St Augustine Press: The topic of cOnversa-
tiOn on our streets last Sunday afternoon and
night was the remarkable high tides which
visited our haro0r. Inc Wlnd grove the
water far beyond the mark OF high water
limit. The street around Nedder's curiosity
store was entirely covered, and pedestrians
were obliged to reach Bay street and the sea
wall by going through Treasury Lane and
Cuna street. The salt water forced back the
artesian water from NailPs well to
such a pressure that little arteslan
wells burst forth from the street surface
and also near the foundation of the St.
Augustine Hotel. Several Of our citizens
residing on the edge of the marsh were obliged
to lay planks and call carriages to bring
them TO their place OF business. The cause
way was in most portions well covered with
the salt water, which obliged foot passengers
to New Augustine to carry their shoes and
stockings under their arms for good part OF
the way. At RavenswOOd the tide was so
high as to carry away a portion OF the large
bridge leading to the Whitney residence, and
the embankment from the smaller one. The
strong wind caused swinging signs to creak
and sway, and weak fences were made to tot
ter ami fall. The air at times assumed
chilly degree and during the nights,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, our
Inhabitants brought forth extra bed covering.
After the tide had receded the remains OF
huge shark was found lying, with other rub
blsh, on the causeway. The two saw mills
were obliged TO shut down, as the extreme
high tide, so we are informed, eXtinguished
the fires. On Tuesday the wind had abated
TO much more agreeable breeze, and the
steamer Seth Low, which tOwed the dredge
boat Chester from Jacksonville to our port on
Saturday, and had gone around to the st. Sc
hastian river on account of the strong wind,
came back and anchored at quarantine. await
Taken altogether, things were lively and
bracing.
