Including Frank Andrew of the Beaumont Enterprise, who waa In "Port Arthur directly after the storm. Mr. Andrew told thla atory of the storm In Port Arthur and Sabine: At 7 o'clock Tuesday night, when thl waa written, Port Arthur waa the only town near the Texaa coast from which any news of the damace wrought by the gulf storm had come. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon there had been no verified Ions of life at Port Arthur, although yiere were rimor that three or four had perlahed. But aa to property los tnre was a an- ferent story.

a building in fort Artnur, euner residence or business house, eacaued dam age In soma degree, and the damage will ranee from II IK) lor tne smaller noma to everal thousand dollar for Die larger residence and buslnes buildings. WHOLESOME FOOD SCARCE. The people of Port Arthur are without food, except for a limited aupply that had been obtained from the grocery store up to noon yesterday. About that hour the two grocery store that had remained open were cloeed, those attending them Beeklng of safety. The food that waa obtainable before the cloaina of the storea waa In the form of canned goods.

Everything else was caturated with salt water. The only water Port Arthur people had td drink yesterday waa that carried In cans or buckets from cisterns, tne city water aupply having been shut on. Any estimate or tne property aamage In Port Arthur would be a wild guess. But that It will run far Into the thousands there la no question. Before 7 clock yesterday morning the Enterprise had an automobile carrying four representatives of this paper on the way to Port Arthur.

The going, against a iO-mile an hour gale, with the rain pelting one's cheeks and eyes like bird-shot, was not what one would choose for an August outing, but the party was headed for Port Arthur, and on we went gainst flood, wind and carburetor trou bles. Once the car died, but the mech anician resurrected It and the journey was resumed. Three miles outside of Port Arthur the car died again and re mained dead. FIVE HOURS ON ROAD. Prom this point on It was a walk or rather a walk, a swim and a wade.

At the R. P. Smith farm the party met T. E. Linn, who had started to Beaumont.

He waa mustered In a pilot and the party proceeded to Port Arthur. The wind was blowing such a gale that a big pelican could make no headway, against it and was almost caught by members of the psrty. aaintr to tne neck In manv Dlaces. buffeted by the waves, beaten by the rain that came In sheets, the party finally reached the Realty building on Procter street, having been more than five hours on the road. Gathering news In a town that Is from two to four or five feet under water has its difficulties.

We could not find the mayor; neither could we find the chief ot police, for both were busy with the most strenuouH duties that have ever fallen to their lot but this is the story of Port Arthur so far as It could be gleaned after three or four hours of wading through buffeting waters: WAVB8 RUN HIGH IN BUSINE8S STREET. The great storm which blew in from the gulf Monday afternoon dealt a heavy blow to Port Arthur, but so far as could be learned at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon there had been no less of life. At that hour the water on Procter street, on which most of the town's business buildings nre located, nan from two to six feet deeu. the waves were running hlKh and the water was rising, with a stiff gale blowing from the south. accural estimate of tne property damage at Port Arthur can be made at this time, but it iB-tertain that the total will run far into the thousands.

Manv buildings are either wholly or nartlv unroofed, windows are blown In, awnings and fences blown down, every stock of goods in town soaked- wltn salt water and the smaller bullnlngs and out houses washed from their foundations. PUBLIC BUILDINGS HOUSE HUNDREDS. Nine-tenths of the population of Port Arthur were housed in the larger brick buildings on Procter street, the federal building, the city hall and Port Arthur college. Very few people remained in their homes at o'clock yesterday afternoon, and many of those remaining were TODAY'S BEAUTY SUGGESTIONS Kace powder simply cover up an unattractive complexion and leaves no lasting benefits. Those who have tried a simple spurmax face lotion find it much better, as It removes skin dlscoloratlons, such as freckles and tan, and makes the skin smooth, white and velvety.

