and were dressing when they looked out their window, which faced the Ash'ey river and the Fort Sumter hotel. Ominous clouds hung over the city and the rain was pouring down in sheets. A siren started whining shrilly. But what attracted their attention was the "big, black thunderhead, narrowing down to a funnel shape," which apparently had just formed over the vicinity of James Island, across the Ashley river. The threatening black mass, the funnel of which later appeared to be "half again as high as the steeple of St.

Michael's church" with the dark cloud banks pitching and boiling above it, swept across the bay toward the Battery and the center of Charleston. Engulfs Steam Liner Spellbound, they watched the swirling funnel move steadily over the waters toward a large steam liner directly in its path. The blackness of the funnel swallowed the ship which disappeared temporarily then emerged, proceeding calmly on its way as the tornado swept on. The two men said they were nearly certain the funnel passed right over the ship, as well as they could see, but added it was possible the tornado might simply have come between the ship in their line of vision. The funnel, rolling across the waters of the Ashley river, struck the shoreline near the Fort Sumter hotel, the two men said, a few hundred yards up the Ashley river from the very tip of the peninsula on which Charleston is located.

As well as they could tell, the bottom of the funnel was approximately 100 yards in diameter. The funnel itself "skipped" erratically from side to side as it, progressed and also rose up and down as though "leap frogging" certain areas. They did not know how the Fort Sumter hotel, almost directly in the path of the fumel, escaped damage, unless the tornado "leap frogged" It. The funnel descended with terrific violence on the parking lot right next to the hotel, which itself escaped with only a few broken windows. The men related how the black, swirling juggernaut, leaving death and destruction in its wake, skipped and danced its wavering way through the city, striking in one place and lifting for a hrief instant before, like a giant sledge hammer being swung at the city, it struck, again.

Making "a peculiar roaring noise," the funnel, sucked up timber, roofs, slates, shingles and all sorts of debris and spewed it out high in the air, where it torsed and floated crazily, briefly, before it tumbled to earth in a shower As far as they could see the tornado, it appeared generally to keep to the Cooper river side of King street from the Fort Sumter hotel, 'neading diagonally northeastward across the peninsula to Meeting and Broad streets where (they learned laver) the storm vented a large part of its fury, Electric Sparks in Funnel A phenomenon observed by the two men were electric sparks shooting out steadily from the base of the funnel as it swept over the city. They attributed it to electric wires snapped loose by the funnel and spewing out their electric charges as they were buffeted by the storm. An electrical display was observed by the two men 8.5 the funnel passed over the Charleston city electric plant. They said the base of the funnel was brilliant with sparks 'and flashes as, they said they thought, the tornado tore at the electrical fixtures around the plant. The storm passed out of their sight shortly after it descended on the Broad and Meeting street in- GULFSPRAY THE SURER INSECT KILLER Kills faster, and for keeps.
