The Cromwell line steamer Knickerbocker, due here on Tuesday, arrived this morning alter a dangerous voyage, fco ncavy was the storm on Tuesday that many on hoard feared the vessel would founder. Several of the crew and passengers were injured by the careening of tho vessel, and everything movable on deck was carried away. Captain Kemblo said this morning that He saw many evidences of the 6torm in the Delaware breakwater. The water-there abouts was strewn with wreckage, and a dismantled and abandoned bark was seen. Nothing was seen of the derelict's crew, who had probably been taken off by a passing vessel. v rill a. ' luesieauitr x emassee. irom oacKsonviiie, Sept. 8. which arrived hero this morning. had continuous gales from the east and northeast, with tremendous seas during the entire passage. On Sept 12, off the Dela ware, she iell in with the bark Alsylva from Perth Amboy for Copenhagen, in a sinking condition. The steamer took off the captain and' crew of thirteen men and brought them to ew i ork. Storm-Wave Deluges of the Past. New York Tribune. The disasters resulting from this week's hurricane freshly illustrate the well-known fact that more damage is generally done by the water than by the wind in a cyclone. It is on low-lying coasts, sand-bars and islands, like the la.ce-work shores of New Jersey and Long island, the mud-flat on which New Orleans stands, tho sites of Galveston and Indianola, and the Hooghly and Ganges deltas of India that these might ocean storms wreak their faercest spite. Buildings on laud are unroofed and prostrated to some extent; and shipping out at sea is sadly tossed about, if not wrecked completely; yet these catastrophes are not comparable with the destruction of prop erty and loss of life due to the abnormal change of water level produced by a true cyclone. Uu little Lake rrie much milder blows have often banked up the water at Buffalo four feet above its usual height On so narrow a pond as Lake Michigan a rise of eight feet was caused, Dec. 4, 1SS5, along the Chicago front merely by the wind. But over the broad ocean the atmospheric vortex has a better chance to exert its power of suction. Thus, in the Hooghly estuary, in 1S&4, with a genuine typhoon in tne Indian ocean, tne tide rose sixteen and a half feet above ordinary high-water mark. And Maury credits the astonishing assertion that the historic cvclone of lTbO forced the gulf stream back to its source and dammed the Gulf ot Mexico to a level thirty lect nigner tnan tnat ox the ocean: so that on small tropical islands waves rolled over tho tree tons! Of the $5,000,000 lost in Galveston, Indianola and that vicinity in the August storm of 188(5, by far the greater share was chargeable to inundation. The obliteration of 5,000 or 10,000 human lives once or twice every year on the Ovissa coast by a Bengal typhoon is effected in the same way; while the still more appalling slaughter of 100,000 people in 1876 by the Backergunge cyclone resulted from a tidal deluge which Scott, the present head of the British Weather Service, sava rose in some places fully forty-five feet. Ruin at Sea Isle City. Sea Isle City, N. J., Sept. 13. The storm. which has demolished buildings, washed away railroad beds, destroyed bridges and beat down telegraph wires in a way never before experienced here, shows no signs of abatement The sea-wall, from which so much was expected on occasions like the present, has been washed away, except a small portion in front of the Continental Hotel. The sand piles jvhichi extended along the beach like a series of bulwarks are leveled by the heavy waves, and the board walk raised from its fastenings, dashed against tho buildings along the shore, broken up and carried to sea. JusJ south of the Continental Hotel, which has been propp(d up, a large gap was pointed out, whero a number of houses stood on Monday, which were carried away by the force of the waves. Many cottages belonging to wealthy people were destroyed. Tho Shakspearo House aud Struther's Hotel are wrecked, and the Methodjst and Catholic churches flooded to the first floors. Some of the bath-houses and excursion stations are gone. ' The railroad track which connects Sea Isle City with Ocean City, running from the northern part of the island, is broken about a mile and a half ontsfdo Carson's inlet, and bent like a horseshoe up into the meadows. The light-house at the north of tho islands is tilted, and has been abandoned by the keeper and his family, who were taken out of it from the upper floors by the life-saving corps. Tho old life-saving station was blown over and crnshed in the side of tho new station, which stood back of it The failure of the sea-wall to withstand the heavy surf is reSarded as partly the cause of so much amage. ; Only one man is missing George Sayers. It is related of him that duriug the height of the storm he saw his yacht in danger of going to sea. Ho jumped in to save it and was carried out into tho ocean, and has not been heard ot since.
