News reaches us f torn all pciuts .along the North Carolina coast of the' most 'fearful havoc caused by the storm of last week. The most disastrous to human, life comes from Morehead City, where fourteen fishermen were drowned, itll of theni married men and men of families; their names were; ' kildy smith!, john smith, elijah smith. Wallace smith. All of these were brothers. JOHtf STYP.QN. L JAMES Yl. ELLIS. HENRY WILLIS. !lOE LEWIS. johnIewis. joe salter, john salter, kilby rose. " b art salter. . william' salter. In the same neigh borhgod theje Jvere, also several hundred ponies, heep and cattle pastured on the banks, which were overflowed and drowned. This is said to be the worst storm since the Atlantic Hotel at Beaufort, was washed away, just twenty years ago to a day. From Ocraeoke cpmes the news that thirty-three houses were de stroyed, seven chimneys gone, two phurches wrecked and two souls furled into eternity. The Schqpner 'fj'.A. Willis with a prty of pleasure seekers from Wash ington, while anchored near that place, parted two anchor chains, cau sing her fo drift to the inlet, landing about three miles from where she originally was, and where she filled with sand and water and sank in such a position that only a part of her masts could be seen by the crew of the life-saying station. This was pn Friday Saturday morning a distress sic lial was Eeon flying from her mast. Assistance was immediately rendered jsy tho life-saying station and A. S. . Kelley, John Ross, passengers, and paptain Griffin and mate, Benjamin Griffin, were taken off the ill fated Vessel and carried to the hotel Pon der, where everything was done for them tha could be done, but two were missing. The rest of the party of the Willis fortunately were at a mill house when the storm bein and would havo bepu on her and perhaps met their death had the V'ind not frustrated their efforts. , ' The twc. lost were a Mr. Buek ' niau, an aged and highly esteemed .'citizen of Washington, who on ac count of the weakness of old age, could not hold to the rijr;insc loner, and was soon swept away. The other, onp Ienry Blago, colored, the cock, died from exhaustion du ring the day t'fnd his body was washed overboard. The xjnfortunates o) tp Schooner Willis yent without food and water fora Wenesdijy until Saturday nnnn. Captain F. C. Tuthill, of the rUriQth, lfe saving station, re ports the following wrecks : Schooner . ,(r"?J PVcr in the bight at Eoyul VUlii.it ..I .... . .. . shoals, crew missing ; Norfolk and Southern boat ashore on Hog Island; schooner L. A. Willis, Captain 1. ,S. Griffin, ot Washington, N. C, wrecked near Ocraeoke inlet, two men lost, four $avedbv men from tle Portsmouth life saving station ; sloop Helen Eoxie, Captain Kelly, ashore on tho,bcach ; schooner ashore i pn Harbor Island, name unknown, as the crew from the life saving station have not rescued them ; steamer Nanso of N. and S. K. 11. CJo , ashore at the mouth of the harbor in about three feet of water. Out of twenty fishermen on Swan Island fourteen were lost; North west Point lighthouse was damaged and lost one boat and provisions. Portsmouth suffered like Ocraeoke and had houses blown down and horses and cattle drowned. It is also reported .that a new inlet has openeu on coka with in it. the north side of Ocra about four feet of water Norfolk, Va., Aug. 22. Another chapter in the history of the horrors of the ssa was added by the recent hurricane which dealt death and de struction in Porto llico and appa rently lost none of its' fury by reason of its i'isi't to the Atlantic Coast. No such damaging result has attend ed a storm in the past quarter of century, and the stretch of beach from Kinnakeet to Ilatteras, N. C, adistanco .of about eighteen miles, bears evidence of the fury of the gale in tli.b shape of spars, masts and general wi'eckage of five schooners while now and again a body washes ashore to lend solemnitv to the scene. .The storm was long in reaching Nor folk, but i,t lost none of its dramatic interest by' reason "of the delay. Waves mountain high, seas which by reason ot tneir power earned every thing before them, winds which blew unceasingly '.dav and night at a 75- mile velocity were the causes ot the disasters and that not more lives were lost is considered by 'many sur vivors nothing less than a miracle. Thirty-five shipwrecked seamen who had nothing in tho world but the few tattered and torn clothes on their backs, some injured, all miser able, arrived here to-day from Ilat teras, N. C, by 'way of the Norfolk and Southern Eailroad from Eliza beth Citvl It is from them that the fearful story was learned. They re port no less than eleven vessels ashore on the coast between Hatteras and New River Inlet, and estimate that no less man tijirty lives were lost. Among those who arrived today are ten of the crew of the barkentiue Priscilla, Captain Benjamin R. Snriniistine. of Baltimore, which vessel lies broken' ;u Jthree pieces on Gull Shoals, eighteen miles north of Cape Hatteras. There'were four fa talities shortly after the Priscilla went ashore, the captain's wife being- washed overboard and drowned with in ten minutes from the time the bark tstruck. The others who lost their" lives ' were the captain's two sons, aged and 12 years, respec tively, Goldenborough, connected in the Lee family and a relative of one of the vessel s owners, U. Morton Stewart & Company. The older of the Springstein boys was first mate pf the Priscilla. He and the Gold enborough lad were washed over board. His brother was drowned in the cabin. Alexander Von Eestorff, onfi'pj! the crewwas caught in the cabin and while holding on to a window to prevent being drowned, a heavy sea came, which resulted in the dislocation of his arm. Seeing that death was certain if he remained longer in the cabin, Von lies tori! leaped through the cabin window and landed on deck. He was atten ded to tpday at the office of tho Ma rine Hospital Surgeon, in the Nor folk custo m 'house. Captain Spring stein escaped from the wreck with the remainder of his crev, but he is still at Hatteras, suffering from a wound in "his breast, which 'is said to be three inches 111 depth. The captain is fifty-four years ot age. The Priscilla left Baltimore for llio Janeiro, Brazil, on Saturday, the 12th instant, with 'a general cargo. She passed out the Capes on' Monday, the 11th, and it was 0 p. m. Thurs day when she struck. ' .All of the vessel's crevv' were injured more or less. The schooner Robert W. Daxey, Captain Olseti, left Philadelphia August 14th for Jacksonville, Fla., with coal. She was partially washed away as soon a.? she struck the beach, wnch was Thursday. about G o clock p. m. The crew of six were all saved by the brcpehes buoy. The schooner Florence Randall, Captain Cavalier, was bound from Long Island to 'Charleston, S. C. with firtilizers. fcjhe struck at 5:15 p. m. on Wednesday and was soon Washed to pieces.' The crew of ten, as well as I the 'captain's wife, were respued by ihe brecphes buoy. The cchyoner Minnie Bergen, Cap tain Bowman, sailed Wednesday from Philadelphia, bound for Neu vitas, Cubfa, with iron, coal iwid coal oil. She anchored on Thursday imd slipped her cable Friday morning. She lost eevVjal sails and struck at .a. , tn. oni Friday. .Her crew of ten men were rescued by life savers with the breeches buoy. All of the men who came here were taken in charge by local, sea faring men and sent to Baltimore in the afternoon. His Life Was Saved. Mr, J. E.
