TIE YACHTS IN GREAT PERIL.
A Storm Strikes the hook, Threatening Them
at One Tins With Destruction.
(By the Associated Press. J

10y the ASSOCldIeu 1IesS-J
New York Aug. 25.-A terrible north
west wind and electrical storm struck
Sandy Hook shortly after five o'clock to-
day and Shamrock III and 1, Reliance
and fleet of half dozen fine yachts,
including the Erie, c. Oliver Iselin's Sun
beam and the Herreshoff's Roamer, were
in great danger for a time. The yacht
Eureka breaking from her anchorage, was
blown violently against a coal scow and
carried before it. 1t seemed for a time
that the two boats would crash into Sham
rock III which lay almost in the path
of the gale. not a hundred yards away.
The Roamer, which was dangerously
near the Shamroeks, began to drag her
anchor and despite efforts to hold her,
drifted down rapidly. Suddenly she
swung against the Sunbeam. and thus
getting a chance to start her engines man
aged to escape from the danger line. The
Sunbeam, too, as the blow increased later,
again began to drag and in a moment
went with a loud crash against the scow
which also commenced to drift and for a
moment it looked as if Shamrock III
would be overwhelmed.
Reliance lay in position more out of
danger o.
The mornings of Shamrock III and Re-
lance held fast, though the wind threw
their bows around into the face of the
gale violently and they tugged hard at
their cables.
Sir Thomas Upton left the Erin before
the storm broke and. with Colonel Smith,
Colonel Burbank and Colonel Stewart,
commander of Fort Hancock, viewed the
havoc in the bay anxiously from the COM
manders headquarters on Sandy Hook.
Lightning flashed from the inky black
skv and the wind came like a cyclonic
blast. Weather observers here said it
reached a velocity of nearly 45 knots. The
sea, calm all day, was boiling furiously
in less than five minutes after the gale
struck small fishing sloop was blown
upon the sand beach at the point Of the
hook. Life savers went to the rescue
taking the crew of four off in safety The
sloop was later taken off.

fleet, the part of which is to be played
by about twenty-five vessels OF the North
Atlantic squadron, under Rear Admiral
Barker, was sighted off the coast this
morning Eight warships were visible
from the observatory off Segn.o. including
three battleships, three destroyers and
two tenders. AS soon Us the fleet was
sighted orders were sent to the various
forts to be in readiness for an attack
which was expected at midnight.
The news that the attack was expected
to occur at midnight frightened the spir-
its of the men who had had their ardor
dampened by the rain of the morning. The
final preparations were interfered with
to some extent but all except few minor
details had been completed.
The last few mines which block the en-
trance to Hussey's Sound were laid today
in line from Long Island to Diamond
Island This passage has been thoroughly
covered.
At lis, revealed by the searchlights, a
large vessel, evidently battleship. came
into range and was fired upon with one
round from Forts Williams and Levett,
and three rounds from Fort Mckinley.
The vessel returned the fire of both Fort
Williams and Fort Levett batteries.
The ship appeared to come in a short
distance and then stand off to point
opposite the two lights on the cape. The
general quarters were sounded at Fort
Preble, the fertilization farthest inside the
harbor, when the fire was opened from
the other forts.
At 1886 a. m the harbor near Fort Pre-
bic was filed with launches from the
fleet with landing. parties, and the troops
defending Fort Preble, the acknowledged
key TO the harbor defense, were firing
in force.
The harbor was filled with smoke at
80, and when the batteries were all en-
gagged the cannonading was deafening.
The smoke and thick weather made Il
almost impossible to observe the move
ments.
