8 NO NEWS OF THE SURVIVORS The Tag Paulsen Sent Alter the Rest ot the Savannah's Passengers. Capt. Savage Goes With Her Back to the Scene of the Wreck—Up to a Late Hour This Morning no News of Her Had Been Received—The Other Pas sengers Waiting Anxiously for Their Return. Up to 3 o’clock this morning no news had been received from the tug Paulsen and its precious freight. The Paulsen was ready in waiting be fore r> o'clock yesterday morning to make the trip to Coffin Point and bring back the women and children who were set afloat on the life boat from the wrecked Savannah. At 5 o'clock Capt. Savage of the Sa vannah. with a rescuing party, among whom was Capt. Lamar, Dr. Lamar's father, left the Exchange dock on this tug to go in search of the passengers who left the wreck and to bring them up to the city. The tug was not expected back until late in the afternoon. LOOKIXG FOB IDE PASSENGERS. Sometime in the afternoon a report was started that the Paulsen had been heard from, and that she was coming back with everyone of the passengers safe on board at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Everybody was then in great expectation that they would soon see the party from the Sav annah that had once been given up for lost. Six o'clock came and no tidings were received. Seven, eight, nine and ten passed, and the crowds that had gathered on the wharves to see the Paulsen land her cargo, began to fear that the tug had had so many difficulties to con tend with that she would not be able to get back until this morning. They began leaving, nnd by midnight the wharves looked as deserted as they did during the storm itself. The conclusion had been reached that the tug would not come until morning, as it had perhaps been de tained through some comfort or some arrangemnt it had to make for the fa tigued and womout passengers whom it went to lind. WAITING TO SEE THEIB FELLOW FASSEN GEKS. Scarcely any of the passengers of the Savannah, who were brought in by the Birmingham, have left the city. They have almost all been wairiug here, pre ferring first to hear of the arrival in safety of their fellow passengers who, perhaps, in the end. had more difficulties to contend with than they did them selves. There was a husband waiting for his wife to return, and a father wait ing for his daughter. There were scores of friends waiting to hear that the ladies and children were all safe. But last night no tidiugs of them came. Receiver Comer, Supt. Kline, Capt. Fleming, Agent Anderson and many others, together with those of the ship wrecked passengers who are still here, were waiting at the De Soto last night un til a late hour to receive the news of the return of the party in safety, but they waited in vain. WILL PROBABLY COME THIS MORNING. At one time the report got about in the city that the Paulsen had arrived. It seemed authentic, or at least so much so that the bus from the De Soto was sent down to bring the party up to the hotel. But the bus returned empty handed. Everyone grew weary of waiting, and, coming to the conclusion that she would not come until morning, they all went home. The survivors are supposed to be where they were landed on Coffin Point on St. Helena Island. They are: Dr. G. VV. Lamar. Mrs. Lamar and two cnildren. Miss. Mary L. Hooker. Mbs. Barrow.. Mrs. John Norman. Ellin A. Norman. Annie Love Mrs. C. Hooper. Mrs. Ellen Wade. ■ Stewardess Old Jane. NOT ON OLD JANE'S ACCOUNT. One of the passengers tells the story on the stewardess. Old Jane, that she is con sidered a kind of Jonah among the super stitious, as shs has been in several wrecks and misfortunes of one kind and another to steamers before this one, and that when she was being lowered into the life boat preparatory to leav ing the wreck of the Savannah she held up her hands and said: "Before God, captain, I didn't bring this on you.” The tug will probably be up this morn ing and will be gladly welcomed by every one In the city. PRAISE FOR CAPT. SAVAGE. Capt. Savage was presented yesterday the following memorial commending his bravery and valor in the handling of his ship and the saving of passengers: We. the undersigned passengers on board the steamship City of Savannah on her trip from Boston to Savannah, August 24, 1893. take this means to testify to our high appre ciation of the skill and bravery of Capt. George C. Savage and his officers and crew, as displayed during the terrible experience of the stranding and loss of his ship. We also wish to give expression to our feeling of thankfulness for the courtesy and kindness with which we were treated by all connected with the ship. The memorial