NOT ONE WAS SAVED.
Crew of The Albert W.
Smith Perish.
CRAFT WAS AN OLD ONE.
Reports of Disasters to Other Vessels
Along the Storm Swept Coast.

MANAsQUAS, n. j., April l2, - The
furious gales and high winds left their
mark all along the New Jersey coast
Along the Jersey Central railroad. to
Toms river. the sea has overhowed the
shore and form ed little lakes for a consid-
cradle distance. The beach far down the
coast is strewn with light wreckage. The
wind has blown full gale, the high seas
roaring and pounding aud foaming with
mighty rage.
In the height and fury of the storm,
the three masted schooner Albert w.
Smith WAS driven ashore at point mid
way between Seagrt and Manasquan.
In less than half an hour after the vessel
struck she was pounded into kindling
wood by the seas which broke over her.
What was left, portion of the hull, was
carried upa quarter Of a mile south Of
the lifesaving station.
Eight men, il is said, composed the
crew OF the Albert w. Smith, not ore OF
whom has beeu seen since their boat was
wrecked, and il is unlikely that any man
of the crew has survived to tell the tale
OF his experiences in the awful gale.
The wreck was discovered by George
W. Green of the Squan beach hfessving
station. Captain II. II. Longstreet re-
lated the following story OF the wreck;
"Green, during a binding snow and
when the storm was at its height, saw
the outlines Of a vessel. which was strug-
Cling with the breakers, above the station.
Two masts were standing at that time,
but there were no topmasts We got out
our men at once and endeavored TO launch
lifeboat. but by the time we got to her
only one mast was standing. A very
short time afterwards she broke up.
'"There was no sign Of living person
on the schooner when we got To her. The
wreck drifted with the sweeping current
a quarter of mile south of the station.
In she binding sand and snowstorm we
dragged our gun to her and made one
shot with line, but by the time we
could get ready TO shoot the second time,
there was nothing left to shoot at.
"You can see," said the captain, as he
kicked his ru bier boot against piece OF
the hull of the craft, "that she was old
and rotten" Without the slightest effort
he kicked huge chunks of the wood apart,
it being totally rotten.
The vessel was OF 579 tons, 145 feet
keel 35 feet beam and l6 feet hold. She
was built in 1873 at Kenne bunk, Me-, and
was owned by Albert w. Smith of Provi-
dence, from which place she sailed. She
was bound for Providence from Philadel-

DAMAGE is HEAVY.
Al Least Fifteen Lives Have Been Lost OF New
Jerseys Coast

SEABRIGHT, n. j., April l2.-The storm
raging at this place is the worst that has
visited Seabright in IL years. Three
thousand feet of the New Jersey Southern
railroad, between this place and High
land beach, has been washed out. The
waves were so strong that the iron rails
were twisted out Of shape The sand has
been washed over the tracks for nearly
half a mile. A cut Is reported from the
ocean to the Shrewsbury river, near Cali
lee, which completely shuts off travel
north or south from Seabright. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are down,
poles having been blown down by the
strong wind.
The effect of the storm has been de-
vastatiug throughout this state. Furious
gales and monstrous seas have wrought
havoc and destruction along the Jersey
coast, and the monetary damage cannot
be computed yet. Buildings, trees, tele-
graph and telephone wires. railway
tracks, embankments, wharves and
fences all yielded to the destructive fury
of the elements. Above IL all stands out
the loss of human lives At least Is per.
sons are known 10 have pe-ished.
Many fishing boats and small craft
anchored along the shores before the
storm have probably been wrecked. as the
shores are strewn with wreckage
Atlantic City suffered consdera bly,.
Waves dashed over the board walk, and
at times this famous attraction was
threatened with destruction. At Brigan.
tine beach the new electric railroad was
almost wiped out. At Red Bank several
lighthouses were carried away and much
damage done to sailing craft. All tele-
graph and telephone wires rsdiating from
Seabright were Frustrated and seashore
service is cut off
In Morris. Bergen and Warren counties
roads were impossible. At Bayonne
many boats and lighthouses were washed
away. At South Amboy partially
erected house was blown down, and at
New Brunswick electric light, telegraph
and telephone wires were levelled to the
ground.
Incalculable damage was done to the
fruit crop. The peach crop suffered par.
ticularly, and it is feared that the entire
crop will prove failure. Farmers
throughout the state will be heavy suf-
ferers.
