FROM THE HALIFAX JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 20.
Friday evening last a most dreadful gale was ex-
perienced here from the S.E. It commenced a little
after five o'clock, and ceased- its violence about sesen,•
when the wind suddenly veered to tbe N.W..and Abe
sea gradually sunk into a calm.. Seldom has been
witnessed a more melancholy atvful sight than that
exhibited on that evening; the day had but just closed
when the gale commenced—the evening was ex-
tremely dark, theside was flowing, and the, rain at
intervals fell in heavy showers, Many vessels in:the
harbour_soon drove from their anchors ; others broke
from the wharfs, notwithstanding the care which had
been taken to secure them, and all seemed doomed to
destruction., Frequontly were fired guns of distress,'
and blue lights thrown out by such of his. Majesty's.
ships as were suffering in the gale: this circumstance,.
the darkness of the night, and the piercing cries of
persons fearful of drowning, which were often heard
in situations where alone the hand of the ALMIGHTY
could afford them relief, increased the gloomy hor-
rors-of the scene. It was not until the next morning
the effects of the gale were wholly to be seen. On
this side of the harbour some vessels lay sunk, others
appeared much injured.; and the opposite shore, from
the Eastern Battery to the mouth of the Narrows,
appeared.covered with wrecks. The following sketch