was signed by E. A. Todd, M. D.: John MacDonald, B. A.; William Manning Connell, George Randall. John Norman. George Darlow, Ashley Hooker, Nathan Barrows. M. D.; Edward Prion, John J. Wade, John W. Armstrong, Ed ward P. Hooker, D. D.; Miss May Hooker, Ellen Wade, J. W. Armstrong, Mrs. C. Cooper, Annie Love, Dr. G. W. Lamar. Mrs. Lamar and two children. Miss Nor man, Mas ter Norman, Mrs. Barrows. KIND WORDS FOR CAPT. BURG. Capt. Burg, of the City of Birmingham, Is receiving the highest praise for his bravery and heroism in rescuing the pas sengers from the ill-fated Savannah. The following by the rescued passengers hus bean presented him: We. the undersigned passengers on the ill fated steamship City of Savannah, wish in this leeble way to express our deep and heart felt gratitude to Capt. Burg, of the City of Birmingham and his officers for their hu | inanity and conspicuous bravery in rescuing us from Impending death- Abandoned a* 4 we were hy ail others, they heroically came to j our rescue when all hope seemed to be lost The resolution was signed by George j Randall, 1) A Hooker. E. P. Hooker, W | M. Connell, J MacDonald. John Norman, } Edward Prion, George Darlow. John W. Armstrong, Jonn Wade, E. A Todd. FIRST OrriCRK HAMILTON'S BRAVERY. The passengers of the City of Binning ; ham speak in the highest terms of the conduct of First Officer Hamilton of the Birmingham, who was in charge of the boat sent to take off tbe crew of the wrecked schooner, Joseph Southern, men tion of which was made in yesterday's Morning News. The rescue was accomplished in the short time of 40 minutes under the most trying circumstances. "The seamanlike qualities displayed by Officer Hamilton on this occasion are deserving of the high est praise,” said a passenger yesterday, in speaking of the incident. THE SAVANNAH INSURED. No news having been received from the ill-fated steamer yesterday, it is impossi ble to tell whether any part of the wreck or any of the cargo can be saved. When the City of Savannah was first built in 1877 she cost, as is shown by the last report of Receiver Comer of the Cen tral railroad, $351,862.78, and she was in sured at the time of her loss for $150,000. Mr. Comer said yesterday that he hardly thought that the company will build anew ship just at the present time, as the business hardly warranted it dur ing the greater part of the year. The usual investigation in the case of such a wreck will have to be held, and a report will go to the government as well as to the company. ALMOST BEYOND REPAIR. No Account of ths Damage to the Ty bee Railroad Exaggerated. The Central Railroad officials and others who have examiued into the con dition of the Tybee Railroad since the storm say that none of the reports with regard to the damage done have been ex aggerated and that in some respects it might have been carried even further. General Superintendent Kline and Supt. McNeely have been down the river on a tug and have examined in detail the track from the bridge over Lazaretto creek to the Tybee hotel. They found it in such a bad condition that they will prob ably state in their report that the track will have to be rebuilt if anything at all is done for it, as repairing it with any de gree of satisfaction is practically impossi ble. Of the portion which they examined, the road from Lazaretto bridge to the Tybee hotolis in the worst condition. The track is practically all blown away from that point down to the point of the island itself, having been carried everywhere from 5u to 1,000 feet from its bod. The rails were twisted about as if they were wisps of straw, and the water was at times so high on the island that many of the crossties actually floated away. The portion of tbe line from the Naylor house was not treated quite so badly, though it is practically beyond repairs. In many places it was washed out and in others the sand was piled upon it five or six feet in depth. The least damage is towards the Hotel Tybee, which building itself was practically undamaged except at the kitchen and dining room. It seems to have been better protected in this direction than anywhere else. The Laz aretto bridge is in as bad a condition as it could be not to have been washed en tirely away. That, too, would have to be rebuilt before it would be of any value to the road. Although the track on the island is in had enough condition, the portion of it be tween the Lazaretto bridge and the bridge over the St. Augustine creek is said to be still worse. An exploring party was sent down yesterday to examine this por tion of it, but there were some parts that they could not reach