Effects of the Late Storm.

The storm WHICH visited us last week,
was severely felt all along the Lake Shore.
We copy from the Sheboygan 4ayocate
the particulars of the loss of the brig Grey
hound at that place
At about s o'clock in the evening, a ves-
sci was seen attempting to enter the har-
Dor, but falling in the attempt, was driven
past kirkland's pier, and it was soon re,
ported that she had gone ashore about a
mile south of this city. a number of our
citizens Immediately started out to render
assistance to the unfortunate crew But it
was found that she had struck the beach
! opposite steep bank, from which it was
impossible to throw a line to her. Some
fires were built on the bank, and it was de-
termined to wait until daylight, when fur
Their steps could be taken to rescue the
crew. In the morning, a large number
of our citizens repaired TO the spot, and the
life-boat was brought in requisition, with
which, it was found nothing could be &C
complished, the breakers dashing it back
against the bank, as soon as lowered At
ter number of unsuccessful attempts to
reach the vessel, either with line or with
the boat, three of the crew jumped in
among the breakers, determined to reach
the shore. Alas. but two succeeded in
their hazardous attempt-the third was
thrown back against the vessel, and as the
next wave caught him, he was tossed out
into the lake beyond the reach of human
power to save him. This, no doubt, de-
tered the others yet on board, to the
amount ofseven, from making the same at
tempt, which seemed like almost certain
destruction to them. At last line floated
ashore from the vessel, by the aid of which
gallant old sailor on shore, succeeded in
getting on board, and by this means they
were saved.
The vessel is the Greyhound, Capt. John
Phillips; her cargo consists of 900 bush
els of wheat, which, with the vessel is a
total loss.
Another brig-the Resolute-was lost
at Milwaukee, on Tuesday morning. We
copy from the Sentinel:
All the vessels out on this lake cot into
port safely, with the exception of the brig
|
The former came to anchor in the Bay
during the night, and dragging her an
chors drifted on shore little north of the
Straight Cut. She was bound from Chi
cago to Buffalo with -four and corn. Her
entire cargo is lost, the flour, which was
on deck, having been washed overheard,
and the corn wet. Indeed it is doubtful
whether the vessel will be saved Her
hold was full of water, and the sea, which
continued heavy all day yesterday, was
making a clear sweep over her decks, and
shaking her violently. There were nine
men on board, and instantaneous prepare
ton was made on the shore to rescue them
from their unpleasant SITUATION. A boat
was obtained from the steamer City of
| CIereland, and manned and pushed out in
to the water four of the crew were taken
off, but in returning the small boat swamp
ed, and the men saved themselves only by
swimming aud wadine. After some delay,
one of the Francis Metallic Life Boats was
obtained, and the remaining five men tax
en- Oft. They were in sorry condition,
completely wet to the skin and chilled =
but restoration was offered promptly, and
in a short time they were doing we'll The
Resolute lies on her side, the waves break
ing completely over her. As we write,
however, the violence of the storm has
a5ated, and there is prospect of getting
her off without much damage. She is own
ed at Black River, Ohio, and commanded
by Capt. Frank Church
The Sentinel of Wednesday, brings the
following accountsof disasters on the Lakes:
In the gale on Monday night the schoon-
er 9. Vest went ashore three miles from
Racine with cargo of wheat and the loss
of one of her crew. She cleared Chicago
on Saturday, and her cargo was owned by
Messrs. Bronson & Co., of that city and
insured in the Buffalo Mutual. The yes
sci was insured in the North Western
The cargo of the schooner Resolute which
went ashore here, was shipped by Messrs.
a. E. Kent d Co., of Chicago, and the car
90 and vessel both fully insured in the Buff
falo Mutual and Etna. The schooner Is
land Queen is reported badly on the rocks
at Point Wabbeshanks, just above the
Straits, and nearly submerged. The
schooner left Chicago last week for Buffalo,
with cargo of wheat, shipped by Henry
Fish. The grain was insured in the Buffa-
10 Mutual The schooner is owned in
Massachusetts and it is not known if she
is insured.
Including the injury to the cargo Of the
st. Albans, which came into this port
leaking, on Tuesday morning, this makes
the fourth cargo of grain shipped from
Chicago, lost in the late gale.
The schooner Il. b. Cocker arrived at
Chicago yesterday, having suffered severely
losing overheard two hundred and seventy
barrels of salt. The Captain was severely
injured.
The Railroad tracks east of Chicago,
