hardest part of last w ednesday morning

to this conclusion by the fact that sbou
half mile below Bird's Point there Is &

torn up by the roots, the tops Of other

three feet through we're wrsnched ant
broken OF, some only four or i've feet an
others rs much - ten feet from tn
ground. In that locality the hurricAn
seems to have come from due south an
passed in y northsrly direction, lesvin
traces of its course Oh both sides of tn
river.