on account of the fact that even tho roadbed in places has been washed away for a considerable dis tance. Here. too. tlie track lias been treated as badly as it was on the island it self. The rails and ties were blown about in the same manner, but the l worst dam age was probably from the washing away of the roadbed, which was rather costly in construction on account of being in such a low marshy place. The engine and three coaches, which are now standing on the remains of the track just opposite the light house, will be brought up to the city next week ou lighters. A party of officials and hands will go down to the scene of the wreck on Monday and arrangements will be made for getting away this part of the prop erty. which is about all of it that is left. Mr. Comer has not determined yet what action he will take with regard to the road. It is evident that the only thing that can be done is to build anew road, and it is evident, too. that the Central has not tlie money even to repair it. much less to build unother road to the island. The future of the Tybee road is therefore un certain. but the people who live down there will have to trust to that future for whatever trnnstiorlation they get to and from the island. The probability is, or it may be called the certainty,that they will have to depend on water routes, at least until next summer comes around. All of tho employes at the Tybee depot vacated the place yesterday except the night watchman. All the books and sup plies wore moved over to the main offices of the Central railroad on West Broad street. There are several passenger coaches at the Tybee depot which cannot be removed until the track is repaired They are all old coaches, however, and are not in any particular demand just now. THE SOUTH BOUND ALL RIGHT. All the Damage Along the Line Fully Repaired Yesterday. The damage to tho track of the South Bound railroad as a result of the storm was fully repaired yesterday and all traius will be running on schedule time to-day. There were numerous washouts all along the line, especially beyond Den mark and going towards Columbia. It was reported on the streets that there was a big washout on the road between Fairfax and Denmark night before last which had resulted in a damage to the track that would cost several thousand dollars to repair. This, however, was a mistake. There was a washout of about forty feet between the two points mentioned, but it was repaired after a few hours’work, and trains were soon running all tho way through from Columbia. This finished up the work of repairing all the bad washouts ou the line, and trains can now run through without any difficulty. The train from Columbia, dud at 8 o'clock last night, arrived at 10 o'clock, two hours late. WHEN WEARY AND LANGUID. Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. When you are weary and languid with the heat of summer, and svuive in vain to keep cool, and your temper also, the use of Horsford’s Acid Phospate will materially aid you.— ad. "So you have had some experience with men this summer.' Well, yes. I refused seven and accepted five."—Life s Calendar. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAV. SEPTEMBER 1, 1803. STILL FINDING THE DEAD, The Fatalities From the Storm Grow Appalling. Twenty Bodies Recovered So Far Around Savannah The Reports From the Sea Islands Almost Be yond Belief —The Harbor Filled With Wrecks and the Entire Coast Strewn With Wreckage -The Dam age to Property Growing Greater Every Day. The number of fatalities from the storm which swept with such terrific and fata! force the entire Georgia and South Carolina coast, will probably never be known. Tbe dead are being picked up every day. But the list of missing will be the only record that will tell the tale of tbe great disaster. The report that six hundred people were drowned on the sea islands is al most too appalling to be believed. The constantly increasing number of fatali ties, however, Is accustoming people to believe almost any report that bears even the slightest mark of authenticity. Twenty bodies have been found so far near Savannah. The last recovered was that of a little colored girl, which floated down the river last night and was picked up opposite the Ocean Steam ship Company’s wharves. TWENTY-POUR BODIES REPORTED FOUND. A report was brought to the city late last night from across the river that twenty-four bodies had been found near Screven's Ferry. The report lacked con firmation, however. While it is not im probable that several bodies have been found there, the number is believed to have been greatly exaggerated. The body of the