Several months ago some enterprising
citizens of Mississippi City and Biloxi es,
tablished farm and stock range on the
Ghandeleur Islands, at a place called
Aolly's Woods. They fenced in large area
of fertile land, cultivated it we'll. and
planted considerable portion of it in
watermelons for the early New Orleans
market. But the gale of June 4 broke up
all their plans, and drove them from their
scene Of operations. On that day the
waters, driven in by southeast gale, rose
to such height and sweeps over the low
island with such resistless fury that their
farm was completely destreyed-washed
away and cut up into bayous and inlets,
while their stock had barely time TO save
themselves by taking refuge on some higher
ridge of land. Sadly and reluctantly these
People abandoned their lonely island
