strenuous career in this part of the country. Reports of the gale’s destruction began to come in Wednesday afternoon when a wreck was noted at Kennebunkport and from that time on there were hourly messages of damage by the gale. Wednesday night’s list was augmented Thursday with the grounding of the four- masted schooner ALICE M. COLBURN on West Chop at the entrance of Vineyard Haven and later came the news of the washing out of 100 feet of track of the Woods Hole branch of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. at Falmouth.
Numerous minor accident were disclosed when the sun broke through the clouds but it was a relief when word was received from Cape Cod that several vessels which were off that dangerous peninsula Wednesday night had succeeded in weathering it.
The local fishing fleet which was scattered about the bay Wednesday was still unreported at noon Thursday. * * * * *
Severe Storm on Coast Shipping has Suffered
A heavy rainstorm which swept over
New England Wednesday and Wednesday night caused more or less damage along the coast. The wind was from the northeast and amounted to a gale, the velocity on Cape Cod reaching 70 miles an hour.
Coasting vessels not in port had a
hard time. The three masted schooner JONATHAN SAWYER, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, bound for Saco, Maine, with coal, struck on Gott island off Kennebunkport and was wrecked. The crew of seven men reached the island in their boat after a hard struggle in the rough sea. The schooner was owned by B. Frank Neely of Dover, New Hampshire. She was valued at $7,000 and was not insured. The cargo, estimated of 560 tons of coal consigned to the Pepperell Mfg. Co., of Biddeford. It was valued at $2,000 and the loss is covered by insurance. A large vessel supposed to be a fi ve masted schooner, was blown dangerously near the breakers on Cape Cod at 5 p. m. She was warned by the Cahoon’s Hollow life savers and did not touch bottom. Half an hour later she was reported close to the bar near the highland station, but again escaped. It is though she was able to weather the cape and enter Massachusetts
bay. During the gale the upper part of the government wireless telegraph station at Highland Light was blown down. The apparatus was damaged and no messages can be handled until repairs are made. The schooner ANNIE R. LEWIS, bound from Lanesville for Vinalhaven, Maine, which put into Portsmouth for shelter, was fouled in the harbor by the barge DRAPER, from Philadelphia, and lost her foretopmast, fl ying jibboom and other headgear. While entering Portsmouth harbor, the schooner KOLON, Smith Amboy, New Jersey for Eastport, Maine, collided with the schooner LANIE COBB, bound from Jersey City for Calais, Maine. The KOLON had her after house smashed and was otherwise damaged. The COBB was not injured. An unusually high tide accompanied the gale and wharves and cellars at various seaports were fl ooded.
The blow particularly disarranged the telegraph service between Boston and Portland. In Newport trees and wires were blown down at several points. * * * * *

Manned Pumps for 24 Hours and Had Hard Row of 18 Hours – The ALICE M. COLBURN Ashore.
Capt. Bulmer and part of the crew of the schooner SUSAN STETSON, which sunk 50 miles southeast of Biddeford Pool Tuesday, passed through the city Wednesday afternoon en route to Bucksport. Capt.
