Great Storm in Newfoundland.
A LARGE NUMBER OF VESSELS LOST AND MANY

LARGE NUMBER OF VESSELS LOST AND MANY
LIVES LOST.
HALIFAX, n. s., June 2O-Mail advices from
Newfoundland give the details of the terrible
storm on the coast of that island last Sunday
week. An enormous amount of shipping was
destroyed and many lives were lost. At Old
Perlican all the fishing stages and other water
side property We're destroyed. and upwards of
forty vessels were totally wrecked At Crates
Cove the loss of property is said to
have been considerable. Wreckage has
drifted ashore, evidently of two schooners.
A vessel loaded with provisions, bound from
Catalina for Twillingate, and two other schoon-
ers We're lost. Three vessels at Little Catalina
We're driven from their mOOrings to sea. At
Bird Island Cove three vessels and many small
boats went ashore, and many fishing stages
were destroyed. Eight vessels went ashore at
Brown Cove, and everything was swept away.
Two schOOnerS are ashore at Plate Cove, and
at BOnayiSta five SchOoners were lost and a great
many stages and fishing Jacks are also gone.
The beach is filled with drift timber.
Styenty-five vessels were driven ashore at
Bonavista, and some of them were smashed.
The storm Is considered to be the worst that
has visited Newfoundland in forty years. The
fact thai most OF the vessels lost were loaded
with supplies for the fisheries is probably the
worst feature of the disaster. 1t is rumored
that three bait Skiifs, each with six men on
board, left Hollywood on Saturday and has not
since been heard of. a bait skif bottom up,
foated into TOpsail, and it is supposed that
she is one of the three referred to.
