NEW YORK, Nov. 26. Reports of
the damage done by the Storm on Sat
nrday night and Sunday continue to
come iu. There are not many new
startling facts coming to light but the
details from points on the Jersey coast.
the southern coast of, Long Island and
the upper shore of Long Island sound
show that the destruction was wide
spread and the monetary loss much
heavier than at first supposed.
Long Branch reports show that hard
ly building there escaped some dam
age. Ii is figured that it the storm had
lasted another twelve hours the result
would have been Il ruined city.
An instance of the great force Of the
wind Is shown by plank from the
roof on the shore end Of the pier. This
plank is about 20 feet long. Z inches
wide and 2 thick. 1t was torn from the
roof and up ended apparently and
whirled into the air and clear across

ond and third stories. 1t still sticks
out Of the wall.
On Long Island many portions of the
Long Island railroad tracks are st.l
submerged. Besides the loss resulting
from stoppage of trattic..-i il will take
many thousands of dollars to repair
the breaks. Temporary repairs are be-
ing made as fast as possible. The
damage along Flushing creek alone Is
estimated Mt $4,000. Huntington.
Long Island suffered most severely.
Yachts and lighthouses were swept

Reports still come in from points In
NeW Jersey, on Staien Island sound
and the surrounding inland waters 1t
will take days to figure out the loss.
Adyices from Toms River, y. j.. say
that the wrecks of four barges lie along
the coast in the vicinity of Barnegat
light. They came ashore during the
storm and are rapidly pounding 10
pieces in the surf. There will be no sal

up rapidly under the continued heavy

The barges were the Grant. Wilmore

one man on board. Two Of the men
were saved through their barges being
driven far enough inshore for the life

two barges stranded farther out, and
