The vessel was light, having been dis
charged at quarantine, and she had moth
ing but a couple of ballast logs alongside
to keep her up. AS she was blown in
the middle of the stream. she careened
on the port side. At this point all hands
started to go in the rigging, but a min
ute later she came up, and soon after
made another list to the starboard side
This time several water barrels broke
loose and rolled to the side, causing the
vessel to bury her gunwales in the water
The captain and his wife and baby and
Mr.. Graham were clingng TO the rigging
expecting every moment that the vessel
would capsize. She drifted against the
training wall, on the opposite side of the
river which righted her and she stuck
fast in that position. The captains wife
and child and Mr.. Graham were taken to
=. Sanford Ross dredge, which was
near by, and they were made as COM
Portable as possible under the circum-
stances.
Mr.. Graham came over to the city after
the storm abated, and reached his home
about O'Clock. In the meantime. Mr..
Joseph l.. Graham. the brother Of the
harbor master, was looking along the
wharf for his brother Nobody seemed

up at his home there was great rejoicing.
His wife had become seriously alarmed

mated at from $780, 900 to $4,000.
The new pavilion, the bath houses, and
nearly all the improvements made at the

could not be ascertained. The pavilion
and bath houses We're blown down and the
piazza was badly damaged
The Atlantic and Zorayda Clubs were
only slightly damaged, some windows be-

THE DAMAGE AT TYBEE.
The Hotels Injured, and Several Cot
tages Damaged and UnrOOfed.

Very meager reports were received from
Tybee Island until yesterday afternoon.
From the reports received then the exact
extent of the damage cannot be told.
Those interested on Tybee were not sat
isfed with the reports they received, and
Mayor J. G. Butler and several others
went down to the island yesterday late in
the afternoon to make a personal inspec-
ton.
Several efforts were made to get down
by rail, but 1t was found impossible A
handcar was run down to the st. Angus
tine bridge, but could not be gotten across
on account of the bridge being tilted out
of plumb. Those on the car went across
the bridge and walked down the track for
some distance, and made an examination
Of it, but discovered no extensive damage
a party who walked up from Tybee by
the track in the afternoon reported that
it was not damage at all. The Lazaret-
to bridge is all right and the only trouble
with the track is that it is covered with
weeds, grass and sand.

The Electric railway got its Price street

they will probably be all right to-day.
Neither of the companies could afford to
