communication with Charleston, Sa
yanah, Beaufort and Georgetown
vas interrupted yesterday as the re-
suit of prevailing storm and up to
this morning there had been no res
toration of service from these cities
to the outside.
In the absence of reports it is not
known what direction the storm is
taking though it is probable that it
is moving into the Gulf of Mexico.
While some uneasiness is felt as to
the probable effect of the storm it is
not believed that any of the cities
which are now isolated have suffer
ed damage to any great extent.
Before the wires went out it was
learned from Savannah that the
storm appeared suddenly off the
coast, its velocity over the city ol
Savannah reaching sixty miles an
hour
Very high tides were reported
from Tybee Island earlier before the
wires were lost from Beaufort, S. G.
Efforts to get into communication
with Charleston by wireless also
failed and nothing is known here of
the extent of the damage there.
