hour's pounding they appeared to be lessening. The new gale brought down more overhead wires just. when power- authorities were about to turn on tl-c island's electricity.

‘Icclrys stun. caused no loss of life or extensive property dani- ege although vrinds hit upwards of 100 mdlrs an hour. Trees were dcvncd, some slates were ripped frrm rccftc-ps and several win- dcw panes were smashed. some insecure shutters were torn from store window's.

But the island appeared to hate weathered the high winds well. ‘

‘Ibo centre of the storm. pass- ing off the coast. had winds of 140 miles per hour.

Damage was possibly kept to minimum because of advance warning.

All United States Air Force. naval and civil airline planes except a weather squadron tell- lng the hurricane were evacuated r/esterday.
