Thames Still Rising

OLD WINDSOR MAY

BE INUNDATED

London, Feb. 8.

The Thames is still rising. Fears are entertained regarding the strength of the flood bank at Old Windsor, which was built by voluntary subscription a hundred years ago. Should the bank give way. the whole of the old town would be flooded.

At Windsor itself, where the riverside promenade is covered with nearly four feet of water and the river is a mile wide, the authorities are taking precautions, and walls of sandbugs have been erected at dan ger points. Elsewhere in the upper reaches, the increased flooding has mainly affected open country. British Wireless.
