A Furious Gale-The Lake Shore Strewn With Wrecks-Hard Times For ths Mariners-A Number of Vessels Lost. l BUFFALO, Nov. 16.-The furious gale which has been raging here to-day has laid many wrecks on the shores of the lakes. l The schooner Maple Leaf had a cargo of I sixty thousand feet of lumber and miscella- neous freight including one hundred and ff- ty barrels of eggs. She is on Stony Point high and dry, and is bad wreck. Her crew of five were lashed in the rigging sll night 1 and were badly exhausted this morning. Captain Haskins states that he had terrible night. When the wind subsided this morn ing the receding water left the boat in the sand in such position that the crew walked ashore. Part of the decklosd of lumber is lost, the cargo in the hold is safe. The boat was insured for g., 900. There was no in
 surance on the cargo.
 The barge Fassett, owned by N. Holland, with cargo Of lumber for Tonawanda, broke from her tow of Long Point in the gale and drifted down to Mohawk Island where her last remaining anchor was the only hope. A
 flag of distress was flung out and several
 Canadian tugs went to the rescue and lowed her to Port Colborne minus part of her deck
 
 incoming vessels report acres of floating lun-
 Der. The loss has been very large. A visit
 to the wreck of the Avon this afternoon dis
 closed the fact that the steamer is lying
 in about three feet of water.
 The wind was fresh and the swells
 which rolled into the beach fell sew
 eraI feet shert of the sea wall and were
 gradually receding. Last night the breakers
 dashed over the sea wall and threatened the
 cottages of the squRtters on the inner side.
 The Avon when the sea recedes may not be
 over two feet in water. Her wheel shows
 where the propelIsr's blades had been broken
 and the rudder washed away. Captain Mar
 tin stated that he left port at 10 8. m- and
 headed for Cleveland. When abreast of Dun-- kirk late in the afternoon the steering appar-
 atus became unmanageable and was soon
 found to be entirely useless. After every
 effort had been made to put the ship in sea-
 worthy condition most of the hands gave lP
 all hope. The ship drifted in the trougl
 of the sea and rolled and rocked in the heavy
 waves until it seemed as if she would capsize.
 Many of the crew were badly bruised by be-
 ing knocked about. There are four feet of
 water in the hold and the salt is damaged.
 The cargo will have to be taken out before
 anything can be done as the Avon is scuttled.
 Another schooner is reported on the beach
 about five miles up the lake, but no particu- lars are yet received. Tonight the gale con tinued with unabated fury, but at this time (midnight) seems to be dying away.
