ISLE OF HOPE AND WHITE BLUFF.
Bath Houses Blown Away, Boats
Ashore anu Houses Damaged.

potb Houses Blown Away, Boats
Ashore anu Houses Damaged.
At Isle of Hope there are only three bath
houses left, Maj. Hardee's, Mr.. LaFar's
and Col. Estilrs. Hundreds of boats were
driven ashore, and covered with sand and
Debris. Mai. WHY'S naphtha launch and
Col Estilrs were not damaged, but Mr.
Coopers was damaged by his bath house
falling on it, Those who have seen the
Mace say that the trees look like those in
FORSYTH place and yards, and roads are
iropassable for the trees and limbs.
Mr.. Sam Reynolds house is con-
siderably damaged, the plazzas
and chimneys being blown down.
Mr.. James Sullivan's house has the
roof off The piazzas and part OF the roof
of the old Buckingham house are Off. The
roof of Mrs Bonds house was blown off.
The water tower and tank at Capt. Geo.
IT. CAMS are down. The ladies' saloon
and the end of the wharf recently built
to Messrs Barbee & Bandys premises
were blown away. Otherwise their place
is intact.
The blow only lasted about thirty min
utes at the island, but in that time the
waves washed away part of the bluff
in some places.
The blow at White Bluff was very Sc
we're and a good deal of damage was done
at the resort and in its immediate vicinity.
Many of the residents were in the city
at the time of the storm and on reaching
the place, after a walk of nine miles, for
all approaches were rendered impossible,
they found the results of the disaster
were no less pronounced than in the city.
The resort, situated on the Vernon river
and fronting the direction from which the
wind came, received its full force and
suffered in the wreck of buildings, boats
and the loss of shade trees.
Ten feet of the bluff caved in from the
sweep of the waves upon its case. This
encroachment of the river upon the resi-
dents lots is very perceptible and places
the houses rather too near the stream.
Many Of the boats and yachts THAI
were anchored or moored off the bluff
and wharves were completely wrecked.
Among these were Mr.. G. Noble Jones
yacht, Gadabout and Mr.. William Dancy's
yacht Maggie. The latter was dashed
against breakwater and ripped to pieces.
Nearly every house on the bluff was
unroofed. A corner of Mr.. w Neyie Hab-
ershams house was crushed by a fall
ing oak, but, fortunately, those within
CHANGED to be in another portion.
The fishermen and jewellers in the
smaller houses suffered greatly, for many
OF these were blown away. Their boats
were also either totally destroyed or bad
ly damaged.
The White Bluff road offered impassa.
Die obstacles to all travel and communi-
cation with the resort was necessarily
done on foot. The bridge over Salt creek
was blown away.

Superintendent Of Roads. R. ]. Wade
stated yesterday that the dam
age to the county roads were
very little, bit they are so
badly blocked up BY fallen trees that it is
likely it will take two weeks to get them
oil clear
Supt. Wade had about 100 men to work
yesterday cutting the trees away from
the roads, and he expects to get about as
many more on the work to-day, but even
with this force It will take quite while
to get all the debris cleared away. The
recently paved roads were not hurt at all
by the storm
The county drains and bitches were very
slightly damaged. There was not enough
rain to wash away any of the banks, and
the only injury TO any of them was what
was caused by falling trees. The worst
damage sustained by the county was at
the convict camps, where fences were
blown down and tents were blown away
and destroyed.

DAMAGE TO THE HOSPITALS.
The Savannah Hospital and Georgia
Infirmary Suffered Worst.

The damage to the Savannah hospital
is estimated at from 81, 200 to 1880. Nearly
all Of the timing on the main building
was blown away and the laundry in the
grounds was partially unroofed. A pecu-
liar freak of the blow, and one that shows
with what ferocity the wind came, was the
blowing down of a part Of the iron fence
on Huntingdon street. The fence is of
heavy iron, about four feet high, on a
stone foundation. The part of the fence
blown down was actually wrenched away
from the balance. A portion of the fence
on Drayton street was bent by the force
Of the wind.
The plastering in the rooms on the up-
per floor of the hospital was broken in
some places by the moisture and the pa
tents on this floor We're removed to the
first floor. The damage to the hospital
buildings will be repaired Immediately.
At the Georgia 4nhrmary the board of
managers estimated the loss at anywhere
from $1,000 to 5000 A part of the roof
and the entire timing were blown away
as was also the porch. The board of man
ayers say the necessary damage will be
repaired at once.
ST. Joseph's Infrmary was unusually
fortunate, and suffered comparatively no
damage whateyers The Telfair hospital
also escaped.