This lotion Is made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax In one-half pint hot water, then adding two teaspoonfuls glycerin. This complexion beautifler does not rub off or show like powder, and gives a more refined appearance. It removes both shlnlness and sallowness, rapidly giving the skin a permanent healthy, youthful appearance. An especially fine shampoo for thl weather can be had at trifling expense by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox In a cup of hot water. Pour slowly on acalp and, massage briskly.

Thl create a aoothing, cooling lather that dissolve and removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing leave the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair tako on a glossy rlchnesa of natural color, also a flu (Tineas Which makes It seem very much heavier than It Is.

The number of people taking refuge In the federal building was between 2600 and 3000, while mora than a thousand were gathered In the Realty building on Proc ter straat. liaveral hundred were cath ered In the city, hall, and every brick building on Procter atreei nouaea reiu ew to almost its capacity.

Many of them were drenched to the skin, having waded in water up to their armpits In getting Into the buildings or going out arter iooa. PORT ARTHUR LIVES ON CANNED O0OD8.

Port Arthur Is practically without food, except canned good, -the grocery stocks having been submerged In salt water for -eeveral hours. To add to the gravity of the situation some accident to the water supply had left the town without water, except an inadequate supply In cisterns over the town, and the high water made It almost Impossible to get a supply of drinking water from the cisterns fur the thousands huddled in the business buildings. At 2 o'clock Monday morning a general alarm was sent out to the people of Port Arthur tjy Mayor R. H. I Minn.

The warning was transmitted by the operators of the Texas Telephone company, who advised every person having a telephone to U.1, naAA hUu hair ing a telephone waa asked to want his neighbors. This waa done and the peo pie began gathering In the brlc buildings on Procter street, practically all of the population having removed to places of safety dv a ciock Monday momma. The refugees remained in the downtown buildings until daylight. The coming of a new nay allayed tnetr tears to a con slderable extent and they returned to their homes. Through Monday crowds watched the Dtiiietin boards in tne downtown district where all Information concerning the progress of the storm was posted.

While there was much excitement during Mon day. there waa not much real uneasiness until about 6 o'clock Monday evening. At mis nour tne wina nao reacneo the proportions of a gale and the people again gainerea in tne downtown rjutidings. WIND BLOWS NINETY MILES AN HOUR. From 6 o'clock Monday afternoon the wind gained steadily In velocity until a maximum of 90 miles an hour was said to have been reached about 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.

This maximum velocity waa maintained until about o'clock Tuesday morning, when the force of the wind subsided somewhat. However, gale came in from the gulf all during the forenoon, and at 2 o'clock Tuesday after noon a gaie estimated at miles an hour was blowing the water in from the gulf and It was rising In the town, having gained two incnes between 1 and 2 o'clock. Immediately after 2 o'clock the wind seemed to Increase In force, the waves ran higher and the water trained a great er depth in the streets. "The water has rlsert eight and three-fourths Inches in the last 15 minutes," called a citizen to a couple of Enterprise representatives who were wading almost up to their necas to reacn the automobile they had left two miles OUt of town. Thn man said he had measured the water Inside his residence.

Some estimates of the damage to a few business houses on Proctor street were given by a citizen who had been wading the streets during the greater part of tht uv. i nese sumate follow: B.

Not one escaped damage, and the same ap- iiien io practically an tne residences of the city, only those In the extreme east ern portion escaping, and even most of nose were pretty thoroughly water-soaked by the blowing in of windows fir damage to roofs.

the power and light plants were forced to close down at 10 o'clock Mondav night. and Port Arthur has been cut off from the telephone and telegraph service with the outside world since 11 o'clock Monday night. SABINE AND SABINE PASS HEAVY LOSERS. Communication between Port Arthur and Sabine Pass ceased Monday afternoon, at whh-h time the water In the pass was reported to be level with the banks. Since Sabine Pass and Sabine, which are two miles apart, are 10 miles nearer the gulf than Port Arthur, It Is certain that the water reached a greater depth at the fminer towns.

