the water. The loss to vessel property at
the breakwater will reach, it is thought,
SS,OO0,OO0. The storm continued here with
unabated fury, but beyond dem0lishing a
few Out-buildings and fences and the up
roofing of some trees, there has been no
appreciable damage in this immediate
vicinity. Further UP the country the
peach orchards have been ruined. Some
have scarcely tree left standing.

A special TO the Record from Lewes,
Del, says the loss of life in Delaware Bay
by the storm has been almost as heavy as.
during the great blizzard of March, 1888.
Three coal laden schooners have sank at
Fourteen Foot bank and of twenty-three
persons on board only two are known to be
saved. 1t is reported tonight that two
distance above FOurteen-F0Ot bank with
with all hands on board, and it this rumOr
should prove true it would swell the loss of
life to twenty five.
PILOTS CARRIED OFF.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia report from the
quarantine says number of sloops pro-
ceeded to sea today, including two Bre-
men and Cunard line steamers. Pilots on
board the vessels will undoubtedly be car
ried off, as no pilot boats are in sight to
land them. Another report from
there says the storm continues,
with the wind freshening from east north
east and a high sea running. Great dam.
age is being done to property along the
Staten Island shore. Several steamers and
pilot boats are anchored in Gravesend Bay.
In all nine pilots were carried away
today on steamers they were directing out

pilot boat to take them off.

munication has been established between

THE WORST IN FIFTY YEARS.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 11.-This is the
most severe and damaging storm which
has visited this section of the New Jersey
sea coast in the last fifty years. Here the
surf ran so nigh that it washed the outer
end of the great ocean pier, and dashed the
foam and spray two hundred feet inland.
The bluff has again been badly damaged
and it will cost fully $17OO 600 to repair it
The worst cut in the bluff is opposite the
site of the old East End hotel
north of the Hotel Brighton
Here the foaming surf ate halt
through Ocean avenue. and every assault
of the angry waters made toe gap bigger
The same experience is reported along the
beach. The damage here can yet hardly
be estimated. Nearly all the buildings
around by the Highland Beach association
are badly injured The track of the Cen.
tral railroad has been much damaged.
