STORM on The SOUTHERN COAsT-Loss OF MAILs-TiRE
or BOARD THE SEMINOLE
The steamer Seminole Capt. Postel, arrived yesterday
from Florida reports that on Friday evening wneh ~
miles at sea- on her return trip from Florida to this port
She encountered violent gale which lasted several hours
When tie left the ST. Johns River the weather
was fair and with indications OF coming storm but IN
les than two hours after sharp wind sprung mp from The
southeast, which suddenly changed to the northeast
increasing in fury and lashing the sea almost
mountains high, thereby fully testing the qualities
Of the noble steamer whose character Tor seaw9rta-
ness has long since rendered her great avorte with the
travelling public. She however did not pass unscatned
through the Storm although she sustained no serious M
urv AT the moment the elements reached their utmost
fury tie Seminole shipped three seas in her bows and one
in her stern and Immediately after the steamer shipped
one or two seas amdships, which stove in bulwarks,
wheohousc &C., and inundated the aft cabin about two
feet After this, however the wind and seas lulled,
and the amer pursued her way without obstruction
We regret to add tina. during the storm the Paatka mal
aes were washed overheard and lost Immediately after
the arrival Of the steamer her wharf in this city yester-
day smoke discovered issuing from one OF her state
rooms causing momentary ALARM fearing the vessel to be
in flames On examination it found from some I'M
known cause a mattress fire. The discovery
proved timely and the prompt action of those present pre-
vented material damage. Savannah teor5lan, ON
