SHIPPING DAMAGE AMOUNTS TO
A MILLION.
HUNDREDS OF WRECKS
Railroad and Trolley Service Crippled
Low Lands FIooded-Roefs
Blown OFF.

New York, Nov. 25.-Ihe great
storm which came speeding up from
the south on Saturday night has
spent it's force in this zone of the At
lantic coast and the waters driven
upon the lowlands and beaches are
subsiding. A more careful survey of
the storm swept coast indicates that
the aggregate damage will exceed the
general estimate of yesterday. Hun
dreds of small crafts were wrecked
or badly damaged, wharves and piers
at every exposed point were batterer
down, many seaside resorts were un-
rooted, the lowlands were flooded,
city cellars were filled and hundreds
of houses were damaged. Estimates
of the aggregate damage run slightly
below and considerably above $1,000
900. Down at Monmouth Beach a
big German ship, Flottbek, was driv-
en- ashore and there was thrilling
rescue of her crew by life savers;
an angry sea was still beating upon
the beach today.
Wreckers have been engaged but
until the sea calms nothing can be
done toward saving the ship and her
cargo. The big craft is firmly en-
bedded in the sand and was still in
tact and Captain Zingler, her master,
who watched her from the life saving
station. was sure that both vessel and
cargo would be saved.
Stormbound shipping was released
! early today, but the seacoast railroad
and trolley service will limp until the
washouts are filled in
Linemen were busy restoring prostrat-
ed lines today, but it will be couple
of days before these services are
completely restored. The extent of
damage to the rapid transit tunnel
was not fully determined today.
Reports of damage done by the
storm of Saturday night and Sunday
continue to come in. Details from
points on the Jersey coast, southern
coast of Long Island and upper shore
of Long Island Sound, show that de
struction was widespread and none
tary loss much heavier than at first
supposed. Long Branch reports show
that hardly building there escaped
some damage. AS an evidence of the
wind plank about 20 feet long, seven
| inches wide and two inches thick was
torn from the roof of the pier pavilion
and blown across Ocean avenue. II

driven into the side of the building tc

Shore improvements are in ruins
while fine shade trees are laid low ant
extensive lawns piled high with sane

and it will take days to figure out the

A Man of Resources.

The spectators who were watching a
large store building burn down were
Mortified to see a man appear at win
dow about twenty feet above the front
sidewalk, every other avenue of escape
having been cut off by the flames.
The firement were at work In the rear
OF the building, and there was no time
to go after ladder.
A leap to the ground below seemed
almost certain death. The man, how
ever, in spite of his position, was the
coolest person in sight.
''Take off your coats" he shouted,
"and make a pile of them on the side
walk! I'll jump down on them"
It was done In an instant. A hundred
men jerked off their coats and threw
them on the walk beneath the window,
the man meanwhile having climbed out
and hung by his hands from the ledge.
He dropped, alighted on the center OF
the pile, and escaped without injury,
the crowd cheering him Justify for bis
pluck and generalship.
1t only remains to add that 1t took
some time for the owners Of the respec-
tive coats to identify and recover their
property, and the last man found only
ragged remnant Of garment in place
Of the fine new tailor-made article he
had contributed to the heap; but this,
let us hope, was an accident, such as
may sometimes happen when hasty Sc
lections are made from q crowded um