sailor who was drowned in the bark Harold on Tybee beach is reported to be still in the vessel. The loss of life seems to have been greater north of Tybee, on the South Carolina coast than to the southward. Not a single fatality has been reported below Tybee. The revenue cutter Boutwell and the steamers running be tween here and Darien have patrolled every ’navigable river and inlet. Mr. C. Oemler found a coat on Wilmington Island yesterday morning hanging up in a tree, where the water had left it, with a pistol in the pocket. The coat had probably been left in a boat by its owner, and was carried away by the storm. Whether the owner is lost is unknown. Searching parties are out on all the islands looking for the dead, and to rescue any who may have been cut off from reach and are still alive. The coast is strewn with the wreckage of vessels which tells the story of the loss of probably hundreds of lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars in ship ping. THE WRECK OF THE NETTIE MURPHY. The story of the experience of Captain Cosmou. of the British ship Nettie Mur phy, which was wrecked (luring the hur ricane, and of the crew taken off the vessel bo the Norwegian brig Medea, whioh arrived at Tybee Wednesday is told In his own words. Captain Cosmon says: "On Aug. 26. we got an increased wind from the northeast. About Monday it bad increased to a strong gale. W’hile the ship was on the port tack, about 6 o’clock in the evening, it was blowing a living hurricane from the same quarter. On the morning of the 27th it continued to blow, with even more force, if such a thing cotild be possible. About 8 o’clock the wind started to veer to westward and the deck load on the port side began to break up and go overboard. There was no let up iu the force of tile storm up to midnight, when it moderated a little. The starboard dock load was all gone by this time, and the ship fell down on her port beam ends, and as there was such a mountainous sea running, in the short space of about fifteen minutes we had nothing left on deck. EVERYTHING CARRIED AWAY. “The fore house, hatches, stanchions and pits around the mizzen mast, the pumps, water tanks and everything were washed overboard. The after house was then gutted and all the boats were gone. At 3 o'clock on Monday, the 38th, we were taken off by the Norwegian brig Medea, while in latitude 29° 26' north and longi tude 79° 16’ west. When we left the ship she was lying very low in the water, and the decks wore beginning to break up. Tbe vessel was head to the west, and she was listed heavily to starboard.” Capt. Cosmon has telegraphed the owners of the Nettie Murphy, giving them a description of tho disaster. Mr. Walter Robertson, the British vice consul, will take charge of the ship wrecked seamen until the owners of the vessel are heard from. fllE GENESTA AFLOAT. The bark Genesta which was blown across the railroad track at Tybee from quarantine got off yesterday and wont down Oyster creek to a more comfortable resting place. It will be remembered that she was driven by storm of Sunday night from the quarantine station across the marshes and fetched up on McQueen’s Island. No one has had any communica tion with the vessel since her mishap, as she is still under quarantine law, but it is supposed that she rested near the edge of Oyster creek, a short water course that juts into McQueeirs Island, and the captain, after getting rid of his ballast, warped her into the creed. She can be towed from Oyster creek around through Lazaretto creek into the Savan nah river. If the vessel is where she is stated to be, she not only passed over Long Island and South ohundel during tho hurricane, but the Tybee railroad track and McQueen s Island as well, and can be put down as a lucky ship. Strachau & Cos., the agents of the ves sel. will send a tug down to her this morning, and will probably tow • her through the creek safe into the river. THE ISABELLA GILL MISSING. The schooner Isabella Gill, Capt. Col lison, is still missing. - She was in tho storm, if reports are true that she sailed last week from Port Royal with a cargo of phosphate rock. The Isabella Gill is' a regular trader on the coast, and fre quently comes to this port. She arrived here on the lltli of last month witli a cargo of coal for C. H. Dixon & Cos., and after discharging sailed for Port Royal for the cargo of rock, which is supposed to have carried her to the bottom of the sea. The schooner Jennie Thomas, which is waterlogged off Cape Fear, and the schooner Leiia Smith, which is on the beach at Tybee. arrived at this port in company with the schooner Isabella