  Notes	"There were 45 women and children at the Porterhouse Tavern in Sabine Pass, and some 15 or 20 men. They remained in it until half of it (the building) was swept away. A yawl (a one-masted sail vessel) was hitched to the house, the water having risen about four feet, when the end of the house was blown off. The yawl was manned and loaded down to the water's edge. The sea was terribly rough, and during one of those spasms, a wave struck the yawl and nearly half-filled it. All of them rushed to one side, the boat capsized, and some of them were never seen again." Among the victims of the shipwreck were Mrs. Edsea Pomeroy, Mrs. Laura Pomeroy and four children, Mrs. Mary Whiting, Homer and Lucy King and their two children, Mrs. Wilson A. Junker and son Carlisle, Mrs. Sarah Vondy and four children, Mrs. B. F. McDonough and daughter, and many others. http://www.wtblock.com/wtblockjr/great1.htm
