Over forty there was & similar calamity In struction of Last island, off the L coast, by a cyclone, Sept er 12, 1856, Last island was a long, low streak of green, bound around the edge with a lin¢ of intensely white sand Seen in those days from the Loulstana mainland (Afteen | miles away, the lower end of t rish of Lafourche), and part of the parish of St | Mary's (the garden of Loulsiana), it ll"'mrd‘ but & slender bit of green floating I.[vnll‘ the bosom of the summer sea. AS You drew nearsr the land displayed 114 charms. | The island proper was seven miles | wide by about twenty-five long. The woll | was very rich and highly cultivated | Propinquity brought out as i a delicate | photograph all it lice of radiant beauty. | Of forest, so dee i deuse in the far | south, there was n But a few enormous live oak trees had grown upon the island and, in the weird light of the seml-tropic moon, covered from crown to lowst bough | with a long gray moss of the latitude, they seem Illke great giants wrapped in their fuperal robes, waving their arms sloft as they fled from a comiug dles irae Beyond these there were no forest trees, | as 1 have sdfd. The island was but one | long sand spit (only a few feet above the highest tide lavel of the sea), covered with | ever-living green. But it was a very Eden of flowers. The fallen leaves of the live oak for centuries had created in their de cay a bed of rich alluviun which artificial means had greatly | ¢d. The ever warm alr from the further south seas had given to the shrub growth an extraordinary richness of verdure. The orange and lemon | trees, the olive, the oleander (which In Loulsiana i a tree thirty feet high), all of the tribe of japouicas, and the scented | summer flower, jessamine yellow and cape and hundreds of others unknown here made the fsland coruscant with brilliant colored bloows. It seemed that all that was rich and lovely and beautiful in the vegetation of semi-tropics here found its most congenial home In the ecvening, when the sun went down and the warm south wind drew iu | from the sea, the air wouid be heavy with sweet, but unfamiliar, flower odors. You would be enveloped in a very caress of perfume, direct from the heart of the great white Persian jessamine. Ah, the dreary, huppy life of that wonderful Isle 1o the days of long age! True, it was a wateriag place, with a most splendid surf bathing on the side next the open sea But it had none of the garishness of se coast places of later days. It could never haven been like Loug Branch or Cape May To gamblers and games of the halt world Last Island as dificult as Paradise It was impossible to pass the Argus eyes was of the doyen who watched the gangway of the boat, as the passengers came on board for the enchanted isle, as for Adam to return to Eden when it was guarded by the angel with the flaming sword. The men who gathered there were not stran- gers to each other, for in Louisiana then everybody who was anybody knew of his social equal, If he was not a personal ac- | quaintance, no matter in what reglou he lived. So here was a spot, not very much known to the outer world, where could gather, when summer days became long and the dog star raged, the great cotton- planting magnates of Louisiana, Missis- | eippl and Alabama, or the rich courtly creole sugar growers from the Bayou Lafourche country or the Cote d'Or, on | the Misstssippl river, and their con geners, the American sugar planters from the Feliclanas and wealthy, aristocratic Rapides. | Eating and Drinki Once a year the very cream of the coun tryside gentry from the states [ have | named, with a sprinkling of wealthy “city men,” merchants and factors from New Orleans, a few bankers, popular clergy- men from the rich city parishes—who en joyed good living and believed St. Paul was right when he exherted Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach's sake— all these people, with thelr wives and daughters, would congregate at Last Island and eat of the divinest combina- ticns of the French cuisine, produced by cordons bleus, drink-—-sparingly generally | of the good red wines of France—for your old-time planter, especially it he was of creole blood, never abused “God's | good things"—take daily plunges Into the warm surf and thus decorously enjoy a month of the dolce far nlente. Never were men more courtly. Never were | women lovelier. It was the very paradise of gentle, graceful, courteous attention to beautiful women. Here Cupid was en- | shrined, for who could resist the witche of the perfumed summer night or the dark- eyed creole women? Ah, how often was sweet old story told there—that