Saved BY the Announcement Of Ap-
proaehing storms.
WASHINGTON. October 9-The property
that was saved from running into the dis
astrous cyclone of last month, by the
warnings Of the signal service was very
valuable. As soon as the storm was over,
Gen. Hazen telegraphed to all the obsery-
ers at the gulf and Atlantic ports to collect
statistics of the values of the vessels and
their cargoes that were detained from sail
ing by the cautiOnary signals warning them
OF dangerous weather. What losses result
ed from the storm are not yet known,
but captains who we're caught in it say
that it was the worst weather that had
ever experienced. Several vessels are
known to have been wrecked, and two
have been discovered off Port Eads-one a
large hull, copper -bottomed, floating bot
tom upward. 1t has been found impossi-
bic to secure full, or even adequate re-
turns, of the vessels detained. The obsery-
ers at New York, Baltimore and Phlladel-
phia make no returns, having been unable
to secure statistics. The reason given is
that at these ports the harbors are so long,
and there are so many safe anchorageS to-
ward the sea, that on the approach OF a
storm all vessels that are ready TO sail go to
these anchorages and wait for the clearing
wind off shore. Boston returns are also
inadequate, and it is probable that more
good YVES done coasters than oceaa-
going vessels, the masters of
the latter taking more risks, owing TO the
greater size of their ships. Statistics
enough have been obtained, to give some
idea Of the very large amount OF property
that was prevented from going to sea in the
Cyclone, or that ran into harbor after see-
ing the signals. The total amount of the
figures sent by the Observers is So, 400, $50
1t is estimated at the signal Office that at
least $13, 100000 Of property and many per-
sons remained safely in harbor on account
of the warnings given by the signal Office,
and that the saving in this one storm pays
the expenses of the service for at least ten
years.
