From the New York World:
"The storm of the last two days along the
New England coast has, as the dispatches else
where show, been attended with no small deten-
ton and damage to vessels, and even with some
loss of life at the same time the dispatches
tell an eloquent tale Of the priceless value Of the
storms system. Says the operator at
vessels were in sight yesterday at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, which put to sea when the storm
signals were hoisted. There are no vessels in
sight now"
We have here an instance of the value Of the
signal service, as it is shown that timely warn
ing can save more property than the mainten-
ance Of the bureau corps Tor year, and in this
priceless loss entailed by the needless sacrifice
Of life.
