SAIL WITH A MANIAC.

Robert Weiskittel OF Cincinnati Has
Thrilling Experience.
Robert Weiskittel of Cincinnati. gen
eral agent of the New York Life Insur-
anee Company, who has been staying on
Les CheLeaux Islands, in Lake Huron,
had a thrilling experience, which nearly
cost him his life. Mr.. Weiskittel made
many friends at the hotel where he was
stopping, among them being a physician
from Flint. One day the doctor extend
ed an invitation to the insurance man TO
accompany him in sail on the lake. The
only occupants of the vessel were Weis-
klttel, his host and the sailor who man
aged it. When the boat was out in the
lake the doctor suddenly jumped from his
seat. In each hand he held a revolver
and>ln his eye there was the unmistaka-
bic glare of the maniac. He declared he
was going to kill the other two men. The
sailor, unnoticed by the maniac, turned
the boat toward land and the PROV touch

talking and Furnishing his weapons Then

1t does not lessen the horror of this
disaster that Galveston seemingly invites
such a fate. Practically, it is upon
level with the waters of the gulf and
hurricanes are no strangers in that re-
gion. Starting in the West Indies some
times they sweep northeast along the
Florida and up the Atlantic coast bit
they are just as likely to take the oppo-
site direction and visit their tury upon
the Texas coast. In such case, when one
of these hurricanes reaches its maximum
velocity, Galveston is absolutely unpro-
tected. Even in an ordinary storm the
water rises in its streets. The-tlespair of
the situation is that human skill can de-
wise no means to protect it. Great sea
walls cannot be built, as no foundations
can be had for them in the shifting sand,
and the whole island is a long, narrow,
sand Spit so low that an extraordinarily
high tide will cover it. The only protec
ton Galveston has lies in the fact that
hurricanes of this magnitude do not often
occur, probably only three or four in a
century, and after one has visited then
its people live in the hope that they .iiay
not be exposed to another for many years
1t probably will be so in this instance.
The dead will be buried, the damage will
be repaired, the destroyed structures re-
built, and the hurricane of 1900 will soon
be only memory. The living will go on
their way as unconcerned as those who
live in an earthquake region or in the vi
cinitS of volcano.
Added to the destruction accomplished
by the wind of the hurricane was that of
tho SuprpedinU flood and hOuSes which
had resisted the pressure of the yale fell
when the water came. The people had
the choice of being killed in their homes
or drowned in the streets, and the indi-
cations are that the majority of the vic
tins preferred death in the water
Following the terrible visitation the
people of Galveston-one of the richest
cities the world ever saw-were starving,
literally, the midst of plenty. Cut
off by rail communication with the out
side, the only way of getting relief sup
plies into the place was by boat--a slow
means at the best, and all but inadequate
in the prevailing stress. Scores persisted
of hunger while the relief boats were on
their way there or being loaded; many of
the wounded died for lack of proper med
icines and necessary surgical attention;
hundreds of the dead remained unburied
or their poor bodies were thrust into the
sodden ground with no friendly protect
ing caskets to protect them from the
Shiny ooZe left as a reminder of the aw-
full visitation of the flood.
The condition of things is unprecedent-
ed in the history of the United States.
Galveston was not a beleaguered town,

DISASTER NOT MAGN1FiED.
Total of Deaths in Stormswept District
May Reach 10000.

AS indicated by dispatches from Cal
weston the magnitude OF the calamity
grows. The newspaper statements seem
to have been too conservative in their
efforts to guard against extravaganza or
exaggeration, and the loss of life in Cal
weston is greater than has been gener-
ally reported.
A boat owner of Galveston, Captain
Charles Clarke, is quoted as saying that
10000 would be reached before the NOR
tuary list OF Galveston and vicinity
would he closed He has been about on
boats in the waters around Galveston
day and night since the storm and bases
his statement on what he has seen.
j. ID. Dillon, commercial agent of the
Santa Fe. has returned from trip over
the line of his road from Hitchcock TO
Virginia Point ON foot and he gives a
graphic account Of his journey which
was made under many difficulties.
Twelve miles of track and bridges are
gone south Of Hitchcock" said he. II
walked, waded and swan from Hitch
cock to Virginia Point, and nothing could
be seen in all Of that country but death
and dtsolation. The prairies are covered
with water, and ] do not think exagger-
ate when | say that not less than 5000
horses and cattle are to be seen along
the line OF the tracks south Of Hitch
cock. The little towns along the rail
way are all swept away. When ! reach
