WRECK OF THE BARkENTINE
"PRiScILLA," AUG. 1S, 1899


The hurricane that wrecked the
Aaron Reppard, near Gull Shoal
Station August Is, 1899, did not
attain the full measure of its ter
rife power until August II. The
report of the Weather Bureau sig
nal station at Hatteras said that
on the morning of the 10th the wind
reached a velocity of SO miles an
hour, increasing thereafter until at
four o'clock on the morning of the
18th it was blowing at the rate of
20 miles. BY noon it had increased
to between "a and SO miles, while
at one pm. an occasional extreme
of more than 100 miles an hour
was recorded. The signal station
was disabled at about that time,
but the observer states that he
believes the regular movement of
the wind was not less than 100
miles an hour between three and
seven o'clock pm. of that day.
There were not more than four
houses in the vicinity into which
the tide did not rise to depth
ranging from one to four feet.
1t was near midnight of this day
when the barkentine Priscilla, Of
Baltimore, Maryland, was blown
ashore and broken to pieces, final
ly fetching up at four am. of the
18th about three miles south of
the Gull Shoal Station and only
about half a mile to the southwark
of the dismal remnants of the Rep
pard. The Priscilla was an Amer
lean vessel of SAB tons net regis
ter, commanded by Captain Ben
jamin E. Springsteen, owned in
Baltimore, and bound from that
port to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, lad
en- with a general cargo. She had
on board IA persons, IL of whom
comprised the officers and crew,
the two others being the captains
wife, Virginia, and his young son,
Elmer, IL years of age.
The Priscilla left Baltimore on
Saturday, the 18th of August, and
was towed down Chesapeake Bay
as far as the James River Chan
mel, where she came to anchor and
remained until Monday morning,
August IA, when she proceeded to
sea, passing out of the capes of
Virginia at six am. and standing
east under all sail, the wind be-
ing moderate from west-northwest
and hauling to the northward. At
noon Cape Henry bore 80 miles
west. At midnight the breeze was
registering 1920 inches, and the
weather was clear. By Tuesday
morning, the 18th, the wind had
shifted to the northeast, and the
sky was cloudy, with a light rain
falling. These conditions remain.
ed unchanged until about mid.
night, when the breeze hauled
east-northeast and increased to
much that the skysail and lib top
sail were taken in.
Took All Sails In
On the morning OF wednesday,
the 18th, the wind was blowing so
hard that all the light sails were
taken in, and by MONDAY it was
found necessary to furl the spank
er and upper topsail. The gale
soon became more violent and the
fOresail was hauled up and furled,
the lower top-sail clewed up but
blown away, and two reefs put in
to the mainsail, which was also
lost, as well as the main staysail
Then the captain hove to under
bare poles, heading southeast in
an east-northeast tempest, and
rapidly drifting to the south.
