The mooting indorsed the appeal of Robert Smalls, to the public, published in the Morning News yesterday. AT PORT ROYAL. At Port Royal the wharves and ware houses arc badly damaged. It is impos sible to make an estimate of the loss. Mr. Campbell, merchant,at Port Royal, says his loss will be SB,OOO. He states that at one time the entire town of Port Royal was five feet under water. The bark Uluru MeGtlverv, which was loaded at the Pacific Phosphate Com pany’s work, for Carteret, N. J., and ready to sail, is now high and dry in the marsh. She will no doubt be wrecked. Captain Gilkey and all hands are well. The schooner George Senll rode tho tempest and is safe. The tug Stono is in a rice field, about 400 yards from the wa ter. The dredge Wimpy was found bot tom up. No lives were lost on her. Thirty-two bodies, all colored, were found between St. Helena Island bridge and Beaufort ferry. It is estimated that between 700 to HOO lives were lost. At Spann's plantation, Kean’s Neck, thirty seven were killed. It is estimated that between 8,(X)0 and 10,000 inhabitants of the sea islands are entirely destitute. The cotton crop is ruined, and the phosphate industry so badly crippled that work will be sus|>ended. There Is talk of appealing to the governor of the state, asking the suspension of tho roy alty on phosphate rock. PILOT BOATS ASHORE. All the pilot boats, five in number, are ashore. One. the Loo, will have to be abandoned, being one-half mile from wa ter. It is estimated that it will cost *5,000 to float the other four boats. The Palmetto sank at the dock at Port Royal. The pilots had narrow escapes of their lives in leaving her. AT THE NAVAL STATION. The damage and loss of life at tho na val station was much greater than at first thought. Up to yesterday twenty fit e bodies hud been recovered. Twenty four of them were colored and oue white —that of Dr. Hazel, the new quarantine officer. The new dry duck is filled with water and mud. It will require some time to clear it, - nd until that is done nothing tan bo told of any other damage that it may have sustained. A ll the boats about the naval docks were badly damaged. on the Coosaw kiver. The dredge John Kennedy, costing $175,000. is a total wreck, being atthobot tom of the Coosaw river, and will no doubt be abandoned. Assistant Engineer M rtin ljahu and colored fireman Phia- Sej, wi re drowned. >ljo store of Mr. Pape, ship chandler, at Coosaw island was washed a-.vnv and th roe men drowned. This store did the iLos*. flourishing business on tin- island. The Sea Island < Ihetni -a! Company lost two dredges washed up on their docks. Their wharves are washed awav. The lost to this compan;.is estimated at Aloo,- Ouj. The Baldwin Fertilizer < lorn Jinny lost their bridges, engines and attachments tracks, cars, etc., and their large ware house was unroofed. Mr. Sere-veil s-ivs in case the plant is stopjiod the loss v.-iil bo $25,000, us the a. id chambers will run over. ’ ; he tug Ivanhoe is bottom upwards, and will bo abandoned. The tugs Ida. Kent and Catharine are from one-half to oue mile in thenmrshes. but can be gotten out at great expense. The entire Coosaw pa ut is fiat to the ground. It is thought the company will not rebuild. ON BULL RXtEK fhe warhouses and wharves are entirely swept away, and dredges are ou the marsh bottom up. The Coosaw Company's j dredges, five in number, are all sunk Tho j Broth erh ood Com pany s dredge in Coosa • river is also sunk, uml the Oglethorpe, Paulsen's dredge in Coosaw river, is lot tom up. Three men were drowned with ' her. among whom was Mr Henderson, i engineer. None of the bodies have as yet ; been recovered. The Earn,era Mining Company lest their dredge.and their boat Is high on the beach. Their plant is partially destroyed. ON LADIES’ ISLAND. The Farmers' Mining Company's works on Ladies' Island sustained great damage The water front and wharves were all earrled away, the plant ruined and their dredges. Columbia aud Delaware, sunk. NO FATALITIES YET KNOWN, The report that a number of dead todies of negroes had been found at Screven’s ferry was investigated yester day and found to be untrue. Several gentlemen who own plantations on the Carolina side have gone over the ferry and they- heard of no loss of life The plantations on the Carolina side of tho river are very low and it is likely that a number of drownings occurred there. What loss of life if. any there was, will hardly lie known until the waters recede. It is known that some of the houses on the plantations were damaged, and it is probable that some of their occupants were drowned. There was large loss of life on the plan tations on the Carolina side in the storm of lS*il, the number of deaths by drown ing being estimated at 80. Bodies were found on the plantations on both sides of the river for mouths afterwards, and many were missing after the storm who were never heard of again. WRECKS ALL ALONG. The barkentine Clara E. McGilvery, Oapt. Gilkey, was wrecked at Coosa w, where she had loaded with phosphate for Carteret, N .1 The captain