UPWARDS OLE 30 WRECKS.


are missing and are believed to have been
lost.
The schooner Leila Smith, reported
ashore, lies high up on Tybee beach just
west of the wharf. She dragged through
the wharf, the piliugs of which made
several holes in her.
Six unknown vessels are reported
ashore on Tybee beach from the out
side
The other disasters which occurred to
the shipping between the quarantine sta
tion and Tybee Roads are;
The Norwegian bark Harold, which is
lying on. Tybee beach.
The Norwegian bark Linden is at the
quarantine station, high and dry in the
marsh with her foremast gone.
The Norwegian bark Elma is also up in
the marsh at quarantine.
The Norwegian bark Loyal, is in the
marsh near the quarantine station, with
all of her masts gone.
The Portuguese bark Audacia is high and
dry, and is considered to be total wreck.
The bark Mexico, which was lying at
the upper quarantine wharves, is now in
between the lateral row of pilings of the
wharf. How she got there is a wonder.
apparently she must have been lifted over
the outside pilings.
The British barkentine Genesta is high
and dry on McQueen's island, just abreast
of Venus Point. She is apparently in
good shape with everything standing.
The only vessel that rode safely to her
anchors during the storm was the bark
Cosmos, and her masts are all standing
DREDaEs DRIVEN ASHORE.
Two of p. Sanford Ross dredges, Nos.
5 and z, are on McQueen's island, about
half way between st. Augustine creek and
Lazaretto creek. The Tybee railroad
embankment saved them from longer
voyage inland.
The dredge Tommachichi, is over in the
marsh high and dry, having been blown
from Venus Point across Long Island
The bark Ormus was blown from her
dock across the river to the Savannah
side and afterwards was blown over the
river again and is now high and dry on
shoal opposite Jefferson street.
AphOhh Al ShAhl p hhAhHs
The stern-wheel steamboat Abbeville
and the oyster boat Fred f. Brown, be-
longing to the Oyster Canning and Guilt
vation Company of Brunswick, of which
H. G. Lewis of Bridgeport, Conn, is
president, are ashore at Smart's wharf.
The Abbeville is complete wreck. She
is broken in twain. One-third lies on the.
bank and two-thirds on what was the
wharf She cannot be saved. The oys-
ter boat Fred F. Brown can be gotten
off. She has two holes in her bottom and
one blade of her propeller is broken. Her
smoke stack was blown away and the
starboard side of her house is stove in.
THE CAPTAIN BLOWN OVERHEARD.
Capt. White, who had charge of the
boat, says he and Deckhand William Rob-
erts were blown overheard during the
most violent part of the hurricane and
were in the water until the storm abated,
after midnight. Everything on the decks
of the boats was blown away. He says
the water rose with remarkable rapidity
He estimates that it rose eight feet be-
tween 9 p. m. and IL :25 p. m. His vessels
were lashed to the wharf with chains
and ropes, but the wind was so violent
that much stronger fastenings would not
have held them.
RESCUED BY THE CUTTER.
The revenue cutter Boutwell, arrived
yesterday afternoon in Montgomery, hav-
ing ridden out the hurricane,in Waldburg
creek. She brought up the family of Mr..
J. Rauers, their house having been badly
damaged by the storm. Mr.. Rauers lost
his bath-house, steamboat wharf and
naphtha launch. He estimates his loss at
several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Isaac Beckett and two sons and
Mr.. Aveillhe and son were also on board
the Boutwell,, having been taken from
their yacht, the Glance, just before
the blow. The yacht was driven
high and dry on the marsh
during the storm, and her damages could
not be ascer tanned.
Capt. Wood and one man from the
sloop Fanny Bell came up in the cutter,
their vessel being on shore at St. Cathe-
rine's Island.
WRECKED OFF ST. GATHERINGS.
The three-masted schooner Beatrice |
Mclean, of St. Johns, N. B., recently |
ordered to Sapelo by the quarantine au-
thofities Of Savannah, had put into st. |
GATHERINGS for harbor, and was drawn |
high up in the woods on the west side of |
ST Catherine's Island. Her crew are still |
on board.
Other vessels ashore are the schooner |
Loretto on St. GATHERINGS island, and the |
schooners Mary and Maid of the Mist |
near Florida Passage. The last two were |
supplied by the cutter with fresh water. |
No loss of life was reported.
Nothing has been heard from the |
steamship City of Savannah or steam
ship William Crane which were due at
Tybee Sunday. 1t is believed they met
the storm and put to sea.
THE NACooCHEE ALL RIGHT.
The steamship Nacoochee weathered
the gale in a safe and secure harbor
around Venus Point and sustained no
damage. She went to sea yesterday
morning.
The schooner Birman, Capt. Simmons,
sailed Friday for Portland, Me-, although
the captain was advised by several old
mariners not to go. The presumption is
that he was caught by the storm and that
