when this barge was dashed ashore
the waves swept her decks clear of
rigging and chew. Capps plunged into
the surf. and after desperate struggles
brought all three men to land.
The three-mGsted schooner Nellie W.
Hewlett. Captain Green, lumber
laden, from Pensacola, is a total wreck
on the coast three miles from Dam
Neck Mills. The crew is safe.
The passenger steamer reported on
shore in a dangerous position was the
Old Dominion steamer Hamilton, from
New York. The Hamilton reached
Norfolk after a terrible experience IN
the gale. The steamer was not dam
aged to any great extent. but the suf-
fering of the passengers. particularly
those in the steerage, was heart-rend-
ing.
Locked in the bowels of the plung-
ing and lurching ship, these foreign
ers, men, women and children. became
panic-stricken, and their shrieks of
terror could be heard above the gale
Many of them were bruised by the
tossing of the boat, and three received
fractured limbs, aside from other
hurts.
Among the frst-class passengers the
fear of death in the storm was as
great as among those below. Life
preservers were worn constantly by
nearly every one, and some women be-
came hvstericaI and cOl1aDsed
A tour of the coast revealed scenes
of havoc in the path of the gale. At
Ocean View the immense pleasure
pier is a total wreck, and the damage
to the club houses, cottages and eX-
tensive bulkheads will run far into
the thousands The handsome new
home of the Hampton Roads Yacht
Club is one OF the worst sufferers, but
all along the bay shore the damage
is great At Cape Henry the bay and
ocean beach is covered with the wreck
age from small craft, and the man.
moth double-decked pavilion is badly
damaged. The loss at Virginia Beach
exceeds that of any other place here
abouts. The wide boardwalk, extend
ing for two miles along the ocean
front, is practically demolished, the
portions left standing being in such a
condition as to require rebuilding.
Cottages are partly unroOfed and
porches washed away by the sea that
threatened to engulf the entire resort.

Hundreds Homeless at Scranton.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 12 - Property
valued at almost s1,OOO.OOO was de-
stroyed and hundreds of families were
rendered homeless as a result of the
flood which visited this section. The
waters in some quarters are still ris-
ing, and the entire police and fire de-
partments are engaged in rescuing the
terror-stricllen people. Traffic on the
railroads is at a standstill. and it is
an utter impossibility to reach New

due to the washing away of railroad
tracks and Of bridges and the flooding
of cellars and of mines. The Della
ware and Hudson railroad is the heav-
lest sufferer in this respect.
