indicate that another tropical hurri-

it did before the great gale last week,

conditions are the same as last Thurs

Local forecasters say that these
tropical gales frequently follow one

wreckage hundreds of cadavers, all
putrid and bloated, float beneath

are floating in full view in the bay.

thrown into them, but it soon became

Life is held cheap in Galveston. The
