Very Severe Blow Hit Shipping
Last Night
SOME VESSELS SENT ASHORE
Many Other Vessels Were Prevented
from Going Out, and Traffic Generally
Was Tied Up-Point Judith Life
Savers Were Busy.

Boston, Nov. 25.A gale swept thu
New England coast last night, keeping
many barge-towing tugs in the harbol
and delaying and tying up coastwise
shipping generally. A 25-mile wind
opened the day, increasing steadily un'
til at nightfall it was blowing sixty
miles an hour up and down the coast.
The wind was accompanied by heavy
fall of rain.
The Norwegian steamer Leyland, due
to sail for Baltimore, did not go out,
and such of the fishing feet and lighter
craft as were near the harbor speedily
made their way back.
Point Judith, r. l., Nov. 25.-The
barges Pioneer and Tornado were torn
loose from the tug Salutation inside or
Point Judith breakwater last night by
the sudden shifting of the wind and
hurled high upon the beach. The Point
Judith lifesavers shot lines out to both
vessels, but as the tide was filing it was
decided to wait until morning before
taking the crews off. AT low tide 1T was
thought there would be little water
around the barges, and the work OF get
ting the men off would then be COM
paratively easy.
When the vessels struck, the high seas
were washing over them. The tug made
hard fight to get the two barges out OF
trouble, but after a two hours battle
with the gale she was obliged to run for
shelter behind the breakwater when the
two lines parted.
The Salutation with her tow came out
from Newport, bound light for coal
port. The northeast gale and great seas
drove her in behind the Point Judith
breakwater While the vessels were an
chored here the gale swung suddenly
around into the southwest. The Saluta-
ton was unable to make any headway
with the barges, which were forced fur
ther III towards the breakers. until final
ly the lines broke and the light barges
pounded high upon the beach.
The life savers from Point Judith
were quickly on the scene with their APP
paratus and two well-directed shots sent
lines aboard both barges. The heavy ca
bles for the life buoys were run out to
the stranded vessels and made fast.
Then, when it was seen that the tide
was falling and the men on board were
in no immediate danger, it was decided
tc wait until morning, when the ship
wrecked crews would have little difficult !
ty in getting ashore. 1t was believed !
there were four men on the barges.
The life savers stood by all night.
Gloucester, Mass, Nov. 25.--Driven /
into port before the easterly gale, the
fishing schooner Rob Roy Of Gloucester
went ashore on the rocks off Fort Point
last night CAPTAIN King and a boats
crew from the Delivers Neck life saw
ing station went out to the schooner
and stood by for some hours. but their
assistance was not needed. The crew of
eighteen men were able to get ashore in
their own boats. Unless the weather
becomes too severe, it is believed the
vessel can be floated to-day. She was
laden with good catch of halibut.
