ANOTHER TERRIBLE GALE.
Fros The Mavaukee Sentinel, Dec. s.


storm from the northeast, acc mpsned with
driving snow, get in on Monday night, and by mid.
night The gale grew TO be quite severe aud increased
ali day Yesterday till toward evening It was scarcely
poesibe to keep ones feet in the streets and great
drifts Of snow were piled up against the buildings
wherever the eddies Of the storm carried the
which filed the air. II was almost as wild day as
we ever have seen in Milwaukee.
On the lake the gale was terrific, and we expect to
he ar of great destruction among the vessels still out
of which there are quite a number. We were mistaken
Yesterday in stating that the propeller Edith, which ar
rived on Monday morning, was the lsst one to come
the Nile is still out with very valuable cargo
$3.50 OOO for this port the Sun and Young Amer
lea for Chicago mostly and, we believe, the Mt. Yer
nc n for this port Beside these m,ny sail vessels
III own to he on the way up
!, On Monday evening about dark the propeller Og
densburgh, which hid only got half Days SToyasa
down, put back TO port, and got IN safely she Will
probably be laid up here,
The propeller Dunkirk, which left on Sunday for
Buffalo, returned safely to port yesterday morning at
about o'clock.
The schooner Storm King, which has been Ashore at
the Mant0us towed into port just IN time to escspe
The gale but chow got aoul OF the brig Algomah
inside of the old government piers, and both vessels
SUI in place dangerous to other vessels trying
TO get in than to Themselves.
Tie schooner Charlotte got safely in with but slight
damage.
The schooner Emma, having been got off from dan
eerous position the other eide OF the Lake, was
brought into this port safely.
The greatest interest felt yesterday in the fate of
the schooner Weland, which at daylight was seen to
be dismasted in The bay, and dragging in toward the
shore At II o'clock her anchors held her, rolling and
pitching about in the rising sea, opposite the end OF
the south pier, and some 600 feet east of the new
Straight Cut Dor pier. She bad up a jury mast,
with her ensign union down, and The men on bosrd,
exhausted with their nights work, anxious to be re-
eved. In spite Of the diving, binding storm which
rendered amost impossible TO stand in the neghbor
hood of the piers, there many vessel captains,
sailors and others hand watching anxously for an
opportunity 70 render assistance. The life boat was
Brought round and plenty Of men stood ready 10 man
it at the word. At about o'clock p. m the chains Of
the heaviest anchor parted and the other held just
long enough, il appeared to give fortunate direc
ton to the helpless hull, aud amid the breathess anx
ioty of the lockers or, she was driven by the waves
straight in between the habor piers and got safely
into fbe river and the men on board all saved Thus
has our new harbor already commenced its work of
saving life and property.
The gale rose higher last night, and we cannot but
expect 10 bear Of many disasters by it. TWAS Wild
time ashore but out waters like these fe'h.water
seas il mus, have bten terrible. 1t was thought that
more vessels were at anchor out in the bay, but the
storm was so thick that none could be fairly dlsn-
