19.2. Cold wet snow storm, wind at NE and increasing.
There has been so much ice in and near the harbor
that Vessels could not pass and repass without difficulty.
At some times there has been due a number of
mails. Yesterday by the Mails, accounts from Liverpool
England announce the most tremendous and destructive
Hurricane ever know in that place before. The loss
of shipping of every description, together with many
lives and property immense made dreadful
destruction. -------------
Some additional remarks of the effects of the
Storm mentioned in page 4. ----------
Previous to the Storm, Smiths Point had made
out so far that a straight line drawn from
the end of the point to the end of Great Point
would leave Tuckernuck a considerable distance
to the southward of the line. But the storm has
cut it off so as to cause the point to become an
Island, and a considerable wide and deep channel
between. Whereas before the storm horses and cattle
passed with safety from Smiths Point
to and from Tuckernuck.
