The hurricane followed two day.
of snltry weather, and many OF thu
weather wise along the coast had
predicted that severe storm was
due. When the storm swept In from
the gulf it came almost without
warning. however, and officials here
believe that a large number of small
vessels must have been caught by
the full fury of the wind.
1t will be several days before re-
ports can be received from the mum

Upon these the destruction must
have been complete. so far as build
