Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-08-31

despite IleT Efforts, the Wab6r continued LC
gain; at p. IN. Saturday the lee yards were
under water, and for preservation the masts
were cut away. The small boats meanwhile
had been swept away. The cutting away OF
the mass righted her somewhat, but she
continued to fill with water. The men were
kept at the pumps, and between five and six
O'Clock there was slight lull IN the tempest
but it seemed to be only to gather force,
as a short time afterwards the gale re-
doubled in fury, and the bark, which had
been laboring hard, commenced to break
up. The Captain and his crew stood by
her faithfully and did everything possible
night the vessel sank beneath the raging
pillows, leaving the Captain and crew cling
ing TO the afterhouse, which was foated.
The men were without water or provisions
OF any kind, and on this frame were
buffeted about for three days. When
taken off by the pilot boat they were
pretty well exhausted, and very weak.
Previous to the abandonment Of the bark,
four Of the men were washed overheard
and drowned.

MARINE MOTIFS.
The Norwegian bark Condor, Capt. Nell
sen, arrived at COckspur Yesterday from
London, having left there on the 9th July.
She reports having had fine weather till she
arrived near Charleston, when the hurricane
commenced blowing. During the gale had
mainmast broken off close to the deck, ana
a portion of her rigging was carried away.
She reports having passed near ChaFleston
a b9rkentine that had lost her fore rigging,
steering for Bull river.
The bark Helen Sans, Captain Basford,
with a general cargo from Baltimore for
Charleston, s. c., reports that she arrived
at Charleston bar on Thursday last aud took
pilot from that city on board, and was
waiting for the tide TO go in, wien the gale
came up on Saturday. The vessel slipped
both anchors, md was driven in this direction,
arriving at Tybee on Sunday, when the
Captain ran her ashore on st. Michael's.
She lost light spars and sails, but sustained
no material damage. She is waiting here
for tug to take her to Charleston.
The steamship Santiago de Cuba, Capt.
Foote, arrived here yesterday from Boston
in fine condition, having sustained no dam
age whatever during her trip. She reports
having experienced heavy easterly gales all
the way with threatening weather, and
having passed, on Monday, the steamship
George Appold, bound to Baltimore.
REPORTS FROM BRUNSWICK AND ELSE
WHERE.
A friend who has Just returned from
Brunswick gives us the following informa.
tlon: The storm In Brunswick was not as
bad as was anticipated. The wires being
down, we were placed In such position
that it was impossible to hear anything,
hence considerable unessiness was caused
among our lumber merchants, as the lowest
estimate that could be placed upon the
lumber lying exposed right on the banks
of the river footed up at least forty to fifty
thousand dollars, and many are of the
opinion that the total was almost double
these figures. But the loss will be com
paratiyely nothing, as the storm seemed
to pass around Brunswick, only
giving that city slight touch of it.
The only damage / could see was the
sinking of the dredge boat employ
ed in that harbor, which now lies
with only her smokestaek showing at
low water. ALI along the line OF the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad from Jesup
shows very conclusivelY that the storm had
either taken another direction from Jesup
or had spent itself before reaching Bruins
wick.
The reports from Darien say some fine
buildings were unroofed, and the Presbyte-
rian church blown down.
The reports from Doboy are very con-
confiieting-some say damages, others say
none. All along the line Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western and Macon and Bruins
wick Railroads hear nothing but express
siOns OF sympathy, and especially do the
citizens Of Brunswick express their heartfelt
sympathy for Savannah and her people In
the loss they have sustained.
A correspondent at Dorchester under date
of the 30th writes: "0n Saturday night, be-
tween 9 and l O'Clock, the severest hurri-
cane ever experienced passed over, through
and around this county, devastating proper
ty, and, so far as heard from, killing six
persons-four children, one man and wo-
man-all colored, aud perhaps others. Cat
tie, sheep and stock Of all kinds were killed
and injured, houses, fences and trees Of
every description leveled and crops COM
pletely lost. Cotton and rice are stripped
clean. What little corn was left from the
drought is all on the ground. Ii the rain
holds up 1t can be gathered time enough to
save. Men who were on Saturday morning
buoyed with fattering hopes and expecta-
lions, are to-day sorrowful and dependent.

ground. If the damage over Georgia was
as great as in our locality, twenty million
of dollars will not repay the losses. Using
a vulgar phrase, 1t was Ill, death and de.
struction.' Nearly all the churches In the
county are down, the highways blocked COM
pletely and the people demoralized gener-
ally"
A correspondent at Fleming, under date
of the 90th, writes: 81 hear of no other
casualties along the coast near here other
than houses, fencing and trees blown down,
and many stock killed. Three or four per-
sons are reported drowned near Darien In
trying to cross over from Buffers island.
Our naval store men are trying to determine
upon some plan to utilize their fallen tim
Der, which will probably result in the cree
ton of saw mill here. The smaller tim
Der can be cut into corawood, larger sizes
sawed into slaves, etc., while the large
trees can be made into valuable lumber.
The general damage done the country can
not now be estimated with any accuracy,
but 1t is very heavy"
THE STORM AT BEAUFORT, s. O.
Through the medium of a private letter,
we learn that the storm In its passage played
sad havoc at the town of Beaufort, s. c.,
and the adjacent islands. The wind COM
menced stiff blow on Friday night, and
continued until it eliminated in terrific
cyclone on Saturday evening. Fences,
trees aud many buildings were Frustrated.
All Of the wharf property was wrecked, and
for a time the steamers Pilot Boy and
Howard Drake were In imminent peril, but
their commanders kept on full head of
steam and weathered the storm. The water
rose above what is known as the Sea Wall,
and spread through the streets and into the
cellars of many buildings. Conspicuous
among these was the grocery establishment
OF Mr.. George Warehouse, who had large
quantity Of fall supplies slowed In the cellar
OF his store, and bis loss was
Many other Bay store suffered in
like manner, and the lumber and wood yard
of Capt. n. Christensen was swept by the
tide, and the conteAts spread through the
adjoining streets. The sloop Bertha, Capt.
Brotherton, was run up high and dry into
pOsltlon from which no ordinary high tide
will float her off. Mr. WI Verdfer,s beam
tiful yacht Nellie, the winner OF one OF the
prizes In the late regatta, was torn from her
anchorage, carried t, some distance. and
turned bottom up. She Is much damaged.
Capt. T. w. Willett's boat house wasbiown
away, as were all similar buildings in the
town. Reports are but meagre from the is
lands, where great damage wasundOubtedIy
felt, but the farm Of Mr., q. s. johnson,
