rarely been known The hurricane,
before 1t reached the city. had dashed
| the waves OF the bay into utmost fury.
1t was about . O'Clock last Saturday
morning when the storm began to be
| felt In the city. 1t had been raging in
| the gulf for some hours, and although
| warnings had been sent from Wash
ington to Galveston the day before by
the officials of the United States
| weather bureau no attention was paid
to them Saturday about noon the in
habitants realized that disaster was
at hand. and the hegira from the
beach and lower parts of the town be-
gan. The wind was so strong that il
cut the face like q knife: darkness set
tied upon the island earlier than usual;
by o'clock the evening of that day
the city was submerged.
The night was black, the plants OF
electric light and gas companies hav-
ing been swept away, and as the peo-
pie covered in their houses or places
where they had sought refuge the
swish of the waves and the bowling
of the gale were the only things they
could hear. The wind, which must
have reached I velocity of nearly 100
miles an hour during the night, was
blowing at the rate of eightv-four miles
when the instruments at the govern
ment observatory were destroyed; the
air was filled with flying debris, and it
merely meant death to venture out.
The violence of the wind did not be-
gin TO subsfde until nearly 1 o'clock
Sunday morning, and it was about
that time that the flood reached its
height. In the course of six or eight
hours the waters had gone down suf-
fciently TO enable men to navigate
some of the thOroughfares, while the
force of the wind had been lowered to
about twenty-five miles an hour.
Most attempts made to bury the
dead were failures. as the ground was
so water-Soaked that trenches, when
dug. We're almost instantly filed with
water. In the higher places some
burials were made. but as it was inn
possible to inter all the dead authority
was obtained from the city to throw
corpses into the sea. The city firemen
carried many bodies to the wharf,
where the dead barge was in waiting.
but it was difficult to get men TO handle
them after they had been carried out
to sea.
Looting has been general since Sun
day morning, and the governor has in
consequence called out the entire Ma
tional Guard of the state for duty at
Galveston. Adjutant General Scurry
was compelled to send the notifications
to several companies by courier, the
wires being down so generally in this
section of the state.
