THE JOURNAL MAKES GOOD

It would take more than storm to make The
journal take the count
The paper that has worked so consistently for
the people for score Of years is not to be put
down by anything less than an earthquake,

Our fight to get out on time would read like
Richard Harding Davis romance. When the
power plant house was drowned our motors
were dead and our plant was without illumina-
ton.
The Pensacola Gas Company, enthusiastically
cooperating in our public work, sent a large
force of worxmen to equip The journal office
with gas lights, and too much can not be said
for the courtesy and interest of the companys
officials.
A gasoline motor was secured from the city.
You've seen that engine many time. Now,
don't laugh-its the engine used to pump out
sewers! And Commissioner johnson was the
one who made it possible for one of our type
machines to turn out the story of Pensacola's
record-breaking hurricane. We couldn't work
the engine, and were in despair, but Phil San
chez got up out of bed and came over to get it

LOADED SWEDISH
SHIP IN TROUBLE

According to the best information
obtainable up to an early hour last
night, the Swedish bark Virgo, which
was loaded with naval stores for
Glasgow, and which was anchored in
the stream preparatory to going to
sea, is in trouble over in the west
ern part of the bay. The Virgo's
original anchorage was directly off
Palafox wharf, but at dark last eve
ming she had dragged anchor and ap-
peared to be aground near Perdido
wharf. Well informed people along
the water front stated that at the
point where the Virgo was lying, with
two anchors down, the bottom was
comparatively free of rocks, and or
dlnarily the bark viii suffer no dam
age. 1t was believed, however, that
1t will be necessary to discharge some
OF her cargo to tighten the craft be-
fore she could be foated to deep wa.
ter.

The tropical hurricane,
which had been predicted for
Pensacola for several days,
reached its highest pitch yes
terday afternoon at 1::35,
when the registered wind
velocity was 1O4 miles an
hour. 1t is the highest wind
velocity ever recorded in the
local office, breaking the
record of September 9th,
1906, whan a velocity of 80
miles was attained at 1853
a. IN.
The prevailing direction was
from the southeast, which
accounted for the comparatively
low tide, which reached at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon,
four feet above normal high
tide; in 1906 the highest re-
corded, the tide rose 8 IL feet
above high level,
The lowest barometer reading
was 1921 at 1:30, five minutes be-
fore the gale broke. That of 1906
was 29:l7, registered at 5 a. M,
September %, 1906. After the lO4
Mark in the afternoon yesterday, ii
was thought that the worst was over.
Such was not the case, as instead OF
blowing itself out, the wind drop
ped to IS and gradually increased
until it registered 50 at 4:I6, when
it was predicted that the storm was
not yet over.
Telegraph reports could not be
had and the possible extent of the
storm is not yet known.
Later reading of the wind velocity
showed that at STA the gale was

LAST TRAIN FROM
EAST WAS mo. 4

The last train from the east ar
rived on time yesterday morning at
9:45 o'clock, but later trains were
held on the east side of the Escam-
bia trestle. Tender Ward boarded it
and came to the city, believing it I'M
safe to remain there. When he left
the trestle Mr.. Ward said he was of
the opinion that the span would do
we'll to hold through the storm, al
though he did not think it was pos
sible. No report as to the condition
of the trestIe was received at head
quarters up to late hour. A large
force of men, under the personal di-
rection of Messrs. Duncan and Bats,
superintendent of bridge and roads,
respectively, were busy all the after
noon and far into the night endeav-
oring to have the track bed placed
in passable condition.

Heads OF City
Depts. Are Out

During the entire afternoon heads
of city departments were out study
ing conditions. Mayor Hinrichs with
Commissioners Johnson and Pou,
spent the day in the rain, looking
after the condition Of streets, pave
ments, crossings, etc. Commissioner
Johnson was especially attentive to
the condition of sewers and paving,
and Commissioner Pou saw to it that
all the aid possible was rendered by
the police and fire departments. The
mayor visited a number Of sections.
Building Inspector Johnson took a
survey of the damage sustained by
tin roofs, frame buildings, signs, etc,
and will have some recommendations
along that line to make, looking to
better buildings. City Electrician
LeBaron and Assistant Harreu were
out practically all day, looking after
the fire and police telephone system.
City Engineer Thornton was very
busy, and Superintendent Sweeney of
the water department was especially
attentive to the water supply. :,

Flag ToWer OF
S.B.A. Is DOuUn

The lofty fagpole, or flag tower,
of the S. B. A, on West Zarragossa
street, was an early victim of the
storm. This steel structure, reach
ing a height of sixty feet or more,
and was surmounted by a pole
about one-third higher. This lofty
flag hoist, erected so that it could
be visible from every part of the
harbor, was the property of the
Stevedores Benevolent Association.
Three times a day, with exception
of national holidays and Sundays,
a man, whose duty it was to do SO,
pulled red flag to the top of the
pole. Many baymen faced the
heavy, driving rains of the after
noon to make trip to the prem
ises and view the wrecked, twisted
remrins of the property in which
they had an interest. The an
nouncement is authorized that the
pole will rebuilt at the earliest pos
sible date.

POLICE RESCUE A
NUMBER Of PEOPLE

Ordinarily Auto No. 26, which Is
in the service of the Pensacola po-
lice department, is not welcomed to
any community, but the yeoman SER
vice performed by No. 26 yesterday
in the lower western part of the city
will not soon be forgotten by large
number of people, the majority of
whom were women and children. In
charge of Chief Sanders, the city au-
to was put to excellent use in riding
to points of safety a number of moth
ers and little ones from points along
the bay front. In some cases the
auto was driven for more than two
miles to the homes of relatives of
the victims residing along the water
front, but the service was rendered
gladly.

