A TALE OF THE SEA.
THRILLING STORY OF CAPTAIN SAY
AGEO THE CITY OF SAVANNAH.
A Night of Terror and Peril Among the
Keefs-The Captain Describes HIS
Worst Experience in the Wreck.

To sum him up in three words, Captain
George Savage. the hero of the lost steam
ship Savannah. is a manly man. 1t Is on
record that at the moment OF supreme
peril, when his ship was beating itself to
pieces on the reefs, he laughed and Joked
to reassure the frightened passengers, yet
afterwards, when the reporters beselged
him and sought to make much OF him. he
blrshed like d girl and fled from his amable
tOrmentOrS.
He can look death between the eyes,
but he tlinchcS ut a compliment.
In the service he rs reckoned the most
popular man on the line. He has risen
from the ranks. and those who have work
ed with him before the mast, and under
him as mate as first officer and as cap
tain. are really to swear that success has
never turned his head or promouon changed
him one iota. This explains
the devotion of mis- crew. and the ease with
which he handled them in the hours OF
storm and stress when the lives of all de
pended upon the maintenance OF dlsclp-
line And thus panic. unusually the dead
Hest incident of a wreck at sea. was
avoided.
\ wilder story has been seldom penned
than that of the loss of the Savannah,

cred with slime and popping up suddenly
before him in the dim morning light.
His cries aroused the others and they
crowded around me. When l asked after
the other boat, they looked sober, and said
it must be lost. l told them nothing, but
gave the order to get ready to go to the
tug at once. They were only too glad to
obey, but were saddened by the thought
that their companions had gone down.
They embarked in the ifeboat and we
pulled back in an hour and a half-the trip
it had taken us twelve hours to make by
night. Was the meeting on the tug joyful
one? Well. i can't describe it--that's all.

The Insurance Companies Talk of Rnisinp
the City of Savannah


Savannah, Ga, September 6.-(SpeciaD
ne agents, owners and insurance agents
OF tne many DarkS, SchOonerS and steampr
which are lying on shore at Tybee and
quarantine are gong down the river every
day to inspect the bulls of the vessels tbere
and to decide what is to be done with
them. i'-l
a board of survey went down to inspect
me NorWeSian steamer Banan. Captain
Hanson. ! +. Minis X Co, agents. Which
brought inside the harbor the next day
The Banan was bound from New York to
Cardanas, Cuba and her machinery was
so disabled that she could make but little
Roadway.
After giving the steamer a thorough in
spection they decided that she should 90
10 New York for repairs inStead of contjn-
ulns her journey. She will start for New
Aork toIay. steaming slowly n account of
her disabled machinery.
The other vessels will all be given an
inspection during the week aud either or
drred taken up or they will be condemned
and ordered sold for whatever they will
bring. Most Of the vessels ashore there
are considered total wrecks, and the loss
of property as Il result of their having
been washed ashore will run up to about
$500. 900
Ii seems that the underwriting companjes
which had the insurance on the City of
Savannah have determined to raisn her
Nrecklng Company to determine what can
be done. This company sent the steamer
Colcy out from Norfolk to the scene of
the wreck on Sunday. and she has arrived
there. She was met by Captain Savage.
it is said that the ship can be raised and
put III rs good condition as she was be
fore sinking for an amount far less than
tae insurance carried, which is %150.OOO
and If the companies have the option of
doing this AND turning her back over to
the company it is clear that they will save
something by the transaction.
Cation Siucc the storm.
Recent reports received by the cotton
factors show that the damage 10 the cot
ton crop by the storms WAS not so great
as was at first reported. In fact the fac
tors do not anticipate any appreciable de-
crease in the yield Oh account of the storm
The area covered by the storm in the cot
ton belt WAS not very extensive, although
Il factor estimated yesterday that the total
area affected i'll Georgia, Florida and the
Car0linaS produces about 100000 bales an
nually. None of the factors estimated the
damage at more than ; per cent and the
majority do not think it will reach that
much.
The first reports declared that very great
damage had been done. but later reports
are much more moderate
The chief loss the factors estimate to
