Terrific Disturbance of Nature

ST. THOMAS, Aug. %, via Halifax,
Asg. 3I.-AnOther hurricane has swept
over this unfortunate island, overturniDg
every house and laying the place in ruins.
Yesterday at about o'clock in the morn
ing gale broke from the East, shortly
afterwards shifting to the northeast, from
which point it blew more fieIcely until
noon, when the wind Veered round slowly
to the north and fell upon the island in
a terrific hurricane. 1t then shifted to the
northeast and blew with great violence
until five in the evening when there came
lull which lasted until six P. NJ At this
hour the hurricane again swept over The
Island from the south, but lis duration
was not so long as on the previous visit,
nor was its violence so great. Its tenn
of the greatest fury lasted only two hours;
closely following in the wake of the hur-
ricane came an awful gale from the south
east, which ragged for several hours.
An Earthquake.
During the hurricane in the afternoon
several shocks of earthquake were felt,
rendering more dreadful the situation of
the people, who were hearing overhead
the crash of roofs torn by the hurricane,
and who were obliged to feel at the same
time under foot the foundation of their
shelters shaken by the earthquake.
$50 Persons Killed and MaHgIed.
Sundry dwellings have been swept
away and not house has been left stand
ing unchanged on this distressed island.
Some 5000 people have been left house
less and destitute, and nearly one hundred
and fifty persons been killed and mangled,
or disabled by houses blown down and
bricks and tiles flying thickly all around
during the hurricane. Already some so
corpses have been dragged from under
the ruins, which in the shape of trees,
fences, shattered houses, and heaps of
bricks and tiles are strewn throughout
the streets, aud offer sight OF perfect
desOlatiOn.
ships Dashed on the Reefs
No casualties to report about ship,
ping with the exception Of a British
bark, loaded with sugar, and riding st
anchor at the mouth of this haIb0r, which
broke loose and went adrift towards the
rocks in the channel, and is said to have
become total wreck. Two French
steamers, recently arrived here, drifhd
about and got fast aground, but the Eng
lish steamers of the Corsica line and the
Delta, as well as the American steamer
Florida, at anchor, weathered the storm
handsomely, the latter, however, having
had 10 cut down her mssts TO save ner.
Another Island Devastated.
The Island of St. Kits is said to be in |
ruins, as it was caught first by the hurri. |
