Eighty Five Passengers Lost En Route to Stricken New Orleans
The States reports 85 lives lost on the Gulf and Interstate train from Beaumont to Bolivar Point. Hon. John H. Poe, a passenger, survived in a lighthouse as the ferry could not land due to fierce winds. The wreck left passengers stranded over 50 hours with scant rations before rescue. Chicago sent food and clothing convoys for Texas flood sufferers, aiming for Fort Worth and Houston. Galveston casualties skew toward working people, with few prominent figures among the dead. Mail service to Galveston has been restored with two daily mails planned.
