Nearly 800 Now KNOWN to
Have Perished; Shore of
Bay Reported as Strewn
With Bodies of Others
Twenty Soldiers Missing
Heavy Rain Hampers Work
of Relief; Food Situa-
tion Is Growing Acute

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Sept. IT,
Darkness fell on the storm stricken
city of Corpus Christi and environs TO-
night with the list Of dead from Sun
days hurricane lowering around the
800 mark, and with heavy rain, which
fell almost continuously throughout
the day, hampering the work of clearing
the Debris and increasing the suffer
ings of thousands of omeless.
The bay front is lighted tonight by
a score or more huge bonfires which
cast sickly, yellow light over the
wrecked portion of Corpus Christi, add
ing a strange pallor to the scene of
desolation left by. wind and wave. Into
these fires are being cast the carcasses
of cattle drowned when the tidal wave
swept over Mustang Island, which lies
across the mouth of Corpus Christi
Bay.
Heavy rainfall to the east of Corpus
Christi was threatening to stop relief
trains hurrying here over the San An
tonic & Aransas Pass Railway. Last
reports said the Nueces River was ris-
ing rapidly and railway bridge be-
tween Robstown and Odem was in dan
ger Of being carried away.
The food situation, serious from the
outset, took more acute turn to- day
with the arrival Of several hundred
refugees fl ON the surrounding country.
All visitors and sightscers were

pus Christi to-day, saying twenty-five
bodies were at White Point and
twenty-five refugees there were starv-
ing.
All bodies recovered at White Point
will be buried there by a military
squad because Of the lack of collins
here and because no boats arc avail
able with which to transport them
seven miles across the bay
Reports from other smaller towns in
the path of the storm stated the au-
thorities were burying bodies, some
unidentified, as rapidly as possible for
sanitary reasons.
Although business here was at 81
standstill and wire communication de-
moralized, more cheerful spirit
seemed to pervadc the city to-day, due
largely, officials thought, to the arrival
of relief trains with food and supplies
for the thousands made destitute by
the storm.
Many strange incidents arc coming
70 light as the story Of the storm un-
folds.
Floating on the open bay more thar
two days q ten months old baby was
hauled to shore late yesterday, fas.
tened to raft. The baby was alive
and in fairly good condition.
Eli Rollins, of this city, reported
missing, was brought in on relief
train from Robstown, having beer
picked up three miles from Odem
where he was carried on wreckage. HI
was severely bruised about the. fac,
and body and was suffering from ex
