The Havana and Gleniffer in the gale

Port Colborne, Nov. 8. About 11 o'clock Saturday night the severest gale of this season struck this place. The wind was from the S. W. Fences were blown down, trees broken and shingles scattered in every direction. Many of the citizens remained up all night, fearing that their houses would be blown down. About 2 o'clock Sunday morning the schooner Havana with great difficulty reached the harbor. The captain says the water deluge his vessel and he was obliged to cut away her bulwarks. Two of his men gave up in despair, took to the cabins and freely indulged their grief in the old stereotyped style.. The other men stuck to their posts nobly. One of the vessel's davits was carried away opposite Grand River, and they were obliged to cut the other and let the small boat go. The schooner Gleniffer came to anchor off here yesterday morning, the sea running so high she dared not attempt to come in and the tug could not venture out to her. She rolled and tossed terribly and drifted further down the lake, it was feared she would drift ashore, but as she got in shallower water her anchors held her. She was towed in here this afternoon and began to unload at once, as she was leaking badly. She lost her small boat, fortopmast one anchor and chain, jibboom rudder and all her sails. She was bound from Toledo with corn for Kingston. Her crew were pretty well used up when they got here The barge John T. Sherman was towed in here this morning full of water, having broken loose from her tow when abreast of Long Point. A tug was gone to Buffalo for a steam pump for her. The Schr. Cavalier arrived this morning having lost three sails and her rudder.

What Capt. George Reports is the Zealand Lost?

The schooner Mary Taylor, Capt.. E. George of Brighton arrived from Brighton to-day, having started for his port yesterday morning, with southerly wind; between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Capt. George says when about 15 miles southwest of Point Peter, the crew discovered a lot of white lumps about as large as a man's hat floating on the water; running close to these objects he found them to be lumps of flour; next he discovered several flour barrels, drifting about; he manned his boat Capt. Sherwood and two others getting into it and they rowed away from the vessel a considerable distance to see what they could find. They saw a yawl boat, marked "Zealand," bottom side up with a hole stove in the port quarter, but as it was growing late they did not pick up the boat. But taking one of the empty flour barrels aboard they continued on to Oswego all hands concluding that the Zealand had gone. She was a good boat" said Capt. George to our reported."and her master Ned Zealand, was a good man on a deck; he passed through many a bad storm and always came out right side up. But I'm afraid this one was too much for him; it was a terrible one. I have sailed for over thirty yeas, but this storm beats anything I ever saw." The barrel aboard of the Taylor was empty and had only one head. It was branded in blue as follows: Garden City, Superior XXX, T. W. Tyson and Sons . 196 Clarksburg" Following is the Zealand's register: Tonnage 284 built Hamilton by A.M. Robertson in November 1874; owned by E. Zealand of Hamilton; valued at $26,000 classed A 11/2. She was rebuilt from the bottom of the propellor Chatham. The Zealand left Toronto Saturday evening for Montreal. At Toronto it was thought she was probably down as far as Port Hope when the gale struck her, and no anxiety was felt she being a staunch vessel.

A Toronto Special at 4 p.m. today says nothing definite can be learned about the prop. Zealand. Her cargo consists of 12,000 bushels of wheat and 360 barrels of flour. Insured in the Manhattan and Greenwich, New York for $14,000.

Special despatch to the Palladium.

Consecon. Ont. Nov. 9 The schooner Bell Sheridan of Toronto went ashore on Weller's beach, two miles from here, at 9 o'clock Sunday Morning, and all on board perished except one. The vessel is a total wreck. Scarcely a vestige of her is to be seen. The only survivor is James McSherry who saved his life by securing a plank and jumping overboard, and was rescued by a boat from shore in a very exhausted condition. He gives the following particulars: The vessel left Charlotte at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, bound for Toronto, loaded with coal, and was within one hours run of Toronto when the squall struck her from the southwest. She then put about and ran down the lake before the wind and tried to make Presque Isle, but failed and was driven shore. In a few minutes after the squall struck her the greater portion of her canvas was carried away and the main boom broken. At 8 o'clock her main topmast was carried away and she became almost unmanageable. The lost are James McSherry sr. Captain; John Hamilton, mate, John McSherry, Thomas McSherry, Edward McSherry and Samuel Boyd. All of Toronto. Father and three sons were among those drowned. Over one hundred people were standing on the beach and saw the poor fellows drown, but were unable to render any assistance. Five attempts were made from the shore to rescue them, the boat capsizing once and nearly drowning the fellows who were plucky enough to risk their lives to save the sufferers. Had there been a life-boat or some means for saving life, the crew could have been all rescued.

The schr. Belle Sheridan tonnage 200 built at Oswego by A. Miller in 1852 owned by Charles Davis hailed from Oswego and did not class.
