Extract of a letter from St. Mary's, Scilly, dated
October 24 :—" On Sunday last we experienced one
of the severest gales from the south-west that has
been known here for several years. It was imps-
bible to stand in any open part Of the island. About
five o'clock in the evening, which was the time of
high water, (spring tide) the scene was tremen-
dously interestlng. The sea, rushing, with a vio-
leuce that seeAd to threaten devastation to all be-
fore it, into St. Mary's Road and Pool, burst over
the quay with incredible force, and the spray flew
over the tops of the highest houses, into the street.
Quantities of sea-weed were even thrown on .the
roofs of some of those houses by the strength of the
surge. Most of the cellars, courtlages, &c. on the
south and west sides of Hugh-town were overflowed.
Providentially no great damage was sustained, as
there were but few vessels here. A large ship from
America, which had gone on shore before, and was
with difficultybrou;4ht into the Pool, and moored, on
Saturday last, again dragged her anchors a consi-
derable way, and got foul of some small craft, but
without doing them much injury. His Majesty's
brig SHAMROCK, lying at Old Grimsby Harbour
(Tresco), was in such imminent danger, that the
crew were obliged to cut away both her masts. The
Fanny, a fine boat of about 20 tons, employed in
the Preventive Service, was driven from her moor-
ings, and literally dashed in small pieces on the
rocks on the east side of the harbour of St. Mary's.
Some of the poor fellows belonging to her had a
very narrow escape of drowning in their endeavours'
tc. carry out a cable and anchor in a small punt.
which was swamped. Many of the houses shook
violently; and, had the storm raged from the south-
east, the whole town, which is situated on a low
sandy isthmus, would have been again inundated.
As it was, the sea was not more than a foot below
the level of the greater part of the buildings. The
general view—a town menaced with destruction by
a furious sea on either side—the waves flying up
over the loftiest cliffs, and sending showers of spray
over the adjacent lands—the neighbouring islands
gloomy in mists and' clouds—the struggles of the
anchored vessels—and the expressive countenances
of those islanders whose curiosity had drawn them
towards the principal scene of elemental violence—
was such as I never saw before, and (notwithstand-
ing any supposed partiality for ti.c sublime)
would certainly never wish to see again."
