The night passed without the pre- diction being verified, but the con- ditions were omincus. By 10 o'clock Saturday morning the wind was almost a gale. At-nodn'it had increased in velocity and was driv- ing the rain, whipping the pools and tearing foliage in a vicious manner. Residents near the beach were aroused to the danger that threat- ened their homes as stupendous waves began to send the waters far inland. The gulf drove the waves with irre éstible force high upon the beach.and the gale from the north- east pitched the waters against and over the wharves, choking the sew- ers and flooding the city. The streets began to fill with water, communication became difficult and the helpless people were caught be- tween two powerful elements, while the winds howled and rapidly in- creased in velocity. Railroad com- munication was cut off shortly after by the track being washed out; wire facilities completely failed and at 3 o'clock Galveston was isolated before the anamometer blew away, the wind had reached the frightful velocity of 100 miles an hour, Sturdy buildings swayed and trem- bled and crashed, carrying death land destruction to hundreds of peo- | be gonside red terminated. | Wark Lt WHIT Asalet, 1.
