On Saturday and Sunday lad, w’e
had as violent a gale of wind as can lie
lecclletfted in the memory of the oldeft
iuhabiianr ; it began about noon on
Saturday, wiih the wind at N. E. and
continued twenty-four hours, during
vvliicii time it veered tp all the inter
mediate points between tlintand N. \V.
—I>s various fliU'tings, however, abated
nothing of its violence; as it feemed to
rage with equal force, from wliatever
c]uaner the wind came.
(Jur accounts from the adjacent coun
try, as far as they have yet come to
hand, are of the mod Jovibre complexion
—we hear from various quarters of the
general pi ofl ration of the corn, as well
as of great numbers of limber and fruit
trees; and even wliere the latter^ from
f'upeiior advantages of flielier or foil,
have been enabled towithdantl the rude
fl) itk, they have, for this year, been
almod totally deprived of their pro
duce, which until then proniifed to be
Jiighly abundant.
Some cf the vefiels in the harbour
broke from their moorings, drifted
down the i iver, and took the ground ;
others, at anclior, parted their cables
and drove on fhore—anti indeed few or
none efcaped without receiving more
or lefs damage.
Tiie floop Polly, captain Holmes,
from New York, for this port, b d her
mad and fails in the gale, and had an
almod miraculous efcape from being
totally lodon the Frying Pan flioals.—
By tbe aflidance of a jury mad, flie was
yedertlay enabled to come up the river.
The floop Sukey, captain Cudis, of
Yarmouth, from Befton, for this port,
was driven afhore on Bald Head, fiom
whence it is conjeiflurcd fhe will be got
off, without coiifidcrable damage.^
Although we w'ifli not to anticipate
bao news, w’e cannot avoid mentioning,
tlrat judicious feamen, well acquainted
with this coad, are app» ehenfive that
many fatal catadrophes mud inevitably
have happened on it in the above gale.
Agreeably to notice, the Whist ling

C APE TEAR LIGHT’ HOU.^E is fituatcd
near Bald Head, a noted blulTon Cape Fear
Ifland, at the moutli of Cape Fear River, oa
which river is built the town of Wilmington, in
North Carolina. The iron lantern is ten feet
i.lne inches in diameter, and al out fifteen feet
'*nlne inches in height, from the floor to the top
of the roof. It was GrH lighted on the night
of the 23d December 1794*
The light houfc bears W. N. W.—From the
point of the Cape four miles diHar.t; and N. WL
by N. from the extremity of the Frying Paa
Shoals, diHant eight leagues,
In failing from the Eajt-ivcrd, bring the light
to bear N. N. E. and then fleer in North, which
will carry a veflel clear off the flioal, and bring
her a fliort diHance to the weftward of the bar.
Olferve, hc^vever, if it is in tbe night, art to come
into lefs than feven fa.bsm wrtfr.—If there is a
neceffity of failing over the bar, ivitlout a pilot,
bring the houfe lo bear North, or N. half Eaft,
and fleer diredly in for it, until the vefi'cl is
cloft in sv th the’ beach, and then for the fort,
which bears from thence about North, and is
'plainly in fight.
T he channel over the bar is dlrctSk, and of a
good width.
It may be farther necelTary to obferve to
Hrangers, that in palling the flioal, efpecially
in a dark night, it is raoH prudent to fleer wefl,
in lat. 33, 20, or 25 at moft, until they flioa'
in their water to feven or tight fathoms. By
doing »hls, they may be fure of being to th«
weflwara of the bar.