and the crew were brought hero on the tug Paul sen yesterday. Capt. Gilkey came over on the Forest City. The vessel was blown from her moorings and down a quarter of a mile on land. Tho s -hooner Meyer and Muller, of Bel fast, Maine. Capt. Patterson, was wrecked at Bull Point Light, beach. She was from New York for Jacksonville. All hands were saved and the crew was brought to Savannah. The pilot boat Leo is ashore on Cumbee bank. Reports from Port Royal state that the docks arc a total wreck. Capt. Massonof the “Martin's Industry” lightship is reported dying. He had throe ribs broken, and being an old man he will hardly recover. The lightship dragged her anchorage about three miles. RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS. S. Ouokenhelmer & Sons to Send. SSOO Worth of Provisions to Beaufort for the Island Sufferers. Messrs. S. Guekenheimer & Sons re ceived a telegram yesterday from Mr. J. J. Dale of Beaufort, who Is in New York. Mr. Dale is a large merchant who owns several stores at St. Helena Island. He wired Mr. Ouckenheimer to send as soon as possible, S4OO worth of good grits by the tug Bessie, or any other good boat to St. Helena, or wherever it was needed. He stated in his telegram that several members of tho produce exchange and Chas. F. Mattlago, a prominent mer chant of Beaufort, authorized tho buying of that amount. Mr. Guekenheimer wired back at once that he would ship the grits this after noon, as it was impossible to do so before. He subscribed slooadditional in behaif of his firm, and asked If it were not possible to get the New York World to get up a subscription list for the sufferers in that locality. He also wired Mr. W. H. Lockwood, chairman of the relief committee at Beaufort, stating that he bad reccivod a telegram from Mr. Dale asking for the shipment of S4OO worth of grits to St. Holena, and asked if he should send the SIOO which his firm subscribed In currency or pro visions, and if in provisions, what kind was wanted. He asked also, if the people of Beaufort desired that a subscription list be started In Savannah for the sufferers on the sea islands. On account of tho bad condition of the wires, he did not hear from Beau fort last night. He may get an answer to-day, however, and it is probable that a subscription list will be startod here at once. CONDUCT OF THE TUGS. Oapt. Phillips Says They Did All That It Was Possible to Have Done. Capt. T. D. Phillips of the stoamer Pilot Boy, of Charleston, arrived in the city yesterday on the tug Forest City. His boat is lying high and dry under the bluff at Beaufort. Capt. Pbil’i.is brings the first accurate news of tho tugs which were sent out from Port Royal and Beau fort to help the City of Savannah, about which so much has already neen suid. The masters of the tugs have beeu greatly censured for their failure to -render aid to the people on tho wreck. Capt. Phillips dofends tho tugs and says mat they did their best to reoeh tho wreck but were unable to do so on account of the shallow water in u nidi she was lying. They also saw the Birmingham approaching and concluded that it would not be necessary to risk tho tmrs in the dangerous shoal water in which the Savannah was lying. Capt. Phillips makes tho following state ment concerning the conduct of the tugs: "In justice to Capt. Goo. 11. Hopkins, of the tug Bristol (and not Capt. Trash), who went to the assistance of the ill-fated City of Savanuah on the afternoon of Aug. 20th, I wish to state of my own knowledge that the Bristol pro ceeded to sea immediately upon the first information, not even touching at the wharf at Beaufort, where the collector was in waiting to order her out. Capt. Hopkins has been going to sea for over twenty-three years, and there is not a more skillful aud bravo master. His reputation is irreproachable. When the Bristol reached tho steamer it was nearly dark, and she found the City of Birmingham, a sister ship laying by and woll able to care for the passen gers. The Bristol's draught is 10 feet. 1 believe Ray seafaring man would say that Capt. Hopkins did his duty, which he has done many times before in relieving in/ distressed vessels. "I have not yet s >en a reixirt of the first tug applied to, to rescue these pas sengers. At 1 o'clock Tuesday after noon Mr. M. E. lopez was notified that one hundred and fifty passengers o“ the City of Savannah were in the breakers off Hunting Island. He sent the tug Cecilia immediately down. She went as near the wreck as the Bristol did and re turned about the same time. The Cecilia is also in command of an experienced master. Both tugs had bar pilots, who nr - supposed to know the coast. These were the only two tugs afloat around Beaufort, all the other steam ers being high up upon tho beach.” Capt. Phillips was not so positive about the- Cecilia as the Bristol, not having seen any one from the former boat, lie heard that the Cecilia reached the wreck between 6 and 7 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, which is the time Capt. Savage reports that the tug was seen reproaching, and which so raised the i >r.cs of those on the wreck, but whie afterwards went away without mat r any attempt to reuder aid. