GIRL SW|MS FOR
HOURS TO Save
SMALL BROTHER
Stories of Heroic Rescues al
Corpus Christi Are
Told.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 17.-Out
of the tragedy Of Sundays storm a
wealth of romance, that rivals any
thing to be found on the bloody bat
tie fields Of France, is being revealed
with the bringing in Of storm refu-
gees. The hardships and sufferings
of some of the victims beggar de-
scription. Only their courage and
logged determinat ton brought them to
safety.
Of the many tales Of personal hero
ism none that has come to light ex-
ceeds that of Esther Fuller, II years
of age, who swan five miles through
the waters of Nueces Bay, towing and
carrying the unconscious form of her
nine-year- old brother, Ted, with her.
When her story became known, a
movement was launched to secure for
her the coveted Carnegie hero medal
To her the feat was a matter Of
course.
"Why, what else should do?" said
she when her attention was called to
it. 81 couldn't leave him to drown
and go on alone, could II"
Esther and Ted were swept into
the tidal wave when their home was
carried away during the height of
the storm Sunday afternoon. The
boy was hit by piece of debris while
struggling in the water and rendered
unconscious.
The girl grabbed him just as he
started down and began her battle
with the wind and waters. Making
use of every bit of driftwood and
wreckage that came her way, she
struggled on, some times clinging to
housetop, and at others only a
board. At other times, she was forced
to swim until almost exhausted before
another piece of wreckage came with
in her reach.
For five miles she fought the hur-
brother were finally washed ashore
on the opposite side of the bay, where
they were found early Monday morn
ing by rescue parties, Ted still suf-
fering from his injury. Both were
taken to Sinton, and later brought
here. Esther, although suffering
from exposure and exhaustion, was
practically uninjured.
With both arms in sling and his
head bandaged, Eli Rollins of this
city, entered the Red Cross head
quarters this morning wanting to
know if "there is anything l can do
to help"
Rollins was in the waters for over
eight hours when he and his wife
and son were caught in the fury of
the tidal wave that carried their
home away. When rescued, he was
found to be severely injured about the
head and hands.
His wife and son went down, buC
this morning after the surgeons had
dressed his wounds, he went to Red
Cross headquarters, not for aid, but
to offer his aid to other victims Of
the waves whose needs were greater
than his.
To go down while in the line
of duty was the fate of Sister
That's, one of the nurses at the
Spohn Sanitarium. Sister That's
heard a patient in another ward
calling for aid and rushed to re-
spond. AS she opened the door,
a gigantic wave, carrying on its
crest some heavy drifting tim
bers, struck the corner of the
building in which the room was
located and tore it from the build
ing. Her body has not yet been
found.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. IT,
Darkness fell on the storm stricken
city of Corpus Christi and environs
tonight with the list Of dead from
Sundays hurricane lowering around
the 300 mark and with a heavy rain,
which fell almost continuously
throughout the day, hampering the
work of clearing the debris and in
creasing the sufferings of thousands
Of homeless. All attempts at identi-
flying the bodies had been abandoned
because of their decomposed condition
and burial parties sent out along the
shores Of Nueces Bay were hurrying
the corpses to nearby towns for in
terment.
The bay front is lit up tonight by
a score or more huge bonfires which
cast a sickly light over the wrecked
portion Of Corpus Christi, adding a
strange pallor to the scene Of desola-
ton left by wind and wave. Into
these fires are being cast the car
casses Of cattle drowned when the
tidal wave swept over Mustang Is
land, which lies across the mouth of
Corpus Christi Bay.
Heavy rainfall to the east of Cor
pus Christi was threatening to stop
relief trains hurrying here over the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail
way. Last reports said the Nueces
river was rising rapidly and that a
railway bridge between RobstoWn and
Odom was in danger of being carried
away.
Food Situation Acute.
Tho food cifuatiOn SariOJS from
the outset, took more acute turn
today with the arrival of several
hundred refugees from the surround
ing country. Most of these were cot
ton pickers who had been left desti-
tute as the result of the destruction
of all cotton fields in this section.
The fear was freely expressed to-
night that when the limited food
stocks in surrounding towns is ex-
hausted, more than 10000 persons
would become entirely dependent upon
relief supplies now being brought
here unless the railroad situation i'm
proves.
All visitors and sightseers were
warned to remain away from Corpus
Christi, on pain of being met at the
train with shovel and put to work
clearing away debris. by Mayor Cor
don Boone and Roy Miller, chairman
of the citizens relief committee, in a
joint statement tonight: There is
sufficient labor here for all needs, the
statement says and in view Of the
acute food situation, every additional
mouth to feed adds an unnecessary
drain on the citys' meager resources

LEGION NoN-PARTISAN?

Although we have been constantly assured that the American Legion will be strictly non partisan" Col. Henry D. Lindsley, director of the war risk insurance bureau, just returned from the convention in St. Louis. says that the A. L. will run the nation in a few years" Pressed for more light, Colonel LIndsley said he meant that the veter- an soldiers and sailors will consti- tute a mighty moral and spiritual fierce capable of molding odblic senti- ment on all questions" Still, if the colonel will closely question any re- publican and at least some democrats he will discover that no individual or body of individuals can run the na- ton without partisansnip. The coioners prophecy means something CT it means nothing.
