AN UNKNOWN MANS DEATH.

The latter steamer supplied the lumber
laden schooner Adelene, of st. Johns, N.
B., with provisions. Her captain said that
on Tuesday night the deck load was washed
overheard, and with it the schooner's mate,
whose name he did not know.
Nineteen storm-defying steamships came
in from the white-capped tumult of the open
sea and passed quarantine into safety. Only
eight of big fleet of sailing craft that
ought to have been here by Thursday were
reported. Not few of them, the nautical ex-
perts conjecture, have met with disaster.
Five of this lucky octet were barks, two
ships, one brig and a schooner.
The Old Dominion Line steamship Old
dominion, which arrived, fell in with the
dismasted schooner Robert Mcfarland off
Fenwick Island. on Thursday afternoon,
and towed her into the Delaware break
water. She was leaking badly and was
utterly at the mercy of the hurricane Her
decks had been swept clean. None of her
crew were hurt. The bark Eudora, Captain
Lewis, 40 days from Buenos Ayres, in
ballast, was thumped pretty hard BY giant
seas and lost or split nearly all her sails.
RAN. BEFORE THE WIND.
The schooner Ada Barley gave up the at
tempt to get from Baltimore to Buenos
Ayres when the gale struck her on Septem-
Der 8, 300 miles south of Delaware. She
turned her nose this way, and arrived after
a rough experience to-day. She lost
her main boom and sail and her
lifeboats, and had everything movable
washed from her decks. The bark Lord
Templeton, 46 days from Bremen, had every
thing movable swept from her decks and
lost few sails. The italian bark Pie
trino, SO days from Smyrna, also lost and
split nearly all her canvas. The bark st.
james, Captain Cook, 150 days from Hiogo,
had to run before the blast for nearly day
to save herself from being wrecked.
The Anchor line steamer, City of Rome,
which arrived Thursday evening, did not
reach her dock until tonight. Some of the
steerage passengers state that she narrowly
steamer to-day, while lying outside the
bar. The rain and fog were so
thick that a person on deck could
scarcely see boats length ahead. The
City of Rome was waiting for pilot, when
up loomed big steamer in the fog, coming
right toward her. The steamers name was
not learned, so the passengers say, but she
came mighty near making herself felt.
STRANDED VESSELS.
The German ship Geestermunde, Captain
Lenthe. is aground on AbSecon Beach. She
left Stettin July IA, for Philadelphia, loaded
with cement and empty coal oil bar
rels. She struck the beach about
8 o'clock Thursday evening. The
Absecou life-saving crew went out
and found the crew of 18 men in panicky
condition. Toward midnight the sea threw
the Geestermunde around nearer in shore,
and this morning she was less than 40 yards |
away from the beach. The crew were |
obliged to abandon the vessel, and she will |
probably be total loss.
The steamer which went ashore last even
ing near Cape Henry proves to be the God
revy, iron laden, from st. Jago, Cuba, to
Baltimore. The vessel rests easily half a
mile from shore. She will he saved.
The schooner Nellie V. Stokes, of Deer
Isle, Me-, from Mount Desert for New York,
with granite, was wrecked on Chatham Bar
ast night. Her crew were seen early this
clinging to the rigging and were
rescued by the Chatham life saving crew.

She will be total loss.

he tug MORA, of Ogdensburg, N. Y, collid-
ID last night. The Moira sank Immediately.
