NEWPORT, R. l., Oct. 1.-THE gale has
continued high all day, causing considera-
BILE damage to shipping. The worst acct
dent was to tug William E. Chadwick and
her tow of six barges. She arrived about
noon, having had very heavy weather dur
ing last night with high wind from south
east and south. She found it very diff
cult to care for her barges, the Tulip, Mas
sachusetts, Falconi, Cuba, Daisy and Glow
tug stern first. About o'clock this morn
ing barge Glover was struck by sea and
sank Two men on board leaped to small
boat but it capsized. Then they hung to
its keel till rescued by the tug, which
dropped the barges, the Cuba and Falcon
making sail and towing the other three.
The Massachusetts soon broke away from
the Falcon when the tug took her, the
Tulip and Daisy in tow. The Cuba and
Falcon started under sail and reached
here in that way. Off Green Hills some
four miles west of Point Judith the Daisy
parted her hawser. The tug left her
behind and came in with the Massachu-
sets and Tulip but they nearly sank be-
fore reaching here The captain of the
tug believes that Daisy anchored off
Point Judith and that her crew was res
cued by the life-saving crew, or possibly
by a three-,nasted schooner which came
along soon after and is in the outer har-
Dor. The wind is so high and sea SO
rough, even in the harbor, that the
the schooner cannot be boarded to ascer-
tain the fate of the barge and men. The
wind subsidized somewhat at sunset A
number of vessels in the harbor dragged
anchors and fouled. Fishing smack Ella
H. Powers of Salem, lost anchor and
seventy fathoms of chain. Fishing schoon-
er Centennial carried away mast and bow
spirit and went ashore.
Barge Daisy drifted about with the two
men, Lester and Antonio Lucian, laboring
at the pumps until after 10 o'clock this
morning They were seen from Narragan-
sett and their ensign, union down, was also
observed from the Baltimore steamer Berk-
shire. It was too rough to launch boat,
but a line was hove to the barge and each
man fastening it about his waist he was
drawn through the water to the steamer,
thoroughly exhausted. The men were
brought to this city and cared for. The
barge probably sank soon after the men
were taken off.
PRov1NcETowN, Mass, Oct. ia stiff
southeast gale set in at midnight with
rain, shifting to northeast at noon, in
creasing in violence. Several small boats
were sunk in the harbor, and many trees
were blown down on shore. A fleet of a
Iozan sail of fsshinn cohnnnarS and fO11r
unknown coasting schooners succeeded in
working by the Race and reached the har
Dor in safety Revenue cutter Gallatin
and lighthouse steamer Geranium came in
last night. At noon small schooner was
adrift in the harbor and was soon after
totally dismasted, but it is too rough to
board her. Life-saving stations from
Nauset report by telephone no wrecks up
to o'clock p. m. but serf men are patroll-
ing the beach, keeping a sharp watch.
WELLFLEET, Mass, Oct. 16.-The heavy
gale since noon from the northwest is dim,
inishing at sunset. Several fishing boats
are ashore in the harbor. The schooner
Gray Eagle, with lot of spars for the
American oil factory works on Mayos
beach, was completely demolished by the
force of the wind.
NANTUCKET, Oct. IA gale OF forty
five miles per hour is blowing. The Unit
ed States coast survey steamer Bache is in
precarious position near Great Point,
about a mile off shore; and dragging. As
sistance is ready in case of disaster.
CHATHAM, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE north
west gale moderated slightly at 10 o'clock
re-established. Schooner John L. Newton
fioated at noon with the extremely high
tide, and the terrific westerly gale took
her off the beach and out to sea. She was
abandoned with a full cargo aboard The
cargo of laths is insured in the Union In
suranee company of Bangor. About 50,-
600 laths came ashore and were picked up.
Captain Atkins slipped his anchor and let
the vessel go ashore this morning. Then
he would not allow wreckers to take the
otheranchor out on the beach or do anything
else. If he had not done this the vessel
and cargo would have been saved this
| afternoon instead of going to sea with one
| anchor on the bow. The tow boat compa-
MES have been notified and if tugs are
sent out they will be likely to find the
| schooner as she bears about twelve miles
eastward at sunset. Two large four
masters were sighted this afternoon
anchored northwest of Handkerchief light
ship, also steamers Standard and Rattle
snake, all of which were riding out the
| gale at sunset; steamer City of Savannah
passed Handkerchief lightship for Boston
at sunset. 1t is expected that schooner
Asa Pervere will prove total loss.
NEW York, Oct. 17.-During a severe
blow on the bay this afternoon the freight
steamer Amos 9. Barstow of the Stoning
ton line ran into and sank the tug james
A. Garfield. John Steel, Brooklyn car
penter. and John Lyons, q fireman, wert
drowned, while seven other men on thu
Garfield were rescued. Captain Anderson
of the tug had his arm and jaw baoken
The nose of the Barstow was considerabl.
damaged by the collision. The acciden
occurred in the Buttermilk channel, jus
above Governors Island, and was cause
by the swift tide and the gale, which drov
