big dredge used at Texas City has been
driven inland for half mile and she
can never be gotten off except in pieces.
The Pensacola was in port when the
storm began, but Master Simmons put
to sea in the teeth of the brewing storm
and it is feared that the boat and her
crew of SO men have been lost.
There are now no signs about the
wharf where the seamen were busy Sat
urday afternoon slowing cargo. The
grain elevators and Peymor's Golfer mill
are wrecks. They are not down, but
their roofs and the top stories are gone
and grain stored therein has probably
been ruined by the rain.
The damage to the ships at this tune,
when the demand for tonnage is so
great, is regarded as one of the worst
features of the disaster from a business
standpoint. None of the vessels are ir-
retrievably lost, but it will take some
time to get the boats off and to get them
repaired, even though they are not
wrecks.
Losses In the Business District.
In the business portion of the city the
damage cannot be even approximately
estimated. The wholesale houses along
Strand had about seven feet of water on
their first floors, and all windowpanes
and glass protectors of all kinds were
demolished. The top of the Moody bank
building was blown away and the fix
lures of every house on this long bust
ness thoroughfare was destroyed.
On Mechanic street the water was al
most as deep as on Strand. All provis-
ions in the wholesale groceries and
goods on the lower floor were saturated
and rendered valueless The engine
house Of the fremont hotel was caved
in by the falling smokestack and cook
ing was made an impossibility. The
damage to the hotel building will
amount to about $4,000.
The powerhouse Of the street railway
company was destroyed and the loss on
machinery and building is estimated at
$4,000. There are no wires of any sort
standing. They are lying in tangled
masses across the street and will have to
be cleared away before horses and We
hicles can move about the streets.
