The terrible hurricane which swept over Ha-

tober last, will long be remembered with sadness
by many whose friends were Of the number that
persisted at these places in consequence of the
rssistess gale, which, contemning the fabrications
of masons and carpenters, swept substantial
lighthouses, as well as firm frame buildings,
from their foundations, and buried their inmates
amid their ruins, or swept all together into the
Gulf.
Among the vessels thar stood out that fearful
storm was the U. S. brig Perry. All that could
be done by her officers and crew was done, in a
manner suited to the emergency which existed.
The tremendous pressure of the wind upon the
brig left no other course for them to pursue but
that of putting her before the wind, where she
was kept during the prevalence of the gale.
