SAVANNAH, Oct. 3.-For 18 hours,
from o'clock Sunday morning until 6
O'Clock Sunday night, Savannah has
been in the grasp of a West Indian
cyclone. During that time the wind
blew steadily from 30 to 20 miles an
hour. While the city escaped with
comparatively little damage, the loss OF
property among the sea islands of
Georgia and South Carolina coasts Is
believed to be heavy. For miles in
every direction the lowlands along the
rivers are submerged. Only one fatality
has so far been reported-the drowning
of a negro while attempting to reach
the mainland from q small island near
Thunderbolt--but heavy loss of life il
feared on the South Carolina sea islands,
where such fearful loss of life occurre
during the great tidal storm of 1898.
The conditions now are similar to those
during that storm. Owing to the sub.
merged country and the isolated loca
tion or the islands no news can be had
from them until the water subsidies.
For eight miles north of Savannah
the entire country is lake with only
the hummocks visible. At noon the
water was eight feet above the hight st
tide. Driven on shore by the nortn.
east storm, it filled up on the islands
swept over banks and dams, carrying
away the remnant of the rice crop that
was left by the August storm and haG
not been gathered, aud wiping out
farm crops.
The damage to shipping is consider.
able. The schooner Governor Ames
Il tfl o. l., 80
cargo of 900, 900 feet of lumber, went
adrltt i'll the harbor, but was secured
safely. The wharves at the quarantine
station, at the entrance to the river
here, were partially carried away. The
quarantine officer and his family and
servants were rescued early in the day
by tug Four vessels which were at
anchor at the station were torn from
their moorings and driven into the
marshes.
No news has been received from Ty-
bee since early yesterday morning and
nothing is known of the damage there
AT Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope, su
burbs of Savannah, all the boat houses
on the banks and hundreds of smal
boats were carried away.
The extent to which the railroads
suffered is not fully known. The nava
stores and cotton and lumber yards OF
the Plant system are submerged, ana
the tracks of the Central of Georgia anu
Georgia and Alabama roads around tht
city are covered. Telegraph wires, ex.
cept one wire over the Western Union
lines, are down and the condition of the
railroad tracks is unknown. The tele
phone, police, light and fire alarm wires
are down and the city is in darkness.
On Hutchinson's island, opposite Sa
vannah, and separating the city from.
the South Carolina shore, there Were
many negro families rescued by boats
from the revenue steamers Tybee and
Boutwell,. Upwards of hundred peo.
pie were brought from the island to the
city in boats.
All day long rescuing parties were al
work. Considerable anxiety is felt fol
shipping at sea. The extent of tue
storm is unknown until telegraph.
communication is restored or news Is
| received from the country between Sa
vannah and Jacksonville, over which
the heaviest part of the storm passed,
the full extent of its damage cannot be
told.
