Championship gale floods Namall Island home near Coney Island
During a late storm a family of Caldwell, four or five children, lived in a shabby shanty near Namall and Coney Island. The house was overwhelmed by rising water and the roof swept away as the tide rose. The mother, two boys, a man, and a dog rode out the flood in a wagon secured by a tethered rope, while surrounding trees were swept away. They were saved when the wagon drifted to safety.
