In the slip between the wharveS
several vessels found a safe haven
from the storm, among them being
the coasting steamer Tarpon, which
was due to leave the city on it's east
ward trip on Tuesday night,
but which was held in port owing to
the storm signals. The large vessels
are sunk in the slip between the
wharves and one is aground to the
west of the slip. The tug Flanders
managed to get in the slip before the
! heaviest portion of the storm broke
and is among the few vessels in the
bay that was not damaged
Sullivan's wharf, which was used
by the Pensacola, st. Andrews and
Gulf Steamship Co., is complete
loss, only the shore end remaining.
In the slip between the head of this
wharf and the Palafox> street wharf
several vessels are ashore, among
them the tug Okaloosa.. The Florence
Wetherbee is sunk at Palafox wharf,
only her upper works being out of the
water 81
The entire plant of Saunders & Co.,
is in ruins and the wharf is prac-
tically destroyed. The main building
was shifted to the west of it's origin
al location and what now remains of
it is tOttering on the edge of the pier.
Palafox street, which was inundated
as far as the tracks of the Terminal
Co., is filled with rubbish of every
description, including timbers, lum-
Der, reefs and pieces of vessels that
were destroyed during the storm.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-09-28

The Barge office, at the bulkhead of
the slip between Palafox and Baylen
streets was badly damaged, the bal
cony being blown away by the wind,
and the slip is literally damned IuI
of rubbish and wreckage, a number
of vessels being mixed up with it.
Several launches have been sunk in
the slip-in fact but few escaped
damaged. All of the boat houses and
buildings of various descriptions that
occupied space on the sides of the
slip have been blown away and the
rear of many of the buildings front
ing on PalafoX street suffered Sc.
verely.
The plant of the Warren Fish Co.,
on Baylen- street wharf is completely
wrecked and all of the vessels that
We're at the pier have been blown
ashore. West from the Baylen street
pier the scene is one of ruin. Vessels
of every description are upon the
Leach, some of them left high and
dry by the receding waters. Others
are smashed beyond all hope of re-
pair. The ship yard is total wreck
and number of vessels that were
undergoing repairs are badly injured.
The. steamer Columbia, which has
Zen on the ways for some time Is
wrecked as are several of the vessels
of the Dunwody-Aiken Towboat Co..
which owned a large pier and had an
extensive plant little west of Baylen
street The houses along the bay
shore from Barcelona street to Per-
dido are in ruins and all along the
i,,v,t ~f
description are scattered as far as the
eye can reach.
The tug Simpson, one of the larg-
est in the harbor is hard and fast on
Sullivan sballasr crib. The Simpson
attempted to get to sea a ct o'clock
last night with the expectation of be-
ing able to weather the storm but
was forced to turn back and was run
on the rocks to save her from being
"a total loss.
The Monarch and Mary Lee are
high and dry with their noses almost
in Pine street, but both can be float
ed with comparatively little loss.
They were damaged to some extent
by the wind and waves but were in a
fairly safe position. The ship Avon
was driven ashore near the end of
Baylen street wharf, but will proba-
bly, be saved with little loss.
A report from Baskerville at 2 D.
M, is to the effect that the many
homes along the bay shore in that vi
entity suffered severely, many being
practically ruined. The new residence
of Lac Jacoby which is some distance
back from the waterfront was COM
pletely turned around and the build
Ing badly damaged The home of
Mitch Jacoby was also badly damaged
and large fishing smack, the Has.
1dns and the big lighter. Iris were
thrown into his yard on the bay side.
The Fisher residence was also DAM
aged considerable, and all wharyes
and docks swept away The Perdido
wharf was also badly damaged. but
the full extent of the damage could
not be learned during the afternoon.
Reports from along the bayshore
south of Baskerville are meagcr but
an impression prevails that immense
damage was done.

The most terrific storm In the his
tory of Pensacola or since the village
of Pensacola on Santa Rosa Island
was swept away 10 years ago, broke
Dver this city in all its fury Wednes-
day afternoon and kept up with In
ereasing violence until about noon to
day, when it moderated to cons lei
able extent. During the height OF the
storm property valued in the millions
was destroyed and it is stated that at
least ten lives were lost, although the
names of those supposed to have
been drowned cannot be ascertained
at this time The greatest loss was
to the shipping interests and large
humber of ocean going vessels, tug
boats, fishing smacks, launches and
craft of all kinds are wrecked upon
the beach, the wreckage being strewn
from Magnolia Bluff to the entrance
of the harbor. During the height OF
the storm people of the city were
panic stricken. many believing that a
repetition of the Galveston disaster
was imminent, and large numbers OF
people took refuge to the higher por

