There came on a blow last night & continued fearfully until this evening. The waves were rolling high, and the weak stomachs got sick- and there were no vessels came across the swash. We have been out of water for two days, a boat started for some this morning in the storm - & this evening a tug came alongside & put water on board. This is about all that happened. The storm kept off all communication with us. We have a dead man - Geo Schaffer Co. [G?]. an old man, who had been in the War of 1812 - never had been sick - I saw his box - plain wooden [though] his name cut in and [tarred?] - [????] on it. The [?] them on the sand beach, nothing [?] [mask?] them with a prospect of their being strewn out or washed out. This evening, the wind lulled - waves gone down, and stomachs righted.
