Wednesday, December 17, 1917: WIND 95 MILES AN HOUR MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO SHIPPING
The storms of last week were disastrous to shipping along the Atlantic seaboard, and those craft which pulled through experienced very trying times. Two Gloucester fishing vessel[s] came to grief. PETIPAS' schooner, Douglas Adams, was lost on the way to Bay of Islands. The s.s. Simcoe was abandoned off the Magdelene Islands. The Seal which attempted to go to her rescue had such a hard time of it that she too had to run for shelter, after shipping a number of huge seas and shifting part of her cargo. The Portia had to lay up at Channel. The Glencoe was some six days doing about thirty-six hours work. The s.s. Adrian Islin came near going ashore at Caplin Cove, lost her compass and sustained other damage so that she had to be towed to Sydney for repairs. Basha's schooner, Acadia, carried away her foresail and had to put into St. George's. Paul YOUNG'S schooner, Francis Willard, broke from the pier at St. George's and went ashore, where she now lies and is likely to become a total wreak. At Codroy, one man lost several barrels of flour and apples which were being landed by boat from the Seal. At Channel a small building was thrown by the force of the wind against the Public Building, which became somewhat damaged. Some vessels caught in the storms are yet unreported, and it is feared that some of them met with mishap. So far, however, we have not heard of any loss of life. At Port aux Basque the velocity of the wind was 95 miles an hour.
