A painful impression was created
throughout the city yesterday when the
full extent of the Lake Gervais cyclone
became fully known. The edition of
the GLOBE containing the fullest ac-
count of the disaster was quickly
bought up, and by 9 o'clock there
was not a copy of the paper to
be purchased, and the keen feeling
which was manifested exhibited itself
by the hundreds of people who jour
neyed to the lake to view the scene of
the tragedy. During the afternoon the
lake shore was alive with people.
There were plenty of onlookers and
only too few workers. The work of
searching for the dead bodies was most
painstaking. The major portion of the
day was spent in searching the lake. 1t
was thought that the bodies of Mrs.
Schumacher, Charles Schurmeier and
Rev. M. Pfaefle had been blown
into the lake. Up to Z o'clock
none of the bodies had been discovered,
Notwithstanding vigorous investiga-
tion among the debris of the cottages.

Indescribable Devastation Wrought Upon the

Many of the Farmers Have Lost Their All, Even
the Prospect Of Crop, and Are in

Capt. Hanft has charge of the search
ing party, and he proposes to-day to
have the immediate field thoroughly
searched by large band of men.
There is probability that the bodies
may be found a hundred yards
west of the lake, among some
brushwOod or in one of the many corn
fields which abound, Every attention
is being paid the injured people. With
the exception of Joe Brennart, all the
injured people tbatspent Sunday night
at Lake Kohlman have been removed
to their homes in st. Paul, and
with one exception they are all
doing we'll. The exception in this re-
spect IS Miss Minnie Meis. The worst
is feared respecting her. The Mullan-
Gins, who were reported missing, have
been found. They had taken refuge in
the cottage of neighbor. A son of
Mrs. Mullancin was removed to
the city hospital during the day. He
was awfully cut and bruised. and DR.
Ancker has doubts of his recovery.
The fury of the cyclone was not, how
ever. spent entirely Oh Lake Gervais
and its lovely shores. A farmer named
Goetcka. living on the Kohlman side Of
the work. had his homestead destroyed.
There were twenty people in the house
and only one woman was injured. The
farmers of New Canada are in serious
plight. Four of them have not only
had narrow escape of their lives, but
they have lost everything in the world
they possessed-the houses, their fur
niture and their crops. Everything
has disappeared. Their condition is
deplorable. The men are daZed at
their loss, the women cry with grief
and the children look sad and miSera-

mentarily. have been very severe in
New Canada, and the condition of the

such fearful force that the surface of
the lake was lashed into white foam,
and the boat upon which few had OBJ

The Wreck Pulled Apart and HeI
Dead Cargo Landed.

Special to the Globe.
LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 14.-Not a
life has been lost from Lake City. yet
the town is in mourning. Every face
is sad, for the terrible events of Sunday
night have cast gloom over the vicin-
ity which it will take time to dispel.
During the greater part of the day the
bells of the village churches tolled
mournfully, and business is at stand
still. A mile and a half above the town,
off the sandy beach which stretches far
out into the lake, and which is called
Central Point, with her upper
decks above the water. lies all that is
left of the wrecked steamer Sea Wing.
A number of tugs from various points
along the lake arrived Oh the scene
Yesterday morning: and, by the COM
bined efforts of several of these, the
wrecked steamer, with her freight of
dead, was warped into the shallow
water, where she lay beached. Even
then her decks were scarcely Wis
ible above the water, and it was
determined to tear her to pieces if there
was steam power enough in the half
dozen boats to do the work. Stout cables
were made fast to her upper works and
two powerful tugs began hauling in
opposite directions. Both went ahead
with full head of steam and the de-
sired result was attained. The craft
was literally pulled to pieces by the
steam and the hull turned over in such
asmanner that the bodies in the cabins
were easily got at. Thirteen bodies
were found between decks, the last
thirteen contained in the list of the
dead. A careful
4 Search of the Wreck
: revealed that none were left, and the
shattered remnant of what on Sunday
was considered as staunch boat as
sailed the inland waters of Minnesota
was abandoned with scarcely a whole
timber in her. The attention of the res
i cIaers was then devoted to dragging,
and during the afternoon four more
bodies were recovered by this means.
Every skiff, and. In fact, every sort of
craft which the storm had left in con-
dltion to float. was pressed into service

coffins are piled along the shore await

at present that almost that number will
be needed. The steamer Ethel Howard
shas carried all the bodies recovered to
Red Wing as fast as practicable, and III
fact almost all the dead are natives of
that town. with a few from Diamond
sPeint, from which place the excursion
started, and few from Trenton. Wis.
Several bodies, two of them those OF

