THE storm of last week or rather
succession of storms was quite as
marked in its effects as some of those |
earlier in the season. The tide in the
Delaware was unusually high. and
noted in Philadelphia as the highest
there for several years. The daily
papers report the schooner Lizzie S.
Haynes, lumber laden, from Savannah
to Baltimore; was wrecked on Bodies
Island, and FIVE of the crew were
drowned. The schooner A. E. Black
man capsized at sea and FIVE of the
crew were lost. The schooner Mabel
L. Phillips is reported adrift, aban-
dOned on her way to Philadelphia.
The schooner Jacob NJ. Haskell. of
Boston, becoming disabled off Cape
Hatteras, was abandoned by the can
tain and crew, who were picked up by
ship Landseer and taken to New
York.
