THE NEWS COMING IN SLOWLY.
With the telegraph wires working more
regularly, with avenues of communication
being opened, and more especially with
the lapse of time, permitting scores of re-
porters TO gather the news, the extent of
the terrible disasters in this section
Of tine country are becoming known
and every message brings additions
to the number of vessels wrecked and
ives lost. The storm was. beyond all
doubt, not only the worst that has ever
been experienced in the south, but il has
never anywhere been equaled in its de-
structiOn Of property and its destruction
of human life by any storm confined to as
limited an area.
Hardly less than $50 vessels were
wrecked, and in many instances all their
crews We're lost. Nine out of ten Of those
who were saved underwent experiences
that will be a terrible nightmare to them
during the remainder Of their lives. More
than 200 sailors have been lost at different
points, sailors who were upon their YES
sells when the storm burst in all its fury.

and corporations and humble citizens suf-
fered without discrimination.

summer resort along the Mississippi
