NEW YORK, Feb. 4. - The wind
storm which hogan Sunday afternoon
and which reached velocity of fifty
miles along the New Jersey and Long
Island coasts caused havoc to Ship
ping.
IwHnty-four men, the captain and
crew Of the full rugged American ship
j.. Schcpp, are battling for their lives
In the ley water Of the Atlantic off
Long Beach, N. Y.
For twenty-four hours have they
thus struggled to keep the timbers of
their craft together within sight of
their fellow men, unable to assist them
by reason of the furious gale that has
swept the coast.
Lifeline after lifeline has been fired
fired at the wrecked ship In whose rig
glng the half frozen men can be easily
discerned. Every time the missile fell
short. and the sea has been running SO
high for the last forty eight hours that
1t precluded all possibility Of launching
boat.
Reports from the south Jersey coast
and Delaware river points indicate that
vessels that were exposed to the gale
weathered the storm fairly well. Two
vessels are ashore on Rrigantine shoal,
a short distance north of Atlantic City,
N. j., and two steamers are reported
aground in Delaware bay about fifty
miles below Philadelphia. The British
steamer Claverdale, from Asiatic ports
for New York, which grounded on
Brigantne shoal, is still fast.
The schooner Edith l.. Allen, which
went ashore during the night on the
same shoal within a short distance of
the claverdaIe, Is also fast III the sand.
A dispatch from Halifax, N. s., says
thnt the storm was the widest in
Nova Scotia for years and that ship.
ping has suffered severely. 1t Is rough.
~ estimated that the damage to sail
ing vessels alone will reach $4,000 !

lively for few minutes, taking on a
political phase which proved particu.