Gill on the 10th of August. The schooner Leonard A. Burnham, Captain from this port on last Friday, f#'Portland, Maine, with a heavy cargo of lumber. She has not been heal'd from, and as she was in the midst of the storm, and being an old vessil there is little hope that she weathered it. The Burnham was a regular trader with this port and the captain is well known in this city. NOTHING HE(kRD OP THE I IVEKi'I } The schooner Ida Lawrvr.ee, Certain ' Campbell, is another , ' the missing ves sels which encountered the storm last (Sunday. She sailed from this port on the 23d with a cargo of lumb* r for Phila delphia. shipped h, E B Hinting A Cos. Captain Campbell i* ou of the most pop | ularly known roofers along the coast: lie | has been trading between this city snd j the northern ports for a number of years. Tbe three-mast,■d schooner Enchant ress of New York. Capt Frank Rallent, is ashore twenty-five miles south of Cape Fear, with deck load lost: cabin and fore castle were washed away. The mate was washed overboard Sunday night and drowned. The captain is considerably in jured. The men were three days without food or water. The Enchantress sailed from Beaufort, S. C.. on August 23. for New York, with a cargo of railroad ties. Nothing has yet been heard from the schooner Henry B. Ritter. Capt. Peter son, which sailed from Savannah on the 22d with a cargo for New York. Capt. Peterson has many friends in this city who have great apprehension for his safety. The cargo was shipped by Dale, Dixon &Cos. —- The Norwegian bark Aurora. Koss, from London, which arrived yes terday. did not encounter the storm, be ing to the east of tne eulf last Sunday; but she was in the heavy seas which filled the ocean from the effects of the hurricane. Capt. Koss reports having sighted the wreck of the Norwegian bark Dagny, iu latitude 31 l> -10' and longitude 79M5', last Tuesday. The vessel was waterlogged, dismasted and abandoned. The Dagny, Capt. Eskelund, sailed from Mobile for Belfast with a cargo of timber on August 10th. She was LOftS tons register. The Swedish steamship Hespania, Capt. Jansen, arrived below yesterday. She is from New Orleans to take a cargo of cot ton for Genoa. The vessel is consinod to Strauss & Cos., of this city. Capt. Jansen reports that he had fair weather since last Saturday, when he sailed, and had a pleasant trip with the exception of seeing the ocean in this vicinity filled with wreckage from the , large number of dis tressed and abandoned vessels which were disabled by the cyclone last Sunday. THE JENNIE THOMAS WRECKED AGAIN. A telegram received yesterday by Jos. A. Roberts from Southport, N. C.. stated that the schooner Jennie Thomas was waterlogged and anchored, .at sea, about 25 miles off Cape Fear, and the mate, Mr. Sund had come ashore to get a tugboat to go to her assistance. A later telegram stated that the tug boat had started to the distressed vessel. The mate reports that all on board are safe. The schooner Jennie Thomas, Captain Young, sailed from Savannah for Balti more on Thursday Aug. 23 with a cargo consisting of 269,879 feet of lumber and 8,001 railroad crossties. measuring 256,- 032 feet, shipped by Dale, Dixon & Cos. The cargo was insured for $0,754 in the Boston Murine Insurance Company, repre sented by John Sullivan & Cos., of this city. Seven eighths of the schooner Jennie Thomas is owned by parties in Savannah, Mr. Meritt W. Dixon controlling the man aging interest in her. She is named after a daughter of D. K. Thomas, the coal dealer. The vessel originally cost about $35,000, and out of the twenty-eight shares owned and held by Savannahians there are about twelve of them covered by in surance. This is the third time during this year that the schooner has met with disaster. She was damaged in a storm on Jan. 14 while on a trip from Savannah to Balti more, and also met with a serious loss while in a storm on her return trip to this city iu February. The British barkentino Mexico h&s suc ceeded in getting out of the pen of piling which had encircled her at the quaran tine station, after the storm. Her novel position will no longer be seen or won dered at, as she is now in the middle of the Savannah river and will come to the city to load with naval stores as soon as released from quarantine. THE CUTTER MORRILL’S PATROL. On Wednesday the revenue cutter Lot M. Morrill, stationed at Charleston, made a trip to Kiawah Island, Beaufort county, about thirty miles from Hunting Island, to render assistance, if possible, to the missing yachts of the Carolina Yacht Club. The Morrill’s people at that time had not heard of the disaster to