coast, from Cape Henry to Dam Neck Mills,
twelve miles south, is strewn with the
wreckage of several Inflated craft tonight
All communication with the seaboard is cut
off, but it is known that three vessels have
been wrecked and several lives lost.
The last train from the coast arrived at
Norfolk tonight and brought many ref
ugees. They reported a large flve-masted
schooner in the surf between Virginia Beach
and Cape Henry and near her big passen-
ger steamer was fighting a battle with the
northeast gale that was blowing her
towards the breakers. The wind at the
Cape is over seventy miles an hour and the
surf is piling over the sand hills and back
into the mainland.
At the Norfolk navy yard the cruiser
Olympia is in drydock with her bottom
plates removed. AT high tide this morning
the water was six inches from the top of
the caisson. The change of wind to the
north will make the flood tide at midnight
much higher and fears are felt for the
cruisers safety.
