"As I left I saw a, barge freighted with dead on Its Journey to the gulf. "This manner of burial Is Imperative; the living must be protected now," Mr. Hum' story was confirmed. Three men who reported here tell of so many dead bodtc being found In a single house or yard or one block that the conclusion Is almost Invslstlble that a greater number than a thousand lives have been lost. They tell that twenty or forty or 'more were lost by the collapse of a single large house, the victims having gathered there for safety, but they are unable to say any thing about hundreds of small house that were swept away, some vacant but many occupied, but without a mark or sign or a memory to call the lost, The minute dotal to are wanting, and i-o hst of names approaching complete l.tss can be ha.l for weeks, and It Is al most sure that a complete list will nev er be founU A time wears along the names of a different person w ill be re called by those who were neighbors, and they will be set down In the great death roll that will never be called, and the identity of the lost will be passed to eternity without remem brance. .

' A m-vttng was held at the Trement house and at this meeting measur's were considered for the relief of the stricken. The conclus.on was quickly reached that the el'ise-ns are not equal to the task, do what they may. "Five miles of La Port? track Just north if Texas City Junction were sub merged during the storm. All the draw bridges between Virginia Point and Galveston are gone. The county brldg . which cost $250,000 and which was t: longest wagon structure in the worl '. collapsed before the storm got uni : good healway. An ocean steamsnip plowed Its way through the piling in two other bridges. As far as Is known the bridge tenders are dead. "The first vessel to Galveston after the storm contained the party delegat ed to Inform the outside world of the catastrophe and to ask for help. It consisted of Lieutenant J. J. Delaney. of tho Sou'hern Paciac: E. G. Cox. of the firm of Thomas Taylor & Company; South Gnlveston correspndent of the Houston Poet, and Richard Splllane, of the Galveston Tribune. Their boat was the steam yacht Pherabe, owned by Colonel W. L. Moody, and the cr?w was mad1 up of volunteers, Lawrence V. Elder, superintendent of the Galves ton cotton mills, acting as engineer and all hands being stokers. "The trip across the bay was one of he most tempestuous imaginable. Many squalls struck the bay Just as the Phe rabe got out of the channel from the Galveston wharves to Texas City. The boat was one time pointed toward the skv and the next moment downward. The engineer declined to take the boat further than Texas City, declaring that she c iild not live In such a sea. Lieu tenant Delaney. who was an officer in the Japanese navy and commanded one of the warships In the battle of the Yalu river and was later a lieutenant In th United States navy, said the trip ac.-oss the bay was a far more desper ate struggle for life than that during the hurricane of the night before, and he also said that In all his experience at sa he never knew of a craft surviving such a strain. "In order to got Into Texas City we nad to break Into a lot of wreckage and thpn had to make our way for 50 or 75 feet, walking on wreckage, before we could get to shore. From Texas dty to La Marque the party went over the lloofiei' prairie in a buggy. A work train of th Galveston.