the City of Savannah. Of the trip the News and Courier of yesterday says: "The miss yachtsmen were found safe. Capt. Blake hearing it rumored that an oar and a body had been found on Kiawah beach, which probably belonged to the steam ship City of Savannah, ordered the Mor rill at once to the scene. At daylight on the following morning one of the cutters, under the command of Lieut. Thompson, carrying Messrs. Earle Sloan and Arthur Simons, proceeded by way of Bass creek to the front Beach of Kiawah Island. A 'SICKENING SCENE. “Here a scene sickening with apprehen sion reveals over a scope of ten miles de molition. The wreckage of the steamer City of Savannah, cabin doors, saloon chairs, mahogany steps, washstands, mahogany balustrads and steps, as well as cushions, pillows and hundreds of life preservers, many stamped City of Savan nah, strew r the beach intermingled with fragments of the hard wood finish of,the saloon, pieces of life boats and some of the heavy timbering of her superstruc ture. “The party was resolved into a wide search line, proceeding along miles of the ocean front, swimming inlets and creeks and wading marshes in their efforts to discover the bodies of the probably un fortunate ones. None were found. The extent of beach covered by the debris which the natives advised as extending to Seabrook's Island suggests that the steamer probably foundered fifteen or more miles from shore. The horizon carefully examined revealed the un broken sea. “It is the opinion that a vital casualty at such a distance would not afford its dead to the beaches for some days yet. Dili gent inquiry satisfied the party that the natives have as yet found none beyond the cutter's organized lino of search. That one thread of hope may be vet ex tended to the anxious ones, who, through sympathy and nearer bonds, hold dear the lives on this ship. It may be said that not one article of personal property was found—no wearing apparel, no hand bags, no trunks. The damage may have been confined to the upper saloon. This is a slender hope. CONDITION OF THE NATIVES. “The condition of the natives on Kiawah Island is the subject of the most touching pity. The cyclone destroyed their entire crops, much of their small stock, and with the tide enteriug their houses, swept from them their few personal belongings. Many were on the beach stripping the canvas from the life preservers to be used for making clothing. Cue colored boy, whose name could not be ascertained, was asserted to have been drowned in one of the neighboring inlets. "The Morrill returned to Charleston last night that those calamities might be ad tised for the prompt and intelligent guidance of interests and of charities. Capt. Blake's warm response to the ap prehensive friends of the Carolina Yacht Club lays that association under tribute of tho warmest appreciation. This is especially shared by the two members accompanying tbe Morrill, the lavish courtesy of whose other officers, Lieuts. Thompson nnd Van Baskerek, is a charm ing obligation. BODIES ON MATTRESSES. "Capt. Haskell, of the schooner Morris W. Child, which arrived at quarantine here in distress on Tuesday evening, be ing bound from Brunswick to Boston, re ports that he passed the bodies of six BAKING POWDER. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Dtffol Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE dead men, with life preservers on, twenty miles east of Savannah. They were sur rounded by wreckage, a part of which was mattresses. “The report that Capt. Haskell passed six men floating, almost lifeless, was in correct. He rescued the captain and crew of the schooner Harold C. Beecher. The captain of the Beecher also saw the six dead bodies floating. THE FORCE OF THE WIND. “ThegeEtlemen who went down to Kia waji on the cutter Morrill reported that along the whole line of the beach which they covered In their search for the dead from the steamship City of Savannah they had found numberless dead sea gulls. The birds had been washed upon the shore with the other wreckage from the storm. They brought back to the city with them many of the articles which they found on the beach—saloon chairs, life preservers and other fixtures, which had once belonged to the ill-fated steamer. ” DAMAGE AT FORT PULASKI. Dr. L. E. Cofer, United States marine hospital surgeon, reports that consider able damage was done at Fort Pulaski in the quarantine quarters by the storm. The water poured in through thfe ports and was knee deep in the rooms and on the parade. Everything was set afloat, bedding, furniture, cooking utensils and other supplies provided by the govern