The Portland daily press., 1894-11-06
A WILD STORM.
The Wind Blew with Terrific Force at the
Cape Last Night.

At midnight, Capt. Trundy of
The United States I, saving station,
wasareacled by telephone for the first
time during the evening, having been
kept outside by the storm. A night
like last night means for captain and
crew the greatest possible vigilance.
They must know what is on the coast, if
possible, and the beatsn are longer,
wilder and harder than those of any
Maine police force, although the patrol
men are in no danger of getting into
fight with some drunken pa rites.
Last evening, Captain Trundy, as is
his custom on stormy nights, gave his
personal attention to the inspection of
all the dangerous points, and at mid
night reported all clear, but wild night,
We have no reason to look for a
wreck, because Of any special knowledge
that any vessel Is off this coast. Before
the night set in, and when the storm
was less wild, than it is now, we saw
two small schooners we'll in, but they
made Portland in safety. The. night is
very wild, but the sea is not very high.
by no means as high as we have seen it:
the wind is SO heavy that it beats the
waves down. 1t is very bad night how
