Boston, Feb. "A score of persons
were drowned and S2OoO00O loss in
flicted by the dreadful storm that
swept over eastern Massachusetts and
Rhode Island Monday night and Tues
day morning.
-Four unidentified bodies lie in the
coroners office in Gloucester. Five
more are in Lynn, brought over from
Little Nahant where the schooner
Charles II. Briggs was wrecked. Twelve
unidentified corpses are re,&rted to be
al Bakers Island. In Salem Harbor.
They, too. must have manned some of
the schooners which were lost in
Gloucester harbor That there are
others in the waters of the bay seems
almost certain.
Wreckage is strewn up and down the
coast from Cape Ann to Cape Cod.
Thirty schooners were wrecked in Mass
achusetts bay. On land the loss by
the storm seems to have been confined
entirely to property, for while many
horses were killed in the streets Of
Boston. electrocuted by falling trolley
wires, by some miraculous chance no
human being was struck.
Twenty-four hours elapsed before d.
rect telegraphic communication was re-
stored between Boston and the rest of
the world. The electric car service in
the city was restored by yesterday noon.
but in most of the smaller towns the
trolley lines are still crippled.
The pilot boat Varuna reached here
yesterday after an awful experience in
the storm, during which Captain WILL
lam H. Fairfield was seriously injured.
At 10 o'clock Monday night the Varuna
placed Pilot McEIlllan aboard the Cum
ard steamer Catalonia, and the pilot
boat was then headed out into the bay.
Captain Fairfield was the only pilot left
on the boat, and he was standing in the
cockpit aft, keeping her head to the
wind. Suddenly fearful wave swept
over the Varuna's sterm throwing Cap
tain Fairfield over the binnacle. He
was nearly unconscious when picked
up. Three Of his ribs were fractured,
and he sustained injuries to his shoul-
der.
Among the arrivals yesterday was the
steamer Saturn, Captain Wiley, from
Newport News, with the barge Lone
Star In tow. After passing Highland
light on Monday forenoon the vessel
made lee under Race Point, where
she remained during the blizzard, and
was uninjured. Both the steamer and
barge were heavily ice clad on their ar
rival here.
The Warren line steamship Cambro-
/ man, from LIVERPOOL arrived yester-
day. Captain Evans stated that at 10
so'clock Monday night he was 40 miles
. to the eastward of Boston light when
the storm broke, and for the safety Of
ship and crew he put to sea again. At
a. m. Tuesday the steamer was put
on her course again, but the gale soon
began to increase in fury. and the
steamer was again headed seaward.
when the weather cleared the steamer
was steered for Boston.
