came across the bay to Morgan's

Minis said. was the worst ever known
The city. Mr.. Timmins AYERS. Is q
complete wreck, so far as he could see
from the water front and from the
fremont Hotel. Water was blown
over the island by the hurricane, the
wind blowing at the rate of eighty
miles an hour straight from the Gulf
and forcing the sea water before 1t
in big waves. The gale was q, steady
one, the heart of it striking the city
about 5 o'clock p. m. and continuing
without intermission until midnight,
when it abated somewhat, although
it continued to blow all night.
OF his own knowledge Mr.. Timmins
knew of only one house succumblng
with fatal results, though he heard of
many residences being carried away
with inmates. The house that he saw
destroyed was Ritter's saloon and res
taurant, at 2109 Strand street, prin-
cipaI street Of the city. This three
story building was blown down and
nine men, prominent citizens, r. were
killed.
The water extended across the isl.
and. Mr.. Timmins said it was three
feet deep in tne rotunda of the Tre-
mont Hotel, and was six feet deep in
Market street. -
Along the water front the damage
was very great. The roofs had been
blown from all the elevators, and the
sheds along the wharves were either
wrecked or had lost their sides. and
were of no protection to the contents.
In the bay the carcaSses of nearly
200 horses and mules were seen, but
no human body was visible. The
scenes during the storm, Mr.. Timmins
said, could not be described. Women
and children were crowded into the
fremont Hotel. where re was seek
ing shelter, and all night these un-
fortunates were Demoaning their losses
of kindred and fortune. They were
grouped about the stairways and IN
the galleries and rooms Of the hotel.
What was occurring in other parts OF
the city he could Only conjecture.
Provisions were badly needed. as q
great majority Of the people lost all
they had. The water works power
house was wrecked and the cisterns
were all ruined by the overflow OF
salt water. The city was in darkness,

Ole of the refugees who came in on
the relief train, and who had sad eX-
perience, was S. w. Clinton. an engi-
neer at the fertilizing plant at the Cal

family consisted of his wife and six
children. When his house was washed
away he managed to get two OF his
little boys safely to raft. and with
them he drifted helplessly about. His
raft collided with wreckage Of every
description. and was split in two, and
he was forced to witness the drowning
of his sons, being unable to help them
in any way.
