Miami, Fla., Sept. —(AP)—While tirst relief con- tingents were arrivin today, rescue workers continued their efforts at identification and burial of the dead, relief of the injured and the greater task of supplying food, cloth- ing and shelter to the thousands made homeless by the hurri- cane which Saturday lashed the coastal area from West Palm Beach to Miami. : The known death toll at noon today stood at 388. This steadily increased as additional bodies, cast up by the waters of Biscayne Bay and found in the tangled wreckage of torn buildings, were brought to temporary morgucs. Rescuc workers believe the death list will reach more than 700, The list of injured was placed at 1,532 while it is estimated that a complete check will reveal the injured list {9 be more than 4,000. Varying reports from the entire storm area placed the damage at between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000. Deaths in Almost Every Town Scarcely a city or town in the storm area escaped the death toll left in the wake of the hurricane. Greatest havoc was done in Miami and Hollywood, where more than 300 are known to have been killed and drowned jby the rushing waters which swept in from the Gulf stream.
