Lake Disaster

Lake Disaster-- The severe wind of Wednesday night and Thursday of last week, caused some damage to the shipping of Lake Ontario, but as yet we have not heard of the loss of any lives. On Thursday morning the lake was exceedingly rough and the few schooner which were out the night previous and made our port on that morning were somewhat “tattered and torn.” The schooner Baltimore and President were driven ashore at or near Stony Point-- the former sustaining but little damage and the latter not materially injured. These are all of the well authenticated types of damage and which have come to our knowledge, although similar disasters may have happened at other points of the lake

It will be noticed from an article in another column from the Buffalo Republican, that Lake Erie was visited at the same time with a tremendous gale, which was in the vicinity of Buffalo, has already proved very calamitous in the destruction of both lives and property.