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBERS. 18113. SAVED BY THE SIGNALS. Observer Smyth’s Prodiction of the Storm. More stormy weather is in prospect : Tho following telegram was received | from the chief of tho weather bureau at Washington by observer Smyth last night: Continue information signal. Disturbance ! in the middle gulf Increasing In energy. 1 Will probably move to the eastern gulf to night. Dangerous for shipping in the east gulf. The local forecast for Savannah and vicinity for to-day and to-night is as fol lows: Continued threatening weather and rain, probably heavy, winds becoming southeast and increasing in force probably by to-night. Great credit is due Observer Smyth of the Savannah weather office for his timo ly warning of the approach of Sunday's storm. Observer Smyth was the first to foresee the dangerous nature of the storm and telegraphed Washington, ad vising the hoisting of danger signals on Friday Aug. 25. The signals were or dered up on the information furnished by him. Mr. Smyth's predictions of the starir, were very accurate. In his synopsis of of the weather rejgirt published in the Morning News of Aug. 25. he said- "A cyclonic disturbance centres apparently off the East Florida coast. S}iip-n.asters will do well to keep themselves advissed during the next twenty-four hours, rela tive to the cyclone’s progress.” The first paragraph of the observer's synopsis in Saturday's Morning News read as follows: "The hurricane reported yesterday (Friday) as central over the Gulf Stream east of Florida has ad vanced nearer to tho coast and now cen ters east of Southern Florida, moving northwest. The winds will continue northeast to east during the next twenty four hoars, attended by occasional rains, increasing to gales this (Saturday) even ing and night. Mariners will do well to be on the lookout.” If Observer Smyth's advice could have t>eon extended by the vessels along the coast hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars of property could have been saved. As it was. thousands of dollars of prop erty was saved nearer home by those who received and followed the observer's ad vice. The Baltimore steamship D. H. Miller was preparing to go down the river Sat urday morning. amt so was the harken tine E. S. Powell, but being advised that a hurricane was imminent the captains de cided to keep their vessels in jort. Both vessels would probably have been wrecked had they gone to sea. A mem ber of a large lighterage firm said that liis firm had saved at least 615,000 by the information of the coming storm re ceived from the weather office. Mr. \V. It. Pritchard, a planter on the Ogeecliee river, said yesterday afternoon that the warning had saved him SB,OOO. A number of persons have called at the weather office this week to thank the ob server for his timely warning and stating that they had profited greatly by heeding it. A number of imrsons who intended going on excursions along the coast took the precaution to call at the weather office for informa tion. When they heard of the approach ing storm they changed their plans, and probably saved their lives by doing so. Then-alue of the weather bureau is pretty well understood by the business men, especially those interest ;d in ship ping ana also by the truck farmers and rice planters around.the city, who make frequent requests for information and keep a close watch upon the reports. There is not a mors efficient observer in the service than Mr. Bmytli. The records of the office have been carefully kept since ho took charge of it All requests for information are promptly attended to. and his predictions are almost invariably verified by results. LIFTED TONS OF IRON. Tremendous Force of tho Storm in Savannah. An illustration of the force of the storm driven waters in the eastern part of the city was discovered this week at the wrecked acid chamber of the Savannah Guano Company. The two large acid '‘eggs,” weighing several tons each, which were partially imbedded in the ground floor of the build ing, were found about 100 feet in the rear of the building, where they had been car ried by the force of the waters. These “eggs'’ arc immense, hollow, iron vessels egg shaped, They are as heavy as a good sized cannon, and that any amount of water could move one of them would appear incredible. Such is the case, however, as evidenced by the position of the “eggs.” DAMAGE TO THE PHOSPHATE. About 25,000 tons of phosphate on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway wharf was greatly damaged by being wet through and through. The ships will not receive the phosphate in its pres ent condition, requiring It to be thoroughly steam dried before taking it on ship board. As there is no steam drying ap paratus lor phosphato at this port the owners are in a dilemma as to what dis position to malic of it. The damage is calculated at about three dcdlars per ton or over $7,000 in all. The phosphate was for a cargo for a vessel that is expected to arrive this month. J. M. Lang & Cos. are the agents and tho phosphate was be ing shipped on account of Penrose & West of Ijoudon. THE YEMASSEE IN PORT. She Steams Into Charleston After an Uneventful Voyage. Charleston, Sept. I.