force. So great was the force that the
two granite monuments at the foot Of
fremont street to commemorate the
storm Of 1900 were blown across the
boulevard more than fifty feet.
Iron Posts Bent Double.
In other places iron posts have been
bent double and the granite coping on
the sea wall has been wrenched loose
some of the stones being carried a
block or more.
The wreckage from the shattered
ships. nearly all of which were of
frame construction, is piled high in all
parts Of the city. Telephone, telegraph
and trolley poles and wires make an
indescribable tangle. Public service
corporations probably will be unable to
resume operation for month.
500 Homes Destroyed.
Practically all the show windows In
town were broken and in some places
roofs were torn off. The total number
of houses of all kinds exclusive Of
sheds which We're destroyed Is esti-
mated at 500.
One of the greatest losses to Calves
causeway. This great concrete bridge
land and mainland was completed
barely two years ago. Both approaches,
approximating 5000 feet, are gone. The
east side is said to have been torn
away by one of the dredges which Is
believed to have sunk subsequently out
in the channel. The other was bat
tered down by a giant oil tank which
floated from the Pierce Fordyce refin-
cry, near Texas City. There were six
of these tanks valuel at from $4,000
to $4,000 each and holding $4,000 bar
rels of oil which were lost. But for
this OIL which tended to alley the
height Of the waves, 1t is believe the
loss at Texas City would have been
even greater.
Fifty Killed in Hotel.
The greatest loss Of life known to
have been sustained at one place is
said to have happened at Virginia
Point, at the east end of the cause
way.
OF seventy five persons said to have
been in hotel which collapsed there,
not more than twenty five were able
to save themselves.
