try IN this section which were storm
swept, there has been but a single death

must not b. construed 10 mean that
there was no further loss OF life, for
there are sull many people missing.

ridges Of Sabine Pass when the water
began TO rise. They have not been
heard from and while their safety IL al
most taken FOR granted here, il cannot
be stated as a positive fact until the
count OF heads II made.

az Sabine Pass there is train on the

ditinal casualty news on this train

dents OF Bolivar Point and intermedi-
ate stations
