GALVESTON, Tex, July 21.-Forti-
~ fed behind her l7-foot seawaIi
" and elevated to a point above the
danger line, Galveston today passed
safely through a hurricane which re-
sembled in intensity the disastrous
storm of 1900.
Part of the island upon which the
city is situated again was inundated,
the overlooking sea water reaching u
height of seven or more feet. Th@t
portion of the island which was Pro-
tected suffered little damage.
Ten people were drowned at Tarpon
pier, seven miles from this city, when
they were washed into the gulf by the
wall of waters.
While it is impossible to get an ac-
curate list of the dead owing to the
fact that the register has always been
kept at the pier, the best information
obtainable follows:
Captain Bettison and wife, Edward
Lewis, c. II. Daily, circulation man
ager Galveston Tribune; four negroes.
The others are unknown.

The water backed up into the main

ever, was confined to the beach front.
where bath houses and pleasure piers
were swept away but shipping was
undisturbed.
A hurricane from east Texas was
forecasted early in the day, and, when
the storm broke, Galveston was pre-
pared. Tho inhabitants of the few
scattered houses sought safety anu
the vessels We're riding at anchor in
the bay
The fury of the storm soon abatcl
and the anxiety of those who enter
tanned fears of another tidal wave
was thus easily relieved.
SO short was the ddration of the
storm that the Mallory line steamer,
booked to start for New York shortly
after noon, left on time.
a heavy dredge had been blown
against the single bridge. which con
meets Galveston island with the main
land, and the telegraph cables had
been parted AS a result, rumors were
rife that Galveston had again Suf-
fered such a storm as that which
practically destroyed the city nino
years ago.
Few buildings were blown down, but
it is believed that many warehouses
were flooded and that goods on the
bottom floors of these buildings ware
ruined. Consequently, it will require
several days to ascertain the amount
of the damage.
The storm covered a wide area alorg
the gulf coast.
Many Saved by Pilot Boat
One pier. seven miles from the city.
was demolished. Thirty or forty people
were rescued by the pilot boat Texas
and brought to Galveston.
AS result of the damage to the sin
gle bridge which connects Galveston
with the mainland, communication by
rail with Galveston has been cut off,
Tug boats are carrying passengers,
mail and freight across the bay to Gall
