There was a complete hold-up of boni services last wight. One vessel, the Prince Leopold, was stormp-bound all night, being unable to enter Dover Har bou. She had 125 passengers from Ostend on board..
One of the oats which were can- celled was the Isle of Thanet, from Boulogne to Folkestone, with 190 passengers, who had already been prevented from crossing by the Calais-Dover route.
Lightships were torn from their moorings, and lifeboats were order- ed out on the Belgian coast.
At North Deal, enormous waves swept over the pier, breaking as high as the housetops. Many thou- sands of tons of shingle were dis- lodged from the foreshore, and, with the gale growing worse last night, a serious inroad by the sea was feared.
