TWENTY-FIVE MEET
DEATH IN STORM

CHARLESTON, IS. c. Special
Fully. month viii elapse before the
fun havoc wrought by the hurricane
along the South Carolina and Georgia
coasts is completely known. The sea-
shore is stTeWn with wreCkage and il
is believed that beneath the debris are
more bodies not reCkOned now in the
death list that has reached twenty
1--WE.
Communication with isolated points
inland was still crippled today and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
this city kept in touch with the bal
ance of the world
Some sections in the ravaged area
We're still cut off and it Will be a. least
a week before conditions are back to
Work Of clearing away wreckage
lett in the wake of the tornado is pro-
ceeding slowly. News tricllled in from
coast towns relating heavy destruction
from the terrific wind which accom-
panied the storm along the coast.
The total damage from the storm
along the coast today is estimated in
round numbers at S5.000.00O.
Disabled ships, caught in the path
OF the hurricane, staggered into port
today with stories OF disaster upon the
deep. The number of small vessels
which were. perhaps wrecked cannot
be estimated.
All OF the streams flowing into the
sen within the zone Of the tornado are
out of their banks.
In the outlying districts swept by
the storm crops were destroyed by the
heavy rains which washed gardens
compieteiy away. The pinch of hum
ser Will be relt by hundreds of fami-
les which depended upon their truck
farms for SuStenance and also by
households Of Charleston.
Work Of repairing the Charleston
navy yard has already begun, but il
probably VIII be a fortnight before il
is com pleted.
Although five OF the six torpedo
boats which were blown ashore were
! badly dana Eed. il is believed that they
can be repaired and that none of them
Will be a total loss.
