Captain John Telsansos, of the lugger
Stephanie, through an interpreter, told
the States narrowing story. lie says
81 made my lugger fast to her usual
moorlngs on Sunday afternoon, and had
gone on shore to camp. This was at
Grand Balk, about one mile from Grand
Island. The weather had been beauti-
full all the forenoon, but toward evening
1t began to cloud up, and knew that
storm was brewing. Heavy rain storms
set in, accompanied by strong winds,
blowing from all quarters of the COM
pass. | made all snug on board the
lugger as | anticipated trouble, and
then went on shore and waited events.
Luggermen are accustomed to bad
weather, but this storm proved to be
the worst | ever was in. The wind
howled, and towards II o'clock it was
blowing full gale.
"The shanty was shelterlng in stood
the blow fairly well until, l should

and Gulf road.
Captain Telsansos is a magnifcently
built man, OF giant proportions, but as
he spoke to the writer tears stood in his
eyes and his voice trembled. He did
not appear TO be able to give any very
collected estimate of how many lives
were probably lost, or Just what extent
of damage had been done. When asked
about his fellow luggerman he gave the
list above quoted.
RosARr pEPopuLArEp.
The islands adjacent to Grand Tsla
were also included in the hurricane that
swept this country last Sunday. Rosari
is one of the group, and like all of IDS
neighbors, is settled by people. all of
whom are clear Spaniards by descent. Il
has not more than a score of inhabitants.
who earn their living by fishing, This
place was entirely depopulated.