FEAR FOR PEOPLE
ON SANTA ROSA

The steam tug Simpson was sent
out early IN the morning for a dozsr,
or so people on Santa Rosa i.ian /.
h'.t Whether she ever reached go is
land is not known. The captain,
however, may have decided to remain
with his steamer in the lee of the
mainland, across the bay.
There were about seven worknen
at the pavilion, and U. s. Deputy
Marshal Arthur Dole was also there.
The Freeman and the Spencer fam
lies, from Birmingham, who were at
the pavilion, numbered about half a
cozen. Then Captain Mackenzie,
keeper of the coast guard station,
with wife and child, were also there.
Deputy Dole's family came to the
city Tuesday afternoon.

CITY HALL DAMAGE
IS REPORTED HEAVY

Damage sustained b ythe city hall
was reported exceedingly heavy, and
during the afternoon the building,
with many windows broken in by the
storm, became almost untenable. Wa
ter on the first floor seeped to the
depth of from one-haf to one inch,
and all the offices in the south part
of the building were flooded. A win
dow was smashed in the building in
spector's Office.
The mayors Office received a tho
rough drenching and Mayor Hinrichs
very early in the day had all rec
ords placed in the vaults. Late in
the afternoon, practically all the of
fees had been thoroughly drenched.

VISITING YACHTS /
. ARE REPORTED SAFE

Practically all the visiting yachts
in port were reported safe last night
although the danger from drifting
wreckage was great.
The Corinthian was moored at the
Central wharf, just south of the
steamer Tarpon, which had returned
to harbor. She rode out the storm
prettily, exposing almost half her
keel as she rose and fell with the
waves. About 6 o'clock, when the
wharf went to pieces, or at least that
portion to which the yachts lines
were fastened, the crowds began to
wonder if the handsome vessel was
going to share the fate of the Swan,
which was wreck few yards north
in the same slip. Lines were passed
over and through the Tarpon to the
wharf, however, and at late hour
the yacht was riding safely.
The Shirin was moored well up IN
the slip between Central and Com
mandencia wharves, and suffered no
damage to speak of, up to a late hour
in the afternoon.
The Spitfre and Wait were an
chored at the Magnolia street city
wharf, and appeared to have been I'M
damaged, and another of the visiting
yachts reported to be the Wait, was
in the EIkan boat shed. The Quick
silver, it was announced, had re-
ported earlier in the day, her arrival
at Biloxi.

NORTH CAROLINA
GOES INTO GULF

Early yesterday morning the cruis-
er North Carolina, which was under
orders to steam for Hampton Roads
today, weighed anchor and headed for
the Gulf. Almost one-third of her
complement of men were aboard, but
a wireless to the aeronautical station,
it was reported, ordered that all men
be sent back to the city and their lib
erty extended. 1t is expected the
North Carolina will return to port
today, take aboard all men and be in
position to proceed to sea when or
dered.

-FOUR WELL.
KNOWN CITIZENS
MAROONEDON BOAT

Four well known citizens will have
a thrilling story to tell when they
are reached and brought ashore. They
are Frank Welles, E. w. Fowler, Jim
McGlory and Captain Macdonald,
who were on the Fishhawk, one of
the Saunders & Co.'s fleet, which was
started for the leeward of the main
land yesterday in tow of the Sea
King. After getting clear of the
docks the lines snapped and the
Flshhawk began to drift over to-
ward the western bay front. Vainly
were efforts made to get another line
to the drifting smack, and the last
seen of the smack was when she
drjfted over to the western bay front
going into shallow water.
The captain of a tug who was over
that way shortly after 2 o'clock in
the afternoon reported the -four
men were safe, but they could not be
reached. The seas showed signs OF
subsiding last night, and early to-
day tugs will be dispatched to take
the men off.
During the afternoon it was va
rIously reported that one or more
fishermen had been lost from the
F.sbhawk, but this proved to be IN.
true upon further investigation.

ELECTRIC COMPANY.
WILL PLACE LARGE.
NUMBER REPAIRING.

I'VE have large crews of track
men and hnemen and will throw
them on the job this Thursday
morning, if the weather breaks, "
said J. G. Holtzclaw, general super
intendent of the Pensacola Electric
Company, to The Journal last night.
I'm all we have about 100 men
ready to restore street car commu-
nication and electric light con-
nection.'
General Manager Hanlon stated
to The Journal that in all proba-
bilily it would be a matter of five
or six days before the railway aud
lighting systems could be rc-estab-
ished. This was the time requisite
after the storm 1906. All the I'M
foreground cables must be dried,
said Mr.. Hanlon, who added that
he would endeavor to beat the
record this year.
Power House Under Water.
With the water two feet deep in
the engine room, on Barracks and
Main streets, just 100 yards from
the bay, which rose by leaps and
bounds, in Wednesdays storm, the
power house went out of business
at 2:30 in the afternoon. Sand bags
availed nothing against the rising
tide.
Power not absolutely needed to
residences, ETC., had already been
cut off at II o'clock.
Street Cars Die.
The city street cars died wherever
they happened to be when the
power company shut down.
Bad Washouts.
Only one car got through on the
Bay Shore line, and it did not gel
back. 1t was the first one to leave
at $50 in the morning. A car thai
went to relieve it had its return GU
off by washout just beyond the
Big Bayou trestle. One mile O
track was washed away, ond the ca
men, to get back, had to swim I
hundred-foot stretch at one place
with the waves breaking badly.
Both bridges on the Bay Shor
line are intact, so far as can be as
certained, but whether they will b
serviceable or whether they wer
weakened by the incessant pounc
ing, has not been ascertained.
All poles here are down.
There is another bad washou
between Donelson street and til

Poles Go Down.
About sixty poles are down i
the city, and wires are snapped

The extent of the damage has n'
been ascertained, but it will ru
