Six unknown vessels are reported ashore on Tybee beach from the outside. Nothing has been heard from the steamship City of Savannah now many hours overdue.
Tybee island is about wrecked. Houses were blown and washed away. The railway track was blown from the ground and parts of it stood up along the route like a fence. At least half the houses on the island have been blown down or badly damaged. The damage to the buildings in Savannah is being rapidly repaired.
