NEVER HEAD OF AGAIN.

The country is perfectly flat, and
almost every one persisted who
failed to reach trees. There is
scarcely a household in the islands
oEon the adjacent coast but lost
many members. The cattle are all
drowned. The boats are swept
away and means OF Communication
with the other districts destroyed.
There is much distress among the
survivorf, which the government is
relieving. A government gazette
says that wherever the storm-wave
passed not third of the popula-
ton survived. The islands have
barely One-fourth of their former
Inhabitants.
