The November storm
was found to be the most disastrous tn
•he records, In point of lives lost and
property destroyed, at sea. Among the
remarkable storms recorded may be
mentioned the following: Nov. 17,
1798,“a heavy snowstorm began, last-
ing three days; Sept. 23, 181o, a gale
caused Immense destruction on land
and sea, the damage In Providence, R.
I., alone having been estimated at
85.000,000. In December, 1839, three
storms wrecked over 300 vessels on the
New England coast. On Oct. 2, 1841,
a storm did much harm to the fishing
fleet, 57 pers'-ns being lost from the
town of Truro, and many others along
the Cape Cod coast. On Oct. 7. 1849, a
bark went ashore on Minot's ledge and
143 persons were drowned, April 16,
1851, Minot's ledge light was carried
away, and great damage was done
along the coast. Jan. 17, 1867, a great
snowstorm caused large loss of life
around Boston, from people getting
lost In the drifts. A depth ot five feet
was reported from Dorchester. There
was a brief, but violent, storm Sept. 8
1869, that damaged trees lytd houses
around Boston. The “blizzard" of
March 12, 1888, effectually tied up the
railroads of New England for five days,
causing much suffering and depriva-
tion from people caught away from
home in depots and stalled trains, that
were all but inaccessible to help from
the outside for three days. The storm
of Jan. 31, 1.898, shut out Boston from
communication with the outside world
for two days and impeded travel for
five days, but caused *-> great loss of
life. The storm of Nov. 27.
wrecked 141 -vessels along the
England coast, and 455 persons
their lives, Including 175 persons (esti-
mated) from the Portland, which was
lost with all on board. There was
great destruction of properly along
the shore from the high tide acting
with the gale, and a remarkable feat-
ure was the great fall of snow so early
in the year. The graphical records of
the storm elements, whl<h form a
large and the most valuable part of
Mr. Sweetland’s paper, show, aside
from data on the direction, which af-
fects speculation on the site of the
Portland’s destruction, a record of un-
usually long-sustained high velocities
of wind. From soon after midnight
on the morning of the 2Tth till 3 p. m.
the wind was never below 45 miles an
hour, and from 4 a. m. to 1 p. m. it
was over 50 miles an hour. It blew
55 miles an hour and over from 5 a. m.
