Tide at Coney Island Surges and Hurts Beached Structures
The New York Tribune reports a high tide at Coney Island last evening reaching levels not seen since September 7, 1876. Bathing houses were removed or washed away, Endris and Vorhees pavilions wrecked, and a wide breach behind Cable’s and the Sea Beach depot formed. Engleman’s Ocean House escaped with fireworks signaling distress. Phosphorescence appeared along the shore as water receded. A separate Harpers Magazine piece recounts a Malaga fort encounter where a man claiming to be Jesus of Nazareth frightened a sergeant, then revealed himself as an incensed local gentleman, prompting a lesson on identification.
