Members of Galveston Re-
lief Party Return.
The tug Rotarian, belonging to the
Seaboard Transportation and Shinping
company, which was dispatched to
Port Aransas shortly after the tropi-
cal hurricane struck that section of
the coast, to administer relief to the
flood sufferers, returned here last
night after nearly a week’s absence.
Capt, T. J. Anderson, the chariman of
the relief committee; George Sealy,
representing the Red Cross, and L. L.
Simons of the Commercial Association,
returned here last night by rail, com-
ing direct from Corpus Christi.
These men went to Corpus Christi
from Port Aransas last Saturday in a
small motor launch. They found that
the channel to that point had filled in
to a depth of not more than five feet
of water and that the shifting sands
were still flowing into the dredged
area. The channel leading from Port
Aransas to Aransas Pass was filled to
a depth of not more than one or two
feet of water, and forced the relief
parties to send their relief boats all
the way round the end. of Harbor Is-
land in order to get through. The
dredged channel which connected Aran-
sas Pass With the open sea, and con-
sequently split Harbor Island in two
sections was filled completely and is
impassable to even the smallest boats.
In some portions of the channel the
water purls over the sanded bottom
just like a trout brook according to the
members of the committee.
The old town of Tarpon on the east
end of Mustang Island,’ which is now
called Port Aransas, was the most bad-
ly hurt of any of the communities.
The low lying section of this town im-
mediately joining the harbor entrance
was completely washed away by the
force of the water rushing from the
gulf into the bay. Practically every
house in the exposed portion of the
town was carried away, although there
were some on the leeward side of the
big sand dunes which managed to get
through all right. The only building
left remaining on the exposed portion
is that of the old government engi-
neer’s office, which is standing on
piling about fifteen feet up from the
ground.
SURVEY IS MADE.
Capt. Anderson made a complete sur-
vey of the Port Aransas terminal fa-
cilities which are on Harbor Island
proper. The docks and railway tracks
are completely washed away or de-
stroyed by the pounding of the sea.
Clear your
complexion
completely with
Resinol
Soap
If you find yourself “left out’’
because of a poor skin, and want
a clear, fresh complexion, use
Resinol Soap at least once a day.
Wash thoroughly with a warm,
creamy lather of it, then rinse the
face with plenty of cold water.
It does not often take many
days of such regular care with .
Resinol Soap to show ’an im-
provement. In severe cases, a
little Resinol Ointment should
be used at first. All druggists
sell Resinol Soap and Ointment. ,
THE EYES
Of every child should be
carefully, examined1 at

examinations are made
by means of the most
modern methods and in-

the use of drugs.

A little higher than standard pat-
ents, but a "whole lot” better.
Two barges belonging to the Gulf Re-
fining company are washed high and
dry near the oil storage tanks imme-
diately back of the wharves proper.
These will have to be dredged into
deep water again, he said. The Me-
dian is resting easily on the piling of
the wharf proper on the northern side,
of the wharves. The tug Robert P.
Clarke rode through the storm on the
east side of the wharf immediately op-
posite the channel entrance, but later
shifted around alongside the Median.
The town of Rockport is badly dam-
aged. The relief party rushed food
through to them, and found that no
effort had been made' to reach them
from the mainland. They were aided
in the work of transporting their sup-
plies to Rockport by the motor boat
Colonel, belonging to the United States
engineering department, which arrived
there a day or so after the Rotarian.
Capt. Anderson stated that the Colonel
had safely passed through" the inter-
costal canal, although they had trou-
ble at times, and had arrived at Aran-
sas in good condition.
On Saturday, the party consisting of
Mr. Sealy, Capt. Anderson and Mr: Sim-
ons were taken to Corpus to look over
field, was welcomed with religious
exercises as a month of rest and rec-
reation by the agricultural inhabitants
of Palestine. (Numbers X-10.)
The Jewish New Year is known by
different names, and each expresses
something of its spiritual significance.
Numbers XXIX, I, , designates it as
“The Day of Blowing the Trumpet
(Shofar)”. New Year occurs in the
autumn, when the falling leaf and fad-
ing flower turn man’s mind to serious
reflection, and sounds the admonitory
message: “Awake, and ponder your
deeds; remember your creator, return
to Him in penitence. Be not of those
who reach out after shadows, and waste
years seeking vain things which can-
not profit or deliver. Look well to
your souls and consider your acts; for-
sake each of you his evil ways and
thoughts, and return to God, that He
may have mercy upon you.”
Rosh Hashonah is also known as the
Day of Memorial, the Day of Judg-
ment, of self-examination. The lesson
of the New Year is that men review
the past year and look with confi-

