The whole building is well ventilated for summer and winter. Flues have been built in all the rooms, and during the coldest weather the pupils can study in warmth and comfort.
The building has been painted cream, with seal brown trimmings, the inside being hard oil finish. The apparatus for the school is complete, and is furnished with everything useful for a first-class institution.
The best of water will be supplied for the building, and a pupil breathing the sweet pure air from the pines and cedars, cannot help enjoying good health, surrounded on one side by the delicious scent from the pines and flowers, and on the other by the balmy breezes wafted over the gulf from other lands.
The play grounds are large, filled with oaks and cedars, with a 6-foot board fence between. The front yard will be used mostly for the teachers for cultivating flowers, which will not only add to the beauty of the place but will be the means of those engaged in the work of plenty out-door, health exercise.
The building and furnishings are estimated at a cost of about $4500 and it can be truthfully be stated that any citizen of the Bay possessed of public spirit, will never be sorry for his part in the payment.

Graves, F. - Messrs. F. Graves and Bob Scott, reporting on the October 1, 1893, hurricane, say they have reliable information that there are 35 schooners abandoned in the marshes, driven off the oyster reefs.
Each of these vessels carried a crew of from three to six men, and of these but five have been saved.
One of these was blinded by the spray and sand, having drifted on a piece of wreck for fifteen miles and landed on Cat Island.
When found by a passing boat he was in danger of being eaten up by the coons, which were driven to desperation by hunger, and attacked him furiously. He is an Italian. He was dreadfully bitten, but it is thought he will recover.
He was carried to Biloxi. One luggar was found in the marshes with four dead men lashed to the rigging. They could not be identified. (Picayune, Friday Oct. 6, 1893 p 6 col 7 - VF MJS VII 00479)
