FIERCE STORMS ME
ON ATLANTIC OCEAN
AN ATLANTIC POUT. Sept. 20.
An arriving steamer r< ports terrific
hurricanes all the way from the
Kuropean to the Atlantic coast. Not
ore clay's fair weather was encount
ered.
This is supposed to indicate tin
beginning of the storm stust'ti.
This news is welcomed by shipp
ing men. The belief prevails that
mine on fire anil all sons oi' efforts
bare been made in vain to put it
out. It is believed someone smok
ing threw lighted tobacco among
some debris and dry coal dust and
this ignited the mine.
Across the rise whence this coal
is burning, the natives have located
another seam which is row supply
ing some in Anadir with coal.
They ar■* still trying to quench
the burning seam along the river.
