TIC llSlnldn-f1lOt e says {:
Yesterday the Norfolk &
Southern railroad brought in
thirty-seven survivors from var
ious wrecked vessels, and the
story told by them is one OF
such fearful character that it is
almost beyond credence. Ac
Cording to the sifted statements
of crews and captains eleven YES
sells lie wrecked some foundered
some broken on the beach be-
tween Body's Island and Cape
Hatteras, a distance OF about
thirty five and one>half miles
or a vessel for every three miles
and a fraction of coast.
Starting at Hatteras Life Saw
ing Station, the first vessel met
with is the schooner Florence
Randall, Captain Cavalier, of
Portsmouth on the beach,
broken up and a total wreck !;
crew and captain saved. Next
to her lies the schooner Aaron
Reppard, foundered in the surf
and five men of crew drowned.
The next is the Robert w.
Daisy, on the beach, her stern
gone and hull badly damaged;
crew saved. Just beyond her is
an unknown schooner, beaten to
pieces in the surf and all hands
lost.
THE BKN. PRISCILLA.
The next, and lying in sight
of the Reppard wreck, is the
barkentine Priscilla, Captain
Springstein, Of Baltimore, cargo
of 5000 barrels -four; vessel
broken up and total wreck. A
little further North lies the
schooner Minnie Bergen whose
crew were saved, but the vessel
is total loss; and, strung along
the beach to Body Island, like
blackened fangs protruding from
the smiling waters, are five
more schooners, total wrecks,
and nothing heard of their crews,
probably all lost.
THIRTY VESSELS LOST.
1t is estimated that between
Hatteras and Cape Fear fully
thirty vessels are lost, and no
one knows what the Diamond
Shoals might reveal. Yester
dav morning ESQ bales of cotton
had come ashore at Hatteras
Light House, indicating the
probable loss Of some big steam
ship, other wreckage pointing
TO the same conclusion streyiuq
the beach.
The Lightship, No. 90, from
Outer Diamond sloal lies hard
and fast ashore just IN the blight
of Hatteras, southeast OF the |
light and around what is known
as the Hook of the Cape. She
is bedded in a quicksand, con
siderably sanded and strained.
but not otherwise much injured
yet may prove from her position
A loss. When she was broken
DOSE her crew tried to steam to
sea, but could make no head
way against the storm, and
lrifted in stern foremost.
A PITIFUL TALE.
