FULTON STANDS A SEVERE TEST.
Member * of the Crew Say They
Could" Endure Life Under the Water
for Months Eat Two Meals and
Sleep Aboard.
New York , Nov. 25. In the pros-
oil co of a largo crowd , despite the
Htorin , which gathered to witness the
oinurKlng of the Fulton , that boat
rciHo from the bottom of the bay at
10:30 : a. m. yesterday with all well and
greatly mirprlHod to find there wan a
Blonn ragliu ; The toHt of the Fill-
ton'H HtayhiK powers was highly BUI-
iHfactory , not only to the officers of
the company that built her , but to
thoHo who wont to the bottom In the
boat. They report there waa uot the
KhtoHt dlHcomfort to thorn during
tholr more than fifteen hours of HUM-
inorHlon beneath the mirfaco. Captnln
Cahlo of the Holland company , who Is
In command , nulil that the boat could
have remained down for three months
If thorp were food enough on board.
Although there was hut BX ! foot of
water over the top of the turret , those
on board foil nothing of the Htonn.
Through the night there wan a light
rolling motion to the craft , but thin
was ascribed to the regular motion of
the water and not to the disturbance
which was rolling the waves high on
the shore.
Immediately on coming to the sur
face the Fulton , niiclor her own power ,
ran alongside the clock and tlml up.
Hear Admiral Lowe nml Lieutenant
Arthur refused to go Into any
dlKciiHKloii of the performance of
the boat except to say they would bo
satisfied to Htay clown longer. They
are , however , Known to b"o enthusias
tic over the work of the Fulton thus
far. Members of the crew nay , they ex
perienced no difficulty In breathing
and that the air1 was all Unit could bo
doHlrod and mucb purer and better
than In an ordinary dotted o room In
'which are sovural persons. Every
piece of machinery worked tb perfec
tion during the night. The mien ate
two meals whllo under water and em
Joyed them Moat , of them obtained
thrco or four hours' sleep.
The exports present unite In calling
attention to the sea-going qualities of
the Fulton and the Adder as shown
during the gale which prevailed un
til night. Neither of the submarine
boats was affected by the sea or the
wind. Other boats of twice their ton
nage rolled and tossed so that they
had to get under way and seek a shel
tered harbor.
The longest time that any submar
ine boat had been under water hereto
fore In the United States was three
hours. Lieutenant Harry Collwell
kept the Holland submerged that long
In the Potomac last year. The Ful
ton had never boon under longer than
23 minutes , when she made a. two-mljo
run submerged a few weeks ago.

WRECKAGE STREWS THE 3HORE.
Terrific Storm Strikes Staten Island
and Extends Into the Metropolis-
New Jersey Shore Resorts Sub
merged Raises Tide.
Now York , Nov. 25. A heavy north
east gale , accompanied by heavy rain ,
raged along the coast yesterday. In
'the upper and lower bay the storm
blow with great fury. An unusually
high tlclo washed upon the Stateu Is
land shores , doing considerable clam-
ago to clocl'B , small boats and other
craft. A heavy sea raged in the upper
bay.Tho
The storm did considerable damage
In the city. Windows In the upper
part of the city wore blown In and
n few roofs taken off.
The effects of the storm are very
manifest at Brighton Beach and Coney
Island. Breakwaters and bathing pa-
vlllions , board walks and other accessories
series suffered iiiucH damage. Off
Manhattan Beach can be seen a cap
sized schooner. Whether her crow got
to shore safely or not cannot
be learned.
The full-rigged ship , Flottbek , which
vent ashore at Monmouth Beach dur
ing the gale , Is resting on the sands ,
apparently little the worse for her
experience and her crew are being
cared for by the life-savers.
The Tribune estimates the clamago
done by the storm on the northern
shore of Long Island to the Connecti
cut line at $350,000.
Shore Strewn With Wreckage.
Driven by the terrific northeast gale
tin highest tide ever kupwn along the
north shore of Long Island swept In
land , leaving a ribbon of wreckage
that girts the shore front from As
toria , in Long Island city , out to
Grccnport on the extreme end of the
Island. Thousands of dollars damage
was done. Docks , boat nml bathing
houses were wrecked and fleets of
yachts which had been drawn up In
supposed sal'o winter quarters were
lloated off by the high tide and left
stranded in many instances more than
Jialf a mile inland. Traffic was sus
pended on two branches of the Long
Island railroad.
Probably the greatest damage was
done at North Beach , where more
than $20,000 worth of clocks , pavilions
places of amusement and other prop
erty was destroyed.
Asbury Park Badly Damaged.
The storm struck Asbury Park , N.
J. , with more force than any In re
cent years. The wind during the
night attained a velocity of 70 miles
an hour and did much damage to cot
tages. The great waves rolled across
Ocean avenue and the surf rolled
across the beach and Into Wesley lake ,
overflowing it , something that never
occurred since Asbury Park was lo
cated. The water of the lake flooded
cellars and made the streets in that
vicinity almost impassable. The Me
tropolitan hotel , one of the largest at
Asbury Park , was swept of its roof
and the rain soaked down Into the
rooms , causing much damage. The
piazzas of the Hotel Strand were torn
off and the building considerably dam
aged. Trees have been stripped and
the streets littered with trees , , parts
of roots , verandas and shingles.
