The party fait no ill of fects of tho blow, as ths yscht had been close hsuled between St. Catherine Island and land. Governor Terrell was surprised to know that any anxiety had been felt of hi* safety. Inability to get any kind of Informa tion from or of Governor and Mrs, Joseph M. Terrell Monday up to a late hour has served to increase the anxle ty concerning them. Governor and Mrs. Terrell left At- l.'.nta last Thursday for Savannah, where they Joined Major and Mrs. Wil kins for a cruise along the Georgia coast In a private yacht. The party left Savannah Friday morning. The storm swept along the coast Fri day night and Saturday.
