when even old hands at predicting the
course of the tornado were drawing

At Savannah the tornado had lost
much Of its fury. 1t tore through the
town however, unrocfed many houses
and destroyed much porperty not only
in the city but in adjacent countries.
From Norfolk came news Of heavy
winds and some damage to property.
while the towns in North Carolina and
many in Florida contributed their

That the worst Is over now seems
certain and it only remains to cast
up the cost In human life and proper

That this list will be incomplete
for several days is probable, for wires

at least 200 have been killed. probaS-