BY GREATEST AND
MOST DISASTROUS
STORM IN HISTORY
Whole Water Front Is StreWn With
WreCkage and City Itself
Almost Devasted.

that Pensacola was in the track of
the storm and every effort was made
to protect property of every descrip-
ton. People were driven from their
homes along the water front, the con-
carried away, trees were uprooted
and vessels in the harbor began to
drag their anchors, being slowly but
surely forced upon the beach.
The tide was the highest on record
and terrific waves, dashed to fury by
the bowling gale, broke upon the
beach, carrying all before them. The
entire waterfront was inundated, the
water reaching as far as Main street,
and all the residences along Main
street, many in the vicinity of Mus
cogee wharf, and houses along the
entire waterfront in the western por-
tino of the city were either carried
away completely or damaged to such
an extent that they were uninhabit-
able. ! .2. s
Ten Fatalities Feared.
AS far as can be learned there
are about ten fatalities. Capt. John
Walters, of the launch Pauline, which
berthed at wharf at the head of the
slip between Palafox and Baylen
streets, was seen near his vessel
about 10 o'clock last night, but has
not since been heard from. The YES
sci sank in the slip, but If the captain
is drowned his body has not been re-
covered.
Last night, when the first of the
heavy gale accompanying the storm
struck the city a party of nine were
seen in a boat near Baskerville. Four
were rescued and it is believed that
the other five persisted.
The wife and child of Tom Harris
who runs the store at Palmetto
Beach, are said to be among the
dead.
Two children are reported to have
been drowned in the vicinity of Mus
cogee wharf and it is also reported
that three men were drowned at diff
ferent parts of the waterfront.
Some Narrow Escapes.
Several narrow escapes are report
ed. Two negroes were taken from a
house near the corner of Intendencia
and Cevallos streets this morning
after the house was half submerged
One of them, an old woman, was sit
ting on the mantel piece with her
feet hanging in the water when found
by the rescuers, who were forced to
swim to the house at imminent peril
of their lives.
Early "Wednesday afternoon the
surf was reported breaking over
Santa Rosa island and it is believed
that the waves have cut the island

height of the tide, to some extent
Every effort to see the island to-day
by the aid of marine glasses was flu
tile, but it is believed that the pa
yilion is wrecked and a rumor wa:
current on the streets at noon thai
the Life Saving Station had also beer
blown away.
Three vessels were reported in the
gulf late yesterday afternoon an(
they certainly have not yet made
port. What their fate has been car
only be surmised, and it will be sew
eral days before the extent of the
calamity to shipping will be known
even partially.
Waterfront Havoc.
The havoc along the waterfront
seems to have been evenly distribut
ed, every section suffering greatly
The storm seemed to be most severe
in the western portion of the city
but the damage is so great in all sec
tions that it is impossible to make
any reasonable estimate of it.
Along the eastern waterfront the
damage was great. The bridge over
the entrance to Bayou Texar, whicr
was covered completely with wreck
age Is said to be badly damaged, al
though the extent of the damage con
not be learned until the storm sub
sides. 1t is also said that the entire
waterfront from the city to Escambia
Bay has been badly damaged, being
washed away in places. The Escam
bia trestle was under water yester
day morning.
South of the Bayou Texar trestle
number of small buildings were
wrecked, most of them being located
on or near the waterfront. The
wind in this section, when the storm
began, was not severe, East Hill Of
fering protection while the wind re-
NAMED in the east. When it veered
to the south, however, the full fury
of the storm was felt and great dam
age done.
Muscogee Wharf Wrecked.
Muscogee wharf, the magnificent
practically a wreck, having been
broken in two in the middle and the
the tracks on either side of the main
deck washed away. Thirty-eight coal
cars which were on the wharf have
gone overheard and five large vessels
which were at the wharf when the
storm began are hard ashore near the
head of the wharf. These vessels
are the Norwegian bark Superb,
Italian ship Olivero, Swedish bark
Alfhild, Portuguese ship Ferere and
one other vessel whose name could
not be ascertained. The Office at the
end of Muscogee wharf is completely
washed away.
The boom between Muscogee wharf
and Wrights mill (now owned by the
Escambia Land and Manufacturing
Coz was broken and the timber cast
every description being damned upon
the beach in torn and twisted mass.
Wright's mill is practically destroyed,
the big mill building having been to-
tally wrecked by the storm and the
three big wharves washed away.
Last night something over $500, 900
feet of lumber was stored on the
wharves and in the yards of the com.
pany but this morning not a stick
was left. The only parts of the plant
that remain are the planning mill and
dry kiln recently constructed and
both of these are badly damaged.
Boats Wrecked.
West of Wright's mill wharves a
number of pleasure boats were an
chored last night, but all have been
wrecked and not a vestige of them
remains. The tug Celestine, owned
