OLD NEPTUNE'S FURY.
Vessels Still Limping Into New York
in Crippled Condition.
"A THREE-MASTED WRECK SPIED.
1t Is Supposed to Be the Schooner Tamos
From Jacksonville.
THE STEAMSHIP WAESLAND OVERDUE

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW York, Oct 15.-All of the feet
that limped into port to-day had yarns Of
disaster to spin. The Cromwell Line
steamer Knickerbocker, from New Orleans,
passed on Monday last about 40 east of Cape
Charles three-masted schooner laden with
lumber, water logged and abandoned. The
Knickerbockers officers could not make out
the derelict's name, which was revealed at
intervals when she rose on the swell They
are sure it was fve-lettered name and
that New York was the vessels hailing
port. Her decks were stove in and her
houses had been washed away.
B. 7. Petty, to whom the schooner Tamos,
which left Jacksonville for this port on
October z, was consipged, was inclined to
believe that she was the luckless vessel.
The Tamos is a centerboarder, has three
masts, and belongs in New York. She
is partly owned by Bath Brothers, of this
city, and partly by her skipper, John J.
Moule. She carried crew of six men.
Their fate may not be known for several
days.
MANY REPORTS OF DAMAGE.
The cyclone that backed in from the sea
Monday night caught the pilot boat G. H.
Marshall. A sea that swept across her at
o'clock in the morning washed Hans Cos
ige, German seaman, out of the cockpit.
He was lost, as the sea was so heavy that
attempting to save him was impossible.
Two schooners, the John H. Tingue, from
Savannah, with railroad ties, and the Water
side, from Jamaica, with logwood, were
forced to abandon the attempt to enter this
port when off the Hook on Saturday. They
ran before the blast to the Delaware break
water, both aleak, with damaged top-ham-
per. The steamer Brixham, from Bar
racoa, came in to-day with ma
chinery and cargo damaged by
seas that had smashed her skylights and
torn off her matches The Norwegian ffuiter
America had her rails broken. The cargo
of the Bermuda, from West Indian ports,
was shifted, and she came in with heavy
list to port. The Alert, from Inagua, twice
parted her rudder chains and broke her
steering gear.
The National Line steamship Spain,
which left London at IL A. NJ September
q, hasn't been spoken to since. She will be
20 days out to-day. Her longest previous
voyage was 1S days. She is commanded by
Captain Griffiths and carries a crew of about
60 men. She is a freighter and carries cattle
on her eastward trips
THE EXPERIENCE OF THE SPREE.
The North German Lloyd steamer Spree,
which reached this port last night, was
buffeted by the same gales which have made
more or less trouble for all shipping for the
past ten days The ship rode out the gales
in good shape, however, and was but few
hours late A number of her passengers
were tossed out of their berths by the pitch
ing and rolling of the ship, and one had his
collar bone fractured. Among her passen-
gers were W. II. Rockefeller and wife and
Adolph Busch and family, of st. Louis
The steamship Waesland, which arrived
this evening from Antwerp a day behind
her time, had gales and high seas all the
way across She shipped lots of green
water, and one of her second cabin passen-
gers was knocked down and three of his
ribs were broken.
