No clue was discovered yesterday
as to tne origin or me nre, wuiw
razed the Seashore Hotel at the isle
of Palms early yesterday morning.
The hotel owned by the Isle of Palms
Development Company . was , valued at
$90.OOa. The greater part of the loss
entailed will be made up by fire insur
ance to the extent of $70,000. It was
due to the direction of the wind , that
the naVilion was not burned, after
the hotel nearby had been in flames
for several "hours.-, ..
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr. T. A. Izlar was awakened
by his wife in his house just back
of the hotel. She had discovered that
hotel was on fire. Mr. lziar, care
taker of the hotel, immediately dressed
and ran to the scene "of the conflagra
tion. At this time the entire norm
wine of tha hotel was in flames. The
wind was blowing from the east, car
rying the flames away from the pavil
ion. Mr. Izlar then attempted to get
in telephonic connection with the
city, but was unaeie to do so at me
time. He then ma wnai ne coma w
keep the pavilion from catching fire
by using what fire exunguisners ne
had. Several residents or tne isiana
came to lend assistance, but nothing
could be done, as, the flames slowly
ate away the building.
Mr. James Sottile, vice president
of the Isle of Palms Development
Company, was notified afjthe Charles
