TROPICAL STORM SPENDS ITS FURY IN UNITED STATES 'CONTINUED FROM FAGK ONE) ' Z '^’*'* S *' ZV . line. Damage apparently was not so great in St. Kitts and no loss of life was reported, but Nevis reported 13 dead. The numerous other little islands in that vicinity have not reported their losses. The next points stricken were t.he Virgin Islands, United States possession, north of St. Kitts and close to Porto Rico. Damage was great and the deaths were listed at 6. The storm then turned its full fury on Porto Rico. Its course took |it from - there just north of the large island divided between and Santo Domingo. Hajti,, wtych recently was devastated by a severe hurricane, escaped entirely. The storm, now nearing Florida, treated the 20 islands in the Bahamas | less severely, and while damage was extensive, no loss of life was reported. , From the Bahamas, the hurricane, some of its fury spent but still capa- , Ide of doing great damage, entered ■ Florida with Palm Beach about iu the I center of its path. Eye Witnesses Describe Disaster Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 18—(U.R)Passengers who arrived here fifteen hours late on the Havana Special from southern Florida provided a vivid eyewitness account of the destruction caused by the tropical hurricane. H. Hilliard of Easton. Tex., who boarded the train at Miami, told the following story: “After we left Miami, we ran into the path cf the storm about 15 miles south of Palm Beach, Torrential rains and wind struck the train, rocking the car from side to side. The noise of the wind sounded like a hundred sirens blowing at once. "A wreck train had preceded us out es Miami and we stopperl often while the crew ahead removed telegraph and telephone poles from the right of way. in many instances portions of houses ■ were blown on the track and the crew labored for hours clearing the way. "It took us five hours to get from the i south end of Palm Beach to the north 1 end. When we halted at what had once j been a station, the wind had stopped 1 and groups of people were wandering I about as though in a" trance. "Two men boarded the train and had to show special officers their military passes. Then we knew the city was under martial law. We stayed there long enough for us to find out that ; ihe Palm Beaches had been the worst hit. "The city was without lights. The sight from the train was one of complete desolation and ruin. It was a | ghastly sight to see wrecked buildings leaning all about, and many persons homeless. "Those questioned said almost the whole residential section of Palm Beach had been levelled. ’ They said about 100 persons had been hurt and were being housed in emergency hospitals and buildings which were still standing. “Well-constructed stone buildngs had been cnly slightly damaged. It was the wooden structures that went down before the winds.” Other passengers told the United Press that they could see houses scattered about in Palm Beach in almost unbelieveable shapes. Persons who met the train at the Palm Beach station said West Palm Beach had been almost levelled. Flood waters poured in to the shattered buildings, and groups of refugees could be seen milling in the streets, the passengers said. Hundreds Flee From Everglades Miami. Fla., Sept. 18—(U.R) - Five hundred persons are fleeing out of the Flverglades today before the flood waters of Lake Okeechobee which have inundated the Lowlands of Central Florida. Belleglade, Pohokee and Canalpoint, communities near the lake, were reported to he almost covered with water. Residents cf those towns arfa making their way toward West’Palm Beach.

M. Hunter, Rivera; W. J. Mayfield, Kelsey City. Lieut. Col. L. E. Goodrich returned to Miami and reported that virtually ail the homes in Pomano and Boynton had been destroyed. Fragmentary reports said many persons in the vicinity cf Lake Okeechobee had been drowned. But no accurate estimate was made of the number of lives lost. Repot ts reached here of possible heavy loss of life in the Lake Okeechobee 'listrict. Alexandet Orr, at storm relief headquartets, said he received a report that 12 persons were dead at Bell Glade, a small town on the southeastern limos Great Lake. The casualty list was reported at 30. All efforts to verify this report or one that 24 had beeu drowned at Okeechobee City on the northern edge of the lake, was unsuccessful. The everglades are south of BeU Glade, near Pahokee, canal point and other small towns were reported badly flooded. Special relief measures for the area were taken by the Red Cross as iofugges arrived. — Further Storm Warnings Posted Washington. Sept 18 —(U.R)— The weather bureau today ordered storm
