DISASTERS ON THE COAST.

The steamer Continental, which lett
Portland one week ago yesterday for
New Orleans, put in here this morning
for coal and in stress OF weather. She
started with the ship Frank Ball in tow,
loaded with commissary goods.
On arriving South Of Cape Henry she
encountered tremendous gales, and was
obliged to relieve herself of her tow.
Off Hatteras she fell in with large
quantities of drift wood, including new
chairs and other furniture, leading to the
belief that steamer had been wrecked
in the vicinity.
The dead body of man was also dis
covered, floating in the water, with a
life preserver attached. There was no
clue to the name of the vessel lost.
The Continental had some government
horses on board, and forty-two' OF them
had to be thrown overheard.
The Frank Ball is believed to be safe,
as she was able to take care of herself.
There were several other disasters to
vessels on the coast during the recent
gales, but we do not learn of any addi-
tional total wrecks.
The Continental will leave for New
Orleans in a day or two.
