wind which had not been very strong, be-
gan to increase in violence and at this hour,
IL o'clock, is blowing a furious gale. The
storm, will prove disastrous to shipping in
the vicinity Of the coast. To-day the sea
ran high, the platform leading FROM Inc
road TO the beach was washed away. and at
one time it looked as if considerable dam
age would he done. The sea also ran very
high at Block island and at Management
pier, preventing the leaving OF the steamers.
Atlantic City, N. j., special: The waters
surged and toamed and lashed the sea 'front.'
until the fears of the people were wrought
up TO a high pitch. The total loss will not
be less than $75, GOO. Long before high
water, which was at 6 O'Clock, the board
walk began to wash away, and by high tide
the higher beach along the center of the city
was a mass of debris. Bath houses, restaur-
ants, photograph galleries and stores with
dwellings attached, which were built so IA,
from the surf that it Was thought no sea
would reach them, wsre undermined and
carried bodily into the ocean and beaten by
the waves into fragments. All railroad
tracks between here and Absecom except
the Jersey, are submerged.

Sitting Bull as a Worker.

Captain Belk of the steamer Josephine
says that as q worker Sitting Bull is hard
to beat. On a trip recently to Standing
Rock, the captain was minus the neces-
sary number Of laborers and on his ar
rival at that point he applied to an N
terpreter to arrange with Sitting Bull
for the help in the work of unloading
over a hundred tons of freight. After a
short consultation, Mr.. Bull called his
warriors together and told them that
the Great Father had sent a boat load
of good things for them 10 eat, but he
had not sent the adequate number OF
white men to unload it. When the
smoke from their pipes of consideration
had vanished from intinitude fifteen
stAlwart red men signitied their wiling
ness to lay aside their blankets and
bare their shoulders to the labor of
removing the freight. The affable
Mr.. Bull acted as mate in charge of
his bronzed gang. After a few hours la
Dor, and just as the sun was sinking to
rest, the warriors quietly discontinued
work and took their seats upon the bank.
The captain was surprised and suppos-
ing that his newly enlisted men had or
| gained a genuine white mans strike.
he fastened to enquire into the cause Of
the trouble. His fears vanished when
be was asked if it was not time to eat.
and after supplying the aboriginal labor
ers with the substanliaIs, work was con-
tinued until the cargo was all on terra
tirma. Fifteen bright silver dollars were
then distributed among the braves, when
Sitting Bull came forward, and informed
the captain that his services might be
rewarded at the same price. A dollar
was slipped into the old chiefs hand for
which he was profuse with thanks. The
old man did not come to dakota solely
for his physical and spiritual health.
