ST. K 1 TT's, SEPT. 7.

We are sorry it is our painful task to lay before
our Readers an Account of a Hurricane of consider.
ably much longer duration, end neatly as fatal in
its effeels, QS the ever memorable one in 177 z.
Oa Monday afternoon the weather •began to
assume a very tempestuous aspect, and through the
night the wind ioereasta, and blew with great 'trio.
lence from the North and North West, accompanied
with incessant showers of rain. Tuesday moving
held out no hopes of an intermission, as it had only
changed it dirdtion, and blew with equal violence
from the S. W. varying frequently to the S. In
the early part of the day, a Schooner, belonging to
Mr. CuAnwtox, S of R I 1
Bartholomew's, was forced
on shore ; and between two and three o'clock the
Ship Redford, Capt. DIXON, having on board 320
hogsheads of sugar, and about 86 pipes of Madeira,
was driven from her anchor, and forced on shore
near Fort Smith, where she soon after went to pieces,
hardly a vestige of her remaining : providentially
Capt. IThcosr, and his Crew, got safe on shore, and
some part of the wine will be saved. A Sloop be.
longing to Mr. M‘Gte, soon followed, and is en.
tirely destroyed. The American Brigs, Centre and
Ceres, to avoid the impending danger, if possible,
put to sea about this time ; but the former could
not circa her escape, as she was forced on shore at
Stlr Ponds, and has since gone to pieces. The ap.
broaching night presented a most gloomy appear.
ante to the other Ships in the Roads, as every mirk
of desttudion seemed to await them, from the in.
creasing violence of the wind and swell : they were
sect) l:tore the evening closed to labour and pitch
I;riy nowh. About one o'clock that night our
aiodely was kept alive for the fate of the unfor.
(twat,. persons on board them, as it tl'cn hlese a per.

fen hurricane ; almost every fence being blown
down, several small houses carried away by the tor.
rent of water which washed down, occasioned by
the unceasing deluge of rains, and many other
houses entirely stripped.

Wednesday morning presented a scene of horror
to the imagination. Nut a Vessel in the Road, and
the Beach entirely covered with wreck. The Fril.
liana Pitt, Capt. ABERCROMBIE, a Ship loading
here for London, lay on shore above the Pond; the
Aurora, Capt. Tnoursorr, a fine new Ship, her
first voyage, with a cargo worth 40,0001. sterling,
also on shore ; lower down, the Young Nicholas, the
Ship recaptured, and sent in here on the 6th ult.
by His Majesty's Ship Hinornemer, Capt. AV..
COUCH, with a valuable cargo of mahogany and
logwood on board, laying on the Bar.
Besides the above, we have to enumerate the loss
of the Ship Nelson., Capt. LstoroN, at Deep Bay;
Sloop William Arbtox, Capt. HANIT, of St. Croix,
at Sandy point ; and at Salt Ponds, besides the Brig
above.mentioned, are the wrecks of two American
Schooners, Mr. DAV/ Ws Sloop, Mr. RODG ERS'sßrig
'arm, Mr. COVENTRY'S Schooner, and other sera.
sets whose names we have not been able to learn.
Acconts received from the different quarters of the
bland, derail the many ravages made by the torrent
of water from the mountains, and the damages:
more or less, sustained in the mills and works of
almost every State in the Island. We cannot pre..
tend to calculate the loss on this distressing cocci,
sion, but we suppose it will fall little short of Bo
or too,oool. It is with much pleasure we state,
there have been but two victims who have lost
their lives on this occasion. The one a white man
who had the command of the Prize Ship Young Ni
cholas : the `other a Negro, belonging to Door
Tup:RouLos., Esq. We almost fear to hear the
accounts from the neighbouring Wands, as no doubt
they have suffered in prop irtion. A Privateer he.

overboard. was picked
