Art. V. — Notice of a Hurricane that passed over New England 

 in September, 1815; by Noyes Darling, Esq. 



1. Some circumstances attending this remarkable storm, induced 

 me at the time, to make a collection and abstract of all the news- 

 paper accounts of it which I could find. I was enabled from my 

 situation, then in New York, to make the collection sufficiently 

 ample to present a pretty full view of the storm in the greater 

 part of its extent. Believing that the fruit of my labors may in- 

 terest and perhaps be useful to those who are engaged in the in- 

 vestigation of " Atlantic hurricanes," I am induced to offer it for 

 publication. 



1. Accounts of the Storm at Sea. 



2. Lat. 17° 54' N., Ion. 63° 10' W., Sept. 18. Schr. Phoenix, St. 

 Barts. Violent gale at that island on the 18th, which lasted thirty 

 hours, from N. W. — W. and S. Forty vessels driven ashore, 



3. Lat. 21° 18', Ion. 71° 5', Sept. 20. Ship William, Turks 

 Island. Violent hurricane at that island on the 20th from N. E. to 

 S. W. ; unroofed and blew down houses, &c. Lasted from morri' 

 ing to 4 P. M. 



4. Lat. 32°, Ion. 74° 50', Sept. 22. Schr. Return, experienced 

 a tremendous gale from S. E., which compelled us to cut away 

 foremast. About 4 P. M., very heavy sea struck her and carried 

 away bowsprit, bulwarks, &c. If the gale had not abated, she 

 must have gone down. Another account. — On Friday, 22d, Schr. 

 was in lat. 33°, Ion. 74° 55'. At 6 A. M., a gale commenced at 

 S. E., which continued with great violence till 7 in the evening. 

 At 3 P. M. cut away foremast. 



5. Lat. 32° 25', Ion. 70° 10', Sept. 22. Sloop Experiment, on 

 the morning of the 22d was upset, in a heavy gale from N. W.
