Corpus Christi, Texas,Sept.
16th- -With
troops
patrolling
the main
street
and
relief trains headed
this way from
many
points of the State,
Corpus
Christi today
began
slowly
to
emerge
from
the
wreckage
caused
by
the
Gulf
hurri-
cane,
which
strueck
the
city
early
on
Sunday,
bringing
death
to
an
unknown
number
of people
and
doing
property
damage
of
millions.
It
was
impossible
this morning to get
anything
like a
correct
estimate
of the
fatalities.
In
the
city
proper
the
death
list
was
placed
by
some
officials
at
between
15
and
25, but
that
was
regarded
by
many
as far
too
concervative
In some
quar-
ters
it
was
said
the
number
of
injured
would
exceed
20.
One
report
in
circu-
lation
today,
but
as
yet
unconfirmed
was
that
120 bodies,
recognized
as
resi-
dents
of
Corpus Christi,
have been
tak-
en
from
a reef
near
Portland
on
Neuces
Bay,
upon
which
Corpus
Christi
is
situ-
ated
more
than
0,000
persons
were
made
homeless
by
the storm,
and
the
probiem
of
taking
care of
them
was what
faced
officials when
they began
the day.
How-
ever,
with the
coming
of relief
trains,
it
was
expected
that
by nigat
most
of
those
made
destitute
by
the
sterm.
would
be
taken
care
of.
Considerable
anxiety
was expressed
regarding
the fate
of
the
launch
Waldo
with
15
persons
aboard,
which left Corpus
Christi
on
Sat-
arday afternoonon
a
fishing
execursion.
Since
the
storm.
no
word
has
been
re-
ceived
from
the
party,
which
includes
four
women.
Fears
are
entertained
that
a heavy
casualtv
list
will be report-
ed
irom
surrounding
towns,
several
of
which
were directly
in the
path
of
the
storm
‘The
storm
sent
a
tidal
wave
ten
feet
'higch
over
th-
buginess
and
north
beach
distriets
of °the
eity.
The
water
was about
4
feet
deep
in
the
lobby of the ybusiness
hotei,
and
every
business
biuff*on
rhe
bay
was
under
water from
Bto
10
feet.
That
the
loss
of life was
not
appalling
was due
to
the
prorapt
warning
sent
out
to
the
lower
portions of
the
city
early
on
Sunday
morning urging
all
persons
at
exposed
places
to
seek
safety
in
the
higher
dis-
tricts ¢f the
city.
All day
Sunday
hun-
dreds
of persons
carrying
their
most
val-
uable
personal
belongings,
poured
out
of
the
bay
front
district,
into
the
higher
sections,
Hundreds
of
others
who
re-
mained
in their
homes
until
the
water
reached
a dangerous
depth
were brought
safely by volunteer
rescue
parties
which
kept
a sharp
lookout in
the
flooded
dis-
tricts during the height of the storm.

The

toll in

by
