the wind attaining velocity of sixty
five miles an hour, accompanied by a
heavy rain, vessels rounding the cape
last night had an extremely hazardous
trip. The patrol at the Cahoon's Hol
low life-saving station reported at p.
m. large vessel very near the breakers,
but it was impossible to ascertain her
identity. Haitian hour later, the High
land station sighted fve-masted
schooner passing north very close to the
bar and this was probably the same
vessel which was sighted earlier from
Cahoon's Hollow.
The wind was blowing strong from the
northeast, but it was believed that the
schooner would be able to keep ofishore
and make Provincetown harbor. No
disasters to shipping have thus far been
reported.
In the course of the gale last night,
the topgallant mast Of the naval wire
less telegraph stations outfit was blown
down, carrying with it all the support
ing wires and putting the station out of
commission.
The wind guage at the weather bu.
reau station was also blown away. Just
before the accident happened, the gauge
