FIVE LIVES LOST IN STORM
OySterman browns in Wicom-
leo River, Four Perish at
Swan Point.

Five lives are reported to have been
lost and much damage done to small
boats employed in the oyster industry
in the Wicomico river and other tribu-
taries of the Potomac near its mouth In
the big storm of Fright last. This in
formation was brought here by the OFF,
GERS of the steamer Capital City, which
arrived yesterday afternoon from isolated
sections along the Potomac in Maryland
and Virginia. The storm of Friday the
steamboat men say, was OF unusual Sc
verify, according to reports at the
wharves. and the Maryland shore is dot
ted with oyster longing and dredging
craft that were carried on the beach oy
the violence Of the wind.
Five Men Drown.
In the Wicomico river. an FISHERMAN,
Capt. Peter Williams, lost his life when
his boat capsized, and four men were
drowned by the sinking Of fattie near
Swan Point, Nd. The vessel and the
men aboard her were strangers and their
names not known. At last reports their
bodies had not been recovered.
So violent was the gale In the Wicomico
that a small wharf belonging to w. P.
Blackstone. located g. short distance
away from BushwoOd wharf. was literally
blown to pieces. the gale tearing the
pianks off the structure and carrying
small warehouse into the water.
The officers of the Capital City state
that the damage. done ON the Virginia
side of the river was comparatively light,
as vessels lying in Nomini and other trib-
utaries of the river were sheltered from
the gale.
Gale On Rappahannock.
Capt. Hart. master Of the Maryland.
Delaware and Virginia line steamer Mid
dlesex, at Baltimore from the Kappa
hammock river. reports the gale on that
waterway to have been very severe. To
save his steamer from being blown ashore
he made her fast to pier with all the
lines he had and remained there until
the gale moderated.
So far no news OF disaster to any Of
the fleet of boats that bring oysters to
this market has been received at the oys-
ter wharf. and 1t is thought probable they
