 Damage.
WRECKS ALONG THE COAST
GREAT OCEAN STEAMER OHIO ASHORE IN BOSTON HARBOR.

The Loss to Shipping Interests at New
 York will Also be Large-The storm
 Throughout the State.
 Boston, Nov. 27.-Even the belief in the well known safety of Boston har- Dor was rudely shaken by the terrible blizzard of last night and this morn ing for its usual placid waters proved anything but a harbor of refuge for dozen or more of the coasting vessels, while one great ocean steamer, the Ohio, of the Wilson line, was torn from her moorings and driven high and dry on Spectacle Island. Schooners and coal barges with two anchors out which had reason to expect wethering of the gale, were broken from their moorings and hurled against piers. It will take many hours to make complete list of the casualties arising from the storm in Boston harbor alone, but from the present indications it certainly lcoks as though it might be a long one.
 Fortunately the greater portion of the CCdStluS lGcl WdS oSCulCAS liCu oP at the wharves. It remained for the schooners and barges anchored in the lower bay to bear the brunt of the storm wrath. Anchored at quarantine was the Wilson liner, Ohio, a great four -masted cargo boat just in from Hull, England. She had only small cargo on board and her sides therefore, being high out of the water, offered a tremendous amount of surface for the wind The swift current prevented the vessel from pointing her nose to the wind and after fierce battle of many hours her cable gradually gave way and she ran up on the beach of Specta- cle Island where she now lies high and dry. As the tide was very high when the Ohio went ashore the work of haul- ing her off is likely to be difficult. The Ohio lies about a mile from the place of the Venetian wreck. On shore not far from the Ohio is the schooner c. A. White from Baltimore but she will probably float.
 Just above Spectacle Island is Thompson's Island and on the beach are three down-east fishing schooners, The schooners John Sames and Lizzie Dyas are ashore at Port Warren So far as known there have been no lives reported lost from any of the above schooners, although it is said two men were washed overheard from the Vir- ginia. No effort was made this morning to reach the unknown schooners on shore at Moonhead or Quicy Bay.
 It was farther out in the bay that the casualties began with the sinking of at least one, if not two, coal barges and the loss of the crew of each. The tug Cumberland came in early last even- ing with two barges and one of them the Consolidated Coal company No. broke away from the tug and striking Hurts Ledge sunk almost immediately with all four of her crew. Another barge belonging to the Staple Coal O. is reported to have sunk off Long Is- land Head and her crew of four men lost.
 A number of the schooners in the up- per harbor were considerably damaged by collision and by being thrown against the pier heads at South Boston The schooner Ulricar Smith lost her iibboom and the schooner Amelia F Cobb suffered considerable damage. 1'hc schooner Dragnaught just arrived from Philadelphia had her mizzen rig ring carried away by two-mastsd schooner which dragged into her. The fve-masted schooner Governor Ames also dragged her anchor but tugs sue ceeded in towing her into a safe place The cost of the storm in about the cify will amount to over $50,000. Ocean tug Tamaqua also beached at Rainsford is. land and a Reading railroad barge went shore at the same place. The schooners Albert H. Harding of Boston, Mutno- nah of New London, W. H. Y. Hack cit of Boston and R. H. Slope of Bos- ton and barges Hawgod, Iron City an6 Charles Goster from Quebec and g sand scow are ashore along the Com monwealth flats
 IN NEW YORK AND TICINTTY.
