 Tells of Miami Ruins
 Mir. and Mrs. Fred Marshall have returned from Florida. having been forced to cancel their planned trip there on account of the hurricane. They were several hours out of Miami when word was received of the disaster, but they arrived in that city in time 10 see the wreckage. and MT. Marshall tells graphic tales of the ruin wrought by the wind.
 The captain of the boat on which they were passengers withheld the news from them, fearing q riot, until almost in port. He then told them Ithe worst and advised vacationists to take the same boat back again. The Marshalls, upon landing. took a trip about the smashed city In taxi. MT. Marshall says that there were no tel tephoncs, lights. or water. and people went about in bathing suits, all their clothing having been spoiled by the water. The large buildings had been destroyed, but, curiously enough, the small huts seemed to have escaped the boreal fury. Miami Beach was completely ripped to pieces and wip- ed off the map.
 ] No men were allowed to leave the city by train. all being forced 10 re- main and work. The Marshalls were therefore forced 10 forcgo the trip they had planned and return home. In spite of the disaster. the Miamians maintained their hospitality. and Mr. Marshall says he received several of- ferS of places to stay. Salvage work i was going on rapidly; the causcway. which was turned into a litter of trees, poles and twisted steel build ings by the wind, was cleared within F24 hours, he said.