Special to the Globe
LAKE CITY, Minn., July 14.-Early
yesterday morning a line of hacks and
buses began running between the
village and the scene of the wreck, and
hundreds of people were congregated
there during the entire day. A barbed
wire enclosure had been built by the
militia under AdJt. Gen. Mullen around
the scene of the operations, and mill
tary guard with fixed bayonets kept the
morbidly curious from hampering the
work of those engaged in the search for
bodies. Here and there along the shore
were groups of women who wept in
cessantly, and anxiously scanned each
body recovered, fearful that it might
prove to be the corpse of some
loved one. One mother witnessed
the finding of her daughters body,
a beautiful girl about nineteen years of
age. She was caught by the hooks and
dragged ashore. Her face was white as
marble, but beautiful and smiling even
in death. A soldier of Company G
rushed into the shadows, and, raising
the dead girl, bore her to the beach.
Her long black hair had become un-
coiled and hung with the lake water
dripping from it over the shoulder of
him who bore her shoreward. The
screams of the mother as she recog-
|.nized the features Of her child were ap-
palling. Mems hearts sank within
them as they heard her, and witnessed
the abandon of her grief. Such scenes
were all too frequent, however, and
there was too much work to be done to
allow for lengthy demonstrations of
sympathy. A father was there looking
for his daughter. Three bodies recently
recovered lay upon the beach covered
by tarpanlins, and among :, them. was q
young girl. A soldier was about to un-
cover her face to the view Of the
searcher, but the latter stopped him
with the exclamation: "Wait; for
Gods sake wait a few moments.' He
leaned against one of the few trees left
by the storm, and closed his eyes In
prayer. Then he walked deliberately
to the shrouded form, tore away the
tarpaulin, and found his daughter.
.God help us all" he said; lit will kill
her mother"

LAKE CITY IN LUCK.
Only the Tail End of the Tornado
Struck It.

Specials to the Globe
LAKE CITY, July 4.-So far as Lake
City itself is concerned, the damage,
considering the fearful force of the
storm, is very light. It seems that the
fury of the cyclone expended itself more
on the lake than on its shores. Main
street, which is i'll direct line with the
course taken by the storm cloud, was
wrecked: that is, most of the buildings
on the street were unroOfed, and the
| awnings of wood which covered the side
walks for the entire length of the thor
oughfare were blown into splinters and
carried out of sight. All the trees on
both sides of the road We're blown down
and some very large trunks carried sew
eral hundred yards away. Along the
west shore of the lake between
Lake City and Central Point
| the dense timber is piled up in mex
tricable confusion, some trees of great
thickness being broken short off at the
roots or torn bodily out of the ground.
A number of boats owned by residents
along the shore, which would have been
of great service in the work of rescue,
were smashed into kindling wood, not a
vestige of them being discoverable in
any direction. Capt. John, all ex-steam-
boat captain, who stood on the steps of
one of the residences which line the
lake shore from the village to the scene
of the accident, te lis in graphic man

Sawla worse sea on Lake Michigan than

Pepin at that time. 1t didn't seem as
though the best skiff that ever was built
could live five seconds after leaving the
shore. but there is no telling what can
be done when brave men stand willing
to do 1t. One mani didn't learn his
name-tried to get crew to man a

much like throwing life away, and the
fellows didn't want to go. This soldier
pulled gun from his pocket and
walked up to the biggest fellow in the
crowd.

or I'll blow your brains into the lake,
he said. The man looked at him, and
remarking that force wasn't necessary,
he got in. These two men together
saved sixteen lives, and would have
saved more but for the fact that the
boat got stove in against the wreck,
and came near drowning the rescuers
themselves before they got ashore from
the last trip. Other rescuing parties
were out, and many lives were saved at
