LOVE HAD HARD DRIVE
IN FACE OF STORM
BANK EXAMINER THOUGHT HIS
CHANCES SLIM WHEN HE
DROVE ALONG COAST.

], s. Love, bank examiner from this
district, thought his chances to live
were mighty slender yesterday after
noon when he was driving in one
horse surrey from Pass Christian to
Gulfport.
Mr.. Love went from Bay st. Louis
to Pass Christian on morning train
expecting to take an early afternoon
train into Gulfport in time to make the
Gulf & Ship Island connection fol
Hattiesburg. When he got ready to
leave Pass Christian, however, he
found that the train he expected tc
take couldn't get across the Bay St
Louis bridge.
By that time the street cars were
all stopped and the wind had become
somewhat alarming, but the bank ex
aminer figured he had rather take
chance of getting to Hattiesburg than
on staying in Pass Christian. The
only available means of Transports
ton was a one-horse surrey, driven by
a negro hackman. Love and a com
panion took it.
1--WE hadn't gone far when we saw
that the shell road along the coast
couldn't be travelled. The water was
already over it and the car tracks
The negro managed to drive through
pretty deep water a short distance
then reached a cutoff which led up
into the back road.
"The wind wasn't so strong here, as
the trees cut a great deal of it off
but | had one experience I'll never
forget. We were driving along pretty
rapidly when suddenly it got dark
and | heard roaring, cracking sound
Just like cyclone. There was flash
of lightning and on my left l saw
trees as big around as my body being
twisted aloose, and on my right
heard others breaking.
while this was happening, | said

agreed with me. The next moment

there and my friend beside me.
at must have been q little whirl
wind. How it tore things up so both
to the right of us and the left of us
and didn't touch us is more than
can explain. Anyway, ! wouldn't like
to go through it again"

land train at Gulfport and says Hat
tiesburg never looked so good to him
as when he got off the cars here last
night.
