BY SEA AND LAND.
Lives and Vessels Lost
on Atlantic Coast.
More Than 100 Craft Piled Up-in
Boston Harbor-ShailoWS Strewn
With WreCkage.

BOSTON, Nov est is known def
initely tonight that more than seventy
lives have been lost in the wrecks OF
tugs. schooners and coal barges dur
ing the storm of Saturday night and
Sunday morning, and if the steamer
Portland has also gone down, as now
seems possible, the list OF casualties
will rise TO 40, with over 100 vessels
OF all descriptions ashore, two score
OF them total wrecks and an unknown
number probably beneath the waves
OF Massachusetts, bay.
There is scarcely a bay, harbor or
Inlet from the PenobscOt to New Lon
don that has not on its shores the
homes of some stanch craft, while all
along Massachusetts bay, and especial
Iv Boston harbor the beaches are plleu
high with the wreckage OF schooners
and coal barges. The record, although
hourly lengthening, is still incomplete,
for that ocean graveyard OF Cape Goa
is still to be heard from.

before the story of destruction wrought
bv wind and wave, yet it will be many
a day before the full import or the dis
aSter is realized.
The islands of Boston harbor are
without exception, strewn with wrecks
and wreckage. No less than twenty
nine vessels are ashore at Gloucester
and over twenty in the supposed SAFE
harbor of Vineyard Haven parted their
anchor chains yesterday, and are high
and dry on the beach. Nantasket beach
saw two Schooners and a coal barge
dash to pieces on its sands. The rocks
OF Cohasset claimed Stanch Usher
man; Scituate, a we'll known pilot
boat Manchester, a Down East lumber
man, while one tug and three barges
known to have been between Cape tod
and Boston are unaccounted for, and
probably are lost. The upper harbors
of Boston, Plymouth, Salem, Ports
mouth, Portland and other places
where vessels were supposed to De
comparatively safe, were the scenes OF
numerous collisions between the ships
and the whar'ves.
Every life-saving crew performed
deeds of heroism in rescuing crews
from stranded vessels, and tugboat
captains risked life and property IN
their endeavor to save life.

SiiAkkEY'o FIGHT.


NEW YORK, November 22.-Ton
Sharkey got the decision over Jim Cor
bett in their fight at the Lenox Ath-
letic Club tonight because Jim McVey,
one of Corbett's seconds, broke into the
ring during the ninth round. It was a
highly unsatisfactory fight which a
large portion of the crowd was pre-
pared to vote fake and it was only
the action of Honest John Kelly" the
referee, in calling all bets off, that pre-
vented another gambling scandal.
McVeys conduct was very remark
able. for there was nothing that de-
manded his presence in the ring. He is
an old-timer at the game, and knew
that his entry would cost his principal
the fight He declares that he thought
the round over, that Sharkey had foul
ed Corbett and that he was merely pro-
testing in behalf of his man. CorbetI
made a fine showing of indignation al
| the offender and the police had TO drag
the pair apart. What McVey says as
to the fouling is true, for both men
,broke the agreement not to hit either
in clinches or at the breakaway.
| Unsatisfactory as it all was the ref
cree was compelled to give the decision
to Sharkey, but he made a most popu-
lar ruling by declaring all bets off.
