GULF STORM OF 1875.
A Signal Omcer's Experiences at the
Destruction of IndianOia.


(F'rom the st. Louis Globe-D -Democrat.)
81 was the signal officer at Indianola,
Tex, in September, 1875, when that fear
full West India storm devastated the Flor
ida coast came around the Gulf and de-
stroyed many towns in Texas said
Charles Howard, special agent of the
Census Bureau. ''The wind had been
blowing at the rate of eighty-two miles
an hour for two days and the water was
twelve feet deep all over the city when
the big blow came. The signal service
station was the highest building in the
place and when the storm was over, al
though badly undermined by the waves,
1t was the only Inhabited building in
town left standing.
This Is the strange part Of the story
as 1t illustrates another of the peculiari,
ties OF these Gulf windstorms as well as
explains why our house was not washed
away with the rest For forty-eight hours
the area of low barometer had centred
over Indianola and the worst was looked
for. The gale had driven the waters
from the bay through the town until 1t
seemed as II there was no chance for es-
cape We determined to stick by our in
sUrumente, however, as long as the build
ing did not go to pieces. In case that 1t
became absolutely necessary to leave we
had made raft out of six bales OF cot
ton so that escape might be possibls. The
wind was coming from the southeast ana
the last record taken before the instru-
ments on the tower were carried away
indicated velocity of almost one hun
dred miles an hour. Schooners from the
bay were carried right through the bust
ness part OF town and left high and dry
on farm land five miles away.
l. remember that as / watched the
barometer 80 down and down / thought
that the end would come before long
Ihls thing had been going on for forty
eight hours, with no letu-p. AS a matter
Of precaution we had braced the sigma
service station against the wind anc
waves coming from the southeast, so fsli
more secure than would have been the
case otherwise. Suddenly, as the barO-
meter dropped to %. "a there was a dead
calm, which came with a suddenness
which was startling. The thought struck
me that this meant that the wind would
shift, so we went out and reversed the
braces, putting them on the other side
A minute later the gale came on again II
all It's fury, but this time from the north
west instead OF the southeast. In sixhours
time the water gbhat had been flooding
the town for two days had been forced
back, and the few houses not carried
away by the inrushing torrent Wer.

(From the Boston Commercial Bulletin. }
The shipyards of the United States are
full OF orders which it VIII take proba-
bly, two years to fill, and in the mean
time the demand for ocean freight space
is increasing every day, with the rates
advancing proportionateIy. The most
significant development just now is the
movement on the part OF the great rail-
road and Industrial corporations to own
and operate individual lines Of steam
ships engaged in transoceanic traffic.
The New York Central road, for ex-
ample, is said to have in mind the estab.
lishment OF a direct line OF transatIa ntic
steamers not only from New York, but
also from Boston, in connection with the
Boston & Albany lease. The Baltimore
& Ohio road has built the largest coal
docks in the world and proposes to export
coal brought to tidewater over it's own
rails In its own bottoms, while President
Hill Of the Great Northern started the
movement by placing an order for four
huge steamers for the transpacific trade,
which steamers are now In process OF
construction at New London, Conn.
Lho btB 1tCcA anu AAou companies nave
N ade up their minds that to extend and
keep their export trade they must own
ocean-going fleets, as well as railroads
on land and steamers on the great lakes.
This desire OF the iron and steel people
for direct transportation facilities to
Europe has led to the fplacing OF orders
Tor vessels to be used in direct service
between Chicago and other lake ports
and Europe, and 10 is reported that ships
now navigating the great lakes, swhioh
are sea-worthy, Will be sent to the ATTAIN
tic ports before the close Of navigation
and used to carry iron, steel and coal to
European consumers.
The regular freight liners are having
all the business they can handle and
tramp steamers are alsos sreaping,a harvest
In these closing days OF the century, for
the various wars into which the civilized
world has been plunged has greatly re-
duced the available ocean-going tonnage
at time when phenomenal strides are
being made in the export business of this
country. Relief from this congested con-
d1tion cannot come until tonnage now on
the stocks is available, and that VIII not
