THE STORM on THE GRAND BANKS.
ST., JOINS, N. T., Aug. 81.
From the arrivals the past twenty-fouf
hours from Grand Banks intelligence Of an
alarming disaster to the fishing fleet has
been received. The most reliable and de
finite news comes from the Gloucester
schooner Wachusett. She was anchored
about twenty miles southeast Of the Vir
ginus. She narrowly escaped the fury of
the storm and made for land While com.
ing in she passed through vast amount Of
wreckage indicating destructive work OF
the gale. The storm arose from eastward,
shortly after sunrise Sunday last. A heavy
sea rapidly piled up and became confused
and choppy by the wind veering to the
northeast. For thirty miles Of the schoon'
er's course wreckage was encountered on
every side. Many dories were seen bottom
up and oars, fish boards and other material
in large quantities were passed from tins
to time. One French fishing brig alone LOST
four dOries with all hands. The vessels
decks were swept, cables parted ami an.
chors lost. A general estimate based upon
the best information at present obtaiHa'
BILE puts the loss Of life at from sixty 10
TO eighty souls, while the damage to the
fleet is incalci1able. AT the time tho gals
sprang up there were, it Is assumed, 2,0JQ
dories away at their travis, and 1t will be
fortunate II the extent OF the disaster ia
the great bank fleet is circumscribed with.
in this report.
