Marine Disasters.
HALIFAX, September "a letter from
Graysboro says the late gale inflicted its full
measure of damage in that town and
country. The loss to the inhabitants, mostly
traders, is about $40, O60. tits supposed
no less than hundred barnes have been
blown down, and the crops. which prom
ised a. bountiful harvest, are completely de-
stroyed. The fishermen around the coast
lost their nets, and are left without means
for fall fishing.
A similar story comes from Fourche.
Lumber, fishing, stages and fences were
piled up in an immense drift on the road at
distance of mile or so. From Fourehe
to Grand river three barns were left stand
ing the remainder are in ruins. To give
an idea of the fury of the hurricane, out of
two acres of hard wood land at Fourche,
there are only ten trees left standing.
The fishing schooner Thetis, of Lahave,
was wrecked on the north side of Prince
Edwards Island. All the crew, numbering
twelve men, were lost at Cowhead. When
the gale was at its frcest there were twenty
sails of French fishermen seen, and it is
supposed all vessels went down with all on
board. Not the slightest vestige of any
of them was to be seen when the sea mode
rated A brigantine with seventeen on
board was struck bya sea off the east point
of P. E. Island, and was overturned. When
she was righted her spars were gone clean
out of her hull. She was driven ON the
rocks. Every soul persisted. Her name
could not be ascertain. Gers 90
At Magdalene Island the tide rose eight
feet higher than ever known. The destruc-
ton of property on the land has been al
most as great, if not greater, than the loss
at sea. Another violent storm passed over
the city last night, but no damage is re-
ported.
JAMAICA, September. 2.AThe steamer
Virginius is still here, but is evidently pre-
pairing for another trip to Cuba. The At
las, from New York, has, it is said, brought
her new captain. The United States
steamer Canandaigua still lies here with
number of cases of fever on board. Mum
Der of cases diminishing daily. As soon as
recruited viii return to Panama.
HALIFAX, September 6.--The American
revenue cutter Woodbury., from Boston for
Cape Breton and the Magdalen Islands, ar
rived here this morning.
The coast wrecking steamer, Lackawana,
engaged for several months on the Atlantic
wreck, sailed for New York to-day, the
company having abandoned the wreck,
which will now be sold. ~
The steamer Kangaroo sailed for London
last evening. 4at
A letter received here to-day from the
Magdalne Islands, gives the following par
ticulars regarding the late storm there:
The tide rose to an extraordinary height,
causing a very heavy sea in the bay. At
daylight on the morning Of the twenty-ffth,
the scene that presented itself at Amhurst
harbor is above description Nine Ameri-
can schooners were already ashore and
wrecked between Amherst and Baque har-
bors; and during the day vessel after vessel
continued to break adrift from its moorings.
Those which were far enough to windward
ran for the harbor, and anchored with the
ground tackle, which they had on board,
while others which had no such tackle were
obliged to run on the beach, to save the
lives of their crews. Many did not strike
the channel and were wrecked. At noon
the barometer fell to its lowest point
(2S:90), the sea and beach being covered
with wrecks. ~ f..
Hundreds of ship-wrecked marines were
wandering, destitute, aboutth beach, with
out food or shelter from the storm. The
villagers did all in their power to relieve
1 the buucIcIS.
About 4 P N. the bark Swift, of JERSEY,
which had been riding with four anchors
and cables ahead, was driven from them all.
She had 100 souls on board She endeav-
ored to reach the harbor, but when nearing
the breakers, she become unmanagable and
was driven on the beach at the entrance,
and became a wreck. t.t -
When night closed in, forty-three vessels
were on shore, wrecked. The loss Of life
has been small; only three bodies are
missing, which are from the schooner Z.
Smith, Of Welfeet, Massachusetts,. One
body has been recovered.
