is swept clean away and the wharf sheds
are down. The former site of the pier
can be traced by a few piles still stand
ing half out of the water In the slip a
large mast is about half way out of water,
but the name of the boat at the other end
could not be ascertained.
South Commercial, which was entirely
covered with wreckage, railroad ties and
tin roofing, presented a very deplora-
BILE sight A number of small boats were
in the pile of debris and several small
sized sailing vessels.
North Commercial pier swept entirely
away, not II sign Of it being left. The
rooms of the Carolina Yacht Club are on
this wharf, and the front of the brick
building was pierced through by huge
timbers hurled against it by the waves
during the previous night. In the dock
the yachts Naomi, Polly and Caprice were
sunk and badly wrecked.
VanderhOrst wharf was completely
wrecked and ruined from the Bay TO the
end of the pier. Several yachts in this
dock were damaged past redemption.
Adger's wharf was one of the two safe
ones. Being constructed of stone and
with extra strong sheds it stood the
storm without much injury.
North Adger's had lost it's pier head,
and the sheds were damaged to some ex-
tent.
South Boyce's wharf, a large two-mas-
ter, the Wade Hampton, a Charleston
boat, had her stern flung up on land and
her bow almost under the water She
had had tough time and was pretty
well SCARED up. The Louise, a steam
boat in the same slip, was pretty badly
used up.
Browns wharf, the landing for the
Clyde Line steamers, is one Of the most
Hfun ~
The heads of the piers are gone and every
shed was down. A terrible litter of bar
rels, timber and boxes covered every
thing.
Accommodation wharf had its entire
front down. The Planter rode the storm
tied up at the wharf She had her sides
pretty badly SCARED and a good-size hole
in her deck, near the stern.
Central Wharf.-The three-master, Lau-
ra E. Messer, had her nose showed high
up into the wharf She had pounded
very heavily on the rocks and was pretty
badly SCARED. Her lines did not part,
but the wharf gave way and the schooner
got Wedged in the corner of the dock in a
pretty bad shape.
At Custom House wharf the Wistaria
was tied up with her sides very badly
smashed and her bulwarks gone. No Sc
rious damage was done, however.
The Ferry wharf was an ugly ruin.
The front of the pier was washed away
and the sheds were completely shorn Of
boards and tin.
Union wharf suffered greatly. What
was left of it was piled up in a mighty
small heap The East Shore Terminal
pier No. had lost all the tin from it's
sheds and part of the pier had been
washed away.
Broderick's wharf was completely
wrecked and the dock was filed with
wrecked sloops. The sloop Ida was found
high and dry, and two sloops, each bear
ing the name Minnie, were wrecked on
the wharf.
Wilcox, Gibbs s. Co.'s wharf was very
badly demolished. The piers of the wharf
were all gone and the sheds were down
and the stores of fertilizers were spread
over everything. In this dock is the
wreck of the steamer Daniels Island.
Merchants wharf was also in a bad fix.
Like all the others, her piers and sheds
were wrecked and her slips full of ship
wrecks. Six large sloops were wrecked
at this wharf, the Laura L., Centennial,
Beulah Rose and two unknown boats
that were beaten to pieces.
The Charleston Rice Milling COmpany's
buildings were down, and the wooden
buildings and works of Benefits mill
shared like fate.
Pregnall's Wharf.-The dry dock was
broken right in half, and in the middle II
pilot was tossing around OF her side. The
dry dock is a terrible wreck part of it
crushed in the stern Of the e. II. Jackson,
hurting it severely.
Marine wharf was as much blown down
as the rest and held the wrecks of two
large lighters and two yachts.
Above Pregnalps as far as Marshall's
wharf the wharves all suffered similar
fate
AMONG THE SHIPPING.
At Marshall's wharf were three barks
left on shore. The Cesarina, a bark of
$50 tons, and The Maria, of about 450 TONS
were in the same slip in one huge tangled
wreck.
The bark the Agnes, of Barth, Ger
many, was tied up at Marshall's wharf
before the storm Early in the night she
broke her moorings and was washed by
the high seas over piles and debris high
and dry. Her captain, Schepeler, was
loading her with rosin and turpentine
and was getting ready to start for Savan-
nah to finish the cargo. She is now
high and dry and has lost her rudder and
windlass. Her hull is pretty badly
scraped, but time and tact will put her
afloat again.
