foundations.
Mr. Carrolls house, however, looks as
if an earthquake had struck it, The
rooms and the foundations were all torn
apart and the flooring was bent and
twisted in various shapes.
The German bark Harold from Ham
burg, loaded with kainit, was found by
the exploring party blown high and dry
upon the beach at the north end of the is

waded in to the beach, but one poor un-
fortunate sailor who was sick aboard and

AN EXPERIENCE IN 1881
DR.. Comm, who was at the Atlantic
to view the demolished condition of the
island yesterday morning, was on Tybee
during the famous storm Of 1881. He SAYS
that the storm on Sunday could not com
pare with that of twelve years ago, at
least, so far as the damage on Tybee was
concerned. He says the damage there in
1881 was almost one-half greater than it
is now, that is in comparison with the
values of the real estate there then and
now, The damage is bad enough, how
ever, he says, and it will take thousands
Of dollars to repair it.
MAYOR ULMER's PLACE GONE.
The Ulmer residence toppled over
during the storm, and Mrs. Ulmer and
her children were compelled to take
refuge at the house Of Mr.. II. L, Will

Mr.. Willink's house did not suffer any
damage from the storm. The occupants
were comparatively safe from the raw
aging pillows and the terrible blasts
which beat against its walls Besides

were about dozen others who had
sought safety at his home during the
storm.
Capt. Blun's house stood the storm.
Guilty Russell's home was washed away
and the proprietor lost his entire posses

Theodore Fincken and II. p Driver

Sunday and their friends are anxious
about them.
THE TRACK IMPAssABLE.
The Tybee track between Savannah and
the island was simply impossible from
the island up to the city. The water
which covered it entirely at an early
hour yesterday morning had not subsidized
at noon yesterday, and in the fields
near the Tybee depot the water stood
three and four feet deep. About
hundred yards from the depot part of
the main stem Of the track had blown into
and the end of it was laying across the
side track next to it. From q walk down
the track short distance from the depot
it could be seen that the damage was
complete and extensive.
BRIDGES WASHED AWAY.
The bridge over the Bilbo canal had
been entirely washed away and the other
bridges along the road were reported in
the river. The bridge over the Bilbo
canal was in a sheltered position, while
the others were not.
To put the track in condition, repair all
its washouts, broken rails and sunken
hridges will be the work of savernl daus
