LEFT RUIN IN ITS PATH.
Hurricane that Swept Over Bahama
Islands was Very Destructive.

Nassau, Bahamas.-Only fragment
ary reports have as yet reached
the seat of government here as to the
damage done to the outlying islands
which were ravaged by a hurricane
from the 11th to the 14th instant, but
such news as has arrived is sufficient
ly bad. The storm appears to have
originated near Turks Island and
swept with ever increasing fury up the
long string of islands running south
east from here. On Long Island the
gale blew for two days and the settle
ments are practically obliterated from
end to end, the principal place, Clar-
encetown, having only five houses left
standing. The inhabitants were forced
to find shelter in caves, and food and
water are almost unprocurable.
The schooner Sarah z. Douglas
was blown from her anchorage at Long
Cay and was driven ashore ON Long
Island. Many other boats wear lost,
but 1t will be weeks before the full
accounts will reach Nassau. There is
no doubt that the loss of life is heavy.
The whole countryside is scalded and
burned as if with fire from the terri
BILE driving of the salt water across the
land. While the actual money loss is
insignificant, the houses destroyed for
the most part being mere shanties,
nevertheless the loss to the owners is
severe, representing as it does prac.
tically everything that they possessed

JENNY LIMBS FLAG SALUTE.
Tribute by the Greatest Singer of Her
Day to the "Star Spangled Banner"

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind
was singing in New York, the Ameri-
can frigate, st. Lawrence, returning
from cruise abroad, came into the
harbor. The young midshipmen, on
the first night of their shore leave,
went to hear the famous singer.
The next day the boys, to express
the emotions that her wonderful voice
had stirred in them, called on her In
a body. They hardly expected that
she would receive them, but she did;
and She was so charmed by their
youthfulness and righteousness that
when they timorously asked her If she
would like to see their ship, she ac-
cepted the invitation. Then, growing
bolder, they asked her to luncheon,
and she accepted that invitation, too.
When, on the appointed day, she
came on board with her companion,
the captain saw her from his cabin
and recognized her. q
There is nothing more strict than
the courtesy observed in ship etiquette
among officers Of all ranks. OF The
three messes-the captains table, the
wardroom and the steerage mess,
where the midshipmen ate-no officer,
from captain down, would make him
self one of a company at another
mess unless especially hidden.
In this case the captain rang the
bell for the orderly.
"Tell the gentlemen of the steerage
mess" he said, that the captain 10
going ashore. and that his cabin is at
their disposal IL they care to use &C."
The luncheon, however, was eaten
In the steerage. But after the pleas
ant meal was over the boys proudly
invited their guest into the captains
cabin, where they took their coffee.
ASK her to sing something" whis-
pered the paymaster's clerk.
"I'll thrash you IL you dare," re-
turned one Of the midshipmen, under
his breath.
The wardroom officers had guests.
too. They brought up guitars and sat
on the poop.deck above, singing THE
Suwanee River" and other popular
songs.
"How pretty" cried Jenny land,
with enthusiasm, clapping.
When at last she was leaving, she
paused on the step between the carved
sides of the gangway. Looking up at
the floating Stars and Stripes. she
said
Il wish TO salute her flag"
Uncovering her head and holding
her hat in her hand, che began to
sing The Star Spangled Banner"
AS she sang the first verse every
officer and every man came silently on
deck. When she had sung the song
to the end, deafening cheers rang out
from the st. Lawrence and were taken
up by every ship near by, for all had
been listening.
Steamers blew their whistles; and
every man within reach of that thrill.
ing voice knew that he had heard one
of the most inspiring songs in the
world sung as he would probably
never hear it sung again.
