Mobile, Ala., Sept. 28.—Mobile’s shipping
suffered more than anything else.
Many of her river boats now are beached or
sunk; all complete wrecks. Her docks and doz-
ens of private corporation docks are fearfully
torn up.
The revenue cutter A left has gone down in
Mobile river. She was rammed by some un-
known vessel and sank immediately. Her crew
is believed to have escaped.
The city was put under martial law at dark
and no person allowed to enter the wholesale
district. The city authorities were quick to act
and therefore no disturbancs of anysort re-
sulted.
The loss of life is only, so far as known at this
hour, 8 a. m., one negro baby killed by falling
walls and two negro men drowned in the flood.
