In _Helford_, a small Haven, not far from hence, there was a Tin Ship blown from her Anchors with only one Man, and two Boys on Board, without Anchor, Cable or Boat, and was forc'd out of the said Haven about 12-a-Clock at Night; the next Morning by 8-a-Clock, the Ship miraculously Run in between two Rocks in the _Isle of Wight_, where the Men and Goods were saved, but the Ship lost: Such a Run, in so short a time, is almost Incredible, it being near 80 Leagues in 8 hours time, I believe it to be very true, for the Master of the said Ship I know very well, and some that were concern'd in her Lading, which was Tin, &c. _From St._ Keaverne _Parish in_ Cornwall, _May_ 26. 1704. _Yours &c._ W.T. _Thus far our Letters_. It has been impossible to give an exact relation in the matter of publick Damage, either as to the particulars of what is remarkeable, or an Estimate of the general loss. The Abstract here given, as near as we could order it, is so well taken, that we have, _generally speaking_, something remarkable from every quarter of the Kingdom, to the South of the _Trent_. It has been observ'd, that tho' it blew a great Storm farther Northward, yet nothing so furious as this way. At _Hull_, indeed, as the Relation Expresses, it was violent, but even that violence was moderate, compar'd to the Stupendious fury with which all the Southern part of the Nation was Attack'd. When the Reader finds an Account here from _Milford-haven_ in _Wales_, and from _Helford_ in _Cornwall_ West, from _Yarmouth_ and _Deal_ in the East, from _Portsmouth_ in the South, and _Hull_ in the North, I am not to imagine him so weak as to suppose all the vast Interval had not the same, or proportion'd suffering, when you find one Letter from a Town, and two from a County, it is not to be supposed that was the whole damage in that County, but, on the contrary, that every Town in the County suffered the same thing in proportion; and it would have been endless to the Collector, and tiresom to the Reader, to have Enumerated all the Individuals of every County; 'twould be endless to tell the the Desolation in the Parks, Groves, and fine Walks of the Gentry, the general havock in the Orchards and Gardens among the Fruit Trees, especially in the Counties of _Devon_, _Somerset_, _Hereford_, _Gloucester_ and _Worcester_, where the making great quantities of Cyder and Perry, is the reason of numerous and large Orchards, among which, for several Miles together, there would be very few Trees left. In _Kent_ the Editor of this Book has seen several great Orchards, the Trees lying flat on the Ground, and perhaps one Tree standing in a place by it self, as a House might shelter it, perhaps none at all. So many Trees were every where blown cross the Road, that till the People were call'd to saw them off, and remove them, the ways were not passable.