ment for the equipment of the detention hospital at the fort. The keepers waded about all night trying to keep the most valuable articles out of water. They were in no danger of their lives, but had a very unpleasant time of it. Dr. Cofer tried to get a tug Tuesday to take down a force of men to save the supplies.sbut was not able to secure one. He finally secured Capt. Carter's tug, the Angler, and sent her down Wednesday with a force of men to clean up the fort and save the stock of supplies from further damage. There was only a small supply of provisions in the fort and the loss on this score did not amount to much. The fort will be put in order at once. THE DAMAGE AT SAPELO. The captain of the Bellevue, which ar rived yesterday from Darien, reported to Dr. Brunner that considerable damage hud been done at the government quaran tine station at Sapelo, amounting proba bly to several thousand dollars. The magnificent boat house, the pride of the station, was entirely swept away. The wharves of the disinfecting plant were left intact, but the ballast lighter was carried away. There was some damage to the houses, but the quarantine officers are all safe. VESSELS ASHORE AT SAPELO. Capt. Garnett reported several wrecks. The bark Mary (j. Reed, from Cienfue gos, for Brunswick, which was ordered to Sapelo from Brunswick, parted her cables during the gale and went ashore in the marsh between Sapelo and Black Beard Islands in Sap elo sound. Her master came to Savan nah yesterday. He expects the vessel can be saved. The stern wheel steamer Mascot of Brunswick was washed several miles up into the marsh, and it is hardly possible that she can be gotten out. Two unknown Norwegian barks were lying wrecked in the marsh near Sapelo. The Portuguese bark Sofola was ashore near Doboy. The two-masted schooner Ferreta is in the marsh at Doboy. AT THE BLOODY POINT LIGHT. The keeper of the Bloody Point alight sbip on Daufuskie Island says that tbe station is almost a total wreck. The oil room, kitchen and boathouse were torn from their foundations. The brick piers were torn out and two of the buildings were washed 500 yards up on the island. The oil cans and all the property of the station were washed away and the dwelling came near going. Tbe seas dashed clean through the house. At 2 o’clock Monday morning the keeper, car rying his Ills children and leading his wife, waded waist deep three-quarters of a mile to a house. The rear light keeper lost all his quarters and other things, but was able to keep his lights going all right. Not a single white person on the island came near or offered to render any assist ance to the keeper or his family. The keeper picked up ten cans of oil on the beach after the storm. A HEAVY LOSS AT QUARANTINE. Mayor McDonough estimates that the damage to the Savannah quarantine sta tion by tho storm will amount to $15,001). Both the upper and lower quar antine stations are totul wrecks. There is nothing left at the upper station except the piling ou which the wharves stood and at the lower sta tion only the quarantine officer’s house remains and that is in a damaged condi tion. Tho new fumigating plant is unhurt. The plant was placed upon very strong foundations when built which withstood the storm splendidly. The city is advertising for bids for rais ing the three hoisting engines sunk at the quarantine station. Temporary en gines will be sent down to do the work until the sunken engines are replace!. NOT LIKELY TO BE REBUILT. Mayor McDonough does not think that the upper quarantine station will be re built. He thinks that it will be better in rebuilding to locate all the wharves at the lower station. This will be much more convenient than having two stations half a mile apart mak ing it necessary for the quarantine officer to make frequent trips between them. The quarantine officer’s house is at the lower station. It will also cost less to build a single large station than to build two separate stations. There is ample room for a number of ships to swing at anchor at the lower quarantine, and it is considered much the better location for many reasons. CLEARING THE STREETS. The city has been dense with smoke for the last two days from the hundreds of brush fires in the stroets and squares. Two hundred men have been at work cutting away the broken branches of trees and clearing the streets. All the scavenger wagons were loaded with the heavy brush, and since Monday have been hauling it away. The leaves are raked into ‘ piles and burned on the streets. By the end of the week the wreckage of the'storm will have been entirely removed. The park is still filled with broken trees and branches. The walks have been clean'd, however, and the removal of tho brush will be finished in a few da vs. Trees are being cut down only when they are broken so that they cannot be straight ened. Some portions of the park look like* a wood yard from the wood that is cut from tbe shattered trees. Languor, loss of appetite and strength, Nervous and neuralgic headaches Promptly cured by Bromo-Seltzer.