conditions there. They reported that
the conditions at that place are pretty
bad, but that there is no immediate
need of food supplies. The big need
now is for funds, according to the
committee, and they do not think it
will be necessary to send out another
vessel for relief work. According to
the best information they could find
in Corpus there are still some four or
five hundred people yet to be heard
from, although there is a likelihood
that a number of them are safe.
MANY RATTLESNAKES.
One of the remarkable things about
the storm is the great number of rat-
tlesnakes which have been cast up into
the inhabited portions o-f the coast.
According to information given to mem-
bers of the relief committee, so many
rattlesnakes were hurled close to that,
place by the tidal Wave that the cit-
izens were forced to organize a hunt.
As far as they could learn no one was
reported bitten, as the snakes seemed
to be perfectly harmless as long as
they were lef alone, and their chief
concern seemed to be in ridding them-
selves of the crude oil which smeared
the surface of the bay, and in getting
out of the water.
The people also were greatly handi-
capped in their efforts to save them-
selves because of the crude oil. The
relief committee was told of one inci-
dent where a man was swept into the
bay and carried to the mainland. His
eyes were blinded by the crude oil and
he was unable to open them even after
he was swept ashore. As he lay he
could feel snakes crawling over his
body, and working all about him, and
still he was forced to lay perfectly
still to keep from touching or hitting
one, and consequently getting bitten.
He was found by searchers later ly-
ing in the exact position in which he
had been washed ashore, with several
snakes still close about him.
Other reports reaching the commit-
tee told of numbers of snakes being
strewn up and down the dump of the
St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico rail-
way line.
There were numerous tales of in-
dividual hardships, and hairbreadth es-
capes on every hand.
The people of Port Aransas were
especially loud in their praise of
Keeper Dierlam and his coast guards,
who transported practically every per-
son in the town to places of safety
behind the sand dunes. A large num-
ber of children were handled and not
one was lost.
dence toward the future. The influ-
ence of religion on character, the sig-
nificance of the flight of time, the
suggestions of a large-scoped view of
life, are the themes of the prayers
and thought of Rosh Hashonah.
Its message to man is threefold:
(1) to contemplate all experiences of
the year—joyful and sorrowful—in the
light of discipline, by the ruler of
human destiny, and to renew our trust
in Him; (2) to scrutinize our conduct,
conscious that God, the Just Judge of
the world, searches the hearf, and to
consecrate the new year to a nobler
life; (3) and to look upon the life
story of Israel as of one’s self in the
light of God’s revelations on Sinai. Spe-
cial music and prayers mark the ob-
servance of the Feast, which, though
solemn, is nevertheless, replete with
the spirit of Joy and optimism. While
Orthodox Jewry devotes two days, Re-
form Judaism observes only one day.
Service will be held at Temple B’Nai
Israel Wednesday evening, at 6:15
o’clock Thursday and morning at 10.

Members of the Central Relief Com-
mitttee met at 2:30 o’clock this after-
noon in the conference rooms of the
Galveston Commercial Association for
the purpose of discussing additional re-
lief measures for the flood stricken
areas between Port Aransas and Corpus
Christi. Capt. T. J. Anderson, the
chairman of the committee, reported on
conditions as they, found them in the
affected areas. It is understood that
no further supplies will be sent out of
Galveston to the flooded area, unless
rail connections become so badly broken
through the floods that food can not
be shipped in from the mainland.
The committee is of the opinion that
the flood sufferers need money worse
than any other thing right now, and
they will work toward this end in the
future. The sufferers have plenty of
food and other supplies all along the
coast. Even the most isolated regions
seem to be well cared for, according to
Capt. Anderson. George Sealy, who
went to the district as “a representative
of the American Red Cross, was to
make his report also.
Jules Bdock, the treasurer of the Cen-
tral Relief Committee, announced today
that the total collections made here
would amount to about $14,000. He
stated that he did not have the exact
amount, as there were some minor ac-
counts which had not been gone over
as yet. The drive for funds here will
be continued until no further aid is
needed in the storm swept sections.
The tug Rotarian is back in port
after many adventures with shifting
channels and other menaces. The vessel
never got by Port Aransas, but the re-
lief committee on board took the pro-
visions contributed by the people of Gal-
veston and distributed them to all
points where they were needed, re-
gardless of the trouble to themselves.
All the channels in Nueces bay were
filled in, and it was a gamble as to
whether or not a boat would be able to
get through, but they did and hundreds
of starving people were relieved.
The only thing that the .Rotarian
brought back to Galveston were some
broken cartons and boxes, which were
not in shape to unload. The remaining
supplies were left at Port Aransas and
were to be distributed by the mayor as
he thought fit.
TO RESUME WORK
IN A FEW DAYS
Work will be resumed on the Galves-
ton causeway reconstruction within a
few days, according to A. A. Sangster
of Larkin & Sangster, contractors. Mr.
Sangster said this morning that every-
thing will be in shape for a resump-
tion of work the latter part of this
week.
Damage from the recent storm con-
sisted of minor injury to equipment and
no damage of any nature resulted to
the structure. Traveling derricks were
lifted from their tracks by the action
of the water and some of the rails were
washed out of alignment. Adjustment
of these and pumping water from the
excavation is all that is necessary to
place the project in shape for a re-
sumption of work.
The causeway will be ready for traf-
fic and for use by the railroads with-
in six or eight weeks, Mr. Sangster
stated this morning, probably within
the smaller, limit of time.
