dry, and some of them were carried by
the storm across the marshes on an
island, two miles distant from the sta
ton. One of the vessels at Tybee was
completely capsized and three club

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 29.-Passen-
ger train rs of the Atlantic coast line.
with Pullman sleepers attached, reached
here this evening from Charleston, S. c.,
having been delayed twenty-four hours
by the storm which swept over the
south Atlantic coast Sunday and Mon
day. ]. 3. Beddinfeld, Southern express
messenger, who was in Charleston dur
ing the storm, says that the battle of
wind and rain commenced with terrific
force at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and
continued until Monday morning at
o'clock That there was not fifty yards
of space in the streets that did not con-
tain debris, such as roofs of houses,
signs, awnings. telephone poles, etc,
which were scattered in all directions;
that the roof of the ST Charles hotel
was blown off and that the streets were
flooded with water almost TO it's doors.
He saw fourteen box cars that had
blown from the railroad track and
turned over. All the phosphate works
in the city were blown down or badly
damaged. There was a schooner lying
high in the middle of the street. There
was no communication with Savannah,
all telegraph lines having been pros
trated. While he saw no one killed or
injured, it was currently reported that
six people had been killed in the city.
1t was also rumored that there has been
graf loss of life on Sullivan's island, re-
ports placing the number in the hun
dreds, but as all communication was cut
off, there was no means of verifying
the report.
The storm injured many buildings in
Savannah and did great damage TO the
trees Only four buildings sustained Sc
rious damage. Fifteen people are known
to have been drowned and more are
missing. 1t is impossible to estimate
the amount of property destroyed The

sons island.
FRED STUART, drowned with Mr..
Ulmer
TONY HOLMES. colored child crush
ed by falling roof on Hutchinson's is

More than thirty wrecks have been re-
ported so far. Fifteen vessels in the har-
Dor and off Tybee We're wrecked or bad
ly damaged. More than that number of
smaller crafts are missing and are be-
lieved TO have been lost Other disasters
which occurred to the shipping between
the quarantine station and Tybee roads
are:
The Norwegian bark Harold. which is
lying on the Tybee beach. Norwegian
bark Linden is at the quarantine station
high and dry in the marsh with her
foremost gone. The Norwegian LOYAL is
in the marsh near the quarantine station
with all Of her masts gone. The Por-
tuguse bark Audacia is high and dry and
is considered to be a total wreck The
bark Mexico which was lying at the up
per quarantine wharves is now in be-
tween the lateral row of pilings of the
wharf. How she got there is wonder.
Apparently she must have been lifted
over the outside pilings. The British
barkentine Genesta is high and dry on
McQueen's island just abreast of Venus
Point. She is apparently in good shape
with everything standing. The only YES
sci that rode safely to her anchors dur
ing the storm was the bark Cosmine
At New Haven.
