Miami, Fla, Oct. 20. The re
port of the loss of the steamer st.
Lucie, Captain Bravo command.
ing, has proven true this evening.
One of the extension steamers
arrived in port, bringing so
wounded who were taken to the
hospital. 1t is said there are 2S
dead bodies, which will be brougt
up to morrow. 1t is believed now
that a portion of the Florida Fish
&Produce Company's fleet were
drowned. Manager Adams sent
out one Of their boats this morn
ing to look for the men and on
their return they reported no
signs of the fleet. The fishing
nets were found strewn upon the
shore.
Captain Bravo says that he an.
chored on the lee side of Eliott's
Key, % miles south of Miami,
yesterday morning and that soon
after a tidal wave engulfed the
island. He says there were $50
residents on the island, all of
whom were lost. The st. Lucie
was crushed by the same wave
and of the Que hundred persons
on board 20 were killed. Capt.
