DESTROYER SPEEDS TO AID. Navy Reports King Rushing to Assist Steamer Dixie. By the Associated Press. The Navy Department announced today that the destroyer King was steaming full speed to the steamship| Dixie. At 2 am. the King was 90 miles southwest of Careysfort, where the steamer went aground. The King normally could make 30 miles an hour, but reported ‘“heavy weather.” Navy officials said they did | not know how soon it could be ex- pected to reach the Dixie, adding they had received no further communica- tions. Simultaneously, the Coast Guard sent another of its vessels, the sea- going tug Saukee, to Careysfort Reef. The Carrabasset already was on the way. Coast Guard officials agreed that since both those vessels had speeds o!l only about 12 knots it would be some tine before they could reach the Dixie.

Building Reported Standing After Hurricane Strikes, MIAMI, Fla, September 3 (#).— Possible 1dss of life in the Florida Keys in the vicinity of Tavernier, ewept last night by hurricane winds, was reported to the Daily News today by Fred B. Ghent of Jacksonville, director of veteran relief. Director Ghent told the newspaper that only one building, a general store, remained standing in Tavernier. Travernier is a settlement of ap- proximately 100 families, about 65 miles south of Miami. ‘Twenty to 30 miles of railroad track has been washed out in the lower keys, Ghent said. Ghent would not express an opinion regarding the fate of 650 former serv- ice men quartered south of the rail washout. “Worse than the 1926 hurricane at Miami Beach,” was the way Ghent described the wreckage. Whale Harbor, a small fishing settle- ment near Tavernier, “is no more,” Ghent reported.
