CONEY ISLAND SMALLER.
MANY THOUSAND SQUARE YARDS
WASHED AWAY-RROOKLYN
SUFFERS.

Coney Island. including the resorts known as
the West End Brighton Beach and Manhattan
Beach, was severely damaged during the early
hours yesterday morning by the high tide and
the heavy northeast gale The wind and rain
also resulted in minor accidents and devasta-
tion throughout the Borough Of Brooklyn. 1t
was Coney Island where the greatest amotlnt
of damage was done and 1t is said that many
thousand square yards of that island were taken
out to sea by the heavy tide and beating waves.
At Manhattan Beach proper the damage was
restricted to the almost total destruction Of the
promenade in front OF the Manhattan Beach
Hotel.
Between there and Brighton Beach the water
ran back the bulkheads, swept over the
tracks of the Long Island Railroad and found
an outlet again in the Sheepshead Bay inlet.
At Brighton Beach proper the promenade was
damaged. At the Parkway Baths. owned by W.
A Engeman, of the Brighton Beach Racing
Association, the new board walk entirely
ripped up, and piles driven down for distance
Of fifteen feet pulled out and cast upon the
beach. On portion of the breakwater was
new electric engine which had been brought 10
run pile driver 1t was housed over for the
winter. The storm tore away the housing, and
the engine in danger last night of falling
into the water.
The board walk between Brighton Beach and
debris and in places ripped up and under
mined. The Ocean House, at the entrance to
the Brighton Beach racetrack, was surrounded
by water as was Masons Hotel, at Sea Breeze
ave. and the Ocean Parkway. Large pieces of
the concrete of the Concourse were torn up and
washed hundreds of feet UP the shore as far
as Sea Breeze-ave The waves dashed over the
embankment and extended up the Ocean Park
way. over the tracks of the Coney Island and
Brooklyn Railroad. far as the Church of Our
Guardian Angel. BY noon yesterday the water

OVER A HUNDRED SAIL LOST
LARGE FLEET AT KEYPORT WRECKED
ON BEACH AND DOCKS.

Kevport. n. J., Nov. 24-This place has suf-
fered more to-day from tide and wind than ever
before in its history. A terrific storm burst pre-
vious to midnight last night and with daylight
came a gale that swept over Raritan Bay al the
rate of hundred miles an hour. The tide rose
until the docks along the waterfront were sew
eral feet below the water. More than hundred
large sloops We're in Keypcrt Harbor, besides
large number of smaller craft. Owners of the
vessels stood upon the shore and were powerless
TO save their property, as the vessels dragged
their anchors and tore from their moorings.
The tide and wind swept oyster boats and
handsome sloops in wrecked mass on the shore
and meadows. The Golden Gate large sloop
owned by Captain William E. Woolley, of this
place was dashed on the shore here and crashed
through a large storehouse building owned by
Bauer & Hopkins. Many of the vessels. after
striking the docks and different obstacles, sunk
at the mouth of Matawan Creek. Twenty-six
sloops found their fate upon the sandy beach OF
Cliffwood shore.
From the mouth of Matawan Creek along the
Keyport shore. and on down the Raritan shore
as far as Sandy Hook the beach is strewn with
the wreckage of many vessels. Storehouses,
docks and lighthouses were lifted from their
foundations and carried away with the tide
Captain George NJ. Tilton, jr-, of this place, was
one of the heaviest losers. Two large sloops, the
William H Phillips and the Emma Jane, be-
longing him, were cast ashore and completely
wrecked. Two other sloops belonging to Tilton
washed ashore. but not badly damaged.
Thomas Browns dock at Lockport was almost
completely wrecked by the tide. Two handsome
sloops were dashed against Browns dock, and
now lie on the shore complete wrecks. SIX sloops
lie under water al the mouth of Mattawan Creek.
From the mouth of oyster Creek, looking up
Matawan Creek a dozen or more large sloops
be counted as they lie in wrecked condi-
ton on the beach and meadows. There are
hundreds of others who lost small craft Of all

MAN SWEPT A WAY WITH PIER
WATCHERS BY FIRE on SHORE POWER
LESS TO AID.
ALL NIGHT LONG, THEY HEARD HIS CRIES
FOR HELP, WHILE DEATH
CAME NEARER

Long Branch y. J. Nov. 24-One life was
lost in the wreck of the iron pier early this
morning by the tug Haddon- He was stran-
ger to the people here and came with party
Of men who walked out the end Of the pier TO
view the full rigged British ship Flottheck'
which had been driven ashore by the terrific
storm. He was at the extreme end of the pier
when the Haddon was forced through the CEN
tre He cried Justify for assistance. but was
told TO remain where he until dawn, wnen
he would be taken ashore. Soon after q O'Clock
this morning that part OF the pier on which the
unfortunate man stood was swept away by the
storm.
He was seen after daylight by those on shore,
but IL was impossible 10 reach him. He crled
pitifully for help all through the night He
seemed TO be terrified by the huge waves which
broke over the pier, and evidently realized that
his footing would be swept from him unless
help arrived soon. 1t was with great difficulty
that he clung to the piling. The waves dashed
against him with increasing force and when ne
was seen this morning he appeared TO be WeiI-
nigh exhausted.
1t was about 8 o'clock this morning when the
iroa pier broke in two The Haddon had con-
tinued to pound against it, and the piling and
superstructure were gradually weakened by the
fearful blows dealt them, until the tug finally
ploughed through the centre. Several men had
started out to the end OF the pier to see what
was going on All of those in the party were
not recognized by the officer on the pier All
had their coat collars turned UP. The man VINO
was swept away, and whose identity mas not
been established. walked out considerably IN
advance OF the others. The main body was led
by the policeman.
When about two hundred feet out from the
pavilion at the shore end the officer became
alarmed at the creaking ard swaylng or the
pier and called halt. a little further out the
wreck of the tug could be heard pounding
against the pier. While the listened in the
darkness there came ripping and tearing, and
realizing that the pier was giving way the men
fed for their lives : subsequent examination
showed that the tug had gone through the pier
and was floating down the coast
From the ocean end Of the pier a man could
be heard calling for help There was no way
of aiding him. the gap was fully nifty feet
across. Those on shore called TO him TO do the
best he could until morning. A big fire was
lighted the sands near the pier The man
was not considered to be in any great danger,
as once before iron pier had had the middle
torn out and the end stood Early this
morning another terrible crash was heard above
the roar OF the storm The end Of the pier had
been swept away, taking the man with 1t, and
only few piles remained 10 show where the
