THE CUTTER MoRRILL's PATROL,
On Wednesday the revenue cutter Lot
M. Morrill,, stationed at Charleston, made
trip to Kiawah Island, Beaufort county.
about thirty miles from Hunting Island
to render assistance, if possible, to the
missing yachts of the Carolina Yacht
Club. The Morrilrs people at that time
had not heard of the disaster to the City
of Savannah. OF the trip the News and
Courier Of yesterday says: The miss
yachtsmen were found safe. Capt Blake
hearing it rumored that an oar and a
body had been found on HAWAII beach,
which probably belonged to the steam
ship City of Savannah, ordered the Nor
rill at once to the scene. At daylight on
the following morning one of the cutters,
under the command of Lieut.. Thompson.
carrying Messrs. Earle Sloan and Arthur
Slmons. proceeded by way of Bass creek
to the front Beach of Kiawah Island.
A sICKENING SCENE.
Here a scene sickentng with apprehen-
sion reveals over a scope of ten miles de-

as cushions, pillows and hundreds of life
preservers, many stamped City of Savan-
nah, strew the beach intermingled with
fragments of the hard wood finish of. the
saloon, pieces of life boats and some of
the heavy timbering of her superstruc-
ture.
The party was resolved into wide
search line, proceeding along miles of the
ocean front, swimming inlets and creeks
and wading marshes in their efforts to
discover the bodies of the probably I'M
fortunate ones. None were found. The
extent of beach covered by the debris
which the natives advised as extending
to Seabrook's Island suggests that the
steamer probably foundered fifteen or
more miles from shore. The horizon
carefully examined revealed the I'M
broken sea.
Tits the opinion that vital casualty at
such distance would not afford its dead
to the beaches for some days yet. Dill
gent inquiry satisfied the party that the
natives have as yet found none beyond
the cutters organized line of search.
That one thread of hope may be yet ex-
tended to the anxious ones, who, through
sympathy and nearer bonds, hold dear
the lives on this ship, it may be said that
not one article of personal property was
tound-nO wearing apparel, no hand
bags, no trunks. The damage may have
been confined to the upper saloon. This
is slender hope.
CONDITION OF THE NATIVES.
'The condition of the natives on HAWAII
Island is the subject of the most touching
pity. The cyclone destroyed their entire
