bath houses are all gone, and many beautiful
summer houses are either washed away or
blown to pieces by the gale. The bulk
heads are all destroyed. The beach for
miles is strewn with the debris from
these wrecks. The East End and Brighton
hotels, the Mansion House and sMarcy's cot
tage had portions of their roofs carried away
by the wind, and in the case of the Brighton
hotel, rain has damaged the furniture.
Nearly sixty bath houses were washed away
from front of the Ocean House. It has
been one of the most terrific storms ever
experienced here. The water was never
known to be SO high. It washed over the

SUNK IN THE SOUND.
New YoRK, Feb. during the storm yes
terday the schooner Ella Hayes, supposed to
be from Providence, with cargo of salt,
went ashore on Plum Island in the Sound
and sank, with all on board. Capt. Steven
son of the schooner Chester reports sighting
the Haynes signalling for assistance, but
finding it impossible to reach her, owing to
the heavy sea and dangerous locality, he bore
away. Suddenly a high sea swept over the
poop deck of the Haynes, which threw her
on her beam ends, and in a few minutes she
went to pieces and sunk out of sight.

A PASSENGERS STORY.
NoRFoLK, Feb. 1.-The steamer Cygnet
arrived from Couinjack this afternoon,
bringing Richard F. Brooke, one of the pas
sengers of the Metropolis. Brooke left the
wreck yesterday morning, and fully sustains
the facts heretofore given by Captain Han
ker and others. The vessel was beyond
doubt weak and unseaworthy, and being
deeply laden, labored in the heavy sea which
caused her to open her seams and leak.
Captain Hanker did all skill and judgment
could suggest or experience devise, but when
the fires were ont it left his vessel powerless.
He therefore was unable to drive her upon
the beach, as he anticipated, or keep the YES
sci from going broadside or exposing the
deck to be swept by each succeeding sea.
The steamer Cygnet returned at once to
bring to this city all the survivors, who will
be duly provided for by charitable people
among our citizens The survivors will be
sent North via Baltimore or Clyde's line, as
they may elect

creased by others not yet reported.
NoRFoLK, Va, Feb. Captain Ankers, of
the Metropolis, telegraphed to Mayor Tucker
of this city, that the survivors, in all $50,

This makes about 100 unaccounted for,
including the bodies which have been washed
ashore, and been inferred by neighbors.
NoRFoLK, Va, Feb. 1.-Citizens of Nor
folk held public meeting this afternoon to
take measures to provide for the survivors.
A suitable building has been procured, and
mattresses, blankets, &C., furnished by the
navy department.
