SIX WERE DROWNED
NEAR SAVANNAH

FATE AT DANFUSKlE BEACH.-A
VERY SAD AFFAIR. LIST OF THOSE
DROWNED.
The twelfth annual excursion Of the
Hebrew Gaemahl Hssad, commonly
: known az the H G H, had q tragic
ending in savannah Sunday, SIX mem.
bers of the party being drowned, The
H, G. H. is popular society with the
orthodox 9fr, chi. fly from Russia and
P bland, being of the benevolent char
actsr. One Of the features is an annual
excursion for the members and their
families. The excursion Sunday was
to Danfuskie island, 20 miles down the
Savannah river on the South Carolina
side. The beach at Danfuskie is poor
one, and it has been largely given up
as q resort. This accounts IN part for
the accident.
The steamer Eulalia had been char.
tered for the trip, and left with 175
excursionists on board, the majority
being women and children. The
mooring pl at DaDfuskie is at the
mouth Of creek and is called Bloody
Point. To sc: to the seashore proper
the visitors walked across the island.
The day passed pleasantly enough
until betw esn and O'Clock in the
afternoon, by which time the excurr
sionists were scattered all about the
island. A party Of 12 or fourteen,
mostly women and children, decided
to 60 in bathing on the sea side of the
island. Between the shore and the
deep water there Ia wash or sluics,
then a shoal and then q fairly good
shelving beach.
The tide was out when the party
went in, and there was little water In
the sluice and none at all on the shoal.
After bsinR in some time the party
noticed that the incoming tide had
covered the shoal, and decided to re-
turn. Tney were all right until they
reached the sIuice, where the water
was running like q mill race. Almost
the entire party was caught and q
struggle for life began.
Some managed to get back on the
shoal and few got ACROSS the danger
spot, but six-five women and girls
and one msn-were caught by the tide
ard carried down. Their screams at
traoted those on shore, and the alarm
was given. There were no boats on
that SIDE, and by the time word
reached the other eide OF the island
aud the boats were gotten out it was
too late.
The body Of one woman, Mrs. Abe
BricksteiD, was carried by the current
around the leland to the steamer aud
picked up. She was still alive, but sue
cumb,d after three hours, notwith-

that it was as easy for man to 60 to

HEAVY SEA SUNDAY.
The Smaller Boats Have Rather Hard
Time of It.

Probably the hig hest sea on st. Simon
this summer was experienced Sunday
afternoon. A strong northeaster was
on and the many small sail boats that
went to st. Simon in the morning had
considerable trouble in keeping off the
beach, it being impossible for them to
land at the wharf.
The Carolins, Mayor Emanuel's q
pretty craft, wss washed up on the
beach and received considerable dam
age By the heavy surf.
The Lucille was also washed up on
the beach, but was not damaged. The
other boats succeeded 10 keeping clesl
