GALE SWEPT COAST.
Havoc Wrought by Storm In English Channel
Many Wrecks Reported.
London, Dec. 31. Thero has boon n
recurrence of storms and violent gales
in the channel, and considerable dam
ago has been wrought nshoro. Tele
graph lines are down in many places.
Vessels aro seoking shelter iu tlio har
bors, and n number of wrecks have
been announced. The gnlo is so furi
ous in the channel that tho Continental
services wero suspended this evening.
Wales is said to have suffered the
worst effect of the gale, both on land
and sea, but everywhere the telegraph
wires are much disorganized, and ro
ports are therefore incomplete. Con
siderable damage to property iulund
is certain to bo reported. Somo 50
barges and sailing oraft broke from
their moorings iu tho Thames alone.

tug with a lifeboat to assist what was
reported to bo a large steamer in dis
tress in the channel.
Incessant reports of innumerable
shipping casualties show that tlio gale
was one of the worst known in many
years. Probably sevoral days will
elapse belore the full damage becomes
known.
In addition to some vessels not yet
identfied, several have been wrecked or
placed in great danger, the fate of some
of the cross-channel steamers being in
doubt. For instance, the Great West
ern Railway Company's steamer, ply
ing between Milford and Waterford,
is 12 hours overdue, and no tidings of
her nave been received. It would be
impossible to enumerate nil tho minor
casualties.
