STORM IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA


was discovered to be leaked by
member of the crew, who awaken
ed all hands. Two feet of water
covered the dock on which they
landed.
A number of narrow escapes
were reported here, where the wind
reached a velocity of IS miles.
The damage at Kinston is now es-
timated at $4,000, the greatest loss
being sustained by the telephone
companies and the city electric
system. However the damage to
cotton in the county will be between
100000 and 100000 from 10 to
20 per cent. Corn and other crops
suffered in lesser degree. !;
Kinston Sept. Sat 7:30 o'clock
tonight, over the long distance tele-
phone wire from Beaufort, came the
assuring news Of the safety of the
thousand people at Ocracocoke and
Portsmouth, isolated places on the
strip of banks bordering on the sea
coast
Grave fears had been entertain ID
for twenty-four hours that these
places, which are located in the low
est place on coast many miles from
the main land, had been swept
awap by the storm and the tide
from Wednesdays gale, although
every reasonable doubt that the
settlements could stand the gale
was clunged to.
But because of the fact that in
1889 the tide from a lesser storm
did great damage there, with ten
feet of water in the streets of the
towns as far in as Washington and
New Bern, it was considered proba-
bly, that only the beach remained
vi the site OF these little towns.
Ocracoke is an historic and beau
) tiful spot. There the first white
: men from the Phillip and Amman
; da expeditions landed on the North
American mainland and it was the
scene Of pirate carousals. 1t is a
? days trip BY boat from Washington
or Beaufort.