While it Is said that all except three or four persons had left Sahlne and Sabine Pass before the water began rising, it la feared that both of these towns have suffered great damage. In fact, those familiar with conditions there fear that few, if any buildings' are left standing in either place. The streets of Port Arthur presented muny novel scenes Tuesday afternoon. Men waded by the side of a boat In which were loaded women and children being taken to places of safety. Next would come a team nading in water of almost swimming depth, drawing a wagon with more refugees.

Here and there were groups of men anil boys, holding hands and struggling through the buffeting waves to rescue some one who had not heeded the first warning to seek safety. Others toiled through the water In search of food for their families, and when they found the menu waa limited to canned goods which was the only form of food not water soaked. Though hundreds of people were chilled there was no fire, no place to make a fire and nothing to make it with. ABANDON HOMES WHEN WATER RISES, While most of the people 'sought places of safety early a small percentage refused to leave their homes, believing, they were In no danger, when the wind ln-creiued In the afternoon Inost of those who remained In their homes braved the water up to their armpits and started for the brick buildings. Word came that an old man who was sick and unable to walk was marooned In a little shack where the water was rapidly approaching his bed.

A dozen men volunteered aa a rescue party and the aged Invalid waa carried to a place of safety The damage to one Port Arthur home and Its furnishing may be cited as typical of the damage to every other, home In Port Arthur. In the home of T4 H. Linn, which stands higher from the ground than the average home, two feet of water stood on th floor. The piano, ths Vlcrola. couches, tables, chairs, art squares and other furnishing floated In the muddy water.

Windows were blown In, doors open, wall paper waa thoroughly soaked and falling from th canvas. The atorv of tne damage to thla homo la typical of every other homo In Port Arthur, except In the extreme eastern por tion. Borne residences were damas-ed to a greater extent than the Linn home, but few were damaged less. DAMAGE RANGES FROM fiOOO TO S9000.

Two or three fet more water will float resldonces from their founda tions and In that case the damage would be multiplied. Flying. Cloud, a 30 foot motor boat, Is tied up on Procter street near Dallas avenue. A house boat was blown out of the canal, sailing Into T. K.

l.inn yard and knocking his chicken house over. to to clock Tuesday morning the gale blew from the east, but at that hour it veered to the south, bringing with It the water from the gulf and the lake and forcing the water over the pleasure pier extending out Into the lake, and It was here that the danger to Port Arthur begpn. With water everywhere, as far aa the eye could see, there was not a drop of water In Port Arthur to drink, except that contained In cisterns at some of the residences, and that can be had only by wading to one's neck or swimming unless the water has receded. At noon Tuesday only two grocery Stores In Port Arthur were open the Sanitary Grocery store and the Barnes Grocery company. Clerks In these two stores were bringing canned goods to the door and handing them out to customers up to noon, but after that hour even these two stores were closed, and It Is certain that several thousand people went to bed or "rather, laid down on a wet floor- hungry last night.

t-ven if the water did not rise another Inch after the Knterprlse party waded out of Port Arthur yesterday afternoon that city has had a terrible blow. Business will necessarily be suspended for several days, the various Industries Including the big, refineries, will be shut down for a time; the people, when they are able to return to their homes, will find them sodden and damaged in a word, a great task lies before Pert Ar thur a task that will require help for a time, at least.

August 17 The wind and rain storm which struck here at noon yesterday and continued for 24 hours did little damage in this vicinity except to the cotton crop. This toes is reported heavy, as much of the staple was caught In the fields and blown from the stalks and ncaten into tne ground by the rain. In some places the fields were stripped or tiolls and blooms. There was practically no damage on the bay front; wharves and buildings andj boats were left secure. The northeaster-1 wind carried the water back from the shore and at no time was there danger from high water.

Several residences were' sugnny wrenched off the foundations. In the business section two plate glasa windows were demolished, one In the AVilson block and one in the Louwien building. Rockdale.
