AT THE MERCY OF THE sToRm

AT THE MERCY OF THE STORM. Tke Steamer WyIo Arrives in Hampton Roads After Weathertns Terrible GaIe-A Man at the Wheel Washed Away.
 NORFOLK, April 1.-The British steamer Wylo arrived in Hampton Roads to day. She was greatly damaged in the late storm. The captain noted protest with the British vice. consul here. The Wylo was bound from Philadelphia to Havana with cargo of coal and passed out of the breakwster at 11:30 on the 9th inst. with moderate breeze from ZINE. At S:s0 the wind, which had been gradually increasing, blew gale, continuing with terrific force during the night. The vessels head was brought to the wind and the engines slowed. Early Sunday morning, the 7th inst, the wheel chains parted and the vessel fell off into the trough of the sea, taking water fore and aft and rolling fearfully. The screw steering apparst- us afterwards put on, the heavy seas that broke on board making this task 8 very diff cult one. The vessel was then brought to the wind as before. She continued in this way for few hours, when she dipped her stern and took heavy sea which washed away one of the men at the wheel and broke the wheel into two pieces. The man and the wreck of the wheel were sent against the after port skylight with great force, breaking the whole of the mid dle part. Water then poured into the cabin in torrents and holes had to be
 bored in the cabin floor to let the water run into the hold. The captains books, in- struments, furniture and the ships stores were ruined. When the wheel broke the hands were called out, but before relieving tackles could be put on the remaining part of the wheel was broken of, and the rudder threshed across from side to side by heavy blows, breaking off both of the rudder's guards on the stern post and breaking the screw steering gear to pieces. While secur ing the latter three able-bodied seamen were
 struck down by the sea and so injured as to
 be of no further service. Throughout the day the wind continued to increase until 5:30 D. m. when it blew with the force of a hurricane.
 At 5:45 heavy sea struck the port life boat and demolished it. During Sunday night the wind continued to blow with un-
 abated violence. and the vessel was almost
 smothered by heavy seas which made clean
 breach over her, sweeping off everything
 moveable from the docks. Mondays expert ence was much the same as that of Sunday.
 The wind did not Hull until o'clock Tuesday
 morning when the vessel arrived in Chesa- peake Bay.