—The steamship Yemassoe, of the Clyde line, which left New York Sunday, arrived here to-day after a rather uneventful voyage. The first hard weather, not exceedingly- hard, however, was encountered at about 0 p. in. Monday. It Increased, and head winds and a lumpy sea were encountered. It was plain to be 3een to bo the part of prudence to get away from the coast, and Capt. McKee, whose forethought and prudence were never more manifest, determined to get out of roach of the coast and disas ter. A RUN TO TIIE OUI.P. Consequently he hove to and ran some fifteen miles toward tln*jrulf aud kept that course for hours and Tiours until he saw bis way clear for a resumption of the journey. This was done at, an opportune moment. Then the line to Charleston was steadily kept. It will bes. en that the run toward the gulf and into head winds ami a billowy sea was the cause of tho break in his schedule time. This caused no kicking, because it was seen to be unavoidable and for the safety of tlv- ship and contents of freight and life. Everybody was sick ex cept one lauy. who stood out against maldemer heroically. The passengers looked a little the worse for the long voy age and seasickness on arrival, but other wise were in good spirits and were full of commendatory comments of Capt. Mc- Kee and the way in which he and his crew managed things. WRECKAGE VISIBLE EVERYWHERE. All along thy route wreckage of every kind was seen. There were evidences all around that tho storm had played havoc with the m r hant marine. About 180 miles off Clia leston a burning vessel was seen. She vas afire aft, and was being consumed as fast as the flames could de stroy her. This vessel was the Dreeda A. Willey of i'hompstoo, Me. No one was on board. She was battling with wind and wave and her destruction was only a ; question of time This was about tho ! only t ventful observation of the whole I voyage. THE LIGHT-HOUSE SERVICE. Some of Its Heavy Losses In the Late Hurricane. Washington, Sept. I—T9w* Hebt-honas service, as a result of the recent storm near Charleston, sustained serious losses, among them the total loss of the lightship stationed off Rattlesnake Shoals. Morris Island's range light, keeper's dwelling at Fort Sumter, light -house depot at Castle Pinckney, light-house tenders Wistaria and Taros badly damaged and all the buoys in Charleston harbor destroyed or out of place. ASIATIC CHOLERA. Death From the Disease at Jersey City Officially Announced. New York, Sept.

I.—Two fresh cases of cholera, and two deaths are reported in Genoa on Tuesday. Seven fresh cases were found in tho city of Alessandria yesterday. In Palmero the number of fresh eases averages thirty daily. Sev eral eases of cholera have been found in this city, Messina and Catania. THE CHOLERA AT GRIMSBY. London, Sept. I.—The port of Grimsby, in Lincolnshire, has been declared in fected witn cholera, and traffic between it 3nd other British ports is prohibited during September. There were eighty deaths in Grimsby from what was called at first diarrhoea and later choleraic dis ease. The general belief now is that many of these deaths were due to choleru. PICKED UP ADRIFT. The Steamer Sarnia for three Weeks Derelict in Midocean. Queenstown, Sept. I.—The steamer Montevidean. Capt. Calvert, from Mon treal, towed to anchorage in this harbot early this morning tho steamer Sarnia which she picked up adrift in midocean. All tho passengers on board the Sarnia are well and the cattle are uninjured. The Sarnia sailed from Montreal on July 29. On August 4 she broke her thrust shaft. Ail efforts to repair the damage were fruitless, and for days the vessel drifted helplessly. As the weather re mained calm the passengers experienced little physical inconvenience, although they suffered keen anxiety after two weeks had passed without the sight of land. On August 25 the Montevidean was sighted, and took tho Sarnia in tow about 1,000 miles from Cork. The rest of the voy age was uneventful. The Sarnia now awaits the arrival of tug bouts which will take her to Liverpool. CAUGHT, EUT ESCAPED. A Negro on the Point of Being Pun ished for Indecency Gets Away. Columbia, S. C., Aug. I.—Last night a uegro named Jim Thompson made himself so conspicuous about the 12-year old daughter of Sectionmas tcr J. W . McDaniel, who had left her, with her little brother, in tho woods about tan miles from here, that McDaniel and others chased him; but he escaped until to-day. when he was caught. He was surrounded by the men, with open knives, and a buggy trace was held ready; but Thompson managed to pull away and run into the woods. Hounds were sent after him, but ho soon tamed them, and is still at largo. SHOCKING CRIME. A Thousand Negroes Scouring the Country for tha Fiend. Memphis, Tenn., Sept.
