seemed to descend upon Perth Amboy
in a moment. At one time it was
blowing so hard that owners could
not walk against it. Longshoremen
made efforts to reach their boats, but
in some cases these smaller crafts were
swamped before they could get into
them. Captain IIidtle's float was lined
with all kinds of the smaller crafts
and only a few of these escaped.
Most of them are at the bottom. The
boatmen worked hard through it all.
With clothing soaked they pushed and
hauled while the rain came down in
such torrents that they could mot see
fifty feet away. 1t was necessary for
the men to seek shelter to get breath
and those who were near enough
would get change of clothing only
to go at it again.
1t was battle royal with the ele-
: ments. Man seemed to be trying to
overcome the king of the storm. The
wind whistled and whirled, even
picking up small pieces of wood and
twirling them around like feathers.
Through the mist and rain, boats
could be seen drifting, crashing into
one another and going to pieces, but
man stood on the shore helpless. For
the time being the storm king was IN
|, control All the men could do, as they
Deered through the sheets of rain, was
to point at different objects, a glimpse
of which they could catch OCCASION
ally. They could not hear each others
voices, no matter how close, for the
bowling of the tempest.
AS one boat after the other, would
come ashore the men i'll their oilskins
would rush out and endeavor to pre-
vent their being completely smashed.
1t was a wild scene and one that will
n OF soon be forgotten.
Meantime several of the boat own
ers had reached their crafts after
hard struggle and several had narrow
escapes from being drowned.
James Noes sloop Gordon sank
about 100 yards off shore. Mr.. Noe
and Charles Foster were aboard of her
at the time. They saved their lives
by clinging to wreckage. Mr.. Foster
was picked up by boat and Mr.. Noe
f1oated ashore on the wreckage. They
were in the water more than half an
hour. The Gordon is one of the finest
sloops in this harbor> and when the
storm broke she was in a dangerous
position and the anchor began to drag.
The sloop drifted ashore and was car
ried heavily against Noes dock,
damaging her greatly. She then was
carried out again and it was then that
DR.. G. W. Tryrell's s beautiful launch
Rosa, which was built this season, is

street and when the extent of the gale
was realized, DR.. Tyrrell and Mr..
Petz hurried to the water front to
make her fast. The launch was then
drifting. All their effolts could not
keep her off the dock in front of ].
Bloomfield Miller's residence. The
waves lifted her high and the bow
crashed down on the piling, smashing
the timber into kindling.
When the boat struck, Mr.. Petz en-
deavored to catch a line. He was
standing on the dock at the time. He
caught the rope and was Immediately
jerked overheard. The angry sea
seemed to swallow him. but he appear
ed again only to BIZ dashed against the
dock himself With DR.. Tyrrell's
assistance he managed to crawl on the
dock and was taken ashore. Mean
time the Rosa continued to batter her
self to pieces. There was no insur-
ance on the craft and all is a total
loss.
While this was going on the rain
continued in torrents and the gale
seemed to increase to hurricane. 1t
blew the sand and rain into the faces
of the men, almost binding them. 1t
was about 12 O'Clock when the storm
showed signs of abating. 1t had then
been raging in all its fury for about
three hours. By 1890 the wind had
died ont considerably, the rain ceased,
except for a mist, and people came
forth to view the ruins. 1t was u
CHASTITY sight.
Among the boats sunk were Mr..
Beicher's boat Kismet; the sloop
Alfred King; Nathaniel Pierce's S
launch Jeanette; large sloop just off
Gray's railway; DR.. H. M. Braces
launch Racquette; August Rossi s
sloop Susie was washed up to the rail
road bridge where she sank. Nelson
Macan s boat Lizzie; Miss Mercer S
sail skiff, Harry Wight's launch Mar
garet; W. R. Files sloop; L. @. N.
Brogger's sloop, and Mr.. Warnings
sloop.
Among those washed ashore and
damaged are the sloops Dorothy,
Addie Watts, and General
Putnam.
A large steamer was blown up the
lower bay and is on the shoals off Sea
Breeze. A fine large sloop yacht on
her beam ends floated up the sound
during the storm.
Oyster floats belonging to Isaac
Farroat and Charles Bloodgood were
washed ashore and the owners will
each lose over fifty bushels of oysters.
Several boats were blown over from
during the worst of the storm
and a strange craft, believed by some
to have come from Sandy Hook, has
also been picked up.
The storm which swept over the
coast of Florida few days ago, and
did so much damage, struck this city
about O'Clock this morning. Early
in the morning when the people left
home for their work most of them
came out prepared for an ordinary
storm, for the sky was overcast and
the gloom everywhere easily foretold
of rain.
At 8 O'Clock it commenced, with
only q slight drizzle. At 10 O'Clock it
had reached almost hurricane.
The storm increased in violence at
every moment and before noon great
damage had been done all over the
city. Huge trees were laid low and
signs in the business section were
blown down.
Before 10 O'Clock the cars of the
Raritan Traction company could not
run on schedule time. So quickly did
the storm increase that summer cars

MENU OF The
WAlLUKU LUAl

The luau committee have preserved
all the data and the finance committee
all the vouchers concerning the luau, a
study of which will be of much inter-
est to those who wish to give luaus
in the future. The total expenses M
the luau and reception were few
dollars short of $500, of which about
$3.50 were luau expenses. Arrangements
were made to feed 500 people. Two
bullocks, six grown pigs, four dozen
chickens. six barrels of poi, five ba'-
rels of beer, ten cases of soda water,
seven bags of potatoes, two bags OF
luau, besides opae, opihi, loli. kukui'
ETC., in corresponding quantities con-
stituted the menu. Two large linus
were built, which consumed one and
a half cords of wood. $50 laulaus and
one whole pig were cooked in the linus.
The labor bill alone for preparing the
luau was s63, which included the dec
grafton of the schoolhouse. This might
seem large sum to those inexperi-
enced. but as a matter Of fact twenty
men were kept busy for two days, be-
sides the extra days and night work
and it is a safe proposition that every
man jack of them richly earned his
dollar n day.-Maui News.

GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.

The Republican Territorial Commit
tee is scarcely fortunate in having
volunteer advisers whose recent ex-
perience in politics-whose current ex-
perience, in fact-has been gained in
giving advice and comfort to the enc
my. Several gentlemen OF this ilk call
ed at headquarters yesterday and petit
toned the committee to do precisely
do and what it has no intention of
avoiding 1t was their desire, however,
to be conspicuous in the party some of
them have never hesitated to betray,
possibly as a means of adding to their
prestige among the Home Rulers whose
interests they looked out for in the Leg
islature by directing the anti-Repub-
lican policy of the Kumalae-Aylett
crowd-an outfit which, as Charles Not
ley inadvertently said, was accustomed
to attend conferences during the session
at Home Rule headquarters.
People who are consulted by the
Home Rulers at every move OF the
political game-or who hasten to proffer
their services to them-belong outside
the headquarters of the Republican
Territorial Committee. They also be-
long outside the party. 1t is the mis-
fortune Of the Republican organization
here to be permeated with treachery'
to be made vehicle with which its bit
terest enemies are carried to power.
Much of this is due, of course, to the
wide-open primary system, but enough
accrues from the Willingness of the
party managers to accept doubtful ad-
visers, leaders and candidates to make
drastic reform quite feasible.
In drawing up its plans of campaign
the Republican Executive Committee
will do well to keep its own counsel.
Nothing could be more dangerous than
to receive political advice from, or eN-
change political secrets with, the allies
OF the enemy.
