Thirteen Vessels Driven Ashore. (BV THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.) Georgetown, Grand Cayman, British We»t Indies. —The Island of Grand 1 Cayman was visited by the most vio lent hurricane in Its history on Sep tember 24. Wind of great velocity, a heavy rain anti giant breakers from the (’arrlbbeun sea combined in dam aging shipping and property* The property loss exclusive of shipping is estimated at $300,000. Two lives were lost. The damage to crops of ail kinds as well as that to property was great er than in the hurricane of 1876 and the cyclone of 1003. The outbreak of the tempest was pre ceded by a sharp change In barometric and atmospheric conditions. From September 13 on there were thun derstorms and the clouds appeared to he very dense. There were fw breezes from the sea and the dally maximum temperature was from 85 to 90 degrees In the shade. To add to the unpleas antness the Island was visited by a plague of mosquitoes a few days berore the storm broke. In preparation for the expected storm all the vessel* in the roadstead of Georgetown were re moved to the Great Soundon the north side of the Island. Houses Swept Away. September 25 broke dark and dreary. The wind increased In velocity and there was a heavy downpour of rain. The barometer dropped still further and by noon the wind had reached a velocity of 120 miles an hour. Giant breakers came in from the sea. Houses built to withstand the ordi nary hurricane In the Caribbean were shaken to their foundations. Windows were shattered and doors and roofs were carried away. The streets and roads were Hooded with water and till ed with uprooted tree*. One hundred and twenty houses were blown down and many more were damaged severe ly. The wind abated after nightfall but it continued to rain almost inces santly for another 24 hours. The shipping losses have not been estimated but every vessel at anchor around the island was damaged. Thir teen vessels were driven ashore amt two were turned upside down by the wind and water. The Island of Jamaica, which lies southeast of the lslund of Cayman, was strucy by a hurricane on September 23. Much damage was done to crops and buildings and nine persons were killed at Port Antonio. * CIGAR BAND BOX. Ninty-Bix, S.
