place of residence, not IA few were res
cued from buildings when they occu-
pied and which had iloated away dur
ing the storm,
Great numbers of persons sought
safety on hastily lashed RATS, which
weathered the storm for hours, but
finally were rent and the great ma
jority of their occupants drowned.

known, the town being filled with
strangers.
The search for bodies Is still going
on In almost every wrecked house,
and among the debris of almost every
ruin, bodies are found, eighteen just
now awaiting burial. Among the bod