old but ever new-—which Adam first red amid the rokes that bloomed | supernal in Eden! And sometimes, but not often, the scene varied. Men were younger then and the blood of youth ever runs hot. A quick word on the promenade, a Jealous look at the ball, and early next morning on the sands there would be seen that the flash and gleam of the long, | slender, tri-colored dueling sword | on the broad, hard, white beach,| or a pair of dueling pistols—part of every gertleman’s personal belongiugs would be taken from their mahogany case. | A few passes with cel and a man | would 1lo prone as his blood reddened the | sand, run through the body, or the sharp | crack of the dueling pisiol, and a limp, | white-faced body, forever still, would be | silontly carried back to the hotel. Rut this was not often It was the gentle- kindly, harmless courtecus life of the master of the monks of Thelema, whose sole injunction was Fay qui voudras | The season of 1856 at Last island was oue of the most charming ever known since the 1amous water!ng place had been es tablished. Never did brave men and clharming womeu corgregate at this charm- | ing rendezvous in great numbers, or in & fuller, finer spirit of bappiness and hope- ful expectation. The season was at its height. Not only was the hotel proper | filled, but the dozen or so of cottages— generally known as “‘the bachelors' quar- ters"—were all occupled by as high-bred, » gallant Ay & company of gentle- men as the entire south could show. It was agreed that a greater number of representative Louisiana, Alabama and Missisolppl men and women had never been §filered together at any southern water- ing place before The season had been for- | tunate in otber respects. Thus far none of those morning rendezvous upon the sands which Bave been mentioned before had oc- curred, The cool, white beach had not known the flash of the colichemarde or the crack of the desd'y dueling pistol that sea- #o8.

The sea was sometimes as emooth as translucent glass, now as emerald, then sapphire-hued surface was covered with a faintish, y haze. Its loveliness was supernal. The fishing boat like great white sea birds trail ug their wings as they basked in the morniug sunbeams. They were softened in the semi-mist, delicately vaporized to an ethereal beauty. Toward the mainland the forest visible seemed gray and veiled in dtaphanous, nebulous vapor. But is was then, and the sun had scarcly had me to drive away the ghostly gray fog blended with that the sea) from the Lafourche marshes lying along uearest shore. As the sun rose higher the sea mist vanished. But such a day as it was! The thermometric measurement of September in Louisiara is not greatly dif- ferent in its attitude ot heat from that of New York or Washington. This day, how- ever, there was such a downpour of solar warmth that the fsland was almost burn- ing. tle puffs of wind blew and rippled the sea water and turned it into opales cent green. But the cooling sea breezes re- viving and refreshing all liviog things, did oot come. The day was uncomfortable. Men wandered about listlessly. Politics— t was the great Know Nothing year, yet talked of in Loulsiana political annals—even ceased to charm. In the air there was a stillness as though nature were watching and walting in silence, baleful, mysterious ominous. The sunset that evening affrighted 1 souls. It went down in the west, sky red as vermeil, an angy sun the occident blazing across the though u world was in flames the Storm green as an Its seemed and the left as way | All that night the Dago fishermen (a cur- | fous, superstitious class, half Spanish -Ital- | fan and half Creole, taking to the wave like ven gulls) heard out at sea strange sounds, moans as though some supernatural being was in awful agony. The morning of the was 1ike that of the previous day. To- 1 night there came up a terrible thunder storm. ‘ihe thunder was as unlike that of the northern dash of storm as a firecracker wa |18 to the crack and roar of a 6-inch gun. The dweller on the mainiand and the Teche Lafourche planters had never before n such lightning. It flashed from the castern and western horizon great broad green, purple and flamed colored bands of electric blaze a degree in width, And after each awful crash. that almost rent the ear drums there would be a distinetly sulpherous tinge perceptible in Toward the morning of the 12th the thunder and lightning ceased, but the rain continued, and the wind grew stronger from the southwest ened fishermen could be seen in the early morning light flying before the wind for se- cure landings in the safe streams and waters