house, aud finding his 2O-year-old brother

AK and hacked his body to pieces. He then
attacked two younger sisters, but they escap-
ed and ran to their father, who was at work
in a cornfeld, 800 yards from the house. The
father spread the news among their neigh

The hurricane struck the Reynolds broad

hung there. The seas were running heavily

away, and then the VESSEL righted, but the
deck was ripped up, the cabin washed out,
and all the iood, water, clothing and nau-

NINE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Awful Suffering of the Crew Of q Nor
wegian Bark

The British steamer Evelyn, Capt Horner
from Huelva, Spain, anchored in the Della
ware river Tuesday evening, having on
board the almost lifeless bodies of nine sea-
men, the crew OF the Norwegian bark Lovise,
who were picked up at sea after being adrift
without food or water for nine days.
Their condition when rescued was most
pitiable, and 30 faint had they become that
II was necessary to tie lines to them and haul
their attenuated and trembling forms on
board the steamship. The particulars OF the
terrible suffering OF the men are meager, as
they are still too weak to go into detail.
The Lovisc, In command OF Capt. Ander-
son, left Mobile August II for Rosario, with
full cargo OF lumber. She experienced the
September hurricanes and was badly dis
abled. Her condition became 80 bad that
all hands had to leave her In two small boats
and uutil the Evelyn hove in sight they had
not seen vessel for nine days. They could
not have lasted another night 80 great was
their suffering. Under treatment received
since on board the Evelyn the unfortunate
men are recovering, but their condition is
still precnrious. The Lovise was an old
style craft, and when the seas washed her
cargo the rails were carried away and decks >
wrenched open In many places, allowing the
water to flow freely into her hold. At times
she was cor pletely at the mercy of the seas
on deck.
For days they clung to the sinking fabric,
expecting with every lunge she made to be
hurried into eternity. Finally the conditio n
OF the vessel became such that the crew
could no longer remain on her, so they put
on In the remaining two small boats, hardly
dreaming that they would ever see land
again. Their struggle was u desperate one.
Days Of anxiety and suffering soon told on
the unfortunate men, three of whom
lost their minds. They raved and finally
sank from mere exhaustion. When the
Evelyn hove in sight these poor fellows lay
helpless in the bottom OF the boat. They
were too weak to realize that their rescue
had ceen effected.
Capt. Horner did everything possible for
the suffering sailors and there Is now hope
OF their recovery.
The Lovlse was owned In Christana by
NJ. Langaard a Co., and was formerly the
British bark W. ii. Workman.

SUMNER HOTELS SWEPT 70 SEA.
THE WEST INDIA CYCLONE.
Buildings and PaviliOns Demolished by
Force of the Waves.

The West India cyclone, which has swept
the Atlantic coast from the Caribbean Sea to
the Chesapeake Bay, reached New York on
the 18th.
Coney Islands beach was swept by the
waves of the highest tide In the history of the
famous resort. A large number of temporary
structures along the front were destroyed.
The boulevard was flooded as far as Neptune
avenue The shelter houses Mt the intersec-
tion of the concourse and boulevard were
washed away. Waves running mountain
high battered the plaza in front OF the
Brighton Beach hotel and tore away part Of
the concert pavilion. The Ocean hotel, west
OF the Brighton, wns surrounded by water
and its foundation partly wrecked, driving
its occupants out. Numerous bathing
pavilons and amusement houses In West
Brighton were damaged or destroyed, among
the latter being the Seaside athletic club
house. The old iron pier, that was believed
TO be invincible, was cut ia two by the mighty
impact of the waves.
Manhattan Beach shared the disaster with
other sections OF the Island. Much of the
ornamentation of the grounds in front of
the Manhattan Beach hotel was swept away
and the magnificent lawn in front OF the
swell Oriental hotel was made a dismal
waste. The total losses on the island will
exceed S200,00
The tide rose over Cape May meadows
FIVE feet deep, accompanied by n heavy,
beating sea. At South Cape May the sea
carried away the beach bulwarks and large
sections OF the avenue roadbed and several
cottages on its border.
The storm was most devastating that has
visited Sea Isle City since 1892. The streets
were flooded, and many hotels and cottages
along the narrow strip of sand between
Townsend and Corsons inlets were wrecked.
The Brunswick hotel fell in mass Of ruins.
Sea Isle City was entirely cut of from train
connection, not train moving since Satur-
day.
The scenes at Egg Harbor City. n. j., were
distressing. The wind blew a hurricsne all
day and all night and all day again, Many
houses were unroofed and many people were
forced into the streets.
Among the craft reported sunk or damag-
ed Is the yacht Novelte, which was driven
ashore. The yacht is badly damaged and is
likely to go to pieces. She is owned in Phila-
delphia and had been recently overhauled
there.
At Sandy Hood the hurricane blew 75 miles
an hour and the lighthouse at one time seem
cd in danger of being wrecked.