—ad. REPAIRING THE BRIDGES. Maj. Blajidford Pushing the Work in the County as Rapidly as Possible. The people who live at Isle of Hope and points on other roads at a considerable dis tance from the city, have experienced no small amount of trouble since the storm in moving to and from the city over the county roads. The bridges were all washed away with few exceptions, and some of those that were not carried away by the storm were so badly undermined that they soon fell from their positions. In well settled communities like the Isle of Hope, this washing away of the bridges has caused no little inconvenience. The bridge on the Vernon shell road, too, is gone, but for that the county is not responsible, as that road belongs to a private corpora tion and will have to repair its own damage. County Engineer Blandford is on the alert for any damage done for which the county is made the sufferer, and he sent a crew of hands out to the bridge on the Skidaway road yesterday, the lumber having been sent out the day before, and set them to work repairing the washed away bridge on this road which leads to the Isle of Hope. Another crew vas also put to work on the washouts on the road, which were numerous. He hopes by the end of this week to have the road in a thoroughly good condition, and he assures the people who live out that way that he will use every effort iu his power to have it done by that time. He is having the most important roads and bridges re paired first, and will complete the entire work without delay as early as possible. In his work in the county Maj. Bland ford uses every effort to keep every spot with which he has anything to do in a thoroughly sanitary condition. He says that the flood from the storm and the salt water which covered tho marshes has torn up and killed large quantities of veg etation, which was drifted up in heaps by the action of the wind, and this veg etation is now lying everywhere in huge masses, now decaying under the heat of the September sun. What to do with it he does not know. He says it would tako a thousand wagons working for sometime to cart it all away; but then even with that comes the vexing problem, where is it to be cartod? This decay ing vegetation is no doubt producing a very unsanitary condition throughout the county, and there should be some means by which the situation could be relieved. LITTLE DAMAGE AT WARSAW. The Island Escaped the Storm's Wrath. Dr. A. Oemler, who spent Sunday night on Warsaw with his family during tho storm, reports that the damage there was very slight. The only damage to the pavilion was the undermining of the pillars of the piazza on the side next to the ocean, causing the piazza to sag down. No glass even in the pavilion were blown out, which appears wonderful, considering the number that were broken by the wind in the city. Expecting that the glass would be blown out of the windows of the pavilion, Dr. Oemler and his family took refuge in a small house near by. Some limbs of trees were blown down on the roof. The wharf at Warsaw was not carried away, only a few of the plank being loosened. Dr. Oemler reports that the cross ties from the Tybee railroad are lying all over his field on Wilmington Island, a distance of about three miles from the railroad. The damage on Wilmington Island was also slight. PICKED UP DELIRIOUS. William Hauard Taken Aboard by the Captain of the Bellevue.* William Hazard, who used to keep a ship chandler's shop down on Dog Ham mock, near Sapelo, was picked up near Darien, said Capt. Garnett of the steamer Bellevue yesterday, in a small sloop rigged boat. Capt. Garnett returned yes terday from Darien. Hazard had been out sixteen hours without food or water, and he was suffering terribly from the pangs of thirst and hunger. Ho had stood it until he became delirious. Hazard’s store and stock were entirely swept away by the water, nnd when he saw that it was going, he made for a small sloop yacht which he owned and determined to risk v his chances in her. From that time he was out sixteen hours, until he became delirious, when he was picked up and taken care of. RECEIVING TO-DAY. Fresh After the Cyclone at Estill’e News Depot, 21 1-2 Bull Street.
