wrecks of houses, wharves, furniture
and trunks floating. The outer light
house at Pass Cavallo stands. On Point
Matagorda island one house remains.
All those in Saluria, on the East END,
are gone. On the opposite side stands
the remnant of Captain DeCroW's
house; the family were all drowned.
At Saluvia not ii vestage remains ID
mark where Captain Nichols, Dr.
Leak, Captain Hilland the Humphrey
brothers resided. The two iron frame
light houses with their occupants were
washed away.
d At Indianola the ruin and devasta-
ton wrought could be seen in the
houses broken down and piled one up
on another notably amongwhich was
the wreck of the Episcopal Church,
lying immediately OF the bank OF the
bayou. This church, before the storm.
