LONDON, Feb. 21
The hurricane in Britain continues. At some places the wind speed was 80 miles an hour. Tremendous seas are running on parts of the coast. One hundred and twenty-nine Channel passengers •were unable to land at Folkestone. A thousand telephone lines were destroyed in London, and telegraphic communication between England and France is practically severed. A mail train from Belfast to Larne, going at a speed of 50 miles an hour, dashed into a landslide, and the rear carriages were thrown into the sea. There were 40 passengers, who escaped serious injury.