of chenlere caminad Thore was to be at the principal hotel that eveniug the grand ball of the season, for it was to be the last. The band of the French opera bouse was there from New Orleans, then unequaled for its music in America. There were no wind instruments except the cornet. There were no flutes and simiiar sweet sound-producers; the others were strings. The ball room was distant from the maln hotel perhaps 20 yards, and was reached by a covered way, elevated to the level of botb buildinge. It was built very near the sea, and set upon brick pil- lars six feet above the surface of the earth The hotel was constructed In the same fashion, so that the breezes could blow under both edifices and produce better ven- tilation. Broad, wide piazzas surrounded the ball room on three sides, upon which doors opened, 50 that, after each dance, one might take a turn in promenade on the gallery and enjoy the coolness of the fresh light breeze from the sea. The plazzas were about a 100 feet long by 80 feet wide, room were two rows of chairs, and the usual dressing rooms were in tho rear. The musicians occupled a high dals that extended across the end of the in | ball room. The buildings were lighted with | Bas. So much 1n the way of description. To- ward noon of the 12th the sun shone out for an hour, but it was a dull, orange- hued orb, surrounded by a yellow, misty haze that changed constantly. As night came on the sky was covered with a cloud of the deepest blackness. There was a re- newal of the vivid sheet lightaing, but no The sea was in such agitation as the oldest present had never before seen Great, brilllant lights burst from the waves s they were rolled In by the tremendous southwest wind. Deep phosphorescent fires, | Incandescent in serpentine forms, were seen rising from the waves like shadowy mon- sters. And, most terrible of all, there w distinctly audible at intervals In the black- ness and gloom an unearthly moan from the depths of the sea. The women became serfously frightened, and the men realized that pature was in one of her most un- usual and marvelous moods. S8till, no one anticipated any real danger. There had been great storms before. This was but the be- Kining of the equinoctial blow. The ball room was lighted. There was nothing else to do but go to the dance. Women clothed themselves for the evening's ball, alded by deft-handed malds, but with hearts ill at ease. Other thoughts than those of con- Quests were fllling their souls with dread of what might come. But they would go; y dresses, the brilliant lights, the soft, sweet dance music might drive away the vague fears that oppressed their souls. At 10 o'clock the dance was at its height Outside the storm raging. The intons blackne: was broken by the constant broad flashes of lightning and phosphorescent blaze of the sea. A terrible wind blew, with torrents of slanting rain that was as warm as newly drawn blood. 'he band was playing one of Gottschalk's swectest dreamy waltzes (he was a Louisi- anian, you know), “Creole Eyes,” when a girl screamed. Her white satin bottine had been wetted by water coming up through the floor! Terror then beset all. A rush was made for the hotel, but the covered WAy Was goue. It had been carried off by WAVe of the raging sea Mothers had left their little chiliren asleep in the other bouse. How should they get to them? It was utterly impossible, unless cne had Wings, to pass through the toss- ing, boiling flood of maddened sea that rolled between. Of the horrors lowed no Iiving tongue could ever tell. But about widnight a strange sea moan that became a roar grew nearer and louder, un- U1 1t was like 10,000 thundering Ningara It was a tidal wave 1,000 miles long, t miles wide and sixty feet high And as rolled resistless, hotel, ball room, all all was swallowed up in the maw of the pitiless sea. Men, women and little ones were parted never again to meet until that final day, “when the sea ehall give up its dead.” Such a tragedy had never been known before (n the nation's history. Nothing was left of the lovely isle but a few broken brick plllars to mark where lite and beauty had dled 80 awful a death. For weeks pa- trol boats along the mainland shore found nothing but dead bodles. In one instance the corpse of A lady In the last putrescent stages was identified by nea: $50,000 worth of diamonds she had worn that fate- ful night. Think of the ghastliness of it. The only two survivors were a strong, powerful negress, who blindly caught on to & door that was floating by and was carriesd in to the mainland. The other was & tny girl baby, not more than 15 months old.
