TRAPPFD BY INCOMING TIDE

p arty \y as Made Up of Hebrews
of Savannah and Tragedy Oc
curred Near That City.
A Savannah, Ga„ special says: The
twelfth annual excursion of the He
brew Gaemahl Hasad, commonly
known as the H. G. Ii., had a tragic
ending Sunday, six members of the
party being drowmed. The H. G. H. is
a popular society with the orthodox
.Tews, chiefly from Russia and Poland,
being of a benevolent character. One
of its features is an annual excursion
for the members and their families.
The excursion was to Daufuskie is
land, twenty miles down the Savannah
river on the South Carolina side. The
beach at Daufuskie is a poor one, and
it has been largely given up as a re
sort. This accounts in part for the ac
cident.
'ihe day passed pleasantly enough
until between 3 and 4 o clock in the
afternoon, by which time the excur
sionists were scattered all about, the
island. A party of twelve or fourteen,
mostly women and children, decided
to go in bathing on the sea side of the
island. Between the shore and the
deep water there is a wash or sluice,
then a shoal and then a fairly good
shelving beach. The tide was out when
the party noticed that the incoming
tide had covered the shoal and decid
ed to return. They were all right until
they reached the sluice, where the wa
ter was running like a mill race. Al
most the entire party was caught, and
a struggle for life began. Some man
aged to get back on the shoal and a
few got across the danger spot, but
six—five women and girls and one
man—were caught by the tide and car
ried down. Their screams attracted
those on shore and the alarm was giv
en. There were no boats on that side,
aiul by the time word reached the oth
er side of tue islands and the boats
were gotten out it was too late.
