Htft.!MANE IN THE WEST INDIES,/
BAIBAOOIII, Sm. 16.—We had on the 33 and
4th a moll dreadful gale, which dune on thine the.
following veffels, vie. the Sybille, —, from-Lon-
don for Demerara ; Betfey, French, from Dublin ;
and the Perfeverance, Hayes, from London, and
did much other damage ; hut was more fevere at
Dominica, where not a veffel rode it our, except one
fhip, end the In i 4 Courier, from London.
ST. KITTS, Ssrr. 7.—We are lorry it is our pain-
ful talk to lay before our readers an account of a
hurricane of confiderably much longer duration, and
nearly as fatal in its (fleas, as the ever memorable
One of tov.
On Monday afternoon lafl, the weather began to
airtime a very teMpertuntis afpedl, and through the
night the wind increafed, and blew with great vio
lence from the North and North Weft, accompanied
with inceffant flio stets of rain.
Tuefday morning held forth nn hopes of an inter-
million, as it had only changed As diredlion, and
blew with equal violence from the South Well, vary-
ing frequently to South.
In the early part of the day; a fAnorser, belonging
to Mr. Chaldwick, of St Bartholomew, was forced
on (hone, and between two and three o'clock, the
(hip Beckford, Captain Dixon, having on board 320
huglheads of fugar, and about 86 pipes of Madeira,
was driven from her anchor, and forced on Ihore
near Fort Smith, where the loon after went to pie-11
ces, hardly a vellige of her remaining ; providen-
tially Captain Dixon and his crew got fafe on (bore,
and fome part of the wine will be Paved.
A (loop belonging to Mr. Gie, loon followed, and
is fince entirely aeftroyed. The American (hips On-
tre-and Ceres, to avoid the impending danger, if
pnflible, put to lea about this time, but the former
could not effect her efeape, as The was forced on chore
at Salt Pond% sand has tince gone to pieces.
The approaching night prefeated a moR gloomy
appearance to tie other Mips in the roads, as every
mark of deftration teemed to await them, from the
increaling violence of the wind and fwell ; they were
ken, before the evening ciofed, to labour and pitch
very much. About midnight, our anxiety was kept
alive for the fate of the unfortunate on board them,
as it then blew a werfat hurticane ; almott every
fence being blown d •wn, fevers' (mall hinges car-
ried away by rapid torrents of water, occafioned by
the uoceafing deluge of rains ; and many other
houfes entirely (tripped. Wedoefday morning pre-
fented a fcene of horror to the imagination—not a
veffel in the road, and the beach entirely covered
with wreck! The William Pitt, Captain Abcreroni
bie (a (hip loading here for London), lay nn the (bore
above the Pored; the Aurora, Captain Thompfon,
(a fine new (hip, her firlt voyage, with a cargo
worth 40,0c01. herling) alfo on (bore lower down, and
the Young Nicholas (the !hip re-captured and fent
in here, on the 6th ult. by his blajeily's Ihip Hippo-
menes, Captain Afcough, with a valuable cargo of
mahogany and logwood on board), laying on the
Bar. Betides the above, we have to enumerate the
lofs of the fhip Nelfon, Capt. Sumner, at Deep Bay ;
(loop William Alhton, Capt. Hauit, of St. Croix At
Sandy Point ; and at Salt Ponds, betides the brig
above-mentioned, are the wrecks of two American
fchooners ; Mr. Dawes's (loop, Mr. Rogers's brig
learn, Mr. Coventry's fchooner, and other veffels,
whole names we have notbeen able to learn. Accounts
received from the different quarters of the Wand detail
the many ravages made by the flow of water from
the mountains, and the damages more or leis futtain-
eil in the mills and works of alma every dilate in
the ifland. We cannot pretend to calculate the lots
on this diftreffing occation, lint we fuppofe it will
tall little fhoi I f Ronr toc,oool. lierling. It is with
much plealure we Hare, that there have been but two
viCtims who have 101 l their lives on this occanon, the
one a white man, who had the command of the prize
fhip Young Nicholas ; the other a negro belonging to
Douce Theroulde, Efq. We almoß fear to hear the
accounts from the neighbouring iflands, as no doubt
they have fuffered in proportion.
A privateer belonging to Mr. Dougan, of Tortola,
foundered in the gale ; one negro only we can learn
was picked up. She was leen on Tuefday throwing
her guns overboard.
