gees arriving ,here ; from the south
west coast of Louisiana state that
no less than 300 'lives were lost in
the tidal waves which swept the Gulf
coast on Monday night and Tuesday.
Scores of fishermen were caught.
It is believed that the list will be
greatly increased when the reports
from other districts are received.
Forty are known to have lost their
lives according to reports received in
Memphis. The property loss will ex
ceed .$3,000,000.' The greatest loss
was in Mississippi and Louisiana.
The tidal wave inundated the
homes of. 5000 fishermen and plant
ers. Few telephones are working and
these tell of disasters the worst that
ever visited the coast. In New Or
leans alone 300 city blocks were sub-
j merged and scores of lives lost, but
only a search can reveal the number.
Yesterday's list of 30 dead will be in
creased today. The property loss in
Alabama is almost as great as in
Louisiana.
Later today the death list was in
creased to 40. It is certain that
scores of cessels were lost.
