Two Men Missing.
This vicinity was visited on Thursday night
last with storm, the parallel of which is be-
yond the recollection Of the oracle in such
matters-the "oldest inhabitant," The princi-
pal damage done, however, was the breaking
up and destruction of five RATS, four of logs
and one Of lumber, owned by parties in and
around Saltwater, in this State.
We learn they had been towed through the
Lake on the morning of Thursday, and moor
ed at RaiscOtts about half mile above the
mouth of the Lake, on account of the severe
rain storm which was then falling, the wind
blowing from the Southwest, leaving them
protected by the bluffs.
About sundown, however, the wind chang
ed and blew perfect hurricane all night from
the Northeast leaving them exposed to the
full fury of the gale, and about four o'clock
in the morning, during the hardest of the
blow, all went to pieces, and more perfect
wreck cannot be imagined. Scarcely two logs
or boards remained together, and daylight
presented sight that panied every eye. The
bank of the river as far below as could be
seen, was lined with logs, lumber, lath and
shingles, and SO severe had been the storm
that nearly all the lumber was split or broken,
and much of it had the appearance of being
literally twisted in two.
We were panied to witness the avidity with
which persons living along the banks of the
| river seized upon and appropriated to them
selves the property which had lodged in
| secure places and could be reclaimed by the
owners. They reminded us of the wreckers
| of the sea coast, who feed and fatten on the
destruction of the lives and property of the
| poor mariner.
We understand the lumber belonged to
Messrs. Hersey & Staples of Saltwater, and
amounted to 200 feet, which will prove
almost total loss; value about $6,40O.-
The log RATS contained l 100000 feet, about
one-fourth of which will be lost. The logs
belonged to Messrs. Jos. Paron, Mckenzie l.
O'Donnell, j. & G. Gowan, Byrne & Gowan,
Jas. McRay, W. Casey, and others. The to-
| tai loss will not be less than $40, 900 ,and will
fall heavily on worthy men.
We are informed that two men, laborers on
the RATS, s,are missing and are supposed to have
been drowned Wa6ashaao Herald.
