DISASTROUS STORM.

The hurricane which prevailed on the
Georgia coast during August 3Oth and
3lst has been disastrous to the coast
wise fleet. Eight first-class schooners.
with an aggregate tonnage OF 4,55S tons,
are known to be lost and in several in
stances their crews are supposed to
have persisted with them Five other
schooners of the fleet reached ports of
safety with more or less damage and
several others are still to be heard from.
With the loss of such number of yes
sells of the already limited fleet, the
coastwise lumber trade will find a scare
lty OF tonnage which cannot readily be
filled. The appropriateness to the in
weston in vessel property has caused al
most cessation in the building of
schooners for some time past, and as
the shipyards are busy with orders for
large sea-going barges it will be diff
cult to place an order for suitable sized
schooners to replace those lost. even If
investors are readily found.-Aartime
