believed to include the complete roll of

three women and three children We're
camping out Some surveyors making
their way home after the storm found the
eleven dead bodies strewn on the shore
under logs and brush. Th0y were close
together, which would indicate that they
were simultaneously killed by the tidal
wave. Eight other bodies have been found
on the beach Twenty more fishermen are
still to be heard from, all of whom are
probably dead.
During the hurricane at Cedar Keys
the water came up with tho wind, and
down the principal streets rushed Il mad
torrent upon which tloated houses, boats
and debris of every description While
the tempest was at its height the Bcttelini
House, the Schlimmor House and John 5
Sherrills S residence took fire and We're
burned.
The town was built on several small
quays. The bridges connecting these quays
were swept away, and the only communl-
cation is by means Of boats.
