families who inhabit thatdesolate island
were found by Capt Hay, Of the schoon.
or, to be in o state OF utter consterna.
tion, owing toIa terrible disaster which
had taken plhce on ithespreyious night.
The highest and principal lighthouse Of
'Anticosta had been dashed to pieces by
the terrific hurricane which raged on the
coast. Not even the wall near the base
of the pile was left. All was destroyed,
and noEliing was left of. the talland soli.

and six children. The once snug dwell,
ing was alllbut as complete q ruin as the
light-honse !, and Of. Edmund Barter and
his wife and six children, eight bruised
and almost recognizable corpses were
all that were left. The fcwlonusome in
habitants Of East Cape seemed, by their
tenderness toward aud sorrow for the
dead, to ahase entertained very genial
feelings for poor Barter and his family
while they lived. The bodies were con-
veyed to the house Of o resident who
generally performed such simple religi-
ors services as were practlced by the
solitary inhabitants. Several small boats
were driven tshorG at East Cape, md
the seople there described the hurricane
as mostterible and destructive. 81 /.

his downward course, aud finally came
the crash. Pieters was ruined; he strug.
