 BOSTON, Nov 27.-The storm has abated somewhat here. It has been much more de- structive along the coast than was the bllz- gard, and the damage to telegraph and tele- phone lines is almost great. Nrecks are reported by almost every life saving station, | and while considerable loss of life is reported | it is feared that another day will show still more But meager reports are received, as 50 per cent. of the telegraph wires are down. The schooner Avalon Milbery, from St. John N B., for New Y ork, with cargo of 940 900 laths, consigned to Scammell Broth CTS, is ashore on Spectacle Island in Boston harbor Three of the crew were swept over board in the gale Their names are Charles Hackford, John Doucette and James Tidd, all of Nova Scotia. \ large American bark was reported off Highland light Saturday morning, bound in. She has not yet been heard from, but it is probable that falling barometer caused her to run out to sea again.
 There are four overdue steamers, the Scythia, Yarmouth, Carroll and Miranda, a sugar steamer from the West Indies. All the vessels have probably put to sea to avoid a lee shore in the terrible gale There are probably 100 vessels ashore on the New Eng hnd coast
 SCITUATE, Mass, Nov. 27-Tha fishing schooner Edward Morton, owned by StubbS & Co, T wharf, Boston, came ashore ill the gale and is total wreck Of her crew of sixteen men all were washed overheard and drowned save one, seaman named Allen, of No. ? Wiggins street, Boston. When the tide went down and left the wreck the beach Allen was found in an unconscious condition under the wreck by the life saving crew and taken to Conroy's hotel, where he was reSus- citated. He was very weak from exposure, and could give but little information,
 He said the vessel came in by Peaked Hill bars on Sunday morning and steered north west for Boston, against the wishes of the crew, who proposed to put into Province town. It was a terrible day. AS near as he could tell, they struck between and 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon and almost i'm mediately capsized. He was down below and was the only saved. He says she carried fifteen men and a boy. After the wreck was discovered he was still under her hull and nearly drowned. He could barely keep his head out of water, but could plainly hear the voices of those on the beach and had to wait hours till the sea left her, when he had barely strength to crawl out.
 HULL, Mass, Nov. 27.-The schooner B. F. Walker, Westgate, of Fall River from Philadelphia for Boston, is high and dry Toddy rocks. Her cabin and forward houses are washed away. She is full of water and will doubtless prove total loss Capt. Westgate and Mate c. NJ. Thomas were lost. The captain was about 50 years of age and native of Taunton. He leaves a family. The mate belonged in Camden Me, and also leaves a family.
 The schooner Gertrude Abbott Capt. Champion, of and from Philadelphia for Boston, is also ashore on Toddy rocks. The crews have been taken off by the life saving crew at Hull The schooner Cox and Green, Capt. Thompson of Greenport, bound from Philadelphia for Boston, is ashore and is fast breaking up on Toddy rocks. The sea is making complete breach over her Her crew Is saved.
 GLOUCESTER, Mass. Nov "~.-The storm was so thick here yesterdsy :, i: was inn possible to see a hundred yards from the shore. The British brig Alice, of Lockport, Captain Harry Saunders, which was at an- chorage inside of Ten Pound Island, went adfift, and her crew abandoned her and went on board of the schooner J. J. Lock, of Bar rington, Captain Banks. The Lock after wards went adrift, and the two crews then abandoned her and went on board of another schooner where they remained until morn ing and then came ashore. Both vessels are supposed to be lost, as they drifted to sea. The two crews of ten men lost everything, and they are ill desperate condition.
 The vessel that went ashore at Delivers Neck was the schooner Addie s. Emery, ot Camden, for Boston, with no cargo. She is a total loss. The men from the abandoned brig and schooner report that several vessels were drifting out of the harbor. It is re ported that the crew of the Emery, which went ashore Sunday evening, was taken of by a fishing vessel, but they have not yet ar rived in this city, and nothing of theil whereabouts has been learned
