REPORT Drowning
AND THREE MISSING
Coast Guardsman at Smith
Island Tells of Huge
Damage.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, August 25.-J. M.
Darcroft, attached to the Coast Guard
Station at Smith Island, off the coast
of Northampton County, Va, said over
long distance telephone last night that
the storm Of hurricane force which
swept the Virginia coast had taken
terrific toll in that section.
One child was reported drowned, he
said and three others were reported
missing.
Homes along the Atlantic coastline
were destroyed, including several costly
buildings. in addition to the simple
homes of fisher folk.
Small fishing craft were swept away
from the mooringS or broken into spin
ters on the shore by the force OF the
waters that were laShed into fury
by the winds of hurricane velocity.
Darcroft said he believed conserva-
tive estimate of the loss In the area
would be S500,000
Hog Island, which unverified reports
said was under water, lay 20 miles
northward and was not in communica-
ton with the Hog Island Station.
Coast Guardsmen said that Hog
Island undoubtedly had taken a terrific
beating and told of previous storms, less
severe. when inhabitants had found it
necessary to fee for safety They said.
however, they had heard of no loss
of life.
Coast Guard Stations at Wacha-
preague, Cobb Island, Metomkin Island
and Parramore Island were all but de-
stroyed by the waves. and the land
forces of from 10 to II men In each
station were forced to flee for safety.
Dareroft said that all information
seeping south to Smith Island. near the
sbuthernmoSt tip of Eastern Shore, was

the storm began has been Boatswain
T. T. Moore. head Of the Ocean City
Coast Guard unit. He has been aided
by the volunteer fire department, and,
since the let-up of the storm, by be-
tween 800 and 400 State workers.
I'VE first began to realize storm
was on hand Sunday morning." Moore
said yesterday Gradually the wind
heightened and the waves began beat
ing heavier and heavier against the
ocean front. began to receive phone
calls about what to do. The actual
storm began Tuesday. The Coast
Guardsmen donned beathing suits and
began to answer calls for aid.
Most Of the calls were from fami-
lies who were marooned by the water.
Others wanted us to help them save
their boats. One family had already
left its home and had taken refuge In
a railroad box car and the water was
steadily mounting. As quickly as pos
sible all calls were answered. One old
gentleman clucked his tongue and
danced jig after he was put down at
a safe spot"
Moore denied that the Coast Guard
had ordered that the city be evacuated.
and that no more people be allowed to
come from the mainland. II had no
such authority" he said. when my
counsel was asked I advised people to
leave II their homes were threatened,
although reassured others who wanted
to stay by telling them my own family
was remaining on the island"
Among the vacationers on the island
who still are remaining is group Of
about so students from Catholic Uni
versity at Washington, D. c., who have
their own house.
Worst He has Seen.
Boatswain Moore said the storm was
the worst he had ever seen during 80
years experience with the Coast Guard
at Ocean City. J. L. Truitt, q farmer
in a nearby section, said he recalled
one back In 1873 or 1879 that was Just
as bad
From Tuesday until about noon
Thursday the Coast Guard unit labored
continuously in their bathing suits, eat
ing only an occasional sandwich and
never pausing for sleep.
Today the beach presents a con-
trasting sight with the vacationers'
paradise of last week. Few Of the
amusement concessions on the board
walk are still operating. The fronts of
most Of them were battered in by the

step cautiously to avoid rusty nails and
broken panes. Wicker boardwalk chairs
huddle unheeded in an alcove. The
beach itself is deserted and the waves
breaking upon it are still angry and
strong.
Yet along with property damage
totaling unknown thousands. the Ocean
